u. s. FARMER AS
WORLD FEEDER
Grain Cooperative Head
Sees Globe as Limit for
u. S. Markets.
TO FEED THE WORLE
BY ROY J. GIBBONS
(NEA Service Writer)

Chicago.--The American farmer may
soon feed the world on cooperative
basis.
This is the vision at headquarters
of the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton here.
The plan hangs fire on pending me-
gotiations between representatives of
two great wholesale cooperative buy
ing societies of Great Britain and the
CO. Operative Grain Marketing COM
pany of this city.
The British societies have some six
million members and with their fami-
lies represent IS million consumers.
Their net sales to members in 1928
amounted to more than $405, 100000.
Representatives from this vast pur-
chasing population have proposed tax
ing eleven thousand tons Of American
grain week through the Cooperative
Grain Marketing company, which is
affiliated with the American Farm
Bureau federation.
Only a Starter.
This tonnage would be equivalent
to 370,0Oo bushels, or one good sized
cargo vessel capacity.
The trade commission which came
to Chicago to negotiate the deal for
Great Britain was composed of w. T..
Charter of Cambridge, A. M. Hobley
of Liverpool and Joseph Bradshaw of
MANCHESTER. All are directors in the
Co Operative Wholesale society and
Scottish Wholesale society.
President Gray Silver of the Grain,
Marketing company, which is owned
and controlled on cooperative basis
by American farmers, says the nego-
tiations will eventually result in per-
manent trade relations between the
organized consumers of England and
the organized grain producers of the
United States.
Better for Farmer.
Silver believes that proper co-opera-
ton will double the farmers share
of the consumers 10 cents paid for the
average loaf of bread.
At present the American grain farm
err is getting but two cents out of this
dime.
"A world economy organized large
ly on a cooperative basis so far
foodstuffs are concerned, may
an impossible vision" says Silve.
"But how many people realize that
the farmers Grain Marketing com
pany is already marketing more thar
one-half of the entire C, numerical grain
crop Of the United States?
Waste Eliminated.
"The rapidly increasing population
Of the world begins to crowd the pro-
duction of foodstuffs, and consumers
cannot much longer stand the burdens
of waste and overcharges of the old
system of distribution.
Sound economic practice makes it
certain that the worlds food produc-
ers and the worlds consumers must do
business directly with one another"

GETS
HISTORIC BALI
Autographed Oval Used in
+, Notre Dame-P Princeton
Tilt to Kenoshan.
GREETINGS TO TEAM

faint echo of the 1924 football
season was heard in Kenosha, today
when Charles Stanhope, a senior stu
dent at Notre Dame, displayed the
official pigskin used in the Notre Dame
VS.. Princeton clash this season. This
was the colorful spectacle in which
the Irish Terrors" from South Bend
clipped the sharp paws of the Tigers,
twelve to nothing.
The oval has been autographed by
the regulars, reserves and Coach
Knute Rockne as we'll as the captain
and coach of Princeton, and has been
in the window of the Regner Jewelry
store for the past few days. The ball
appears to be only slightly soiled
after the big game and is tied with
the blue and gold colors of Notre
Dame. The ball was presented to
be given away at the dance to be given
in the Masonic temple, Waukegan, on
Friday night, by the North Shore club
of the University of Notre Dame.
Bids to the dance have been sent
out by local students on the commit
tee and scores of young folks have
already signified their intentions of
accepting.
Aside from the dance the local Mo-
ire Dame football followers are "dop-
ing" the outcome of the Notre Dame
Stanford clash at Pasadena, on New
Years day. The Kenoshans are per-
sonally acquainted with the Sour
Horsemen," and are reading the daily
~
the coast. On Christmas day, Keno
sha students at Notre Dame sent tele-
grams to the team which at that time
was stopping off at Houston, Texas.
The messages wished the players sue
cess in their efforts over on the coast.
A victory over Leland Stanford would
give the Irish Wonders the right to
claim the national football title as it
has defeated everything it went up
against this season.

RADIO.

Radio is the fastest growing indus
try in our history. It has swept into
general popularity far more quickly
than, for instance, the auto.
In 1920 the total sales OF radio sets
and parts amounted to only two million
dollars. The next year, this rose to
five millions. In 1922 it was SO mil
lions, which doubled the year follow
ing. Sales in 1924 scared to 800 mil
lion dollars.
Our generation is unique in the way
it quickly adopts new devices. Form
er generations were suspicious of the
new. Even the sewing machine was
bitterly fought after its perfection
The public believed it would throw
seamstresses out of work.

PUTS ROMANCE
INTO DRAB JOB
Makes Gloves for Boxers,
Pictures Them as
Brave knights.
USES HER IMAGINATION

Chicago, Ill. "If there's romance
in your job you'll like it. If there's
no romance, put some in"
Come these words not from peda-
gogue nor preacher, but from the prize
maker of Knockout boxing gloves.
Her name is Anna Ross. She's just
IS and seems bit out of place, per-
haps, in the unique calling she has
chosen.
The mind could conjure comedy Anna
better in the picture we're she mistress
behind some counter laden with lacey
things and other pretties for the
ladies.
But Anna waves a contemptuous
hand toward any suggestion of the lat
ter and similar roles.
Calls on Imagination.
Behind the purring needle of her
sewing machine she sits all day pass
ing the magic Of her deft hands over
cumbersome piles of leather.
These by some miracle or other seem
to take form under the eye and meta
morphose into fistic "dukes."
Pride rules Annals work. A song
sings in her heart the live-long day
while she molds and pads and weighs
to the ounce the gloves intended to
make the multitudes cheer when plac-
ed on the hands of "One-Round" o.
Brien and K. o. Clancy Gin the oppo-
site corner, ladies and gents"
If you have difficulty reconci,ing de-
mure Anna in the niche of champion
knockout" artist then that's because
you fail to see the reason for that
smile she wears and that song that
carols in her heart.
Boxers Her knights.
In a way that has been pronounced
perfect, Anna has risen to the top of
her craft. None better than she can
be found. That makes her satisfied.
She is content.
But happiness could not have been
hers had she felt that making boxing
gloves was just task.
True enough, there is nothing very
stimulating in the work, but Anna de-
cided that she would make 1t romantic.
The fighters are her knights.
Of old they went into battle with
their ladies' 'kerchiefs dangling from
their lance poles.
So, too, Anna sends her unseen he
roes into the fray with an imaginary
luck token.
Thus the job that was just job
she has made something very impor-
tant.
Anna says you can do the same thing
yourself. She suggests that you try
it. Just play at make-believe.

types of training that make an en-
ploye more valuable than training in
industrial safety. The trained man
keeps out of trouble in the plant and
he keeps others out of trouble, by the
force of his example. The foreman
cannot do it all. and the help Of the
trained men in his department makes
safety the rule.
Under modern conditions Of en-
ployes' benefit organizations. every
employer has a stake in the health and
fitness of the operative. 1t is to
everybody's interest to have everyone
in the plant well and able-bodied.
Surrounded by safeguards in the
plant, the worker Is protected from in
jury. But his training must 60 furth
er it must extend beyond the factory
doors. He must be trained to live
safely in his home and on the streets.
1t is surprising that men who are
careful in the plant become careless
the moment they leave it. There is
no sense in being too gloomy about
the dangers which beset the modern
citizen: but dangers do exist. and a
recognition Of that fact is the first
step in protection against them.
The safety-educated man. woman
and child live longer, and are thappier,
when they die, all Of them is buried in
one place. Industry is doing its full
share in spreading the gospel Of educa-
ton in public safety.

Ideal Driving Season Of
Year Opens, Closed
Car Sales Gain.

Autumn is the ideal driving season
Of the year. The roads are hard, the
weather brisk and pleasant, and the
countryside in its most attractive
dress.
That fact is undoubtedly behind the
active demand for motor cars, accord
ing to William Steinhardt, Hudson-Es-.
sex distributor. He estimates that even
more families are now taking week
end rides than in the usual vacation
days of summer.
~This, of course, directs attention to
the especial advantages Of enclosed
cars" he said. "For the autumn ride
an enclosed car Is almost a necessity.
1t can be opened during the warmer
hours Of the day so that all the bene-
fits of q fresh breeze are obtained.
Then when the cooler hours come along
it can be closed to give as complete
protection as is desired.
CLOSED CAR SPECIALISTS.
ain my opinion, Hndson-Essex are
still the recognized closed car special
lists of the industry. No other concern
builds so high a percentage OF closed
cars, no other has SO energetically
studied and developed the closed car
demand, and no other has had the ex-
perience of building a third Of a mil.
lion coaches. The word coach indeed
Is closely allied with Hudson Essex.
Broughams and sedans are other pop
ular Hudson enclosed cars.
"Here in San Antonio, probably the
proportion. of Hudson-Essex enclosed
cars is more than 80 per cent. Both
Hudson and Essex coaches are offer
ed, because of this volume, at actually
less than open cars-whicn probably
IL unique in the industry. We know
Of no other case.
GREAT VALUE.
@The coach has contributed nightly
to Hudson-Essex success in the past
few years, and yet it Is neither the
coach alone nor the lowered Hudson
Essex prices which have brought about
this ever expanding growth.
Neither price alone nor any one
model could have accounted for this
in fact. The factor responsible has
been a consistent policy of giving a
high degree Of all-around value. It Is
this one distinguishing feature-good,
plain, unexcelled value for the money
that has made Hudson-Essex the
most popular line of SKIES in the
world.

In the face Of drastic price reduc-

and desp..c the fact that the reduc-

nounced until September 1, sales for
Moon cars for the month of August
show a 25 per cent increase over
the sales of the month of July, re-
ports the Embleton Motor company.
This unusual sales record" says
W. r. Brashear, assistant general
sales manager Of the Moon Motor
Car company, lis no doubt due to
the growing popularity of the Moon
cars for 1926 especially the new Moon
coach de luxe and the Moon Arrow
Head roadster, recently announced.
both of which are mounted on the
Moon series "A chassis and are lead
ing al other models in sales.
STRONG APPEAL
"These two models seem to strike
a popular cord with motor car buyers
throughout the country and in both
are incorporated a number Of refine
ments that have a strong appeal for
many motorists.
The unusual Moon sales record in
August is due in large part to the
remarkable cooperation of our dis
tributors and dealers who report an
intense interest in Moon and Diana
cars throughout the country, an in
terest which is substantially backed
up by sales. The unusual activity at
the main plant during August has
necessitated an increase in the per-
sonnet of both the general offices and
the manufacturing departments.
CLOSED CAR POPULAR.
~There is no let up in a drive
Always in fact numerous dealers and
owners are almost daily calling at
the factory for the cars they have
purchased despite the intensely hot
weather in the past several weeks.
Shipments are now being made in
substantial quantities on another
popular Moon model, the series A
four door standard sedan, also on the
new Diana phacton and roadster. II
is interesting 10 note in connection
with the large volume Of cars ship
ped in August that exactly As per
cent of the total shippers were Diana
cars. the balance being Moon cars.
1T is expected that September will
eclipse all shipping records of Moon
cars. The two chief contributing rea-
sons for this assertion being the
drastic price reductions in Moon
series a cars announced September
1 with added value in the way of
new refinements and comforts and the
acquisition of large manufacturing
