LOS ANGELES-Recent figures
indicate that California is producing
only ~ per cent of the pork and pork
products required for local consump-
ton.
California required over 491,00O,-
600 pounds of pork and pork pro-
ducts in 1925 and produced only
around 100000 pounds. It can
readily be seen that with the popu-
lation estimated at over 100000 and
a per capita consumption of pork Of
u pounds per annum the western
states have a worth while Opportun-
ity in taking advantage of this out
let for porkers which is second to
none in the United States.
This fact, along with the differen-
tial between Middle Western prices
and California prices, comprises what
has been aptly termed I protective
tariff; for several months past a
spread Of around $500 per hundred
weight having been maintained in the
coasts favor over hog prices at Mis-
souri, river points.
The result of this has been that
since 1919, when the hog population
of California started to dwindle, the
prices realized for California hogs st
the point Of production have been
higher on an average than for any
point in the United States. =
With California supplying only Z
per cent of the pork and pork pro-
ducts required it can fairly be es-
timated that not over Is per cent OF
80 per cent of the hogs required to
meet the coast demand are produced
west of the Rocky mountains. This
being the case, the likelihood Of over
production doesn't seem imminent.
In developing hog production the
selection of type is most important
We shouldn't turn to any particular
breed so much as we should to select
ing the Bacon type" which is de-
manded for coast needs. The loca,
demand is largely for pork to cut uT
fresh or to be turned into hams anC
bacOns, from hogs ranging from 16(
to 100 pounds.
Many people who have had no ex.
perience in hondling hogs are BEING

JAPAN SLOW IN WINNING
BACK ECONOMIC SOUDTTY
American Survey Of Conditions Pic
lures the Island Empire In
Bad Way.

WashiugtOn.-AlthOugh Japan took
less of an active part In the late war
than any other participant, it has been
the slOwest to recover and has not yet
wOn back its economic sOlidity. This
fact has been a~scertained by a COM
~prehensive survey OF the japanese
situation by the Mercantile Trust
company Of California, one of the
largest banks west Of the Rocky noun
tainS.
Japan had two hard blows after
the armistice-its industry and bust
ness suffered a depression Of severe
intensity, and then came the earth
quake, which destroyed a vast amount
Of property and stifed trade for the
time being.
Although 100000 people live in
Japan the territory occupied is smaller
than the state Of Texas. Including
Korea, FormOsa and Sakhalin. the
japanese empire has only 245,O 0
square miles. Mountains occupy 70
per cent Of the area Of Japan proper.
Only Is per cent Of the mainland is
arabic. The 100000 people dwell
ing on the mainland must get their
food from a cultivable soil about half
the size Of Iowa.
Japan's population is divided about
half and half between city and rural
subjects. Six cities In the empire
have a population CT more than 400,
600. The average size Of a farm in
japan is two acres. There are two
great cities, Tokyo and Osaka, each
of which has a population Of more
than 100000
Perhaps it is because the empire
has grown too fast, has come tOC
rapidly into the family Of civilized
nations. But from whatever reason
It is apparent the empire is In a bad
way.
For one thing, Japan has not the
backbone Of wealth the occidental ma
tons have. The last figures compiled
show Japan has a per capita wealth
Of only $214. Compare this with th'
per capita wealth Of citizens Of thu
United States-$3,O2O. The per capits
income OF the Japanese people 4
only 500 a year, while the per capitl
income in the United States is 5000
This means that ever a slight econ
Omic shock strains the econOmi
stamina Of the nation to the breakin
point.

Of Japan are quite confident It vii

A company of 50-keen-minded vot-
ers attended the session of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union,
held Tuesday afternoon, at the home
Of Mrs. F. H. Benjamin on South
Third avenue. Mrs. E. ". Thompson,
vice president, was in the chair, in
place of president, Mrs. Birch, who
was unavoidably absent. A stirring
address was given by Mrs. Barbara
Wylie, corresponding secretary for
the North Dakota State W. C. T. u.
who is now returning to her home
at Fargo after attending the national
convention of w. c. T. u. at Los An
geles, California. National needs and
results were outlined by Mrs. Wylie
in fashion helpful to local work. Ad-
dresses were also made by several
candidates for city and county office,
who told of their official standards in
regard to temperance problems. The
latter part Of the session was Occu,
pied with discussion of local condi-
tions, as they may be affected By
election returns. Light refreshments
were served by the hostess, during
the discussion.

POSED BEFORE THE CAMERA
Seventy-nine Pioneers Have Their
Pictures Taken

The "old-timers" were the heroes
of the day in Bozeman last Satur-
day. They gathered in Hamilton's
gallery to the number of 20, to have
a group picture taken. They sat in
four groups, which will be joined to-
gether.
They formed an exceedingly in
teresting body of men. They came
to the county 20 or 80 years ago and
few are under so years of age. They
are exceedingly well preserved for
men of their age. With one or two
exceptions, there was probably no
man present who was not capable of
doing a good days work. Indeed, it
would be hard to find in an eastern
town an equal number of men Of
their age as vigorous as they. Father
Miles was probably the oldest, he be-
ing over 80. Judge Duke of Willow
Creek and Thomas Dunn of Three
Forks were among the next in age.
They came from all parts Of the
county. One hundred and fifty post
al cards, bearing a notification of the
meeting, had been sent out to the
piOeers and the greater part of those
who did not respond were residents
of the city.
The gathering was in some respects
a sort Of social reunion, as many had
not met for some time. The idea
which, we believe, originated with
William Rea, ST., and was worked
principally by J. D.. McCamman, was
a good one, and there will undoubt-
edly be a large demand for the pic
ture. We are told that the pioneer
women of the county are preparing
to have a group of themselves photo
graphed.
The pioneers of the county have
met two or three times. Charles P
Blakeley is temporary president Of
a sort Of temporary organization eff.
fected. At their last meeting a com
mittee wa appointed on constitution
and bylaws and permanent organiza.

ing held last Saturday it was decided
by those present to give all pioneer!

~ganization, and announcements ar,
being circulated, calling them together
the last Saturday in November. 4
committee, consisting of Messrs
Thomas, Corbly, Lindley, Haskin
and Morgan, was appointed on tina
day to examine the constitution an
bylaws prepared, make any change
deemed necessary, and prepare TO

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Uses of "Short" Machinery,
By GEORGE r. HUGHES.

few more observations regarding
short selling are in order before we
dismiss the topic. One point Of in
terest to investors is that the facilities
provided for borrowing stocks make
it possible for the actual holder of a
block of shares to dispose Of them at
the market price regardless Of
whether he is in a position immedi-
ately to make delivery.
It may be incOnvenient or even i'm
possible for him to go to his safe de-
posit box in the bank and take out
the certificate representing his stock
to send to his broker This is not
necessary however. He may sell the
stock just the same as though he
were q speculator by making a short
sale, and his broker will borrow it for
delivery. Then later on he may close
the transaction by sending the stock
TO the broker at his leisure. The only
condition is that the investor have an
account with the broker. and that his
sale be protected by a cash margin.
Large holders of stock often use
this method Of making sales, and
often retain technically short Of the
market" for long time. Sometimes
they buy pack their STOCK instead OF
delivering IT. when that operation
proves profitable or when they change
their opinion as to the outlook for
that particular security.
All this applies to stocks. There is
no such machinery for the short SELL
ing OF bonds. That Is to say. there is
no organized market in which bonds
may be borrowed by short sellers
Dealers sometimes sell bonds short
when they are sure that they can bor-
how them for delivery, but the outside
investor cannot ordinarily. avail him
self OF this method. In IT'S place ne
may sell his bonds for delayed de-
livery" meaning that the buyer
agrees to give him a certain number
OF days before delivery Of the actual
certificates. Generally the buyer Of
bonds for delayed delivery demands O
slight concession on the price for ex-
tending this privilege to the seller.

MEN AND MONEY
By N. S. Rukeyssr.
(Copyright. 1926.l

Henry Ford is by no means . back
number In the automotive industry.
Other manufacturers still look to him
for new ideas. Mr.. Ford has habit
uated the rest Of the industry to
series of surprises, and other manufac-
turers are always on edge to learn
the newest Ford policies.
In a year in which the Ford Motor
Co. declined in the relation of
it's output to the total production of
the industry as q whole, the Ford
Co. is currently-in the final quarter
Of the year-staging something OF
comeback. The Ford production fig
ures are no longer available to out
siders. but the railroads in the DetrUit
district report that recent Ford ship
nents are far heavier than indicated
by operations in the first three-Quar-
ters Of the year.
The precise cause Of tho revival Is
difficult to trace, yet It Is no secret
that Mr.. Ford has recently been in
spring sluggish dealers. In q recent
talk to his selling forces the wizard
of Dearborn is said to have stressed
the fact that his car Is still selling
nearly 5000 below the models Of other
companies. The recent intensiflcation
Of selling efforts is bearing fruit.
Public Seeking Values.
Another factor Is that. in spite Of
the current large volume Of retail
sales. the public Is searching for val.
ues, and Is to large extent moved by
price considerations.
For the year as q whole the out
standing feature has been the relative
growth in Importance in the industry
Of the General Motors Corporation,
which last year made one out of five
cars manufactured, and which now
makes one out Of four. This has been
a General Motors year, marked espe
cially by gains in the Chevrolet and
Oakland divisions, which in 1925 did
not share the large measure of pros
perity which the Buick and Cadillac
Motors. the Chrysler benefited from
growing public favor.
AS the automobile industry becomes
concentrated in fewer hands 1t tends
TO attain greater stability, but 1t is
still subject to wide fluctuations re.
sllting from changing styles and
alternating buying whims. The larg-
est rewards in 1927 will go to the en-
terprises which can capture public
fancy. The ratios Of sales among
various companies are by no means
fixed. There Is probably greater
competitive spirit within the industry
than ever before, with each factor
fighting to retain or increase its share
of total volume. In 1927 this scram-
BILE Is likely to be further intensified.
Ford's Ideas Accepted.
Mr.. Ford's ideas on business prac-
tice have been widely accepted by the
industry as a whole.
In the first place, he contributed the
idea Of specialization. His company
specialized on the making Of single
chassis, achieving the
economies which spring from giving
entire attention to one task.
Secondly, he was the first to see that
