There seems to me real remedy for
those small communities and also for
agriculture. This remedy. which Is
the mixing Of industry with agricul-
t1re, is now being applied in many To-
calities with satisfactory results
Industry and agriculture are better
balanced in Ohio, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania than in any other states
Of the Union. and in these states
there is no serious agricultural prob
lem and we hear little complaint from
the farmers This mixing Of industry

than twelve years these have brought
the population OF that city up to
seventeen thousand. Just few miles
away, at Elizabethton, they are build
ing a great rayon plant, the first unit
to cost $5,OOOOOO. The population Of
that town is now two thousand, but
it is estimated that this will be multi
piled by five in less than two years.
1t is stated that the total investment
in manufacturing industry in that com
munity within period OF five years
will probably reach $5O,000,OO0.
The balancing Of industry and agri-
culture Will solve most Of our so-called
agricultural problems and we Will not
need such political measures as will In
my opinion, do harm IL enacted to the
very class they pretend to benefit.

country cannot continue along happy lines
with only sections of the country prosperous.
Prosperity must be passed around if any
body is long to enjoy it. This question can
not be solved by the farmers alone, but the
majority opinion is that there is no legisla-
tive remedy for agriculture. It is an eco
nomic question pure and simple and must be
worked out accordingly.
A few years ago it was contended that
agriculture did not have sufficient credit
facilities That proposition was often made
a political question. do not presume there
are many who will question the fact that
agriculture now has ample credit facilities.

The 17-year locusts have appeared
during the past few days In the wooded
sections of nearby Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
For IT years these insects, described
bv DR.. A. l.. Ouaintance, of the Bureau
of Entomology of the Department OF
Agriculture, as a rather small local
brood, have lived underground feeding
on the roots of trees, and IN another
month they will have returned to their
subterranean dwelling place.

probably are greatly reduced in num-
bers, however, from the last invasion,
DR.. Quaintance said, since they cannot
endure civilization. When the woods,
their last shelter are cut away they dis
appear and do not come back.
The present visit. according to DR..
Quaintance, is not likely TO cause any
great damage. The locusts do little
feeding during their flight, but cause
the most injury by drilling holes into
the tWigs of trees as depositaries for
their eggs. When the invasion is over

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
NY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The principles Of speculation apply
universally whether the medium is a
commodity or a security. The first es-
sential is that the speculator be able
to assume the risk In other words he
must have the requisite capital. Specu-
lation invariably involves losses.
The best that the speculator can hope
for is that the profits will exceed the
losses. 1t follows then that he must have
sufficient capital to stand loss when
necessary. Too much emphasis cannot
be put on this point. To undertake
to carry a speculative risk without the
necessary resources Is to court disaster.
Before one enters upon speculative
commitment he should sit down and ask
himself what will be the effect upon
his fortunes II the venture turns out
wrong. Will he be crippled financially?
The mind should be set at ease upon
this point before the market is entered.
Afterward is too late. 1t will be seen at
once that application of this rule will
exclude host of would-be-sp e-speculators.
In the second place the capital must
be proportionate to the amount of the
risk. A man with $4,000 in his specu-
lative fund cannot take so large an in
terest as one with 100000. Specula-
ton looks like an easy way of making
money without work and the temptation
is ever present to extend ones self be-
yond ones means. 1t is surely fatal
Unless one has the self-control to
hold down the amount of his commit
ments to a total commensurate with
his financial ability he faces ruin in
speculation,

COMPETITION KEEN
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
ChrysIer-D Dodge Merger Held
as Forerunner of Other
Big Consultations.
BY ]. C. RoYLE

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK, May 30,-Conclusive
evidenc. of the further tightening of
the lines Of competition in the automo-
bile industry was given today by the
progress of the Chrysler-Dodge merger.
Men closely connected with 10th the
manufacturing and financial ends OF
the industry saw in this consolidation
the first Of a series of mergers which
would permit the cutting of overhead
production and distribution costs.
Scarcely a single company among
the active producers of automotive We
hicles was omitted from the list of
merger possibilities in discussions to-
day Chief among the individual factors
mentioned was the name Of w. G. Du-
rant That financier is known to have
begun planning for some possible con-
solidation as long ago as last April
when a Delaware corporation was
formed under his sponsorship specifi-
cally for this purpose.
Durant One of Pioneers.
The company has never functioned
but Mr.. Durant'S name has been in
timately connected with rumors of re-
organization involving many of the
Ohio and Michigan automobile pro-
ducers. Mr.. Durant was responsible TO
no small degree for the formation and
initial success of General Motors but
his activities Of late years have led
him to neglect the production field.
Cyrus Eaton of Cleveland also was
mentioned today as a possible head of
motor consultations. Mr.. Eaton has
been successful in efforts to merge
a number of the independent steel con-
Germs in northern Ohio.
Continental Motors, producers OF au-
tomobile engines, was prominent among
the merger possibilities mentioned. So
was the Cleveland Automobile Co.
DenialS Of merger plans in all Sec
tions followed close on the heels OF
the rumors and undoubtedly will con-
tinue to DO so until final agreements
are reached Speculation Is rife con-
cerning possibilities involving Packard,
Willys-OverlanG, Hudson, Hupp, Gra-
nam Paige, Studebaker and a dozen
others.
Big Producers Not Overlooked.
first on the weakest concerns. but the
huge producers were by no means over
looked. 1t is well known that Wall
street financiers have cast longing eyes
on the Ford Co. as basis for a con-
Solidation They would be glad to have
the company If they could have 1t
without the dominance Of the heads
thereof. but few commentators could
be found today who could visualize Mr..
Ford relaxing his hold on the affairs
of the company which bears his name.
The Chrysler-Dodge merger undoubt-
edIy viii have wide effect on the
companies producing raw material and
accessories for motor manufacture. A
readjustment Of buying policies un-
doubtedly will take place. It also is
reasonable TO suppose that there VIII
be a decided change In methods Of dis
tribufson and some readiustment Of
policy regarding national advertising.
