THE FARM BUSINESS.

~ HOMAS CAMPBELL of Montana, of
the largest farmers in the United States
with his $4,000 acres believes the big
gest investment opportunity open in America is
in the farming industry.
'The chief difficulty in this new develop
ment of farming-big scale productions the
problem Of financing" he says "The biggest
obstacle farming has to overcome is the univers-
al belief that it cannot succeed My associates
and hold the opposite belief.
eve have too many people on the farms now.
But in 20 years we will have less than 20 per
cent of our population there. The people who
leave the farm will be needed to take care of our
constantly growing industrial demands.
at will not be long before we have many
farming organizations, well-financed, managed
by business men with the help of the high-grade
engineers and skilled men, who will be paid as
high wages as the skilled men in the cities. When
this comes there will not be any scarcity of farm
labor"
Mr.. Campbell, formerly North Dakota farm
boy, is applying big business methods to the
farm. He can pillow 900 acres, seed 1000 acres,
harvest 1000 acres, and thresh 10000 bushels of
wheat daily
If big business methoGs work in every other
industry, why not in farming? They are being
used by many farming organizations with in
creasing effectiveness. Farmers cooperative as
sociations united big business effort of
thousands of dollars in 1927-sold products valu-
ed at around two and one-half billion dollars.
Farmers know that ultimate success for them
lies in joint effort zone for all-all for one

SMALL TOWN TALK

Hoover won't kiss babies and Smith won't
lay bricks. This campaign is going to be unique
from any way you look at it.
Too bad Redwood Falls has to employ out
side talent for its band concerts. The town is
too big and too progressive to make it seem just
right.
Mrs-elem L. Shaver says Eventually a wo-
mans ticket or third ticket will be launched;
why not now" We suspect its chiefly because
women are Republican or Democrat in their po-
litica views. And which side is going to give
up first.
Florida isn't so badly off as a state as are
some of her citizens. She is one of four states
that has no debts. The other three are Nebraska,
Kentucky and Wisconsin. The bonded indebted
ness of the other states in the Union totals ST.
1000, 900. Really quite little sum to have to
crawl out from under.
The St. Paul Dispatch, wise in the psychol-
ogy of clothes, is advocating new uniforms for
its traffic cops, saying make them look like Of
ficers and they will be better officers" Sounds
like good argument to us. There is more than
SAOsnSS
make the men. Anyway they bolster him up
considerably.
We had thought all the cigarette "tests in
the world had been tried. But the Minneapolis
Journal proposes another one.
There is another cigaret test, be-
side the blindfold one. 1t consists in
determining how long they will burn,
by themselves. Six popular brands have
been subjected to the test by government
officials, and all of them were found,
on being lit, to burn steadily until re-
duced to ashes. Some Turkish cigarets
required thirty minutes to burn out.
The research should be noted by all
who throw down lighted cigarets, espec-
tally in the forests outings, motor
ings and camping trips. These cigar
cts firebrands in dry spot, where
there is inflammable grass or other lit
ter. And the menace of destruction that
lies in every such live discard is far
worse than a smokers pipe ashes or
cigar butt.
Every person who heads for the tim
Der country should heed the warning Of
this cigaret test. Otherwise he may be
the unwilling cause of destructive con-
fagration.

knew it would be. With the exception of few
Missionaries or publicity seekers the women new
er expected to "clean up politics" nor to work
any other vast reforms. But they did feel then,
as they feel now, that as human beings they had
a rights to the franchise-and they went after
it and got it. At that they about equal the men
in the proportion of them exercising that right
and with much less background. We don't see
any particular urge for men coming forth ever
and again to bleat because things are as they
were before the feminine ballot was cast. If
no woman in the United States ever voted, her
right to the ballot would remain right Wo-
men are serious minded about needed reforms
but because those reforms haven't been brought
about in a scant decade is not sufficient grounds
for the frequent appearance of suggestion that
the vote be snatched back from them We repeat
that, with our whole mentality, we wish they
would vote or at least study the ocession for
voting with some intelligence. But the fact that
they don't doesn't detraet one iota from the
fright" Of the matter.

CHICAGO STATFAIFN
In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-For the
trader there are daily opportunities
because the market is so big and
active. He is interested in the next
move of two, five or ten points and
it does not matter to him whether
the move is up or down just so he
can sense what is coming. The in
VeStor, the man that thinks only in
terms of long pull holdings, whether
from the standpoint of permanent
income or ultimate profit, knows
only Of the two great periods that
interest him. One is that prolonged
period when surface looks bearish
and the farseeing accumulate. The
other is when the surface looks very
bulliSh, excitement high, advances
rapid and the far-seeing distribute.
If you will divide the market into
two sections you would find, If you
had all the facts before you, that
section one is now in that period
where some high class distribution
is going on. In section two we be-
lieve accumulation is going on daily.
In this section are located the indus
tries that have gone through recent
depression; here is where the oils are
located

SEEKS TO GET TAX
State May Collect on ES-
tate of Ellen Terry.

Learning that a British master in
chancery has decreed that the late
Ellen Terry, English actress, was
legally Hoosier, Schuyler G. Now
rer, inheritance tax administrator,
is investigating possibilities of COL
lecting an Indiana tax on her estate
of $111,000
Dame Terry died at her cottage in
Kent, England. July IL. The court
ruling, as published in the London
Daily Mail, decreed that Dame
Ellen Terry was domiciled at Indi-
ana, United States of America, and
therefore was an American citizen. 4"
This decision is based on the fact
that she wars the wife of James Us
Selmann, native of Goshen, known
on the stage as James Carew.
Carew was the actress second hus-
band. They were married at Pitts
burg, Pa, in 1907. Carew was her
leading man and was then IS. Dame
Terry at the time was SO.

By United Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 24.-Two
chairs and one egg were broken
during Billy Sundays denunciation
Of Governor Alfred E. Smith here
last night.
The evangelist, in characteristic
style, succeeded in demolishing two
chairs on the platform.
He didn't break the egg although
the egg was broken by or rather
near him, three feet away to be
exact.
Several persons in the audience
pointed out the suspected antagon-
ist Of the evangelist.

COFFIN COHORT
is FOR LESLIE
Nominee Can DiSpeI Doubt
by Visit to Hawkins.

If Harry G. Leslie, Republican
nominee for Governor, has any
lingering doubts as to whether he
is getting the wholehearted support
OF the George v. Coffin organiza-
ton in Marion county he might dis
pei them by walking into Sheriff
Omar Hawkins office.
Tuesday Hawkins office walls
were just places to hang map and
the windows something you looked
through.
Today they were a riot.
Where one heretofore had to
guess, that Leslie'S often repeated
declaration that he does not sub
scribe to escape from punishment
for political corruption through the
statute of limitations was made
with tongue in cheek, the answer
screamed down from the walls and
windows Of Hawkins Office today.
Hawkins is Coffin's Republican
county chairamn. Ten pictures Of
Leslie adorned Hawkins walls and
windows today, along with htho .
graphs of Hoover and Curtis and
Senator Arthur r. Robinson.
Outside Marion county, Leslie in
his speeches has been attempting
to convey the impression that he
was having nothing to do with COT =
fin and the "unholy' Marion coun-
ty machine. Coffin was co-defend-
ant with Governor Ed Jackson in
the McCray bribery conspiracy case
which was dropped because. of the
statute of limitations.

limited Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Favorable
corporation reports and railroad
earnings, increased car loadings, an
other decrease in Oil production and
prospects of ease in money helped
the stock market into higher
ground in early dealings today.
Radio Corporation spurted more
than three points, Union Carbide
more than two and a long list of
other issues gained nine to two
points with strength in such lead
ers as U. S. Steel, General Motors,
General Electric and American Can.
Trading was very active with
blocks of 10000 and 10000 shares
common at the opening.
Continental Baking B opened
10000 shares at Z and then rose to
a new high at III, up u; Nevada
Consolidated opened 1900 shares at
80, later rising to 929s, also a new
high and up Is.
Oils were active and strong. Su-
perior opened $4,000 shares at 107s,
then rose to IL, up % and a new
high. Sinclair opened $4,000 shares
at 80, rising to 32h, a new high
and up Il. Atlantic Refining
spurted 4 points to 223, while
Phillips moved up fractionally and
others of the group exhibited a
strong tone in active turnover.
Union Carbide and Carbon was an
active feature of the speciality
group, rising AZ points to new
high at 199A. New highs were
made by Spang Chalfant, up 3%
at 51&, and Simmons Company,
up 22s at 907s.
The copper group was strong,
featured by new highs in Anaconda
at 8912, up q, and Chile up q at
SOS. Kennecott also made a new
peak at 1874, up u. Cerro de
Pasco was in demand. Greene
Cananea rose 3 points.
The department of justice today
reported no objection to the Dupon-
Grasselli merger, according to priv
ate advices and this brought out
good gains in both issues.
United States Steel Corporation
broke through its old high for the
present shares, reaching 1855, I'D
rs points from the previous close.
Radio spurted points to 228 and
the entire list ruled strong.

The stubborn action Of wheat
makes bears cautious about selling

power. A large speculative long
interest exists, however, which
probably will be liquidated on the
bulges. Many traders are out of
the market, waiting developments

weather is aiding the movement OF
new corn. Early arrivals are ex-

Light receipts and the steady
cash situation feature the oats

developed and sales have been
made to the east.
