 This assertion, together with a statement that some Of the inde- pcndents are more dangerous to American economic security than ''all the communists combined" in their attitude tward the pending tar iff bill. was included in an open let ter addressed by the Pennsylvanian to r. E. Murphy, the publisher Of the Minneapolis Tribune.
 Plays Present Senators
 In addition, Reed suggested that the west send to Washington sena- tors who will regard the agricultural problem 'as Americans and not as factionalists, sectionalists and popu- lists.'
 Publication of the letter drew an immediate reply from Senator Schall, republican, Minnesota, a member of the independent group. He asserted that he and n's collea gues were en- deavCr;ng 70 Eft agriculture to 'nr level of industry, that the special session was called for that purpose and not "as Senator Reed cvide.Itly thinks, to further aggrandiZe inGuS- try"

 Fur Seal Herd Protected The fur seal herd now numbers almost 100000 individuals and is. by far, the largest fur seal herd | in the world. In 1910 when the in | ternational agreement by the United States, England and Japan stopped pelagic sealing (killing in the wa ter) the fur seal herd, reduced to 15o,o0o, faced extinction.
 Under protection the fur seal population has shown larger and larger increases. This year agents counted more than 100000 more members Of the herd than last year in spite of the fact that the islands sent out more skins than in any year since 1SS9
 "The 40,o skins are expected to bring more than si,500.00O at auction
 Within the last II years the fur seal fishery has paid into the treas- ury of the United States S2,6OO,000. This represents the profits after all expenditures for maintaining colony of 325 natives and 17 whites on the island, building permanent houses for them, and constructing roads to the rooller!es; after paying all charges for dyeing and curing the skins, and after disbursine to the nj 10 .f or, ( D rfn tN b. int agreement a per cent of the profits.

 He added that he disapproved of the export debenture plan attached to that tariff bill by the independ- ents and their allies, the democrats, but considered the farm board, wa terway improvement, better farms and more efficient farming methods as good. and the disposition of the farmer to help himself" best of all.
 Asking how it was possible to make agriculture prosperous by i'm poverishing industry, he asserted that such was a certain result if the independents and the democrats go through with their present tariff p1Ogram

TURBINE TO BE BIGGEST.

It is announced that a single gen.
orator, the largest in the world, is to
be installed in the Ford motor works.
It's capacity is 10000 horsepower. De-
scribing this great generator, Electrical
News Item says: The power generated
by the new turbine will be used in the
manufacture of Ford automobiles, and
it is interesting to compare it with the
Ford car. Its output exceeds that OF
5000 Ford engines. It's weight is equiva-
lent to approximately 855 Ford sedans
yet the floor space which it occupies
would provide parking space for only
II Ford cars. 1t requires 600,000,000
gallons of cooling water every "a hours
and only Einstein could figure out how
many Fords 1t would take to use up
that much water in a day."

THEORY OF MERGERS
 CAREFULLY STUDIED

NEW YORK, May 29.-Speeding of communications and transporta- tion, says the industrial economist Dwight Farnham, is an important factor in stimulating the present tendency toward great industrial and financial mergers.
 In an analysis of the present large scale consolidation era, sub mitted to the recent convention of the American Management associa- tion, MT Farnham lists seven prin- cipal forces behind the movement l. The overbuilt condition of in- dustry after the war.
 2. The development during the war of mass production, which re- suited in the general introduction of scientific methods in admins tration, finance, sales and produc- tion.
 3. The increased cost of equip ment required for mass production
 4. Improvements Tn tee n n lc practice.
 5. New inventions resulting from research.
 6. The high cost of distribution caused by attempts to dispose of the increased output resulting from na- tional advertising, high pressure sales methods, national distribution and direct contact with retailers
 T. Application of mass methods to purchasing and retail distribu- ton through the medium of chair stores. This movement was fur ther assisted by the trend of popu- lation toward the cities by the de- velopment and popularization oi the automobile and by the growth of hard surfaced highways.
