Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 10.-Farm relief
Is serious business, but not all meet
ings of the new Farm Board should be
serious. For through the appointment
OF William F. Schilling Of Northf1eld
MINI, president of the Twin City Mix
Producers Association, the board Will
possess at least one humorist.
Mr.. Schilling, who lives on large
dairy farm a few miles from the beau
tiful college city of Northfield, has III
addition to his dairy work been writing
years for the Northfield News, under
the name of "TergiveroS Tim"
There he is an institution. The funny
side of life has always appealed to him.
Once he was hurt in an automobile
accident and sent to the hospital
Here's the way he put it: "A NOV
ing van picked me up, rolled me in
horse blanket and backed up to the
rear door of the hospital.
1.-The only real joy upon entering
a hospital is picking a nurse and the
only improvement made in hospital beds
during the last 500 years is to grad
ually raise them SO high from the floor
that patient must use stepladder
to get in and out of them. Small
nurses get their daily exercises by
Ginning themselves on them"
should not be dull and uninteresting
with Mr. Schilling about
Seriously, though, as one OF the or
Eanizers of the Twin City MIX Pro-
ducerS' Association he has been lead
err i'll making tins Organization one of
the most efficient cooperative move"
ments In the Nation
'Ninety-five per cent of all the dairy
farmers living within 40 miles OF the
Twin Cities (St. Minneapolis are
in our association" he said to me. II
have studied the cooperative movement
in Denmark and ireland, and it Is my
conviction that we are 10 years ahead
of any other dairy cooperative move
ment in the world" The prosperous
looking dairy farms about the Twin
Cities show it,
MIR. Schilling sees no future in the in
Gividual farm movement as such. but in
the joining of the farmers in an effec-
tive efficient business cooperative he
sees much.
How do you like the new money, out
today?
The new bills. about two-thirds the
size of the old, mark a distinct depar-
ture in the history of United States
money
1t is the first time in 66 years that
changed.
Only our grandfathers remember the
motley variety of Shin-plaSter, stump
tail. red-dog currency every State bank
used to issue Not since the Civil War
DAYS. when the Government substituted
the greenbacks, have our dollar bills va
ried as much as a fraction of an inch.
What is the idea in changing the size
today?
The smaller size will save the Govern
ment 81 500 600 a year. Each note re-
ouires less paper and ink, and besides,
thev will last longer. They are sized"
so they won't have to be folded SO
much.
They can be more easily identified.
Get acquainted with the portraits on
each denomination. You can't go wrong:
On dollar bills, George Washington; two
dollar bills, Thomas Jefferson; hveS.
Lincoln. tens. Hamilton; tWenties. An
drew jackson; fifties, U. S. Grant. AS
for the higher denominations, why
worry? Most of us never see 'em any
howl
Go to YOUR bank. Turn in your old
bills and get the new. The old ones Will
be bundled up by the bank ana SEM

Who is Stuart Chase, whose business
writings in recent years have COM
manded such wide attention?
Mr.. Chase was born in SomerWorth,
N. H.. Al years ago. After graduation
from high school he became student
at the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology. He transferred to Harvard,
specialized in accounting and economies,
became one of Prof. w. 2. Ripley's
bright" boys, and was graduated cum
laude" from Harvard in 1910.
For the next few years he was a
partner in a firm of public accountants,
with headquarters in Boston. But COM
mercial work as such did not appeal
to him. So he resigned and became
a special investigator for the Federal
Trade Commission, centering his studies
on the meat industry. During this time
he had occasion to study the wastes and
jnef6ciencies of the industry. In 1922
he resigned from the Federal Trade
Commission and became an eZn1Gt ad-
wiser with the Labor Bureau, Inc, OF
New York.
Since that time Mr.. Chase has pub
lished several we'll known books includ-
ing THE Tragedy of Waste" and Your
Moneys Worth" both of which COM
nanded national attention.
MIR. Chase is product of the new
school of economic thinking. He Is
