Recalling the Rise
Of American FORMING

NOTHING is more epic in Amer
y lean history than the con-
quest of the west and the rise of
the great plains farmer. A few
years after the Civil War the
country between the Mississippi
and the Rockies was unbroken will
derness. save for a few mining
camps, military and trading posts.
BY the turn of the century thi.
same country had become the ag-
ricultural heart of America.
The great rush TO the frontier
began with the passage OF the
Homestead law in 1862, but the
Civil War and the Indians held
back settlement. BY 1876, how
ever. the Indians were practically
conquered for all time, so that
homesteaders moved in TO pillow
where the ground was still hard
packed by buffalo herds. There
after il was only a matter Of time
until the lions share of the ma
TONS wheat was being produced
on the last frontier.
But all this came only with Bit
ter struggle, for the farmer bat
tied billiards and drouth and
grssshopperS and money panic. At
the same time he battled the big
cattlemen who haa driven their
herds into the great plains even
before the farmer. The cattlemen
wanted unlimited range; the
farmer wanted fences. Not until
1890 did the farmer finally win.
But today, ironically enough, there
is talk that in many sections the
cattlemen might have done better
for the west than the farmer.
In any event. farming was In
its heyday around 1900. A west

When the plane faded from

altitude for a landing, Ellen and

and then he led the way to the
mine shaft.

His first act was to shut off
the gasoline motor which ran the
generator for electrical power.

hand. She turned it off, but the
darkness was so oppressive she
hastily pushed the contact button

The objects in the room took

light, frightening, grotesque shapes
but it was better than the pitch
darkness. Much better.
She strained her ears for some
sound. but a steady drip of water
deep down in the mine shaft some
place back of her, was the only
thing she could hear.

ElectrificatiOn in
Rural Ohio Doubles
Under Coop Plan

COLUMBUS.-(FP)-The number of
farms in Ohio with electric light and
power has more than doubled since
the Ohio Farm Bureau co-operatives
began their program of cooperative
electrification in 1885.
In 1885, $4,000 farms, or 1879 of
those in the state, were using central
station electric service. Today more
than 10000 have electric light and
power. These represent 419o of the
farms and an increase of 128.9% over
the number five years ago.
Co-operatives, with the assistance
of the Rural Electrification Admins
tration, has energized 1900 miles of
line in the state and 1000 additional
miles are under construction. The COM
pleted program will bring service to
$4,000 farmers; of these $4,000 are
already using the service.
The activity of the co-operatives in
this field has stimulated building ac-
tivities by private profit power COM
panies which for many years were
loath to provide power to rural areas
except where large profits were pos
sible. Prior to 1885, profit companies
would supply power to farms only on
a guarantee of minimum charge of

minimum is only $3.50.

Investors Union
Organized to
Buyers

NEW YORK.-(FP)-Fir issue OF
a new magazine, Your Investments, is
on sale by the American Investors
Union Inc, an organization formed to
do for stock and bond buyers what
Consumers Union does for ordinary
consumers. A monthly publication, the
64-page magazine sells for SOC a copy
or $500 year.
Bernard ]. Refs, certified public ac-
countant and treasurer of Consumers
Union, is executive director of Ameri-
can Investors Union, a non-profit
organization. The board of directors
include DR.. John Bauer, Prof. Robert
A. Brady, John T. Flynn, Paul ]. Kern,
DR.. Robert Lynd, George Seldes, Rob-
ert X. Straus and Prof. Colston E.

A statement of policy points out
that many American investors have
been inclined to blame their stock
market losses solely on the depression.
"But examination of the securities you
purchased, and the shoddy savings
plans you entered, discloses that you
were destined to encounter loss in
any event." the announcement warns.
1.-THE seeming return of prosperity
is again providing breeding ground
for attractive but dangerous schemes
which will undoubtedly take the same
toll of the public's savings. Thousands
of investments being made today will
disappear into thin ajr-even before
the next depression strikes"
One aim of the new organization is
to fight questionable or fraudulent
practices of corporations which dis
sipate stockholders money. An article
on the American Tobacco Co. notes
that in years 1929-1931 inclusive the
company president received bonuses
ranging from $461,113 to $S91,630, in
addition to salary.
Although the magazine bears a
union label, the announcement of poll
cy makes no reference to A. |. US
attitude toward organized labor. A
spokesman for the organization said
that it will oppose anti-labor policies
that are ruinous to stockholders.
