Sage and Soil
BY Mrs. Paul SCHILLER

Just the week past, the little
one was eleven.
1t has been eleven years of
heavenly associations, from the
very first he has been the
height of independence.
From the time he looked like
anything he has been a perfect
replica of the head of the fam
lily.
Each year we spend together
gives me more of a stronghold
on little boy" human nature.
The day wasn't one of a par
ty, just some of the things
he especially liked"
Now to carry him through the
precarious teen age. But some
how I feel he'll paddle his own
canoe.
It has been a nice week all
in all. A good friend of the
family has made a fine recov-
cry from a serious operation.
To say we are happy is putting
it mildly.
And the rains came" right
on top of the snow
If you don't think we are
enjoying the muddy lanes come
out and see us sometime.
Tux, the cat, met his Water
loo down at the muskrat lodge,
He came in with one ear hang
ing over his eye, his paw
chewed into a grand mush.
He has enjoyed being nursed
and is waxing fat as he lies
by the fire.
All the magazines tell us its
time to get our vegetable seeds
planted. If they knew how my
fingers itch to work in the dirt
I'm the poorest gardener in
Montana but have the most fun.

nal, 1.-The coming of March has
brought few encouraging signs
There is as yet no evidence of a
strong upward trend in new busi-
ness, but the moderate improve
ment noted week ago has contin-
ued, thereby raising hopes that the
recession of the last two or three
months has been checked.
The rate for the industry this week
is 63ha per cent of capacity, de-
cline of point and a half.
Some mills are still operating at
rates higher than the volume of
incoming business, the difference
being accounted for by what re-
mains of the heavy backlogs built
up last fall. AS these are rapidly
disappearing the mills will soon be
obliged to subsist on new business,
which must expand considerably
during this month and next if the
industry is not to drop below so per
cent, which has been generally
considered as probable bottom
for the near term.
The automobile industry con-
tinues to lead the way in domestic
activity. Following a February out
put which was a record for that
month since 1929, the industry is
planning an output of about 440,0 900

Boost in IntercoastaI
Ship Rates Sought
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 7.-Owners of
about 100 American steamships en-
gagged In Atlantic-Pacific coastal
shipping-the largest segment of
the United States merchant ma
rine-applied today to the Maritime
Commission for the right to raise
freight charges to 20 per cent.
The boost, voted by the Inter-
coastal Steamship Freight Associa-
ton, will become effective May / if
the commission approves. Only the
rates for carrying grain and lum-
ber would be unaffected by the
rise. although it was understood the
carriers were debating the advisa-
bility of asking higher rates on lum-
ber.
Chief reason for the boost is the
present shortage of ships in the
coast-to-coast trade, it being esti-
mated in shipping circles that about
IS have been Withdrawn for use in
the transatlantic runs, made more
profitable by the European war.
The main ports of call for the in
tercoastal vessels are New York and

Floyd 0dIum Review,
Sharp Increase in
Atlas Corp. Assets
Gain Of More Thon
$50 Per Cent in Ten
Years Cited
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 7.LFloyd
Bostwick Odlum, a sandy-haired
young man from the West, matched
wits and courage with hardened
Wall Street dollar chasers in the de-
preston years and came out of the
race with the biggest investment
trust in the country.
Yesterday, as president of the
Atlas Corp, he informed share
holders in his annual report the
asset value of the huge investment
company's common stock had in
creased by more than $50 per cent
In the last decade, rising from $5.06
share at the end Of 1929 to $3.50
at the close of 1899.
Over the same period, he re-
minded stockholders, the share
market generally lost 40 per cent
Of its quoted values.
The erstwhile westerner who made
a Wall Street name for himself in
the grim years when many a finan-
cier went down to ruin attributed
the "outstanding sresults" to the
company's policy of investing in
special situations and of otherwise
departing from the routine standard
paths in the investment of funds"
Other Firms Picked Up.
Digging among the ruins of Wall
Streets 1929 collapse in pursuit OF
this policy, Odlum picked up more
than a score of other investment
companies, poked into the reorgani-
cation of bankrupt corporations and
became a big-time trader in utility
properties, department stores and
odds and ends acquired from abb
sorbed investment trusts.
He ran Atlas up from an obscure
$4,000, 900 trust to q SIPS, 900 900
giant.
The preachers son who worked
his way through college in Colo
, RADIO, went east to become lawyer
for the Electric Bond & Share Co.,
had made his Wall Street repu-
tation largely as a dealer in in
vestment trusts spawned in the
late 2Os.
The friend and associate of many
Wall Streeters who have been crit
ical of the New Deal, Odlum kept
on good terms with Washington
contributed to the campaign funds
of President Roosevelt's party.
Stresses Cooperation.
In his 1899 report he said:
Your organization has followed
what 1t believes to be the only
sound policy, viz: Endeavoring to
work comparatively and realistically
at all times with all governing
public authorities"
The asset value of Atlas common
stock increased in 1899 from s12.44
to the year-end figure of $l2.8O, the
report stated.
Odlum explained the company's
policy had been aimed primarily
at improving the asset value of the
common stock, placing secondary
emphasis on income from security
holdings.

In the face of many elements
which IF not offset would have in
creased production costs, Johns
Manville made no substantial in
creases in 1899 in the selling prices
of its products" Mr.. Brown reports.
Our company has made every ef-
fort to offset mounting costs by pro-
ducing and Selling goods with ever
increasing efficiency"
Mr.. Browns report shows that
