Then, on the other hand, the farmer knew that
farm he would pay for at the top retail rate.
The farmers were caught between the mill
stones. They bought high and sold low.
Your neighbors, the farmers, like to consider
themselves Americas foremost indiyidualists.
But, as individuals, they found themselves IN
able to solve the problems common to all of
them. So, the farmers consulted together. They
decided TO enter into a partnership TO build and
operate their own marketing and purchasing
enterprises. They built their cooperstiyes.
They made all these enterprises non-profit Or
CARNATIONS. All the savings made by working
together were TO be returned to them on the
basis of their patronage. And, as true partners,
each had a voice and a vote in all decisions.
Your neighbors, the farmers, like their co-ops.
Their co-ops have helped farmers TO increase
their incomes They have helped farmers to
farm more efficiently. They have helped farm
ers to provide their wives and children with a
few more of the good things of life.
Farmers are your neighbors. They want you to
know about their cooperstiyes. They want you
to understand their problems. They want the
friendship and good will of all OF you.
Next time you go by a farmers coop, stop in
and get acquainted with the manager. He's one
of your town neighbors. Let's pull together.

strikes in parts and accessory plants;
third, the paralysis In the closing
weeks Of the year Of one Of the
large companies by strike.
IF present obstacles are overcome,
efficient production in 1916 can
mean millions of cars for the public,
expanding employment for labor at
good wages, low prices for the con-
sumner and stimulation of the econ
omy of the entire country"
From an employment standpoint
Mr.. Macauley added, zone out OF
seven jobs in the country is directly
or indirectly concerned with the
automobile. 1t is obvious from these
figures that in the centrifuge Of
American activity the automobile Is
a pivotal member"
Mr.. Macauley said the goals OF
high level production, expanding
employment and stimulation of the
Nations economy would not be at
tanned unless the restrictions on
prices are modified and harmonious
labor relations are restored through
out the industry"

rate achieved In 1889. That would
mean rate Of almost 100000 pass
enger units and better than 100, 900
trucks monthly.
Citing estimates of the Civilian
Production Administration, Mr.. Ma
cauley said the coming year should
see $4,000 workers employed in
automotive manufacturing and q
monthly output of $570, 000, 900 in
automotive products attained by
June.
Recalling that preliminary indus
try estimates placed potential pas
senger car production this year at
100000 units, Mr.. Macauley said the
$4,000 cars turned out averaged only
% cars per dealer in the United
States.
Three factors" he said, held
back production: First, shortage of
critical materials such as steel, zinc.
chromium and nickel created to
some extent by restrictions placed
on their use, and with the confused
and confusing regulations on price
control as a corrolary; second,

DETROIT, Jan. 1.-THE Nations
automobile industry, which turned
out S28,970. 000 900 worth of war
goods from the beginning of HOSTILE
ties until shortly after V-J day,
made only $4,000 passenger automo-
bies and $4,000 civilian motor
trucks during 1915.
The figures were given in series
OF statements issued by the Auto
mobile Manufacturers Association.
Alvan Macauley, association presi-
dent, said that if present production
deterrents can be overcome, the car
industry by next June can be pro-
ducing at twice the average monthly

struggled through the war period
with only skeleton stats and will
be hiring and training new en-
ployes. Return of men and women
from the armed forces and the
release of others from war work
at a time when they are needed
badly in wide variety Of private
jobs has been given close attention
by the Washington Board Of Trade
and many other groups.
Return Of scarce or rationed items
to civilian use is expected to add
substantially to retail volume here
In 1946. Ranging from automobiles,
tires and electric appliances to fur
niture, clothing, shoes and toys,
these many items undoubtedly will
boost sales sharply In many lines.
Probably the outstanding feature

provide more adequate housing.
Since VI day this important in
dustry has battled with shortages,
priorities and many other prob
lens. but was making progress
toward their solution at the years
end.
Around 5000 new residential units
were started In the Metropolitan
Area during 1915, despite some
slackening in the pace after vi
day. The total is expected to more
than double in 1916, with more
than half outside the District OF
Columbia.
Prices for existing residential
properties are likely to recede from
high levels TO which they were

driven by frantic buyers seeking a
place to live in 1915. Homes sold
for Is per cent to rs per cent above
their original cost of few years
ago. Serving as brake on any
price decline, however. will be the
wartime rise in the cost of mate
rails and labor.
Decentralization Spurred.
The trek Of large downtown stores
to the suburbs received a further
impetus late In 1945 when Wood
ward g. Lothrop announced plans
for a large branch on Wisconsin
avenue at the District line and
Hecht Co. announced q $4,000 900

Despite cuts in war activities and

buying power will remain at high
levels and may show an increase
over the last year. A Government

Stores of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Julius Garfinckel & Co. and other
large retail organizations who en-
tered the suburban field earlier
have handled large volumes through
out the war period.
The trend was well defined be-
fore the war as families began to
move into the large new residential
sections OF nearby Maryland and
Virginia. Downtown was too far
away for many potential customers.

With Halloween coming along
soon, it may be well to say some
thing about that occasion. In late
years Halloween has been less popu-
lar with me than during MY boy
hood, but it is a feast of a sort,
and keeps coming along year after
year.
Halloween might be a very happy
time if all children followed one
simple rule. The rule is this:
"In whatever way you celebrate
the day. be sure that you never
do anything which will hurt the
feelings of people, or damage their
property"
A few years ago a group Of teen
age boys went through village
and hurled stones at house win
dows, breaking several of them.
That is a case which I happened
to learn about. Probably the same
thing, or worse, took place in vari-
Gus other places on the same eve
ming.
When boys go out to have such
amusement" it shows that some
thing is wrong with them. Perhaps
their home training has been poor,
or the trouble may be somewhere
else. In any case they prove that
they need better teaching if they
are to turn into worthwhile citi-
ZenS.
There are ways to have whole
some enjoyment on Halloween.
Most children want that kind of
enjoyment. I believe that the young
readers of this column know good
ways to celebrate Halloween, and
I hope they always will keep in
mind the rule I have given.

COMMON IGUANA.
LIguand iquandj
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
In Central America and Mexico
as well as in tropical South America
and the West Indies, the common
iguana is quite abundant, reaching
a length OF 6 feet. In color it Is
a pale greenish gray. marked on
the sides with bold black bars and
on the tail with broad black rings.
The females are usually darker and
broWnish: the young of both sexes
display large amount of bright
green.
This species is mostly herbivo-ous.
though not strictly so. In cap
tivity they thrive on lettuce, clover.
celery, bananas and berries. But
they are very fond of voting birds,
worms, insect larvae and such meat,
when opportunity presents them.
and being agile creatures they often
make nigh jumps for q plump flyer
as insects are rather abundant In
their territory.
AL iguanas have the strange habit
Of nodding their heads. They are
quite curious about everything 60
