TR S E R 5 PEAKING before the American Economic as- sociation some time ago, Irving Fisher, president of the association and head of the department of economics at Yale university, calls attention to the fact that economists have become, instead of the observers and compilers of facts, active aids in woiking out the problems of the state, and during the world war aided great- ly in the work, ; - He said in part: " “The proposed league of nations is part and parcel of the great idea of international justice now having its new birth and baptism. Such a league is not only a- political necessity as a preventative of war; it is also an eco- nomic necessity as a preventative of the economic burdens of militarism. “The great question is: Are we, in our internal economics, to serve the nation as a whole or are we to serve a special group within the nation? “There are, I believe, two master systems for the distribution of wealth —the inheritance system and the profit system. T believe it is very bad policy for the living to allow the dead so large and unregulated an influence over us. Even in the eyes of the law narily falsely assumed, to will prop- erty. The disposal of property by will is simply a custom, handed down to us from ancient Rome. ADVERTISERS IN CONTROL OF NEWSPAPER POLICIES “When fortunes are made with pro- digious speed, it is usually wholly or chiefly through profits. Profits are the chance parts of distribution. Prof- its are, next to wages, the most im- portant element of our national in- come. Under the present profit sys- tem, .the chance of profits and the risk of losses as well as the manage- ment are entirely in the hands of one of three classes interested in the suc- cess of the enterprise. The other two classes, the workers and the public, do not ordinarily profit much if at all. We entrust the great public function of conducting our public press to ir- responsible private capitalists, who are largely controlled by their adver- tisers, even more irresponsible. “While government enterprise has glaring defects, the present system of private profits is also defective. It is even very costly to the public in that the enterpriser requires the chance of large profits to compensate for the large risks he assumes. Two unfor- tunate consequences follow: One is that in this great game of chance the lottery winnings- make multi-million- aires out of millionaires, which is in- _ consistent with democratic ideals and democratic progress. = The other is that it creates hostility on the part of the other two classes. The workman, therefore, is overready to strike, shirk or commit sabotage. The local public often cordially hate a great railway like the Pennsylvania system or the Southern Pacific railway. From " such hostility comes the contest for political power and too often corrup- tion. “The government, representing the public, is, with all its faults, 'in a better position than private capital- ADVERTISEMENTS ~ BALE HAY NEW WAY No Blocks—No Bale Ties—2 Men Less ST fjeet e pi i e Mention The Profit System and Its Cure “Yale University Economist Holds Government Better Able ~ to Assume Risks of Industrial Enterprise there is no natural right, as is ordi- . [-ing inevitably lost. = .. ists to underwrite great industrial undertakings, both because its re- sources. are greater and because the chances of gains and losses in differ- ent directions would tend more fully to offset each other. “Our society will always remain an unstable and explosive compound as long as political power is vested in the masses and economic power in the classes. In the end, one of these pow- ers will rule. Either the plutocracy will buy up the democracy or the de- mocracy will vote away the plutoc- racy. In the meantime the corrupt politician will thrive as a concealed broker between the two.” ICELESS COOLER FOR HOGS Put the hogs in the “cooler” dur- ing the hot days—not as punishment, but to keep the heat from reducing daily gains in pork. Home demonstration agents of the United States department of agricul- ture and the state colleges have been demonstrating the iceless refrigerator, and these handy coolers are becoming very popular. The swine extension man in Mississippi, who is working in co-operation with the federal de- partment, is planning to put into practice the same principle used in the iceless refrigerator to keep hogs cool -in summer. The iceless refrigerator is made by inclosing a frame in canton flannel, burlap or duck. A pan of water is placed on top and wicks are extended from the water over the sides of the frame. The evaporation of the mois- ture in the wicks keeps the refrigera- tor cool. In applying this principle in the hog lot a frame will be built to- provide shade for the hogs and large burlap wicks will ‘extend down the sides from containers which are placed on top and are filled with water. It is expected that the evaporation of the water will keep the hogs cool and thus enable them to make more eco- nomical gains during the summer months. COOK IN A COOL KITCHEN These hot days let the kerosene stove and the fireless cooker take the place of the hot coal range. The hot dish for dinner may be started in 15 minutes on the kerosene stove, then put away in the fireless cooker until ready to serve. Cereals, dried leg- umes, fruits, tough cuts of meat and casserole .dishes.are mare palatable and wholesome if cooked for a long time. The fireless cooker offers many ad- vantages.’ 1. 'Hot supper in a cool kitchen. 2. Hot dinner-in the field or at pic- nics. S ; 3.. Use as a refrigerator with a very small amount of ice. * : 4. Use as a bread sponge box. 5.

Dipping chickens is likely to become more gen- eral than dipping cattle, because the chicken louse is a more widely dis- tributed insect than the cattle tick. The “dip” consists of one ounce of sodium fluoride to the gallon of water, which should be at a temperature of 70 to 85 degrees. The dipping should be done on a clear, warm day—never on a cold day. The old way of get- ting rid of chicken lice was by dust- ing with dry sodium fluoride.” It was “effective,” but in the 'case of -large flocks it -was slow and wasteful, a great deal of the dusting material be- PAGE I e S Y P A AT R K S T e a L T Aome 55 results come from Leader Classified Ads. of 8 cents per word is made, ship receipt when claiming the 8-cent rate.
