Queer Arrangement of Petty Business Affairs Found In Big Nation FOOD IS DOMINANT Small Fortunes Are Paid for Necessities, Pound of Honey Costs Much BERLIN. Nov. 8. Soma Am ericans in business in Germany say that the continued deprecia- lion of German and Austrian money threatens to force Amen-1 an branch manufactuilng plants ind distributing houses in the two countries to close or operate at a heavy loss in the hope that conditions shortly will improve. A number of smaller German businesses, principally dependant on importations of raw materials, also are facing a crisis and to avoid bankruptcy, which they ses five or six months distant when the exhaustion of reserve funds and stocks has been completed, arc seeking to - consolidate with larger, ;moro firmly established nstitutions. Orders Not Filled The American manufacturing concerns, dependent on German raw materials, are faced with the peculiar situation of having huge outstanding orders in adjacent countries which they are unable to fill because the Germans in sist on delivering raw material at current prices, more than double in marks the prices at which the material was contracted for, and which would make impossible the filling of outstanding orders at a profit. Insistence by the foreign con cerns on delivery at contracted prices has been without avail, protestations either being ignored or the foreigners being told frankly told that such procedure would almost immediately bank rupt the German firms, in view of the recent depreciation of the mark. Mark's Value Annoys American distributing houses also are embarrassed by the fact that they have large contracts to fill at prices based on 1-previous values of the falling mark. "To make the situation worse, certain German interests, have started a cut-throat competition to secure -and hold the export trade in manufactured articles, which has enormously .increased within the last few months," the representative of an American branch manufacturing plant said. "This competition fails to take in to consideration the fundamental proposition that funds must be who should do your wiring. Our de pendability U your insurance.

IT. A plan for "harvesting of the forests.' as opposed to the 1 present system of denuding the wood tracts of this and other states and that, if it proves ad vantageous, may revolutionize the lumber industry of the coun try, has been put into execution by Henry Ford on a section of land about two miles from Sid - ULOBE TROTTING COWBOY ON ) p ) I TS JVan Cieaf Gulick ot Bentonsport, Iowa, a globe trotting cowboy, who in full regalia travels from one city to another on a tranaconU- SnHi&Hnf mlifS,; WUI write a OQ W xpeHences doling his trip. He has visited manv Ktta nnH k ... . ! Is i ! '! The plan, that is attracting con siderable attention among, lum bermen, has as its basic principle the conservation of Michigan's last dwindling timber .supply. SetxllinRs Protected The section chosen for the ex periment is a part of Mr. Ford's holdings in the upper peninsula. The idea, in brief, is i to remove from this tract only the mature trees. Underbrush and the waste wood left in lumbering operations are to be carefully cleared away to protect the remaining trees against fire. The young trees re maining will be permitted to at tain maturity. In the; meantnme they will seed the ground about them and when they, tn turn are cut. the nert crop will have been started. Thus harvests may be liiade in each of a period of years indefinitely. One feature of the plan is to leave sufficient space between the growing young trees to permit . their rapid develop ment. ! Kvonfs I Warranted Mr. Ford and his associates ad mit that the cost of rearing trees in this way will be gteattr than the present expense of obtaining lumber, but point out that unless conservation r?medies are applied at once the future will see the forests depleted and that the country in the future will pay dearly for its past neglect. E. G. Kingsford, a member of a Ford concern, said ; concerning the venture and its possibilities: ''Mr. Ford is convinced that the public interests demands a fun damental change in treatment of our forest wealth. The inevitable result of the present pystem will be denuding of our -forest lands. As this denuding continues lum ber costs will advance steadily. Finally denudation will be car ried to the point where- the need of remedial measures : will be re alized everywhere. At that time reforestation will be the only hope for the future and this is a slow and expensive process. All Must (o-0cratp "The harvesting of trees is a practical alternative; In our present test we will cut trees with a minimum diameter of 10 to 12 inches. We not only will remove all wastage from the trees felled to guard against fire, fcut will cut away all of the balsams and oth er trees that might ; retard the growth of th? young trees leCt standing. "We realize that the Ford in terests can do little without the co-operation of other lumbering interests. Much educational work must be done before the idea will come into general use. We are seeking to blaze a trail in the effort to convince other lumber men that the idea at least is worthy of study and experiment." j a tragedy or tne Tniddle-aeed is the knowledge that any new ' love they acquire is warmed over.
