FOOD
Long Island ships dressed ducks
to California. California sends tur
keys to New York. Florida ships
trainloads of celery to the North
and Jacksonville stores sell Califor
nia celery. New Jersey raises straw
berries, onions, cabbages, but Jer
sey suburban housewives buy them
from grocers who in turn buy them
from New York City wholesalers.
The Federal Farm Board should
find ways to eliminate these round
about methods of food distribution,
with their expensive fright charges
and profits to half a dozen middle
men. The food supplies of big cities
will some day be grown in regions
adjacent to the cities. It will be
cheaper to grow winter vegetables
under quartz glass in electrically
heated hathouses than to haul them
across a continent.
BUILDING
The last stand of the hand-worker
against the machine is in the build
ing trades. Building costs are ex
cessive all over the country and are
still mounting. Wages go up with
out corresponding increase in pro
ductiveness. In the mechanized in
dustries higher wages reflect hgiher
production.
It is perfectly possible to erect
houses of any size out of standard
ized, machine-produced elements,
which any unskilled workman can
put together under competent direc
tion. Plastering is unnecessary;
many wallboards on the market are
better and more economical. Paint
ing can be done more etllciently and
cheaper by spraying.
Some day some group of capital
ists will finance a building project
which will utilize engineering skill
and mechanical processs as the
automobile industry does. Then
homes will be so cheap that every
family can own one exactly fitted
to its needs.
MARCONI
Thirty years ago a young man
with an inquiring mind succeeded
in sending a signal across the At
lantic without wires. That was the
beginning of radio. Everybody
knows some of the things that radio
has accomplished since then, but
there is more to come.
Marconi looks for the transmis
sion of power by radio, before very
long. Television seeing at a dis
tanceis just around the corner, al
ready here in the laboratory. A
photograph sent across the ocean
by radio enabled the London police
to catch an American crook the
other day. Short radio waves raise
the body temperature, so that we
may yet keep warm in winter by
having radio terminals on opposite
sides of each room.
LAND
Chicago is building a new sky
scraper on land which was bought
for $5,000,000 an acre. One family
owned this land for ninety-two
years. It cost that family $2.50 an
acre in 1827. The present value is
just two million times that, which is
not a bad profit, even if one's heirs
have to wait a hundred years for it.
More fortunes have been made in
America by buying land and hang
ing on to it than in any other way.
The biggest gains are in the biggest
cities, but who knows where popu
lation will center a century hence?
Except for occasional speculative
land booms nobody has ever lost
money by buying land anywhere in
the United States, if he held it long
enough.
Somebody, some day,' will write a
history of the United States In
terms of real estate. This country
was settled by landless men who
wanted to own a piece of ground
and couldn't do that in Europe.
THINKING
If you want to get your pay
raised, think. A big automobile fac
tory needed more space. A young
engineer climbed a girder and look
ed over the machinery floor. He
thought for half an hour, then
ahnwed his boss how overhead car
riers could displace the trucks
which carried narts to and from the
machines. The space saved in aisles
ntul nassacrewavs provided room
fnr iiilditinnal machines, to house
which the company had contemplat
ed spending a quarter 01 a minion.
Th anlnrv raise the voung engineer
got represented interest on a fifth

The world navs more for Ideas
than for anything else. They must
hn sound, constructive ideas, the
product of real thinking. Every
step the world takes in advance Is
the result of somebody's thinking.
Perpetual Motion
Some day, go into the Patent Of
fice In Washington and look at the
applications that have been made
for patents on perpetual-motion ma
chines. You will see some very ingenious
devices.
For instance, a machine to be
run by the power of gravity iron
balls dropping down a chute and
turning a wheel.
The inventor of that machine pro
vided for everything. He even add
ed a brake to stop the machine, in
case it should run so fast as to be
come unmanageable.
He forgot only one thing that it
requires just as much energy to lift
the balls up against gravity as they
develop by falling down.
In England, between 1617 and 1903
more than six hundred separate ap
plications for patents were made on
perpetual motion machines.
They stand this unending pro
cessionas a magnificent monu
ment to the unchangeablesness of
human nature.
A to'stimnny to man's unquench
able belief that somehow, some
where, it is possible in this world to
get something for nothing.
Every man who goes downtown
to business in the morning should
pass a perpetual-motion machine
and be reminded of its lesson.
There is one great law that runs
through all life. Many men have
discovered it; Emerson named it
the Law of Compensation.
Everywhere that law is operative.
In physics, action and reaction are
equal. In electricity, if the north
end of a magnet attracts, the south
end repels.
When I started in business I used
to be somewhat worried by the good
fortune of the wicked. I saw men
who worked one half as hard as I
and were paid twice as much mon
ey. I saw other men lift themselves
into the good graces of the boss on
the golden wings of golf and funny
stories.
But I have seen the Law of Com
pensation get in too much deadly
work ever to concern myself any
more about anybody else's success.
I have seen good fellows who
thought they were perfectly secure
because they called the boss by his
first name, be fired by the same
bass, who called them by their first
name when he did it.
And I have seen men grow very
rich and I know there are many
ways in which the Law of Compen
sation can work when a man has
the ambition to become very rich.
It can make him pay in health.
It can turn his home into a counting-room.
It can make his children
snobs and hypocrites. It can des
troy his joy in simple things.
Another gentleman discovered the
Law of Compensation even before
Emerson. He stated it in this form:
Be not deceived; God is not mock
ed: for whatsiM-ver a man soweth,
that shall he almt reap.

New Clover Seed Sent
To Oregon From Ohio
Sixty tons of clover seed from
lorg established winter-hardy
strains are on their way to Oregon
from Fostoria, Ohio, where George
R. Hyslop, chief in farm crops at
Oregon State college, selected it as
most suitable for Oregon conditions.
The seed is being shipped to the
Portland Seed company, the C. C.
Bunting seed company of Forest
Grove, and the Jenks-White seed
company of Salem. These seed
firms have agreed to distribute it
at cost to farmers and other dealers
in the state.
The college extension service will
establish a system of field certifica
tion with inspections before seeding
and before harvest in a state-wide
program to put Oregon's clover seed
industry on a more satisfactory basis.
Sydney surprised his teacher as
he was about to go home.
"What have I learned to-day,
teacher?" he asked.
"What a curious question!" the
teacher replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Well," said Sydney, ('they'll want
to know at home."
The Posimaiter of the h ttlp tnurn
of Santa Claut, Indiana, was almost
mowed tinder af Christmas with let
ters sent in f rom all over the country
to ike mailed to children withthe
Santa Clam postmark.
