Sells the Champion Cream Saver
THE NEW DE LAVAL
HE worth of a separator depends very largely upon its bowl.
A separator bowl must be scientifically designed, properly
constructed and perfectly balanced or it will not only lose
some cream to begin with, but will soon get out of balance and
lose a great deal more cream, besides wearing out the bearings
and gears in a short time. That is why the average life of a
cheap separator is only two or three years.
The bowl of the NEW De Laval
is self-centering
The new De Laval bowl is so constructed and so balanced upon
its detached spindle that it will run true and do perfect work even
after the machine has been in use for a long time.
The De Laval bowl has always been noted for its close skim-
ming under all conditions, but the new :
De Laval patented milk-distributing de-
vice, together with the larger discs,
makes the new De Laval bowl an even
closer skimmer than the old one and
gives considerably greater capacity into
the bargain. :
The new De Laval bowl has been call-
ed by people who ought to know, “the
greatest improvement in cream separator
construction in the last thirty years.”
Come in and see one of the new ma-
chines. We'll be glad to explain it to
you in all its details, and we know you
will be interested in examining the new Crosssection of new bowl,

INDUSTRIAL REFORM
NECESSITY FOR WAR
ROGER W. BABSON GIVES VEWS
ON SITUATION TO POOR RICH-
ARD CLUB,
Phila., Dec. 29.—Industrial reform
as an essential to winning the war
was disdussed before the Poor Rich-
ard Club yesterday by Roger W. Bab-
son, of Wellesley Hills, Mass. He pre-
dicted the ultimate defeat of Ger-
many and a period of unprecedented
prosperity when the war is ended.
‘“The Allied cause is held up today
by the struggle between labor and
capital,” said Mr. Babson. ‘This
struggle has cracked Russia; is
cracking Italy; and is liable to crack
England. Only one word can save the
Allied cause today and that word is
co-operation.
“It wil] take the United States two
years to equip a million men. When
England entered the war she had
12,000 field guns. -We today have
700. Only by real co-operation be-
tween labor and capital can we make
and tramsport enough supplies to do
our part.
“Next to misinformed agitators,
the German submarine is still the
great menace. The Government at
Washington is doing its best; but the
struggle between labor and capital is
tying the Government’s hands.
“If the Allied countries can stand
off internal revolution long enough,
then there will be an Allied victory.
Ultimately the Germans mast lose be-
cause they are in the wrong. Wheth-
er it will be now or later depends
on labor and capital.
‘Therefore the situation today of-
fers only two alternatives, industrial
reformation or industrial revolution.
If revolution comes, there is mo tell-
ing where it will stop. But if revo-
lution is to be avoided, labor and
capita] must quickly join forces and
co-operate. With 90 per cent of the
votes, the masses can confiscate
property at any time. Woe to capi-
tal if they ever do it! With 90 peg
cent of the enterprise, originality and
courage, the capitalistic class “would
finally come ou; on top; but the
harm would then have been done.
Hence the need of immediate: co-
operation,” . ¢ :

IS PLAN ADVOCATED BY FUEL
ADMINISTRATOR TO MEET NA-
ION’S NEEDS.
(By John Edwin Nevin. )
‘Washington, Dec. 31.—A concerted
demand that the government take
over the nation’s coal mines was
manifest throughout the country to-
day. Private ownership and man-
agement has failed, according to
those advocating this drastic meas-
ure. It wag certain that the demand
for a new fuel dea] will manifest it-
self in congress as soon as it recon-
venes. Many members already here
are a unit in advocating the plan.
They point out that the fuel sfitua- |
tion is so closely entwined with the
railroads that taking over one and
leaving the other to the tender mer-
cies of private control is at least in-
consistent.
Only Chance For Relief.
Dr. Harry A. Garfield, the fuel ad-
mimistrator, is the leading advocate
of government control. He has taken
the position that complete relief from
the ruel shortage existing everywhere
in the country cannot be expected
uniess the government is in a posi-
tion to do as it pleases with all of
the fuel within fits boundaries. Dr.
Garfield has explained to the Presi-
dent that a great deal of the present
shortage has been due to the use of
antiquated methods of production
and distribution. He has prepared
statistics which he insists conclusive-
ly prove his contention and has laid
them before the President.
Up to the present time the Presi-
dent has not taken a positive stand
on the coal question. It is known,
however, that he retains an open
mind on the question of government
control and operation. There was a
general feeling in official circles to-
day that eventually he will favor tak-
ing the mines over. It is expected
as soon as he completes his address
to congress on ‘the railway situation,
which ig to be delivered the latter
par: of this week, thay he will im-
mediately turn his complete atten-
. {tion to the coa] situation.

576 pale and suffering children
between the ages of seven and

from Austria. * * * The
children had not tasted milk for
months. They had received bad
bread in insufficient amounts.
The publishers of American capi-

this news, presumably to impress the
Amerfican' hind" with the
brutality and the economic éxhaus-
tion of our most recent ‘‘enemy.”
Some papers even betrayed a malic-
ious satisfaction in commenting on
the tragedy. Austria, which, diplo-

conflagration, has been ay war over
three years. Deprivation and suffer-
ing are to be expected, and to be de-
plored by ‘all humanitarians who
want this inexcusable slaughter of
the innocent to stop speedily.
The United States has been in the

plight, boast of the “richest and

should be no deprivation here. But
