This wasn’t the way he wanted to come home. But they had invited trouble. They shouldn't have left him alone when they changed trains at Chicago. They had told him to hide in the shadows to avoid the crowd. It was easy then to jump back on the westbound train as it pulled out.

Ted's in “Farewell Aadress Washington prepared the Hust draft of his Farewell Address, to which James Madison is said to have contributed some suggestions, and then it was turned over to Alex- ander Hamilton for revision. Ham- ilton added what he described as “such reflections and sentiments as will wear well, progress in appro- bation with time, and redound to future reputation.” The address, containing Washington's refusal to run for a third term as president, and dated September 17, 1796, was not delivered in person but pub- lished two days later in Dunlap and Claypoole’s Daily Advertiser. ; Death Sign Some member of thé royal fam- ily of Hawaii has died, in the past century, within 24 hours after the coastal waters of the islands sud- denly have become filled with mil- lions of small, red ‘death fishes.” As a result, the belief that their in- explicable visits presaged such deaths grew so strong that, when they reappeared in November, 1917, preparations for the funeral of ex- Queen Liliuokalani were started in Honolulu several hours before she passed away. Photographs of Mars Much valuable work has been done with the great Lick refractor in planetary observations. At the last close approach of Mars 32 draw- ings of the planet and about 1,500 photographs were obtained, many of these with the aid of specially dyed plates. These are of great value in interpreting the nature of the changes that are continually taking place on the surface of the planet.

Sweet Potato Nutritious Sweet potatoes supply energy to live and work.

Peak Employment Employment in the chemical in. dustry reached a peak in Decem- ber, 1943, with a total of 123,300 employees, a 77.2 per cent increase over 1939. Peak employment for chemical and allied products was 745,000 in July, 1943, a 166 per cent increase over 1939.

Like the idea that a square jaw is the sign of will power. That winters aren’t as severe as they used to be, or that red hair denotes quick temper. 2 But there are other wrong ideas, which are definitely harmful to | public confidence in and understanding of industry. One such about profits made by large busi- ’ idea is the current “‘guessing’ ness organizations. ST Many people are apt to grossly exaggerate the money made b, business.

Less than one sixth of what the general public “‘guessed” for all industry.

But re- cent developments have forced a change in our plans. Wages and materials consume nearly all of every dollar Har- vester takes in from sales. A Gov- ernment board has recommended and the Company has agreed to pay a general wage increase of 18 cents per hour for Harvester fac- tory employees. The Government has also allowed price increases on raw materials which we pur- chaggin large quantities. Steel he d an average increase of by 70+ There has been no general in- crease in our prices since they were frozen by the Government early in 1942, So our situation today is that what we BUY costs us 1946 prices. We will be paying average hourly wages 56%, above 1941. For what we SELL we get only 1942 prices. This condition cannot long be met out of our present low rate of profit. : Future Prices on | H Products ' It is plain that price relief will be needed to meet the increased wage and material costs which we must carry. We regret this necessity. We prefer to lower prices, when pos- sible, rather than raise them and we know our customers prefer to have us do that. We had hoped to be able to the line,” at least. But we do not see how we can avoid operating at a loss if our prices continue to remain at their present frozen levels. We will NOT “cut corners” on any of our products, because QUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR BUSINESS. Our customers can be certain that we will seek no more than a moderate profit, both because of our policies and because we have approximately 300 competitors fighting us vigorously for your business. Our request for price relief will be no more than is nec- essary to insure continued service to our customers, continued work for our employees, and a reason- able return for our s*ackholders .
