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. They would be after him
pretty soon, but in the meantime—

“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. Like most of the
other vegetables, they furnish min.
eral salts, vitamins and bulk, and
have the advantage of yielding an
alkaline product ir the body, which
helps to counteract the effect of
acid products produced by such
foods as cereals, meat and eggs.
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.

believed to be the earliest type of

Extinct Nobility
An unprecedented compact was
drawn up and signed by all mem-
bers of the large aristocracy of
Ragusa, now Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia
When it was annexed to Austria in
1814 and lost its status as a sov-
ereign state. Consequently, these
proud people were so humiliated
that they entered into an agreement
to die out by not having children.
Therefore, their sons remained
single, their daughters entered con-
vents, and eventually the entire
Ragusan nobility, with the exception :
of two families, achieved extinction.
State Highway Aid
New Jersey was the first state to
take a definite step in the matter of
state co-operation in building roads, |
and w'th the passage of a state-aid |
law in tial state in 1891, a new era
in road building was begun. The |

first vested in the president of the |

commissioner of highways was
passed. |

SoMETIMES, although an idea is wrong, it does no harm. 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. So Opinion Research Corporation (an independ
organization) made a survey to 1
about profits. Compare these g

When the War ended and we

1942, regardless of war-time in-
creases in costs of wages and ma-

terials up to that time. 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

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 .
