§R THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1925 Ice and Building Material North First Street FRANK SILJESTROM THE demand for additional teleâ€" phones.continues unâ€", abated. This means that we must keep adding to our plant at present day costs,. which are greatly in excess of those of ten years ago, thus conâ€" stantly increasing our average investâ€" ment per telephone. Unless the revenues \derived from: our business keep pace with this condition, we cannot hope to meet the demands for expansion and mainâ€" tain the quality ofour service to the public.

Stewart, ~director of agricultural economics, University of Tilinois, in an address before the anâ€" nual farmers‘ week. _ > 19. £ Emphasize. Economy | The best way to be assured that the coming year will reward farmeys "i; to continue to emphasize economy production and sanity in marketing," he asserted, and added that "by no means should the throttle be opened wide for heavy increases in prw- tlon, except as weather may 11 yields." Full use of present price advantages in cutting down debts and strengthâ€" ening one‘s position as a bank cusâ€" tomer is a sound policy for Illinois farmers to follow during 1925, he recommended. ; Past Performanctes No Criterion : > "One of the poorest ways to foreâ€" cast future rglrim is to judge by prices that ruled for the last shipâ€" ment of live stock or the last crop," Dr. Stewart continued: "Only a part of the causes resulting in the price situation ofâ€" 1924 will continue to operate in the corresponding portion of 1925, unless the weather in the northern hemisphere repeats its 1924 record of general unfavorableness. Vulnerable Spot | "‘The most vulnerable spot in the price structure at the present time is the disadvantage at which manufacâ€" turers in the United States may find: themselves in the export mu’kcu after the first effects of the reparaâ€" tions plan shall have become spent. Rebabilitation of European factories may be expected to bring into the clear the competitive diudvmm under which high factory wage plucfl;etmerican exporters of surplus manufacturers." ~ â€" ~ fas _All prices according to the trend of agricultural prices, Dr. Stewart said. He declared that the. d pull of cheap farm products t be regarded as having spent its ‘ll influence until Canada wTe:t producâ€" ing limits are more clearly establishâ€" ed in relation to prices and until Rusâ€" sia‘s wheat exports become reâ€"estabâ€" lished at whatever restricted figures conditions of land tenure and other economic influences determine. MIGRATORY BIRDS ;. _ _ PLENTIFUL, REPORT Wild Ducks Many in All Parts â€"Of Country; Also Other Waterfowl 3 Thousands of ducks are to be found this season on the Potomac below Washington, and excellent shooting is reported to the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, At least 50,000 ducks have been seen recently within 25 miles of the capital. â€" Threeâ€"fourths to fourâ€"fifths of them are canvasâ€" backs, the others including black ducks, scaups, mallards, goldenâ€"eyes, NORECIEe R y .

There appears to be a great increase in migratory waâ€" terfowl on the Potomac this season over last. ok) Reports from, other districts â€"are equally encouraging. More ducks and geese have been seen in eastern and western Missouri this year than for several seasons. Spme of the old residents in the Havana, IIl., region of the Illinois River state that they do not remember any season when as many ducks were present as at the beginning of December. The United States game warden for Florida says he has not seen as many coots in 25 years, and that the waters everyâ€" where are black with them. f By an official decision of the United States Geographic Board, just anâ€" nounced, the name of the late Alfred H.
