    Henry Ford Buys
125,000 Acres Coal
Land for $20,000,000
Aoteil Auto Manufacturer
Predicts Kra of “Big Busi
ness" Coining to
America.
Lexington. Ky., March 22.—It be
came known today that Henry Ford
has bought 125,000 acres of coal land
on the Kentucky river in Clay and
Leslie counties at a price to run from
*12,000,000 to *20,000.000.
(Cutij right, UK! B) International Nfwn
Service. 1
Detroit, Mieh., March 22.—Within
20 years industry will have grown to
such vast proportions that “big bus!
ness" of today will be small in com
parison, according to opinion ex
pressed by Henry Ford in a review
of conditions and prophecy for the
future.
. Mr. Ford is an optimist. But he be
lieves that investment in a concern
merely for the sake of profits is "had
business." Outside capital, Fred de
clared. Interferes with Industrial |
progress. Money paid out In div
idends, he believes, should go back
into the business to improve and ex
pand it.
A manufacturer should run his
business just as he runs ltis home,
the famous motor car maker said.
To Construct Highway.
Ford thinks that within five years
or so most of the railways will be
electrified. He revealed that he in
tends to construct e model highway
paralleling the Toledo and Ironton
railroad which he bought several
year* ago.
"Within 20 years industry will be
no magnified that the big business of
today will be small in comparison,"
iyaa Ford's answer to the question—
What is Industry coming to?"
Must Gain Confidence
continuing, Mr. Ford said:
"Industry la coming to big busi
ness. Not big business as we now
know it—big business is what I mean.
We have, within four miles of where
you are sitting, a plant which is a
big plant when compared to other
manufacturing plants of today. It
employes more than 30.000 men. This
big plant is our blast furnaces, where
we use just three things in the raw
-coal, ore and wood. From these
three fundamentals wc produce a mul
titude of products.
"People look at the plant and say
what a big place!’ it Is—today. It
won't be 20 years from today. Indus
try 20 years from now will be a lug
business that takes ma'erials in the
i aw and turns them Into a finished
product at a price the average ens
| tomer can pay. There will be an elim
ination of the various profits of the
v arioua middle men. Those profits can
not remain because they are unnat
ural profits. They are the profits of
people who do not create. To be en
titled to a profit a man must create
or must serve some indispensable need
in the process of production and dis
t ribution
"But. to succeed, big business must
first gain the confidence of the pub
lic," he said.

CHAPTER XVI.
Ralph an<l his father came horn* to
spend the holidays, and on Christ*
mas day Bayliss drove out from town
for dinner. He arr.ved early, and
after greeting his mother in the kitch
"n. went up to th* si ting room which
shone with a holiday matne- and,
for once, was warm enough for Bay
liss—having a low circulation, ho felt
the cold acutely. He walked up and
down, jingling the keys in his pock
ets and admiring his mother's w.nter
chrysanthemums, which were still
blooming. Several times he paused be
fore the old fashioned secretary, look
ing through the glass doors at the
volumes within. The sight of some
of those books awok* disagreeable
memories. When In was a boy of 14
or in, it used to make him bitterly
jealous to hear his mother coaxing
('laude to read aloud to her. Bayliss
had never been bookish. Hv* i before
by could read, when his mother lold
him stories, he at once began to prov*
to her how they could not po. -1b 1 >
lie true. Later he found arithmetic
and geography more inter*-Ming than
“Robinson Crusoe.’’ if he s it down
with a book, he wanted to feel that
he was learning something. His
mother and Claude were always talk
ing over his head about tire people
in hooks and stories
Though Bayliss had a sentimental
feel ng about coming home he consid
ered that, he had had a lonel;, boy
hood. At the country school he had
not been happy; he was the boy who
always got the answers to the test
problems when the others didn't, and
he kept his arithmetic papers but
toned up in the inside pocket <»f hi*
little jacket until he modestly hand
ed them to the tea* her, never giving
a neighbor ihe benefit of his H* \er
ness. Leonard Dawson and other lusty
lads of his own age made life as ter
rifying for him as they could. In win
ter they used to throw him into a
snow drift, and then run away ami
leave him. In summer they made him
eat live grasshoppers behind the
schoolhou.se, and put big bull-snakes
in hi** dinner pail to surprise him.
To this day. Bayliss liked to see one
of those fellows get into difficulte s
that his big fists couldn't get him
out of.
It wa b(
figure and undersized for a funnel
that his father sept him t* town to
learn the implement business. From
the flay he went tc work, he managed
to live on his small salary. He kept
in his vest pocket a little day book
wherein ho noted down all his expen
ditures—like # the millionaire about
whom the Baptist preacher* won n* v
or tired of talking—and his off* ring
to the contribution box stood out
conspicuous in his weekly a< * <>unt.
In Bayliss* voice, even when he used
his insinuating drawl and said dis
agreeable things, there was something
a little pla.ntlve; tho expression of
deep-seated sense of injury He
felt that he had always be. i mbun
derstood and underestimated. Later
after he went Into business for him
self. the young men of Frankfort had
never urged him to take part in their
pleasures, lie hud not been asked to
join the tennis club or the whist club.
II" envied Claude his fine physique
and his unreckoning, impulsive vital
ity, as if they had been given to his
brother by unfair means and should
rightly have been his.
Ra.vlis* and his father were talking
together before dinner when Claude
eame in and was so inconsiderate as
to put uii a window, though he knew
his brother hated a draft. In a mo
ment Bayliss addressed him without
looking at him:
"I see your friends, the Krlichs,
have bought out the Jenkinsnn com
pany, in Lincoln; at least, they've giv
en their notes."
Claude had promised his mother to
keep his temper today. "Yes, I saw it
in th" paper. 1 hope they'll succeed."
"I doubt it." .Bayliss shook his
head with his wisest look. "I under
stand they've put a mortgage on the.r
home. That old woman will find her
• If without a roof one of these days."
"I don't think so. The boys have
wanted to go into business together
for a long while. They are all intelli
gent and industrious; why shouldn’t
they get on?" Claude flattered him
self that he spoke in an easy, confi
dential way.
Bayliss screwed up his eyes. "I e*.
pect they're too fond of good living.
They'll pay t hr ir interest and spend
whatever’* I'-ft entertaining their
friends. I didn’t see the young fel
low - name in the notice of incorpor
ation—.Tillius, do they call him?"
' Julius is going abroad to study
this fall. }!c intends to he a profes
sor."
"What .- the matter with him" Does
he have poor health?"
At tills raotmnt the dinner hell
sounded. Ralph ran down from his
room where he had been dressing and
they all descended to the kitchen to
greet the turkey. The dinner prog
ressed pleasantly. Bayliss and hi* fa
ther talk'd politics, and Ralph told
ories about his neighbors in Yuc
' i county. Bayliss was pleased that
his mother had remembered he liked
oyster stuffing, and he complimented
her upon her mince pies. When lie
iw ) ■ r pour a second cup of coffee
"i herself and for Claudn at the end
"f dinner, he said, In a gentle, grieved
tone, "I'm sorry to se« you taking
two, mother "
Mrs Wheeler looked at him over the
I off.. pot with u droll, guilty stn.le.
I don't believ> coffee hurts me a par
tide, Bayliss."
"Of course it does; It's a stimulant."
What worse could it he, his tone ltn
plled! When you said anything was
a "stimulant." you had sufficiently
i ondenined it; there was no more nox
ious word.
Claude was In the upper hall put
ting on his coat to go down to the
barn and smoke a cigar, when Bay
,.-« came out from the sitting room
and detained him by an indefinite re
mark.
"I believe there's to be a musical
show in Hastings Saturday night.”
Claude said he had heard something
of the sort.
"I was thinking,” Bayliss affected
a. careless tone, as if In* thought «>f
such things every day. "that we might
make a party and take Gladys and
Enid. The roads are pretty good.”
“It’s a hard drive home, so lab* at
night. Claude objected. Bayliss
meant, of course, that Claude should
drive the party up and back in Mr. j
Wheeler’s big ear. Bayliss never used !
bis glistening Cadillac for long, rough
drives.
”1 guess mother would put ns up
over night, and we needn’t take the
girls honn* till Sunday morning. 'Til
get. the tickets.”
"You d better arrange it with the
girls, then. I ll drive you, «*f couth*.
if you want to g<>."
Claude es* aped and went out, wish
ing that Bayliss would do his own
courting and not drag him into it.
Bayliss. who didn't know one tune
-in another, certainly didn't want
» go to this concert, and it was doubt
ful wheti, i i.,.. a ...ci* would care
much about going. Gladys Farmer was
the best musician in Frankfort, and
she would probably l.ke to hear it.
Claude and Gladys were old friends
from their high school days, though
I they hadn’t seen much of each other
while he was going to college. Sev
eral Times this fall Bayliss had asked
Claude to go somewhere with him
J on a Sunday, and then stopped to
“pick up Gladys,” as he said Claude
didn’t like it. He was disgusted, any
