City Chemist Teat Shows Coal of Quality $9a25 PER TON DELIVERED $9.25 ORDERS TAKEN AT OFFICE OF DAN B. BUTLER, CITY HALL URGES DEALERS TO STUDY WORLD CONDITIONS NOW John Gamble Tells Implement Dealers "Food Can Win the War," Also "Save the World." John V. Gamble, chairman of the executive committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, delivered an address before the members of the Mid-west Implement Dealers' association, in annual convention at the Hotel Rome. Mr. Gamble, who is president of the Standard Chemical company, di rected his talk from the standpoint of a manufacturer and dealt largely with the labor problems confront ing the American business man and manufacturer. He said that with the vast number of men who have been eliminated in Europe by the war and the fact that it will still be necessary to keep many men un der arms, that "we cannot expect that our, manpower will become any where near normal for sometime to come, and there is no ground that I can see on which to base the as sumption that we will have cheap labor for many years." No Low Prices. He also said that he., did not look for much lower prices in raw ma terial for sometime to come, and while there might be some sharp de cline in certain materials, the de mand for the reconstruction in Europe and improvements in Amer ica which have been neglected dur ing the war will keep prices very nearly where they are now. He said: "If prices should break sharp ly, it very likely to be only tem porary and there will no doubt come a reaction which will bring prices back, not perhaps to their present high level, but somewhere near it." He impressed upon the dealers the necessity of watching the markets of the world and study world condi tions as thev never have before and leave details to their subordinates. Also to impress upon the farmer the importance of preserving the con diton of farm machinery and the in stalling of up-to date machinery that every pound of foodstuff pos sible may be produced, for if "food will win the war" it can just as truthfully be said that "food can save the world." ' Farmers Must Raise More Food. He said: "You are a part of the machinery necessary to produce food stuffs. You must go back to your farmers and show them the necessity of raising more food than ever before. You must also show them that they are going to get war prices, or even more, for this food, but that this is the least consideration, as the big problem is to furnish food and furnish it as quickly as possible, and save the world from revolution and save it for civilization." Must Not Let Armistice Interfere. Floyd R. Todd of the John Deere Plow company urged implement dealers to replenish stocks gener ously, predicting no rapid de cline in prices as a result of the armistice,. "It is the duty of the implement Germans Failed to Publish' Part of Truce Terms, Says Britisher Copenhagen, Nov. 15. The Po litiken quotes the British military attache here, Colonel Wade, as saying in an interview that the Germans in publishing the terms of the armistice omitted six or seven articles, including that re lating to the allies providing food if necessary. dealer to educate his farmer cus tomer to his part in the food pro gram and to let him understand that in the rehabilitation period the farm er is the most important factor of all, to the end that the greatest pos sible acreage of all food crops and the largest production of meat ani mals in the history of this country may be secured next year," said Mr. Todd. x Food Problems. He dealt at length with the food problems of the world, stating that there was no great reserve supply available and that this country would have to make strenuous efforts to alleviate these conditions. , "Such a program as that outlined above 'necessarily contemplates a larger sale of farm implements than normal, for if the farmer is to pro duce the large acreage demanded of him he must necessarily supply hin self with those tools so essential to this production," he said. "It should be the business of the dealer to be more active than ever before in in vestigating the needs of his farmer customer and in prevailing upon that customer to fully provide himself with machinery to accomplish this task." Statistics Cited. Giving a history of events and statistics following the Civil and Franco-Prussian wars, Mr. Todd said there had been no immediate radical decline of prices after those wars, "That during the period of re habilitation, of readjustment, of get ting into peace production, prices must necessarily remain high. Fol lowing this period, which usually lasts from two to three years, his tory shows that there is a general decline in prices extending over a period of years, its length depending largely upon the radical advance that has taken place during the time of war."
