I New York, Feb. '7. Two events
on the program for this week would
ordinarily he regarded with particu
lar intoeest by financial markets. The
lact that the Paris reparations terms
will be submitted to the German
delegates at London tomorrow and
that Mr. Harding will be inaugurated
on Friday is the kind of thing t!:at
appeals to (inuuciul imagination.
There have becu many occasion;,
when conjecture as to what would be
the result or influence it cither event
would have dominated the stock ex
change movement especially. Neither
has received more than passing men
tion in the past week's talk of Wall
Street, yet it 'is strongly probable
that both wilj eventually cut at
least some figure in tiuauc.ial expecta
tions. Moat iifup look on the l.ouiion ion-ftr-ence
as only unit mur stp In what
will Ititve to he a gradual and frequent
ly Interrupted progrnw toward!) th tlnnl
M-ltli-imMit. Kvrti so. however. It neee
aarlly ki litK tha final results nearer and
anyona of thru. aurcvgHive i-uiiferences may
bring about atifftclcnt airrecmont bPtw.n
Oermany and thu allies to proinU a
practical solution.
( future I'ulU'lra rterret-
Many yroplo further bellev, howewr.
that no auoh solution is probable until tha
United States liaa re-entered the dlacUHffiun
and shown lta position and that could
ob.lou.sly not happen until the new.
mlnlxtratlon was Installed.
This la the most reasonable basis for
hoin- or expectation of a turn for the
liettcr after the 4ih of March, politically
or financially. Tha result In that direc
tion will depend on the unfolding of the
new adiulntHtratlnn'a policies, concerning
which Wall Street at well as the rest of
the world, is quit In the dark. But the
aupi'cm importance, even from tha finan
cial viewpoint of the declaration of its
future, attitude hy this country, la bound
to lend more Interrat than, usual to the
outlining of the state department's pro
gram. 'And It Is t least possible that even
rite now president's Inaugural address will
give some Important cue to the trend of
things.
Apurt from this paramount international
lsxuo. reliance on a new administration
for the tangible betterment of financial
conditions will be venturesome. The fact
of president and congress In full pointful
aceiird. as contrasted with tho political
iWdloiIc which Ins existed at M'ashlnK-
toft' over since the, war ended, la tin
dpuntedly Important In connection with
till" lllgl,.' cum I im ei leu iiiritwi u uw.i
reform which must he carried through
,-wlth a minimum of delay, involving, as
they' do, questions of public expenditure,
taxation and public revenue, public debt
and the railway situation. It will not
be possible to know, however, until long
efler Inauguration day. how far a wise
aolutlon of these prtibleini mat" be de
pended on from the new executive, and to
what extent rongteas will co-operate for
their speedy enactment nf the necessary
laws.
'e Sign ef Change.
Vsuitlly the financial vnaraets will be
looking nhead at ih's season of the year
and. to some extern, at any rale, basing
their ealeuliitlons on Burn, changes as
seem to tu suggested In the goner.il sit
uation, as the winter season ends. On
Wall Street during the past week, there
has been little evidence of Ihta attitude.
The urrtvnl cf the aorlng season is now
tint, very far distant. In past years U
ha-t sometimes brought a turn for the
baiter, Ha in 1S19. after1 the firrff trade
reaction following the armistice and some
times, as at this period in 1Jt), a turn
for the worst-: but It has almost Invar
iably Introduce something new into the
' slt"n,tlon.
The stork exchange has certainly given
tto sign of looking for changed conditions.
All of last weelOs depressing movement
wore occasioned by announcements, or
expected announcements, showing the bad
i result nf the H'.'O trade reaction. Iteflorts
of earnings of which the Central Leather
comuany's J: I. 0(i. 000 loss for 1920, as
against J1C.700.000 profit in 1S19 was
thw most conspicuous were in all cases,
the primary consideration in the move
ment of prices. Many of the stocks of
these Industrial companies wont to a
lowur unco than during 120, in which
year their shrinkage In -alue had gone
s for as 70 per cent.
Such resumption of the decline might
mean merely that the actual statement
of lust season's business losses had proved
. more disturbing than t!f earltVr evidence
that the losses were being sustained, or
:t might .mean that the figures . were
larger than anyone had expected, or It
nveht reflect expectation that trade con
ditions would be worse still before they
"are (better. There has certainly been no
revival of trtae beyond the cautions and
moderate recovery In the textile industry;
but then, a trade revival is nover ex
pected 1" this season of the year.

commissioner of titles appoiiyted by
the dovernor.
When a tract of land was to.be
transferred the title would be sub
mitted to two competent examiners.
If found satisfactory it would be
accepted, registered in the commis
sioner's office and a certificate is
sued, having behind it the guarantee
of the state. In the event of a
later sale, this certificate would be
turned in and another duplicate cer-tifkate-'firsned
ti the new owner.
To, finance the system a registra
tion fee of one-tenth of 1 per cent
would be charged, based 011 the
assassed valuation of the land.
The bill is an improvement over

Spur Track Measure.
'Another constructive measure pre
pared and. introduced by the federa
tion, cove'rs the matter of getting
spur track accommodations from
railroads. It would require all
roads, whether steam or electric, to
construct, maintain and operate spur
tracks for the use of mills, elevators.
Storage bouses, lumber yards, coal
yards, etc. Additional rieht-of-way
Ll'or such tracks would be secured
it necessary, by condemnation pro
ceedings. Under the provisions of this bill
the railroads could require the per
son or firm" demanding the spur tol'he Northern Telephone company
deposit tuuds n sufficient amount
to cover the cost .of construction,
also the cost of securing extra
land for right-of-way, in the event
that was necessary.
If. after a spur has- been built and
ccnnccted with the main line, an-
other person or firm want to make
use ot it, the railroad commissioners
would require the second person or
firm to contribute its pro rata share
of the original cost of construction.
; In case a railroad might refuse to
comply with a demand for a spur
ttack the'persons or firm making the
demand would have the right to file
complaint with ihe board of railroad
commissioners, who would proceed
to investigate the situation and set- j
tie the controversy on its merits tin-!
cicr the statutes.
If the bill is passed it will be with
the publication clause attached in
order that it mav become effective at
once.
Other Bills Introduced.
A collective bargaining bill, a
bonded warehouse bill and a measure
to provide for a farm credit corpora
tion, while introduced separately, are
really companion bills that are inter
dependent in their provisions and re
quirements. The first would author
ise collective production and mar- i
keting by associations of persons !
who desired to conduct co-operative !
elevators, shipping associations, etc..
giving them the right to make agree- !
merits and contracts. i
This would be followed by bonded

By EARLE WHITNEY. "
.y this season of the' year the
poultryman's interest centers on the
baby chick. And his problem is a
big one, lor his success in secur
ing winter layers depends upon' his
ability to raise healthy, vigorous
chicks that will mature early.
There are three factors which he
must consider carefully. the quality
of the parent stock, the brooding
system and the feeding method.
Good stock is the first requisite;
breeding stock must be. well devcl-
Pcd and vigorous. Yearling and 2
3 ear-old hens are , better breeders
,llan pu"els. oung pullets should
,iCv.er b? us,ed n,xhe. breeding pen,.
Care ni'lhe selection ot breeding
,tock w;n eliminate much of thTloss
from weak chicks. A careful studv
of the decent book by Lamon and
Slocum. "The Mating and Breeding
of Poultry," will give the amateur
complete details ot this important
subject.
Many poultry raisers contend that
the' most perfect breeding system is
the mother hen. Modern invention,
however, has provided substitutes
that are the equal of "old biddy"
when judged by the results obtained.
Visit your poultry supply dealer and
investigate tlie various artificial
brooding systems and. you wi!l find
that there are brooders and hovers
on the market that will raise as
large jif not larger percentage of
healthy, sturdy chicks as the hen.

Chicks should be fed a dry mash
! ration. Jf moist n.ash is given at all
it should be very sparingly. The
first scratch ration for chicks should
bp a finely ground mixture. Equal
parts of cracked corn, cracked wheat
and piuhead oats is a good formula.
Fine grnaiid clfarcoal should be
provided at the first feeding, when
chicks are 48 to 'il hours of age. The
drinking water must be changed fre
quently each d;.y so as to keep it
fresh and clean and for this season
i ?f year at a temperature that is
lukewarm.
Skimmed milk ' or buttermilk is
considered by the various poultry
experimental nations and state
colleges as indispensable in -the feeding-
of chicks, particularly in the
early stages of gtowth.

Damocles"
Every time you drive your car the possibility of an
accident with resulting damage suits hangs over
you, like "The Sword of Damocles."
Such accidents occur hourly, and even though you
are a most careful driver, the carelessness of
others cannot always be avoided.
It's hard to prevent a lawsuit, but you can shift
the burden xf responsibility and worry on to our
shoulders-. ,
An Automobile Liability Policy will act both as
your attorney and as your pocketbook.
The cost is small.
