jHENRY FORD AND HIS SYSTEM.
,i i
Does Henry Ford possess magic
powers, asks an editorial writer of I
H he World. He refers to Ford's suc
tressful system of handling labor, pay-j
ihg them top-notch prices and at the I
same time adding to his own wealth. !
The wrter urges business men to ;
RVudy Ford's system in tho following
article;
" "To his far-reaching bonuses,
amounting this year to $10,000,000, dis
tributed among 94,000 employes, Hen- j
ry Ford now adds profit-sharing on a ,
scale equally generous. What he calls
investment certificates, in varying de
npminations are to be sold to all work-!
ors in sums amounting to one-third of I
lheir yearly earnings, including bon- J
uses, which must be paid for not with
money already saved but from the '
year's wages and bonuses. ;
"Unlike some other holiday gratull-J
ies, Mr. Ford's gifts increase with the
wages or salaries received, and long
service is rewarded, by still larger pay
ments. The purpose to promote stead-1
liiess of employment is again revealed
in the conditions applying to the new 1
investment certificates. Possession of
these issues, which are to receive divi
dends from the net profits, must be!
Surrendered at face value when the j
holder leaves the service.
"The Ford Industry has been con
ducted on lines so at variance with
most business enterprises that it has
seemed at times as though some mag
ic was practiced there. Where every
body gets at lenst-?6 a. day and a
bonus and where all arc now invited
to become stockholders, sharing in the
remainder of the fabulous profits,
what propensity for change is It that
must be overcome by such painstaking
efforts to stabilize employment?
"Whatever their results may be, ex
periments of this kind arc interesting
and valuable. Mr. Ford may find them
workable and others may not. Much
depends upon conditions. But in any
case the example is to be commended
for study if not for hasty imitation,

KEEPING DOWN RABBITS
(Charles J. Sorenson)
Instructor in Zoology, U. A. C.
Rabbits may be held in check by
various methods. Probably the best
methods In use at the present time
are community and townBhip driving
and systematic poisoning.
In preparing for a drive it is well
to build a pen large enough to hold
all of tho rabbits In the proposed
area. The usual size of the pen la
about twenty feet square. It is made
of strong close mesh woven wiro
fence five feet high and sunken Into
the ground three or four Inches to
prevent tho rabbits from digging out.
From the narrow door in the front
side of the pen two wings are built
out in V-shaped fashion as far as
seems practicable. A mile is not too
far although shorter wings may be
very effective, particularly when they
are extended by men stationed at in
tervals of a few rods apart to head off
rabbits which would otherwise miss
the wings.
Fencing for the wings may be about
two feet or more high. Fences that
are already built may be used as wings
or at least the posts may be used to
string the wire for the wings on.
All the men and boys of a com
munity should participate in a rabbit
drive. Arrange them in a semicircle
in front of the pen and at a distance
out from it depending upon the size
of the area to be cleared of the rab
bits. This may be a mile or several
depending somewhat upon the contour
of the country. The semi-circle of men
may be flanked by other men extend
ing from its ends to the ends of the
wings. All people in tho drive should
carry tin pans or other objects with
which to make as much noise as pos
sible and frighten the rabbits along.
Clubs also should be carried with
which to head off and kill the animals.
turned all things to gold, but here is
one whose gains outrun his generos

only to be further enriched by labor.
Has he a secret, or is it only common
justice and common sense?"

IN DEFENSE OF THE NEWS- !
PAPER MEN OF OGDEN.
At the "love feast" at the Weber
club Monday evening former Mayor T.
Samuel Browning implied that the
newspapers and newspaper men or
Ogden did not do as much as they
might have done to present to the
public the day to day achievements of
his administration, that not all the
good things of tho service rendered
were told in prints
We desiro to put in a word oV two
I in defense of the newspapers and the '
news writers. J
Both Mr. Browning and former Com-
inissioner Jones made rather long
; talks at that dinner. In these talks
Ihcy gave in detail information about !
the problems that confront city offi-;
'cials, the stops that are taken to solv:;
them and they gave a review of th
results accomplished during ihelr
terras.
There were four reporters' at that
dinner and they were busy taking
, down all the information that Mr. J
Browning and Mr. Jones were giving
I out in their speeches. A great deal of '
it was new. Therefore It was news, i
What we want to gel at is this: Why
i could not Mr. Browningiand Mr. Jones
have talked to the ctiy hall reporters
just as they talked to those at the din
ner? Or better still, why did not they
write out a statement or two for the
editors to publish?
The writer has covered the city hall
and it was his experience that most
cfty hall news, except the bare facts
of the commission minutes, had to be
pried from the officials. They had to
be questioned before they gave out in
formation. It was seldom that a "big
story" was volunteered.
Any city hall reporter would have
been glad to listen to any city official
make such a talk as was made at the
Weber club. It would be "news" and
that is what the reporter wants.
We do not mean to Imply that news
was suppressed. There were very few
cases of suppression. And if the re
porter had a "tip" on the story he ob- j
tained his facts by going to the official!
and asking a few questions.
But the fa"ct remains that there was
much Information left unpublished,
not because the reporter did not want
to write it nor the editor to publish
it, but because the official did not
give out tho news and becauso the re
porter was no mind reader.
We think that 'If Mr. Browning had
taken pains to give to newspaper men
facts about matters of interest in con
nection with his administration, that
information would have been pub
lished. With a former editor in the mayor's
office, wo warn him that it will be his
I own fault if the citizens are not kept
: well Informed aa to the city's affairs,
i In addition to being mayor he can also
be ex-officlo city press agent.

AWARD INVESTIGATION.
4
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The
senate naval affairs committco
voted 10 to 1 today to authorize
investigation by a sub-committee
! of five of tho controversy over
! awards of medals to naval of- 4
! fleers for war aervice. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana,
voted againnt th resolution.
The men now march forward con
verging as they go toward tho pen,
driving the rabbits before them and
into the pen where they may be quick-'
ly exterminated.
Guns should never be allowed in a
rabbit drive because of the danger of
accidents.
Poisoned baits are very successfully
used In keeping down rabbits, par
ticularly when snow covers the
ground and when the natural food Is
scarce.
Poisoned alfalfa is commonly used
and is prepared as follows: Dissolve
one ounce of strychnine sulphate in (
two gallons of boiling water and :
sprinkle It over fifteen pounds of
leafy alfalfa. hay, chopped into about'
two inch lengths. Mix thoroughly un-'
til all the moisture is absorbed by the j
hay. Scatter the poisoned alfalfa in'
small heaps along rabbit trails in en
closures where there is no stock.
Poisoned oats make a very attrac
tive bait and may be prepared accord
ing to the following formula: Mix
together one ounce of powdered strych
nine (alkaloid) and one ounce of com
mon baking soda. Sift this Into 3-4
pint of thin hot starch paste and stir i
thoroughly. The paste is made by
mixing one heaping tablespoon of dry
laundry starch in a little cold water,
which is then added to 3-4 pint of boil- j
ing water and boiled until a clear
thin paste is formed. Add 1-1 pint of
heavy corn syrup and stir. Add 1-10
ounce of saccharine and stir again
thoroughly. Pour this mixture while
still hot over twelve quarts of clean
oats and mix until all the grain is
coated.
Do not put over a tablespoonful of
the poisoned grain in a place and scat
ter considerably along rabbit trails
whore there is no stock. A little al-
falfa may be used to attract the rab
bits to tho grain.

Diamond Output of
World, Small Pile
CHICAGO, Jan. 7. If all the dia
monds mined In history and existing
today as cut and polished gems were
I gathered from the ends of the earth,
I they would form a pile about as large
I as a wagon load of coal dumped on the
I sidewalk, says a Chicago statistical
(expert. The pilo would contain 46,
35o.4T4 carats and the gems would
welch 10 tons. If tho pile were In
the form of a con, It would have a
base diameter of sight feat and a
height of five feet. Reckoning the
diamonds at $300 a carat, it would
have a value of $13,906,642,200. It
would contain 710 1-3 gallons worth
$5,539,023 a gallon; or 76 1-3 bushels j
valued at 51, 570,729 a bushel. All the
world's diamonds could be packed In
an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen
pantry.
This estimate is based on an ap
proximation of the total output of
rough diamonds in tho world's entire
history. India, it is estimated, has
produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats;
Brazil 15,000,000: South Africa 170.
574.000: Borneo, 1,000,000; British
Guaia 50,000; Australia 150,000; China
2000; Siberia 500; United States 500.
ThiH is a total rough output of 236,
777,374 carats or 55 3-5 tons avoirdu

monds are cut into gems and lose
about 60 per cent of their weight in
being cut and polished. Diamonds are
practically indestructible and the first
diamond ever mined may possibly
still bo in existence. But tho estimate
allows for the loss of at least 1,000,
000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck
and other disasters. These reduc
tlons and losses leave a total of cut
and polished diamonds at 46,355,474
carats.
The estimate of 300 a carat i3 the
minimum price at which diamonds can
be bought today. The popular demand
for diamonds was never so greac and
they have become the gem of working
