NO EVIDENCE OF TURKEY PRICE
FIXING
Prices for turkeys have been unreason-
ably low this fall which has given rise to
suspicion and open charges that packers
had conspired to depress the market for
larger profits. The agricultural department
has investigated these charges and officials
say they are unable to produce any evidence
to show that the prices offered were the re-
sult of combination agreement. The com-
plaints were based on a Chicago price of 28
cents a pound for dressed turkeys while 11
and 12 cents were being paid for turkeys in
Texas i/nr live fowls.
The department reports that there are
twenty million turkeys in the United States
this year compared with fifteen million last
year, and that the quality is inferior to last
year.
Whether or not the very low prices for
turkeys this year is a result of combination
or overproduction, the farmers sustain loss
of profit. One of Mr. Roosevelt’s announced
farm policies is to avoid overproduction and
consequent loss of profit. This policy should
be applied to turkey production and might
be solved by dressing plants and cold stor- From Ume immemorial ^ventors have been try-

for the U. S. Patent Office was one of my play-
grounds when I was a boy and my uncP was Com-
missioner of Patents. I learned more, I think, from
the exhibits of models of early inventions than I
ever learned in school.
Many folks have a wrong idea about patents.
They think they are intended to create monopolies.
Th exact opposite is true. The word "patent”
means “to make public.” In return for disclosing
the secret of his device or process so that anyone
can use it, Uncle Sam giv.s the inventor the sole
right to use it for seventeen years. After that it is i
public property. ■ p'
America is one of the few countries where the
owner of a patent does not have to pay an annual
tax on it. That ist one of the reasons why we are
the most inventive people in the world. The other
is that we had to invent machines to do our work
because we wanted more work done than there
were men to do it.

INVENTIONS . . . the public
In 1844 Henry L. Ellsworth, then Commissioner
of Patents, in his annual report to Congress said
that the Patent Office would soon be unnecessary,
since there was nothing left to invent! Just a few
of the inventions since then are the telephone,
electric light, gas engine, phonograph, airplane,
photographic dry plate, motion pictures, radio, and
about a million and a half other devices for which
patents have been issued since Mr. Ellsworth's tim\
For years the Patent Office refused to consider
applications for patents on flying machines on the
ground that it was impossible for men to fly. They
still refuse applications for “perpetual motion’’
machines unless accompanied by a working model.
No inventor has yet produced a model that works.
A patent, however, is no proof that an invention
is valuable. The value of any invention depends en-
tirely upon whether it meets a public demand.

Paul’s Parting Counsels.
Lesson foi December 6th. 1st
Timothy 6:0-16.
Golden Text: 2 Timothy 4:7.
Timothy was associated with
Paul fer a longer period than any
i of the apostle’s other companions.
I That he was held in the hignesl
regard by his older colleague is
evidenced by the opening greeting
in Paul’s first letter to Timothy
where the great-hearted mission-
ary calls his younger ally “my
own son in the faith ”
The son of a mixed marriage,
with a Jewish mother named Eu-
nice, and a Greek father, Timothy
appears in the Bible gallery as a
i child of rival cultures. In Acta 16
we learn not only about Timothy's
rvnrents. but also of the esteem in
i which he was held by his breth-
l
, em, of Paul’s desire to have him
! »s a traveling companion, and of
I the rite of circumcision performed
, by the apostle upon Timothy in
deference to Jewish feeling. The
young man was ordained, ar.d ac-
companied Paul, Silas and Luke
in their wanderings.
There are many references to
Timothy both in the Acts and
Paul’s letters. He was with Paul
in Rome during the apostle’s im-
prisonment there. Indeed three of
Paul’s letters, written from his
bondage, Philippians, Colossians,
and Philemon, were issued in their
joint names. Paul’s dependence
upon his youthful disciple is illus-
trated in the touching chapter of
our Golden Text where the aged,
broken apostle appeals to Timothy
to “come shortly” unto him.
Note Timothy’s splendid inher-
itance. He sprang from good
stock. Such gold as we find in him
is not made of dirt. Consider also
his fortunate nurture. “Prom a
child,” writ's Paul, “thou hast
known the Holy Scriptures.” <2
Tim. 3:15). And recollect, to Tim-
othy’s great credit, that he obey-
ed Paul's Invitation to be his fel-
low-traveler. He went forth from
his home, becoming as a son to
his elder friend. Finally, it is
pleasant to recognize the nob!e_
bearing of Paul in his attitude t
ward Timothy.
