Once upon a time—according to
Harz mountain legend—a poor
miner’s wife was gathering pine
cones in the forest. It was just be
fore Christmas, her husband was
ill, and there was no money in the
house for food. So, she gathered the
cones and sold them to the villagers
for kindling—obtaining enough for
the day’s necessities.
One morning while she was look
ing for such cones, a little imp
jumped out of a huge fir tree.
"Here, here are the biggest,
driest cones of all! Take these,"
he shrieked, jumping up and down
excitedly.
Suddenly, there was such a show
er of cones that the poor woman was
frightened. She tried to run away,
but could not move until the little
imp had filled her basket. And, hav
ing started home, the basket grew
heavier and heavier—she wished the
elf hadn’t disappeared, he might
have helped her.
When she finally reached her hut,
she called the children to help car
ry the basket inside. Emptying the
basket, they found that every cone
was made of solid silver.
Commemorating these legendary
silver cones, gilded pine cones are
sold in modern stores, to decorate
our homes—to burn and crackle
gaily in our Christmas fires.
! a river, a small waterpower is near-'
by. It is not an investment any more
than an insurance policy is an invest
ment. Such a place would give a
family Wholly dependent thereon on
ly a meager existence. The same
time and energy spent on a city job
would pay four times as much as if
expended on this farm; but for em-.
ployes who work in a large city,
it is an excellent investment.
, Farms As Insurance
This is not a recommendation that
educated young or old people try to
get a living on such a farm. The
experiment would probably end in
disappointment. Such farms are
useful as summer homes for employ
ers and executives within commut
ing distance, or those who have saved
or inherited a modest nestegg. This,
! however, is "an appeal that medium-
’ sized corporations provide not only
for their owners and the business,
but also for their key employes and
families.
I.
I believe that more corporations
should buy a few such farms with
in 20 to 60 miles orf their plant.
These farms should be fairly close
together, they should be expected to
pay only enough to compensate for
maintenance and taxes. They should
be furnished so each house could in
an emergency take care of four fam
ilies (with one central kitchen). I
repeat: There some day will be a
World War III; when it comes some
of the above cities will be bombed.
Old employes who do not have the
money to buy and maintain such
places of refuge, should be protected
in this way. The time to buy sufch
farms is now.

Babson Says
(By ROGER BABSON)
New Boston, N. H., Dec. 18: This
week’s column ,is not written for,
farmers, as I' know nothing about
farming. Nor is it written for those
who live in small self-sustaining cit- i
ies or rural communities. Rather, I
1 am writing for my business friends —
in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Bal- g
' timore, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh it
land Washington, D. C Because when g
World War III does come, some one y
or more of these 11 cities will suffer j-i
la terrible loss of life. ' iy

ate and have nothing to fear.“You are g
in the richest in peace and safest in i.i
[ time of war of any part of the United
States. Probably every state has i
i some similar safe, productive and at-
I tractive sections. Readers who live
in such places should be very thank-
| ful. With the above introduction I
will sail ahead.
What I Have Done
For some time our statistical de
partment has been building a branch
at New Boston, N. H. for use in case
of World War III. We bought an
old brick building which we could
use for offices and several nearby
homes in which we could house a
limited number of executives. We
believe that many more business con-
1 cerns in one of these vulnerable cit
ies should do the same thing. They
owe it to their customers. Most em
ployers have summer places to which
they personally could flee, but such y
places do not provide an emergency
1 plant or emergency offices.
We however have not been con- !
i tent to do only this. We have been .
picking up some old farm houses
I to which the families of our employ-|
| es could move. These are from one
1 to three miles from our emergency
! plant at New Boston, a distance which
| could easily be covered with a
1 horse and wagon if no gasoline is
| available. Such farm houses are well-
i built with all modern conveniences
1 and would cost $30,000 to build to-
1 day.
What Old Farms Cost
I "Old” Boston is a city of about
800,000, and with its close suburbs %
| contains about 2,550,000. The autho-
' rities told us that to be absolutely
| safe we must be about 60 miles away. $
Hence, for our emergency plant, we g
went north to New Boston, N. H 6
where there is*a bountiful supply of g
food and fuel which makes it inde- £
pendent of railroad transportation. g
In addition to the emergency of- it
fices and homes for executives, we g
are taking another step to protect, in
such an emergency, our loyal em- j-j
ployes of long service. As an illus- '
tration, we last week bought for only
$6,800 a farm of 183-acres with an
oW farmhouse of 10 rooms, a good
j barn, electric lights and telephone.
It consists of 73 acres of woodland,
! 70 acres of pasture, and 40 acres of [
bottom tillage. The place borders'
