RAISING MUSHROOMS
IN ABANDONED MINES

ADAMSDALE Pa, Aug. 17-Aban-
doned coal mines have been shown to
be admirable places for raising mush-
rooms and many persons are going into
the business.
Since the tunnels are of an even tenn
perature and not a ray of sunlight can
penetrate the drifts, the mushrooms
thrive and tremendous crops can be
raised all the year around.
Care must be taken to keep the beds
from parts of the mine where gas col
lects. One man who invested several
thousand dollars in plant lost every
cent because the gas killed off the
spawn.
During the winter months, when
mushrooms are selling at from 81 to
$3.50 pound, big profits can be cleared,
it is said in these abandoned workings.
Several caves in the neighborhood
have been utilized for the same pur-
pose, but they are too close to the sur
face to do we'll in winter.

welt In the next national campaign, and any man that may stand for the Rooseveltian doctrine of sense and honesty; and we believe that the treasury department of the government will find, before it is through with this and other report ed failures, that there is a huge and profound conspiracy afoot in this direction, and it's detection and ex- posture will do more to put this na- tion on the dead level of financial integrity than 1t has been for years past. We hope we are not mista- ken in this deduction, for the rea' son that such 6 bold scheme and it's uprooting will, once for all, re- store peace and institute justice on plane that has not been known since the Civil War.

Last winter, about this time, we advocated an occasional old-fash- toned "spellin' an cipherin' match, |" but our suggestions went in one ear and out the other and there was "nothin' doin'." Such events help to break the monotony of the long winter evenings, and at the same time improve one part of the average education which is most neglected. We believe that if this matter were properly put to our public school teachers, 8 series of events both pleasant and profitable to all would be instituted.

INADEQUATE CIRCULATION

The present financial situation
 in this country, is the inevitable
 result of our banking system. The
 deposits in Portland banks are, in
 round numbers, probably about
 $60,O00,00O, says the Portland
 Journal. If the banks, under the
 rules, regulations, and the laws,
 state and national, are carrying 25
 per cent of these deposits in reserve,
 that is, in their vaults, then here is
 $15, 100000 of actual money tied
 up for the safety of depositors.
 When the sum falls below this law
 ful reserve then the banks must
 hedgs-stop loaning-stop letting
 money go out of their possession other than to the depositors them.
 selves. No, look ct the situation all over the country ct this time i;
 every bank is trying to keep up it's
 reserve, from 15 to 15 per cent of
 the volume of Its deposits, the money it owes the people. Suppose the deposits of all banks all over
 the country in round figures to be $13, ,OOO,OO0,OO0 (and they are prob ably greater than this vast sum) and the circulation medium, actual money, is not over s3.000,0 0,O0O. Then, how are the banks to retain the lawful reserve?
 That is the struggle that is going on now. The volume of deposits in all the banks is out of propor- tion to the volume of actual money, and every bank is involved in the struggle to preserve itself in keep ing lawful reserve, with the result that it is the old, old story of the strong against the weak, and hon. est, well-meaning bankers are now forced to do extraordinary things to safeguard their own institutions and preserve their obligations to those who trust them-their de- positors.
 ! The fact is, the financial system
 in vogue in these United States is l a patchwork affair that proves the weakest at times when it should be the strongest, and needs to be re- l vised, adjusted and made to fit the demands upon 1t in times of strin-
 gency of money as well as at other times. The experience that we are pass ing through at present should be a lesson to the people, to congress, to the president as we'll as to the bankers and fnanciefs. It should prove to be worth more than it's weight in gold"

AN INSPIRED FAILURE

There can be no doubt that there is an intense antagonism in certain influential money circles in the east against President Roosevelt on account of his unminced attacks upon the methods of Thigh finance back there during the past two or three years; nor can it be doubted the leaders of this group will engi- neer any coup or reprisal that will bring discontinue to the man whose courage and character and wisdom have proven too much for their dishonest alignment and self fish programs.
 The hatred of the president Is of a quality comparable only with the immense good he did the general public when he wrought the laws that interfered with their thieving schedules; and they will stop at nothing to even up the score they hold against him. They are pow 'erful, shrewd and interruptions, and have hundreds of dubious and desperate means to work their re- yenge, even to the wrecking of an Institution like the Knickerbocker Trust Company, which has closed its doors with untold millions availrble in its coffers to meet every possible demand that could be made against it. The failure, to our mind, was a farce, pure and simple; part and parcel of q gi- 'gantio scheme of alleged insolven- cies that are to follow all over the country, for tho sole purpose of , iisparaging and defeating Roose-

Have you ever noticed how the greed for gain has changed things in the past few years? Take, for example, social entertainments and dancing parties: A few years ago such functions were given, first at one neighbours home, then at some other, for the sole purpose of break ing the humdrum monotony of village life. Nowadays, if a dance is proposed, the first question that enters the minds of the promoters is, "Can we make anything out of it?" Social features are not con sidered, music is secured at the lowest figure, and the affair re- solves itself into a money-making proposition, pure and simple. Oh, for the good old days when the gals" took the lunch and the boys "chipped in" to pay the fiddler" 1!
