THE COURSE OF WORLD PRICES

The proposal to appoint an inter national commissio ion L" study inc high cost of living and to locate the Jack screw or iackscrcws that have pushed mn prices is an interesting one. Such ar investigation would at least broad on views by emphasizing the fact that the rise in prices is worldwide. and hence minimize certain local eN- lplanations that are loudly shouted by superficial politicians in various coun- tries
 The prupoundcr of the plan of az
 international commission is Professor Fisher of Yale university. If he should be named as a member of the commission it is not difficult to i'm agire in what direction Professor
 Fisher would turn the inquiry. He IS a leader of the group called gold
 maniacs'' by thos" who find it easier to abuse an opponent than to answer his argument.
 The tentative figures Tor the worlds output of gold during 1911 were this week issued bv the drcc- Tor of the mint. They show a gross product of $i66.00O. .000-an increase or Sf4 .0O0. 900 over 1910. and the largest total in the worlds history Yet tn" outlook is not a'arming-not even t" those holding that the product of gold is the chief influence controlling aV- craze prices. and that prices must continue to go up if the gold supply increases.
 The gold product of 1911 is the largest in the history. but the in crease is relatively small. The god
 product of 1911 is but 3ia per cent larger than in 1910. Ten wears ag" the incraese of one year over the preceding one approNimated to 10 per cent. In 1908. three years ago. the gold production was S441 100000. lr three years. therefore. the rate of annual production has increased but S25. .u0o. .0oU The world has probably reached the crest of the gold move n,rnt. It k doubtful if the new gold ! from the mines is any more than IS necessary to meet the increasing de mand for gold in both the arts and las money.
 l The gold maniacs" gained reput, las prophets by predicting hiGheI prices on the strength of mining re-
 turns There seems a chance foi them to gain more repute as prophets iby announcing that the upward rusl of prices is practically over. and tha' lHith al reasonably stable gold supply lprices will tend to stay on their pre-. Isent leyrl.-St Louis G'ob.-Drm Craf

CAMP FIRE CLUB.

The members of the Camp Fire club On America of which Daniel Carter Beard. National Scout Commissioner or the Boy Scouts of America is presi- dent. are devotees of real scout work and. therefore. are hearty supporters of the Boy Scouts. Among those mem bcrS in addition to Board are Geo. ID. Pratt. treasurer of the Boy Scouts Of America and one of the founders Of the movement in this country, and Ernest Thompson Seton, chief scout ot the organization. They are working to provide in every state in the country forest reserves anj plaNgrounds for the Boy Scouts They would like to see in every state in the union park corresponding in way to the Yellow stone National Park and the Glacier Pork in Montana. Such parks would bc great camping grounds for the boys. and would afford them splendid op- portunitv to study woodcraft, to learn of the birds and the trees. to track anl- mals. tO build camp fires, to fish and to canoe The camp fire club IS also working for the creation of fish refuS- es such as has been established sue ccssfully in Europe. It is fighting to prevent the use of the automatic gun for hunting and for the enactment ot laws for the care of the Adirondack forests Dan Beard is enthusiastic about the plans of the camp fire club. In speaking of the plans for parks in every state he says: They would be great camping grounds for the Boy Scouts where they could learn real woodcraft without any bloody attrib- uteS.' -

How a Phoenix Man Makes His Front

OBy Forest AIitchellD


 IT every propertyholder in Phoenix who has no fruit or ornamental trees in his ward would take walk out to 922 West Harrison street and see what b. D Olds is doing in his little square of non-bearing and non pro during ground in his front yard. there is no doubt but what he could be greatly benefited from a vegetable garden and pccuniary standpoint.
 MT. Olds is utilizing his spare space in front of his pretty green cottage in the planting and raising ul many kinds of useful vegetables.
 Yesterday evening a stop Nas made by a passing man at the ward fence. inside of which the owner of the pretty garden was busy spaGinG and milling up the many rows of vege- tables that present such an aspect of beauty In the array is about every kind that is cultivated and grown elsewhere and sold on the local mar ket. The three or four rows of let tucc will in few days of this warm weather afford enough for the table three times day. if it is so desired, and will keep on coming away over in spring and early summer. The cauliflowers are getting |" be inn menSe in size. too. and in a little while will be on the family table. Then there are the cabbaSes coming nicely and wrapping their rounding. hard heads in pretty green leaves. These in a short time can he num- bered among the family cdibles on the table The radishes Are great, big. long and red fellows. and have been furnishing the table right along through all the indictment weather "i the winter without getting old or pithy This is d new presentation "i radiShcs after standing in the ground so long. but nevertheless it is so, and is something Mr. Olds never encoun- tered before There are the long rows of tiny little onions. just peep : ing out. as if afraid to venture toe far. with their myriads of blade' looking like little spears of emerald The beetS. too. of which there arr three rows. are coming like a speed ing auto. and will soon be ready t' lav on the table sliced up with ; little vinegar over them.

RETURNS FROM LEASED OYSTER
 BEDS.

The latest report of the state She'll fish Commission contains some reVela- tions of the practical working of the oyster bottoms leasing law. passed m 1906. which are enlightcning. 1T not very encouraging. Under this law the
 Shellfish Commission was created and a comprehensive survey of the oyster lands. productive and non productive. was provided for. Th.s survey has now
 been practically completed. anu in the report just issued the commission Ie-
 clares that there are now 300.O00 acres
 of bottoms available for leasing under
 the law which can be made valuable by
 artificial development. and that lOO.-
 000 acres of these lands are so situated
 and constituted that by the applica- tion of modern methods of oyster cul-
 ture they can be made as highly pro
 luctiVe as the bottoms reserved as
 natural yielding areas This state
 mcnt is quite moderate and is doubt less well within the bounds of truth concerning the extent and productive
 possibility of the oyster lands available for leasing The opportunity awaits put tne report. SHOWS llldt oyster Cul- ture under the Haman law has not developed; has. in fact. retrograded. IL is shown that for the year which end = CI with September. 1908. the re1tal re- ccipts from leased bottoms amunted tO S356f. 5O, and that for the year ending with September 19lC-the last yea covered in the report-the rentals had dropped to S157154. The leasing sys- tenn SO far has cost annually more than | ii has come to. The total receipts. ul-
 der the new oyster law for the fiSca ,'oar 1909. were $417>.S0, and the tota | cost of the S.-tcm was for that veal | $35.tSj.32 anl the total receipts fol
 1910 were s1-96.54. as against a tota | o'-t for maintenancc of S311i6.-SaI | IranciscJ ChrOnicl"

REVISION OF
SCHOOL LAWS

"The attention of legislators will
soon be called to one result of the
state educational associations october
meeting at Grand Forks" said
county superintendent of schools who
was in Fargo attending the Country
general agreement arrived at by the
county superintendents of, schools over
some educational situations which
have forced themselves upon their at
tention. The superlntendents have felt
that the revision two years ago of the
school laws was a decided impove-
ment. ~
Two years of experience, however,
have shown them that the harness
of these laws, even as revised, rubs in
some places. Since this harness is
worn by the county superintendent
principally, they consider that they are
in position to know best whether re-
lief is needed. -y.. -@.t
They claim that probably IS per
cent of, these laws pertain to the
country and village schools. to the eX-
clusion of city high schools and state
institutions of higher learning. Hence
the administration of school laws is
almost entirely matter of their own
direct experience.
"a year ago State superintendent
Taylor. at the request of the body of
county superintendent, appointed a
committee consisting of Superintend-
ents Barnes of Richland county. Dali

without pay instances wherein diff

and to formulate proposed changes.

greatly by the actual field experiences

reported their own instances of diff
ficulty when encountered.
