The Monetary System.

MT. Editor: It becomes more evident every day that the high cost of living is caused. more or less by our present ineffective and inadequate'' national banking laws, in short our present monetary system. It seems some of the educated political economists, pro- fessors in the colleges. get tangled up over their explanation of it. For in stance, Prof. Irving Fisher. of Yale university. and Dean Frank W. Black
 mar of the University of Kansas, seem to believe that the volume of gold has something to do with it; in other words they carry the idea that the volume of money makes high or low prices. Of course they imply that gold Is money, From their viewpoint gold is the only money, Professor Fish er's contention Is that imitation of gold and credits are the primal causes, In plain language high prices are caused by teo much money, His rem edy is so very simple. He would put more gold into the gold dollar, Of course the more gold put into a dol lar would make so many less number of dollars. It is eslled contraction of the naeney, Prof Biaekmar would take different course. He apparently thinks there are not enough gold dol lars. That the cause is on account of contraction of money, that there is not enough geld deiiars. Sc his remedy is te take seHae of the geld eut of the said dollars and that would increase

TO THE EDITOR
Forest Protection.

MT, Editor! What the farmers Of Connecticut should do is to get to- gether at their grange and form an association to protect themselves against forest fires which are destroy . ing hundreds of acres of timber land in our state. Also to try and stop Sc much summer cutting of timber by lum bermen. The summer is the worst time of the year to cut timber land for the young saplings are broken down and killed by the tree tops that are left. The tree tops must be cut into cord wood right away and the brush burned. The stumps will not sprout 50 good as if they were cut in the fall or winter of the year.
 If the farmers of Connecticut want good timber land and free from dis ease they must look after 1t by keep ing the floor of the forest free from dead trees for dead trees breed fun gus. They should also remove the chestnut tree if it is attacked by the chestnut blight and all the parts af- fected by the blight should be burned.
 The floor of a forest must never be raked or burned to get rid Of the dead wood and leaves for such keep the roots warm in the winter months. The leaves form what is known as the leaf mold, which is an important mat ter to the tree.
 We have in Connecticut an asso- citation formed in Elmwood and the government has also appointed war dens in various parts of this state.
 But what we need is to form an as- sociation ourselves and protect our timber lands and see that our lands are free from fires.
 For further information consult Hon. Henry Graves, chief forester, Wash ington, D. c. I am hoping that the farmers around the town of Norwich will look into this matter and bring it up before their fellow members at their next meeting with the idea of organizing an association in Norwich, Conn.

N of Oklahoma has some very In
teresting constituents among the
Osages. These Indians are great
friends of the representative and he
in turn is warm admirer of their

lawyer out in his state. This man
was the leading COUNSEL for big cor
poration, great blowhard and about
the most pompous individual on earth.
But he had peculiar way Of wheez-
ing when talking or laughing and the
Indians had noticed this. 1t is one Of
the Indian customs to give persons
some name denoting their peculiari
ties; what we would call in English
a nickname. And they bestowed on
the pompous individual one about as
long as your arm and as sonorous as
preacher on a hot afternoon.
One day the pompous one was walk
ing down the streets of a town and
overheard two Indians talking about
him. They pointed at him as he pass
ed and uttered long sentence which,
he understood, they intended for his
name.

position where she could see what
was going on, they opened the find
