DOLLAR does not begin
~ to go as far as it used
0 to do, because our in

az other causes have in
SS60I creased the cost of liv-
ing until salary Of
$1,000 which had remained fixed since
1896 would buy in 1911 only as much
as $693.96 would have done in 1896.
In 1912 that salary of 1000 would buy
only as much as $61843 would have
done in 1896. The struggle is getting
hard for fathers and mothers. What
about the children? The next genera
ton will probably see harder strug-
gle for existence. Demagogues will
blame 1t on the trusts and the rail-
roads, Of course; but they will prob
ably be very little to blame, because
the government is watching them
more closely every year The main
causes will be % the increasing pop
ulation doubling the eaters when the
acres OH which the food Is raised
never can double; (2) the fact that we
are exhausting our forests, our mines
and our soil SO that the next genera
ton will be poorer. There is only one
remedy-a bread-and-butter education
which will make cur children able to
handle skilfully the remainder of our
rich forests and mines which We have
not thrown away.
Throwing Away Our Resources.
The United States has only per
cent Of the worlds population, but we
produce Is per cent Of the worlds
gold, 33 per cent of its Iron, AZ per
cent of its steel, 81 per cent of its
petroleum, IS per cent. of it's copper.
But these are all raw materials, and
when they have once been dug from
the earth they can not be replaced.
We are. just that much poorer. Here
is the great trouble. We are shipping
these materials in large quantities to
Europe because we do not have skilled
labor to devlop them. Europe refines
these materials through her skilled
labor and gets rich from our raw ma
terial, which we should be keeping at
home.
Practical Education In Europe.
Where does Europe get this skilled
labor? Through her trade high schools.
Take, for instance, at Munich. The
schools give practical training for

A Seventeenth Century Organ.

Made in 1926 by the master artisan,
Nicolaus Mandescheit. and described
as the finest instrument of the kind in
the world, an organ has been pur.
chased abroad by an American dealer,
who is said to have paid 100000 for
1t. The purchase is linked with the
name of Henry c. Prick. The instru,
ment is of large cabinet size, with a
keyboard about three feet long. The
case is richly carved, and inside are the
makers portrait and inscription Civ

ged In price today influenced by q c0ntin-
uance Of depression in quotations from
Liverpool. The fact that yesterday'B ex-
port business from this side OF the ATTAIN
tic was said to have exceeded the record
helped to bring about q rally. but the eff
feet failed to last. The nearness Of the
beginning Of shipments OF Argentina to
Europe was given much attention. After
opening 1tQAc to A@s&c down the mar
ket recovered to above last nights level.
and then suffered q fresh decline.
Renewals OF good demand from the
seaboard led afterward to a decided up
turn. Rainy weather reports from Argen-
tina counted also against the bears. The
close was strong, AQ1c to 1c net higher.
CORN-Corn eased on with wheat, and
a. q result OF hedging sales Buyers grew
more numerous, however, on the descent.
Opening prices, which ranged from a
shade to A@9ac of, were followed by q
slight additional setback.
In later dealings the market sympa-
thized with the late gains scored by
wheat. The close was unsettled, varying
from shade on to A03sc advance, ~
compared with last night.
OATS-The weakness Of wheat in
fluenced oats.
PROVISIONS-Provisio went lower
with hogs, with buying on the part OF the
stock yard interests gradually operated
as check on the bears.
