"Ive been in school board work for a long time-gueSs because I'm rather good -natured and like dealing in prob lems of the children When other business men begged off with the ex- cuse they were too busy. they always suppose, what Theodore Roosevelt preached on race suicide helped plant the idea
 Fulkerson explained that he had read in a local paper an advertisement of homes for rent with these two words in big type: NO CHILDREN"
 Next day I talked with local newspaper man. said Fulkerson. ssWhy that ad is an insult to all chill dren, I told him. What have children done to deserve such sweeping con- demnation? I told him I believed I would build a bunch of houses in one of our best residential districts for no one but families with children. That was the announcement. -
 Fulkerson took me out in his car to view the houses he is building. They are in an attractive district just off St. Joe's Lovers I.ane,' that Eugene Field longed for and made famous. Each will cost about $5,500. exclusive of lot They will rent for from $40 to $50 The houses-he plans to build 36 will face beautiful park. rine school is nearby. The houses will be real homes in every sense of the word gardens, room for tennis court, etc.
 s'The other systems all wrong. It forces families to turn to race suicide. If others here and in every city will follow me I will feel I have been amply rewarded" ]"
 When the stork visits one of Full kerson's houses, that months rent is to be returned.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo.-"May his tribe increasei''
 This is the substance of hundreds of letters of praise received by Walter P. Fulkerson, banker. since his announce ment few days ago that he would build houses for people with children; that only those who had children could rent his homes; that newly-weds who had no child at the end of a year must give way to those in whose home the happy laughter of little children rang.
 F'ulkerson has received from 200 to 300 letters from Maine to California praising him as a pilot who is blazing forth the dawn of better day for children.
 And his office in the Bank of Bu- chanan County, of which he is presi- dent is the scene of a continuous stream of visitors who want a house a home where children will be welcome where they may bring up their kid dies in a decent community and start them in life's struggle at least not with the handicap so many are now forced to bear through punishment to homes none would live in, except as a last resort.
 Fulgerson is simply plain, straight forward American business man who wants to dc his bit. For years he has been known in St. Joe as a "commun- ity builder

uP-To-DATE LONE JACK

(St- Louis Post-DiSpatch)
 Confining himself to an actual list of community calamities, Mayor King of Lone Jack, Mo, reasons convincing ly that the blowing up of the local electric light plant, the quitting of his job by the jitney bus driver, the de- parture from the midst of them of the sole barber and the robbery of the To- cal bank-all in a short space of time indicate the secret arrival of a jinx in town and a high pressure distribu- tion of his malign influence But it is to be observed that 25 per cent of Lone Jacks ills is due to preventable acci- dent and 25 per cent to crime of un- usual magnitude and daring, while 50 per cent is due to labor troubles.
 Life within Lone Jack is only typi- cal of the larger life outside of Lone Jack. It is a cross section of a status prevailing in the entire country; in deed, throughout the world. Lone Jack is just up to date.

LUCK OF "CAL" COOLIDGE (Frederick M. Davenport in the

Calvin Coolidge will be generally re- garded by the country, I think, as a e-eminently safe man for the emer- gency of the decease of the president, which makes me think of a remark which a very close friend of Coolidge made to me. He said: ''If Cal Coolidge were nominated for the vice presi- dency, I wouldn't take the presidency for a hundred million dollars" And said, "Why?" and he said .I would die in little while. Coolidge has all ways been so lucky politically. Every thing comes along to him in most un- canny and mysterious way. Excuse me from the presidency with him in the vice-rega1 chair"

THE MOTIVES OF STATESMEN

 It amuses me to read lengthy specu- lations of the probable reasons for the Russian policy of Clemenceau, Lloyd George. Pinchon and Balfour. It is safe to say that most of the facts adduced these estimable gentlemen never heard of or gave no thought to. and most of the fancies and conjectures and illu- sions they are supposed to have enter tained never entered their heads. doubt if any one of them has a clear understanding of what bolshevism Is or could pass an examination on the evef1ts in Russia since the revolution

 FINANCIAL REVIEW
 NEW YORK, July 24-Foreign af- fairs dominated the financial markets to an unusual degree this week, in ternational exchange becoming acutely unsettled in consequence of latest complications in the Russo-Polish i'm broglio.
 Another significant phase of the 1n- ternational situation was presented by the record of exports and imports for the fiscal year. In volume these figures were unprecedentedly large, but the June trade balance in favor of this country was the smallest of any month prior to the world war.
 The fact that several of the Federal Reserve branch banks recently ap- preached the limit of their rediscount resources was regarded as sufficient proof that the credit situation has lost little of it's protracted tension. The opinion was expressed by the chief ex- ecutive of the country's largest na- tional bank that money would remain tight if not stringent for the balance of the current year.
 The stock market during the week lapsed into apathy. Spasmodic out bursts of activity were almost wholly at the expense of quoted values.
