MALAY VISITOR
TRAVELS WORLD
In q Years Service, Walks
Total of ll7,496
Miles

years, an average of IA miles per day,
to have walked 20,4o4 miles in 80
states of the United States is the
achievement of Harrabellio Aleck-
amousa Marangeopa, Muritian-M Ma
lay, who visited Caldwell Sunday and
Monday. The Rev. Marangeopa, for
he is minister of the gospel, having
graduated from the Hume college of
England and Divinity honors, is cap
able of speaking % languages and us
ing 10 of them fluently. Each of the
10 he uses in his work as preacher.
During the % years that he has de-
voted to his work in various parts of
the world, he has collected $4,000
clippings written in 70 languages and
dialects and possesses 1000 letters
written by various mayors, governors
and members Of royal families.
Visits Deer Flat
Sunday, Rev. Marangeopa visited in
Deer Flat where he spoke at both
morning and evening services. He
speaks highly of that community, as
sorting that he has seldom visited a
locality which suited his fancy more
than did this particular section OF
Idaho. OF his life, the wanderer says:
IN, Harrabellio Aleckamousa Ma
rangeopa, was found in a hut on the
island of Mauritius, Mozambique
Channel, November II, 1871, among
IA dead bodies (probably my rel
atives.) This was the year of the
great plague (yellow fever as it is
called) swept over the islands of the
Mozambique, and destroyed hundreds
of thousands of natives.
II was found by the Sisters of the
St. Anthony Convent of the west side
of the island, and according to the

When inquiry was made OF one OF

Surely the public is entitled to more
consideration from the local Traction
company. While it may cost a little
more to keep the cars properly heat

1t seems to me the least the company
can do is to show a little apprecia-

1 see no prospect of any considerable fall
in prices for several years to come. 1t will be
impossible for the governments of the world
to pay off their debts very rapidly. On the
contrary, there is every reason to apprehend
that credits must be issued to foreign govern
ments, foreign manufacturers and foreign
business men, in order to rehabilitate the
broken and shattered industries of Europe.
This being the case we may expect that larger
volumes of checks and credit instruments will
be thrown into circulation, thus boosting
prices still higher. If it is impossible to re-
duce the volume of the worlds Indebtedness
suddenly, it is even more impossible to in
crease the quantity Of the worlds goods sud-
denly. OF course, the worlds productive forces
are being marshalled as rapidly as possible in
order TO increase the production from farms,
forests, mines and factories, but this is neces-
sarily a slow process, especially in these times
of great business instability and labor unrest.
The 1919 farm crops have practically all been
marketed. The only way that prices can be
brought down before next years crops begin
to find their way to market is through defa-
ton of the currency. Still further mutations
are inevitable if Europe is to rehabilitate her
industries so that she can increase her supply
of material goods and thus bring about lower
prices by increasing goods and decreasing
debts.

Attorney General Palmer is appealing for the enact
