Gentlemen 49,
During the summer Of 1919 it was my good fortune
to be able to make trip to the interior of Labrador AS

Arctic Circle became intimately acquainted with the
famous Labrador mosquito.
In our duf1e bags we had q varied assortment of

odoriferous oil discovered by the chemical world.
The Labrador mosquito, be it known, is quite the
most voracious and boodthrsty insect known ento

The housing and high rent prob

nearly every section of the state,

Some people who bought farms on
the top wave of land, did not figure
on the high peak Of labor yet to
come.
Department Of agriculture investi-
gators show that the average worth
of tenants in so counties where last
years boom was active, was only II
per cent of the value Of the average
farm capital. 1t is not going to en-
courage a tenant to buy farm, if
you ask him eight times as much for
The property as he can pay doWn
himself.
Speculation has its uses to SOM.
extent, since it enables man who
really needs to sell property to get
a reasonable price for it. But it
leads people to devote their attention
to trading when they ought to be
priced for it. But people who have
made money out of land speculation
are likely to settle down and do
nuthing, thus subtracting their eff
forts from the production of the
country.
Land speculation drives buyers in
to sections where land is relatively
cheap and untouched by any craze.
Also it discourages people from be-
coming farm owners and increases
the amount Of capital that must be
tied up in food production. All these
factors reduce agricultural output.

Charles Ponzi, an Italian of limited

public from the very start. Money
poured into his hands from all sides,
and in the course Of a very short
while he rose from poverty to great
wealth and assumed the role of a
The source of his great
profits, so is was alleged, consisted
in dealing in foreign postal ex-
changes. His doings attracted the at
tention of the government authox;-
eies. Ponzi was questioned but failed
to impress the officials with the fact
that his methods were legitimate. An
investigation and audit of his books
were made, with the result that the
bank with which the Italian did busi-
ness. has been closed; his liabilities
have been estimated at $5,000,00O
