THE MATTER WITH AMERICA"

j "What's the matter with America these days?"
 Too many diamonds, not enough blue flannel ones.
 Too many pointed-toed shoes, and not enough square toed ones.
 Too many serge suits and not enough overalls.
 Too much decollete and not enough aprons.
 Too many satin upholstered limou- sines and not enough cows.
 Too many consumers and not enough producers.
 Too much oil stock and not enough savings accounts.
 Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it.
 Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price.
 Too much of the spirit of "get while the getting is good" and not enough of the old fashioned Christ .ianity.
 Too much discontent that vents itself in mere complaining and too little real effort to remedy condi tions.
 Too much class consciousness and too little common democracy and love of humanity.-Fargo, N. D. Forum.

ANTI-CIGARET POETRY.

Without attempting to quarrel with the organizations who are set upon another amendment to outlaw tobacco, and who are waging cam paign to that end, it might be we'll to remind them that no campaign was ever successful without high class publicity.
 The publicity and propaganda mat ter so far put out by the anti-tobac- co crowd is--pardon us-very rot ten. It may be that they are un- able to find anyone who can produce good stuff who isn't for tobacco. That may or may not be true. It's certainty that they haven't found the proper propagandist yet. It requires "punch" to make the people shell out for bond issue-well written ap- peals, forceful arguments, clever poetry, genuine human interest news paper stories, good music, posters that would do credit to any adver- LlSlnE SeclioH.
 A case in point is a recent poem circulated by the anti-tobacco peo- pie. It goes on to tell of what d glorious sight it was to see the sol diers coming back with "happy shin ing faces" etc., after having whip ped "the beer drinking, tobacco smoking Huns"
 The final verse is:
 "All honor to the boys so true, "No praise too great from me or you; But o, the pain and deep regrets, "To see our boys with cigarettes!
 That will never, never do. The anti-tobacco people may have a cause ever so just and right. They may have the backing of the clergy and the medical profession and many others, but as long as they put out publicity poetry of this sort, we'll have our cigarettes and cigars for some time to come.

A DRY-TIME ATRocITY.

A tale of woe, with Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, head of the British trade mission. was told at dinner here today. Sir Arthur, when he ar rived in the United States, brought his own supply with him-in golf bag. Recently the supply was es- haustcd-all save half bottle of real stuff. Calling in some of his fellow delegates, Sir Arthur pro posed final drink. Glasses were filled, the bottle was cmptied and a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes water in his. And at some of the American hotels where he had stop pcd they have cute little taps stuck into the wall or into the washbowl from which ice water flows wher thrs button is pressed. This was the mt drink and Sir Arthur wanted to bs| careful. So he pressed the but fSis carefully. Then he tried to down lS lripk. He didn't; he had made
 ni5tske. Instead of the ice water
 hc had used tap that yielded l s]x vesp. 'ittsbufgh Dispatch.

Quick Thinking of Er-Speed
King Enables Him to Please
Old-Time Adnsirer;: Can Call
by Name Immense Number.

That Barney Oldfeld knows and
can call by name larger and more
widely distributed army of acquain-
tances than any other living American
is the honest belief of every one of the
speed kings close friends.
Twenty years before the public and
lifetime of almost continual trav-
cling, combined with Mr.. Oldfield's
unusual ability as tinker" have
brought him into personal touch with
many thousands Of people. His men,
ory for names and places rivals that
of veteran rural congressman, CAM
paigning his district.
But even such qualities as these
have been severely strained since
Barney retired from racing to assume
the presidency Of The Oldfield Tire
Company of Cleveland.
"You surely must remember me,
Barney" declared a would-be distri-
butor Of Oldfield tires, elbowing his
way into the former "Master Drivers"
office, and proceeding to relate a
comparatively unimportant event
dating far back in Oldfieldian history.
"Why sure remember that" de-
clared the tire manufacturer with
characteristic geniality. "And ! re-
member you too. You were the man
in the black hat!"
With the desired tire franchise in
| his pocket the merchant left that night
| for his home, where he is doubtless
today retelling the interview in which
the tire manufacturer so clearly re.
called the part he played.

SILVER DEMAND

Financiers, investors, capitalists and the general public are all asking the same question:: When will the silver boom start and how far will it go" These are the words that are on the lips of many and which cannot be an swered by anyone except to say that the silver boom has started and is li- able to "spurt' at any moment, and will make history for the silver indus try, says Herbert A. Huffman in the Morning Telegraph.
 So far the silver stocks have not ad- vanced with the price of the white metal, which only recently made . new high record price of $1.40 per ounce, and is today quoted about St.00 per ounce, and all indications show that the price cannot decline much from this price, but how high it will xo no one at this time can tell, but the companies are in line for large profits at these prices, and this will prevail for long time to come.
 Never before in the history of the silver industry has the demand for the metal been as great as it is at the present time. Now with the supply so low as it is and with production in
 
 here and abroad there can be but lit tie doubt as to the important position that silver producing stocks are in and will play in the near future.
 A demand Of greater importance i, yet to come from Europe. Through out all of Europe currency has been | inflated by the war emergency: Eng i land has printed 300,000,000 pounds ot 1 her currency notes and France has authorized 39,00O,OOO,OOO francs ot paper money. The imitation in other | countries is much greater and in many i of the unsettled countries of Europe the paper money is of negligible value | It has been estimated that S20,00O,0 900, | 900 of paper fiat money has uoen issu ed by the belligerents during the war i therefore the condition would mear | that there will be from now on a con stantly increasing demand for meta money or paper money backed up by

eserves of gold or silver.

reserves of gold or silver.
 The enormous increase in financing demanded by the war and postwar reconstruction has put silver on a par with gold. The war debts of the world aggregate s16S,OOO, ,OOO,OOO and the an- nual interest on this war debt alone is about $S,400, 100000. This annual interest practically equals the entire floating supply of gold in the world. As there is not enough to back the paper money of these countries, which the people demand, and must have, their eyes are turned to silver and sil- yer has become the metal of the hour This alone would tend to guarantee the future of the silver industry and therefore the high prices of silver are not temporary, but will remain in force for years to come-probably for ever, as the demand has far outgrown the worlds ability to produce.-Ari- zona Mining Journal.

Seeing the gates5 were up he drove on without stopping5 to look again, though his view was obi structed, and he was struck on thes second track. The Pennsylvania Su-E preme Caurt held that he was guilty ofs contributory negligence as matter off law; that a person who has entered! on railroad tracks with view to cross ing must continue to look and listen! for approaching cars, and that the fact! that the safety gates are not loweredl at crossing does not relieve a driverl from the duty of exercising ordinary care.-Kipp vs. Central of New Jersey (Pa.) 10S Att. 175.
