London.-The world can expect no
relief from the present high cost OF
living and the shortage of commodities
until the widespread social and indus
trial unrest has disappeared and the
war shattered economic machinery
has been put in order, according to
Charles A McCurdy. parliamentary
secretary to the ministry Of food Mr.
McCurdy said that he was not partic-
ularly optimistic over the chances of
any marked betterment of the situa-
ton In the near future.

not until society resumes its normal
course can we right economic cond1-

.It is very difficult to prophesy re-
garding the food situation of the fu-
ture, in view of the fact that the
whole economic structure of the world
has been so badly dislocated- There
is hardly any factor of business that
is stable, and we do not know what
wages are to be. AS a result Of these
conditions the regular channels of dis
tribution are disorganized, and until
they are normal, it will be impossible
to tell what effective supplies there
are as compared with the world

Is no distress among the people, yet
this comparative abundance is in re-

Great sections of the world are actu-
ally hungry because of the impossi-
bility OF distributing supplies prop

lions were such that foodStuffs could
be purchased by those countries which

Prehistoric Tree Trunk
Found in Iron Mine

st. Paul, Minn.-Discoveryh has
just been made in the Holman
iron mine, near Taconite, Itasca
county, Minnesota, not far from
the source of the Mississippi
river, of the trunk and branches
of prehistoric pine tree in an
excellent state of preservation
and with pine cones about it.
The tree is not petrified. The
wood is as sound in the main as
though it had been felled only a
few years ago and the pine cones
are still pliable. The wood with
exposure to air has not Softened
or crumbled, and the find is the
first of its kind on record so far
as biologists of the great iron
ranges can learn.

Judging from reports from druggists

An examining physician for one of the

 Someone has said that the only man who is worthy of a monument is the one who does not need it; because he has already erected an enduring monument in the hearts of the people. As long as time lasts, the name Of Theodore Roosevelt will stand for ag- gressiveness, honesty and a square deal
 Tn the hears of the mountains of Arizona, under the shadow of the his torica1 Four Peaks, there has been constructed a monument to this great man. It is the Roosevelt dam, on which the government of the United States has spent about $13, .000- This includes the cost of power house, ca nals and other things necessary to the great Salt River valley project.
 This dam. with the other work, has made something like 250,000 acres Of land blossom like the rose, has made land whose value was only a few dol lars an acre worth on an average of $500; has made a paradise in which are built at this time thousands Of homes.

OLD SPANISH CON.
 CAME BEING WORKED

That the Spanish swindle of years ago is being revived is the word given out by Frank s. Smith, special agent of the department of justice, to whom scores of letters have been referred by prominent citizens who have been given opportunity to aid in the re- covery of $300,000,'' with third of the amount as reward.
 According to Smith a number of such letters have been received here, one of the recipients being J. H. Lang ston, ST., father of the assistant U. s. attorney. Another well-known man who has been approached is Edward Hobold of TAP Grand avenue.
 The department of justice states that the old scheme is being attempted both in th1s state and in New Mexico, and warns the public against being duped.
 Smith states that the plan is being worked in the old way without any modern improvements. He says con- federates on this side furnish the names and home addresses to the man in Spain, who unfortunately is in prison and cannot recover his fortune, which is in a secret pocket of valise kept under seizure. However, he will share what he has with the American disposed to aid him. He urges the utmost discretion.
