POLONAISE
By DR.. Frank Crane

Poland contains 100000 square miles and
hence is about one-tenth the size of the
United States, which contains about 3,000,-
600.
1t has 100000 Inhabitants, which is
about third of the number in the United
States (95,O00,000) excluding our extra ter
ritory (1O,00O,0OO).
It's people are proud and independent, but
for many years it has been oppressed by it's
two powerful neighbors, Russia and Ger
many.
AS one result of the war, Poland was made
free, and is now a member of the League of
Nations.
It has very fertile soil and the harvests in
peace times are excellent.
It was much harassed by the Germans in
the war and by the Bolsheviks since. It is
now getting on its feet slowly.
It's forests are enormous. One Polish au-
thority estimates that they could be sold for
enough to pay the national debt
1t is Republic. Its President is General
Pilsudsky.
It's capital is Warsaw, which contains a
million people.
You get some idea of its extent when you
travel there and discover that it takes the
train twenty-three hours to go from War
saw to the Russian frontier eastward, and
twelve hours to go northward to the Ger
man border.
1t has plenty of all mineral supplies but
coal, which is why Poland wants Slesia,
where coal is plentiful.
The industrl districts of Poland are al
most as delsely populated as Belgium.
The railways are in bad condition, owing
to the destruction caused by the German
and Russian invasions.
Poland's currency is badly wrecked. Be-
fore the war Polish mark was worth shill-
ing, or about quarter; now it takes 1000
Of them to buy four dollars worth of goods.
This renders trade almost impossible.
Poland badly needs raw materials from
other countries, and can not buy then on
account Of, its worthless money.
Alexander NJ Thompson, labor corresl ond-
ent for London newspaper, says:
1.-THE count-y's recovery has been further
hindered of late by series of strikes, in
spired, according to business men, by Boil
shevik propaganda, which, owing to the
wholesale influx of refugees from Russia, is
here exceptionally easy and active. Manu-
facturers have another grievance in the fact
that Poland has the shortest working week
of any countrJ in the world, the late Social
| list government having fixed the lega. work.
ing maximum at forty-six hours, except in
the case of agriculture. In the latter in
dustry arbitration in the case of disputes is
compulsory

Fur-Trabb;ng for the Job1ess
r UNEMPLOYMENT in the city and the
country is problem with enough
angles to puzzle the best brains Of the

country is a problem with enough
angles to puzzle the best brains of the
nation
With capital, labor, private enterprise, the
public and, by no means last, the jobless
themselves, differing widely as to possible So
lutions, it remains for Mother Nature to pre-
sent truly feasible and welcome way out for
no small contingent of the idle.
There is work-steady, profitable, interest
ing work-in all parts of the United. States
this winter for at least one million men and
boys. It is true that the jobs that wait for
the asking will go mainly to applicants in the
putting million men to work outside the
big cities will help relieve the strain in the
cities.
Fur-trapping is the line Of employment for
which Mother Nature is issuing the advertise
ment, -"Men Wanted" The trapping season.
from all reports, will be a record-breaker this
year. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful,
prices will be good, and as has always been
the case, the novice may play a remunerative
part at an almost negligible outlay.
All over the south is money crop provid-
ed by nature AID awaiting harvesting by man.
In the thickets, the forest, along the streams,
among the hills, on the very farmsteads OF
thousands of southern men and boys, live a
myriad army of wild things. The unpopular
skunk, the crafty fox, the nocturnal opossum,
the trucuient raccoon the furtive muskrat,
the marauding mink and the other fur-bear-
srs that will yield S50,00O,0 900 in pelts this
winter, are to be caught by simple means.
The million jobs that Mother Nature will
fill this year possess an appeal beyond the in
comes they will pay. Many an urbanite,
comfortably settled in the humdrum routine
of business, would cheerfully swap places
with one Of the men out in the open.

Hugo SHINES, the German industrial and
financial magnate, is turning his attention
to Mexico and is reported to be behind a gi~
gantic colonization scheme in that country.
Luis Huller, Jr., who has just succeeded in
having a $20,O0O,O0O land concession to
group of Americans declared invalid, is un-
derstood to have either the backing Of Herr
SHINES or a German group close to the
SHINES interests.
Herr SHINES is said to have had agents in
Mexico for several weeks engaged in acquir-
ing rich timber and mineral lands.
The land concession that was invalidated
through Mr.. Huller's efforts, had been grant
ed many years ago to James Fl. Garfield. son
of former President Garfield Of the United
States; Nelson Rhoades, Of Los Angeles
Oliver M. Stafford, of Cleveland and e. J.
Marshall, of Ell Paso. The land lies in the
states of Chihuahua and Sonora and is known
as the Palomas Hacienda.
A condition was that colonists were to set
tie on the land but the Americans claimed
revolutions prevented colonization.
