MORTGAGE.

To pay of war debts, al nations
must reduce their standards of living,
possibly even below nrewar levels,
predicts Achille Viallate, French
economist. >.
His argument IS, that to pay off
a mortgage YOU have to deny your
self. Also, that national debt is a
mortgage and can he net only IN
the same way an individual handles
an obligation.
Viallate is wrong.
A mortgage can be paid off by
self-denial. That's true. But it can
also be paid off without self-demal
hv increasing your earning power,
That will require harder work-ln,
creased production. It's only a
Quest on of time until everyone sees
this truth. It's the only way to keep
the standard of living up.

SPEED.

A worlds record is broken by a
pigeon which carried a message from
Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, to
President Harding.
The bird flew an average of 80
miles an hour for 16 hours.
Think of the tremendous energy
stored in its wings.
Artificial power, like gasoline, is
not nearly as wonderful as the pow
er Nature gives to those most perfect

 Wheeler was secured from London in the Michigan Ontario league by the Pirates, and, after brief try out before Manager Gibson, was shipped to the Barons for approval. If Wheeler makes good in the South ern, be will be showed in as regu- lar hurler with the Barons, which will mean that one of the five pitch CTS on the staff will have to go.

 Manager Molesworth hasn't de- cided whom to place on the ineligi- ble list while Wheeler is being tried out but says that Wheeler will be on the corps in day or so. One Of the pitchers whose arms are not in shape, as a result of injuries. will probably be placed on the ineligible list until he is back in condition.
 Wheeler is said to be a big, husky crap. He won 10 and lost 3 games with London this year. and his work attracted attention of Pirate scouts Barney Dreyfus is still mindful of the fact that Morrison, Glazner and Branhart came from the Barons so he has been keeping his weather eye peeled for Baronial material Wheeler is the result of another ef- fort of Barney's to help the locals out in their fight for the gonfalon.
