scrappings OF plants and disorganiza-

that we have demand for additional
capital in the form of short-time loans
to tide various concerns over into the
period of certain recovery. We have
plants continuing to operate despite
the fact that there is but a slender
market for their products. We have
employers and employees considering
new arrangements for their mutual
protection and benefit despite the fact
that the surplus of labor would make
it possible for employers to take from
labor all that the latter was able 70
gain because of war conditions. The
explanation of such a situation. says
the bank, seems to be that those who
manage the productive and distribu-
tive agencies of the country realize
that the underlying conditions are
sound and will eventually assert them
selves on the side of business revival.

Congressman Mondell, Republican
leader in the house, announces that
revenue legislation will be given pref
erence over everything else. includ-
ing the tariff in the extra session. He
Justly holds that enactment OF tenn
porary tariff law. along the lines of
the Payne-Aldrich measure, would
require as much time as would be
necessary to pass a permanent tariff.
This probably would mean that dis
cussion would extend over into the
regular session. Prompt action on the
revenue situation is imperative and the
news that it is contemplated will be
welcomed by the country.

UNTIL SHE DIED.

UNTIL SHE DIED.
Until she died we never knew
The beauty OF our faith in God.
We'd seen the summer roses nod 4
And winter the tcnpests blew,
Thru many spring we'd lived to see
The buds returning to the tree.
We had not felt tho touch OF woe.
What cares had come, had lightly flown,
Our burdens we had borne alone
The need of God we did not know.
1t seemed sufficient thru the days
To think and act in worldly ways.
And then she closed her eyes in sleep.
She left us for a little while,
No more our lives would know her smile,
And oh. the hurt of 1t went deep,
1t seemed to us that We must fall
Before the anguish of 1t all.
Our faith, which had not Known the test
Then blossomed with its comfort sweet,
Promised that sonic day should meet
And whispered to us: He knows best"
And when our bitter tears we're dried,
We found our faith was gjorified.

NEW RULES OF ROAD

L. d. McArdle, director of eff
cheney, began work this week COM
piling the new rules of the road,
which his department will enforce
after August 1. A complete digest
of new laws and many additional
rules of the department will be print
ed for the benefit of auto and truck
drivers.
Truck drivers who have been in
the habit of overlooking their ma
chimes and endangering the high
ways will be an especial object OF
Investigation by the new highway
police. Suspicious loads will be
weighed where they are found and
it is just possible drivers of over
loaded trucks will be obliged to un-
load their illegal freight on the spot.
On the theory that auto owners
generally helped in working out the
new laws, Director McArdle expects
their cooperation in enforcing them.
