 and Spends $6 On It
Then Chauffeur Finds Purse in Auto
 and Oil King Is Peeved.

Newspaper fellows in Cleveland are telling a good one on our old Uncle lawn D. It seems that on the night of July 5, Uncle lawn was riding down Euclid avenue in that burg en route for his summer home at PoCan- tico Hills, TarrytoWn, N. 4., when he dropped his coin purse overheard. Probably fishing for new nickel to donate to some poor but worthy per son, although the record does not bear upon that point Anyway, Uncle lawn had his chauffeur stop the hack or whatever ii was that the dear old coal oil lad was riding in and get out and get under but the chap couldn't find the leather. In great distress, Uncle lawn was driven to the office Of a Cleveland newspaper where he inserted an ad announcing his loss and requesting the immediate return of his property. The ad cost him 50 cash money. Then Uncle lawn, with a more chastened expression sped to- ward his $5,ooo,ooo summer home. Next morning as the chofe was fish ing around in the car he picked up Mr. Rockefeller's missing coin purse, He opened 1t to make sure. There was the munihcent sum of Go cents in 1t, a worn Canadian copper cent and a small knife When the chofcr handed the purse to his boss, poor old Uncle lawn nearly popped out of his BVD's. He figured on what that al cost him and groaned. They say now that Uncle lawn D. is considering the feasibility Of starting up a paper Tn Cleveland so as to chop the cost of ads in half

NUMBER OF FARMS IN CONN. DECREASES;
 FEWER MORTCACED
Drop Off Probably Due to Consolida- ton of Land Holdings Into
 One Tract.

In Connecticut in 1920 there were 10000 farms operated by the owners but in 1910 the number was 23,234, according to the federal census bu- reau, department of commerce, which also shows that in Connecticut the number of owned farms free from mortgage in 1920 was o,507; whereas in 1910 the number was I3,o8O. Owned farms mortgaged in 1920 aggregated S,o2O, while in 1910 the number was 0,o5S. The mortgage status was not reported from I,I4o Connecticut farms in 1920 and from I26 in 1910. The percentage of owned farms mort gagged was 48.2 in 1920 and 43.2 in 1910. The total number of farms free from mortgage in 1920 was Io,- IO2, while the 1910 aggregate was I3,- I0I. In 1920 there was a total ot o. 474 mOrtgaged farms, and the 1910 total was IO,O43.
 The total number of farms oper- ated by their owners in the United States on January I, 1920, according to the I4th census, was 3,o25,o0O. Ot this number 1t is estimated on the basis of the census returns that l., OII,37S, or more than 40 per cent. were mortgaged and 2,3I3,7I2 were free from mortgage. The figures actually reported were I,46I,I13 mort gagged and 2,o74,734 free from mort gage, while for 389,243 farms the mortgage status was not reported.
 The census bureau does not attempt to secure mortgage data for farms operated by tenants or managers, since the tenant or manager, in many cases, would not know whether the farm was mortgaged.
 In 1910 there were 2,048,722 farms operated by their owners in the Unit ed States. Of this number I,327,430, or ,33.0 per cent. were mOrtgaged, and 2,O2I, ,283 free from mortgage. These figures include the 4S,o92 farms with no mortgage reports, distributed in the same proportion as those with complete reports. The number of farms. actually reported as mortgaged in 1910 was I,3I2,o34.
 While the number of farms op-- crated by their owners.in the United States decreased 23,632, or per cent, between 1910 and 1920, the num- Der of such farms mOrtgaged in creased 2S3,o30, or 2I.4 per cent, and the number free from mortgage de- creased 3o7,57I, or II.7 per cent. The percentage of owned farms mort gagged increased from 33.6 per cent in 1910 to 4O.3 per cent. in 1920. Ihls increase does not necessarily indicate any lack of prosperity, however, since much of the money is borrowed for profitable investment Tn improve ments or in additional land.

Industries in Bad Shape.

The industrial life of Russia is at a very low ebb. The yield of raw metals, for instance, in 1920 was only 2H per cent of the pre-war yearly output The estimated yield for 1921 does not exceed one-third of what is considered by the soviet program committee to be necessary for indus trial needs. The ruble still circulates as medium of exchange in Russia, but has no value elsewhere.
 "A decree was recently issued lE- moving al restrictions from the free exchange Of products, and the police have been removed from all stations and highways where they were form crly placed to prevent the peasants from disposing of their goods.
 "Thcrc is hope throughout Europe that a genuine form of democratic government will be established in Russia. A collapse of the soviet gov be calamity, as a reign of anarchy would undoubtedly follow. This might last for several years and de- vastate the population SO essential as foundation for a stable government of and by the people"
 MT. Johnston found industrial and agricultural conditions better in Bel gium and Germany than any other parts of Europe. Lack of raw mat CT ial is the chief obstacle 10 complete resumption of manufacturing indus tries.
 "All of Europe needs what the United States can produce in abun- dance" said Mir. Johnston. "Abnor- mal exchange rates have created in dustriaI stagnation in both Europe and America, which can not be re- lieved until there is an equitable ad- justment of these exchange rates"

HARTFORD HAVING A
 PPE-DREAM OF ITS
 FUTURE IMPORTANCE
City of 384,ooo and Second Only to Boston Is How Courant Sees
 Itself.

The prediction that Hartford in 1850, only 20 years away, may have a population Ot 3S4, ,OOO will scarcely be credited by the average business man, | regardless of how optimistic he may | be regarding the future of the city. However that will be the approximate population in less than 30 years, pro- vided the ratio of growth registered I the 1910 to 1920 period continues,
 and 1t Is entirely probable that 1t will, says the Hartford COurat. It must be
 remembered that Hartford is one of
 the most rapidly growing cities in the
 East in fact is one of the cities in the
 entire country which has accomplish
 ed a large and constructive growth, which has not been greatly retarded | by the after-War depression. In point
 of bank clcarings and financial
 strength, this city is, of course, clear | ly ahead of other cities of similar population in the East.
 | Hartford IS fortunate in that a num-
 Der of it's industries are those which
 should experience their period of
 greatest growth in times of peace and
 prosperity. The Underwood, the
 Royal and several other leading fac
 tories in this city are in no way de-
 pendent on the boom periods for their
 prosperity. Their future growth
 would appear inevitable. In the case
 of Colts and several other plants,
 which prospered greatly in war times,
 they are so equipped that in periods
 of healthy business conditions they
 can turn out products used in the
 everyday course of commerce. With
 Colts, the normal demand for revolv-
 CTS assures large and increasing It's insurance companies are un-
 doubtcdly Hartford's greatest assets They are, in sense, the industry of Hartford, and the 24 companies mak- ing this city their home, companies | operating in every field of insurance activity, both in the United States and 1 abroad, should double their strength within the next 10 years. For in stance, the Travellers of 10 years ago. housed in comparatively small building and employing limited ottlcc force, grew to be company employing 4,5oo at it's home offices in 1921. It does not require prophetic vision to forecast that by Io3o both the Travellers, and the Aetna Life and allied companies, may each be em- ploylng 1000 to 10000 in their Hart
 ford offices.
 It is probable that within the next
 10 years Hartford will have passed Worcester, New Haven and Bridge port 10 population and be the third city in New England in point of in habitants, with Boston and Provi- dence the only cities in the lead And 20 years from now Hartford may leave the Rhode Island city behind and be second only to the Hub

MINERS OFFICERS TO REFUSE SALARY
 TO HELP MEMBERS
Will Work for Nothing This Month Because of Unemployment
 Situation.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 22.-No sal aries will be accepted by more than 100 officers of the United Mine Work CTS of America for their work this month "becausc of the widespread unemployment among coal miners, said the issue of the Mine Workers
 Iournal, official publication of the in ternational union.
 All officials, including the head of ficers, members of the international executive board, organizers and field workers, according to the announce ment, "have volunteered to contribute l organization in order that they may share the burden of hardships with
 the membership of the union" The exact amount thus contributed was not announced, 1t being said that some of the officials work part time
 on a per diem basis. The total, how ever, was expected to come to several thousand dollars John l.. Lewis, as president of the union, receives 1 $o0066 a month, and Philip Murray, vice-president, and William Green, secretary, each receive $583.33. The salaries, 1t was explained at
 the unions headquarters, will remain
 in the general fund of the organiza |
 many calls for relief, but maintains only one fund for all expenditures of
 the union.
 'It has long been the cry of some
 people" said the Mine Workers
 Journal, that regardless of whether the membership worker or not the salaries of the officers went on as usual Such talk is indulged in solely for the purpose of creating distrust of the officers in the minds of the membership. Their voluntary action, however, in contributing their entire salary for July should go far to dis sipate such impressions and prove that the officials feel a deep, sincere interest in the we'll being of the rank and file of the membership"
 Union headquarters estimated that not less than I5o,oOo union miners in the country are out of work and that many thousands more work one 10 three days a week. Hundreds of mines, throughout the country, are closed and others are working short time because of the slack demand for coal, il was said.

them with mild, harmless salts
which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital Importance Of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take tablespoonful IN glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon

ALICE BRADY FORSAKES
SMART SOCIETY DRAMA

After five years of successful star
ring in society dramas, which have
ranged all the way from tense emo
tionalism to high comedy, Alice Brady
has temporarily, at least, forsaken the
drama dealing with the smart set
and will be seen in series of at least
three dramas of humble life.
The first of these, "The Land OF
Hope" a collaboration. by Frederick
and Fannie Hatton and Robert Mil
ton, presents the popular star in the
role of a Polish immigrant girl who
seeks her fortune. in America, along
with little company of people from
her native town, including her child
hood sweetheart
The young lovers think all their
troubles will end when they reach
America, and that they will quickly
earn enough to enable them to marry
But alas for their optimism, they have
many difficulties, ESTABLISHMENTS
and Observation-Disclosures before they
gain a firm foothold on the new soil,
and win happiness together
The role of the Polish youth is
ably handled by Jason Richards, who
played juvenile lead with Frank
Bacon In 4ightnin'" for two years
but resigned to devote himself to pic
ture acting. Others in the cast in
clude Ben Hendricks, Jr, Schuyler
Ladd, Larry Wheat, Betty Carsdale,
