Ignorance of the law IS no 'eXcuse for breaking 1t, and yet some of our laws are so conpIi cated that 1t would take a Phila- delphia lawyer who for some reason is supposed 10 be brighter than other lawyers, to keep track of them.

CAUSES OF THE
 PRESENT HARD TIMES


 The situation so fer as 1t re- gards agriculture, and 1t is az ricuiture which has been hard est hit, may be summarized in 3 few words:
 The poverty of Europe has seriously crippled the market for our. goods. The latest figures sMe have on the depreciation Of 1Nseign money show that the English pund, formerly worth S4.S6, Americaa Raoney, is now worth only S3d Tre French franc, with a3s war value Of 19 cents, worth only ' cents. The Has lira has de- clined from 6ants to 1 censs and the. Gerif1ssa mark from 24 cents to l 1-2 cents.
 We neeI men with a better un :. s.- -.s tsanding of agriculture on the Federal Reserve Board. We also nee a more consistent Fed- efal Reserve. policy, instead of an extremely lax pol icy one year followed by a severe on the next year,

Many merchants arc not coop .erating as they should .h meet ing the new situation. Trey were perfectly wiling to mark up goods on their sheves when war forced prices upward. Many are not willing, however, to mark own goods on their shelves. now that wars ending has foreed prices downward. Such action on the part of retailers is delaying buying and is also foolish be cause it is driving trade from re tai stores to mail order houses. The cotton farmer lost. cut in 1914 when war began, and now in 1921 he,has seen crop values cut 66 per cent. Retailers shoi, count up the extra profits th F. made in war tip1es and be wills ing to ahara same losses wit noW,

 During the war and when the sol diers were coming home,' he said, "tnere wasn't a song in the world which would reach the peoples hearts as quickly as Over There. You'd hear a little organ grinding it out on a side street and as the people passed they'd swing into step. Men in uni form, fathers, mothers, boys and girls through them. Their eyes would shine and generally you would see a tear or two go slipping down their cheeks. Then they'd drop something shiny into the tin cup. Generally it was a nickel or a dime or a quarter
 ''But the grinders don't play Over There any more. It isn't good for even a few pennies nov. The people have for gotton.''
 The most remunerative sections of the town for the hurdy-gurdy men, the aged proprietor said, were where the ordinary American citizen lived He responds to music the quickest.
 Most of the people who are now in the organ business continued the owner, "are the old and crippled. On holidays, which are generally the best days and organ grinder som etiIneS makes s. But you must remember that this is not an average and that there are many days on which they take in nothing and that the organ is often the sole income of the family.

VETERAN RIVER CAPTAIN TELLS STORY OF THE
 BELLS OF THE OHIO

Bellaire, Ohio. July 21-"In the old days to have fine boat minus a special bell was like trying to run a circus without the elephants" said Captain Jeff Frame, wharfmaster at Wheeling, w. Va, telling about the Ohio River steamboats of q half cen tury ago.
 During the Civil War both armies took most of the good bells off the boats and junked them to obtain the copper content" Captain Frame con- tinued.
 Most of the bells of that time and for years afterward were made in. the shop of a. moulder named Kay, in Louisville, Kentucky, who was an ex- pert at fine toning. He came to the Ohio Valley from Scotland. He charg- ed one dollar a pound. He put into each bell a few ounces of silver.
 After the Civil War al the big Pittsburgh-Cincinnau packets had fine bells.
 "A number of fine bells were used for years on Southern plantations Others were sold by boat owners to schools and churches. The steamer Bedford, which sank at Marietta in 1898, !s still remembered for its fine bell. After the boat had been sal vaxed the bell was sold to the city of

MANHATTAN hAOURNS THE DEATH OF ONE OF ITS INSTITUTIONS IN THE PASSING TO
 OBLIVION OF THE ORGAN GRINDER

New York, July 21-New York City has aptly been called the wonder city of the world. But the metropolis contains an institution unique even in city where things unique are taken as a matter of course. It is hurdy- gurdy garage, believed to be the op1y one of it's kind in the country
 Nestled among the stupendous sky scrapers that mark the lower district of Manhattan is small, dingy, weather beaten building, strangely out of place among the surrounring palaces of business. This is the home of the hurdy-gurdy. Situated but a stones throw from the City Hall, in a small block called City Hall Place, and passed by thousands of the city's dwel1ers daily, the building has gone unnoticed for years.
 The hurdy-gurdy has long lent col or to the sidewalks of New York. For years it was a common sight to see the gay1y-dressed NeapoIitans trund- ling their organ into a crowded street and become the center of a crowd of children when the first strains of music came from the organ. The small ones would sway to the tunes of the Sidewalks of New York" the chorus of some popular song. Even the grown-ups would stop awhile and listen while the hurdy- gurdy man played some selection 1IOIn II ATONdlOTS or La IIlOcOn- da,' or perhaps some sentimental song which would bring a catch to the voice and tear to the eye. And when the song was finished the or ganist with a tambourine would pass among the crowd seeking his reward
 But all this will soon be a thing of the past, for the hurdy-gurdy, like the wooden Indian, the hoop skirt and the late-lamented five-cent beer, is slowly but surely passing to things extinct.
 '"The organ buisness is dying out,'' faid the silver-haired Italian propri- etor of the garage sadly, speaking through an interpreter. "The people don't seem to care about music the way they used to. The girls grow up about ten years younger than they used to. They dress up and go to still children. And then the passing
