OPERA THE BEST

Only fair houses greeted Ralph Dun
bars magnificent production of
"Robin Hood, last Saturday after
noon and evening. The company COM
prised 35 people, and their operating
expenses are about $500 per day ac-
cording to the manager.
The reason for the comparatively
small attendance is found in the fact
that the people of Glasgow and vicin-
ity did not know what the opera was.
In a conversation with Mr.. Ed. An
drews, an old friend of the Courier,
he said that it was made possible for
the company to stop here only by a
date at Grand Forks having been can
celled on account of a strike of musi-
clans and ushers. Stopping was an
experiment, helped along by the agree
ment of Mr.. Wharton to rent the Or
pheum, and as Mr.. Andrews says, they

Austrian Governments
Attempt to Control
Exchange Causes Panic
BY A. r. DECKER
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal)
Copyright, 1921

VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 24.-The
governments attempt to control
money exchange has caused a panic
among possessors of foreign cur
rency4 who fear that the order to
register their holdings means re-
ouisition. The exchange offices are
being besieged by crowds anxious to
dispose of their bank notes but the
majority of the holders are hiding
their dollars, francs and pounds or
are preparing to smuggle them out
side of Austria. The abrupt regis
tration order caused a heavy fall in
the value of foreign money the first
day.
Those Gin on the deal" are reaping
large profits because dollars which
were quoted at 5000 crowns each a
month ago now bring less than s.
coo crowns. It is suggested that
government agents are buying for
eign money. During the last two
years the printing presses have in
creased the output Of paper crowns
from a few million week to the
present rate of more than one bill
lion crowns a day. For the present
the presses are stopped and 1t is
hoped to give initiation three weeks
respite. Depreciation caused the
Austrians to invest in foreign ex-
change and now the scare produced
by the government taboo brought
heavy losses to the investors.
The action of the government is
said to have been due to despair at
not receiving the promised entente
credits which are withheld, although

Cream Production
Is Given Boost
In Decatur County

CAMBRIDGE, Ga. Dec. "a
Prospects for creamery development
in Decatur county are about to be
realized. In the summer, DR.. E. =.
Smith gave a barbecue in conjunc-
ton with the cambridge Board of
Trade on his plantation when the
farmers and II erchants assembled in
a creamery meeting. An expert
gave at this time q talk on cream
cry production. furthering the cause
by explaining that after cream had
been disposed of the skinned milk
left on hand from COWS was easily
worth hundred dollars to the farm
er as feed for his pigs, and that the
fertilizer (the best) from these cows
was worth $780,, and five calves at
$40 each would bring the years
realization from the five cows up
to $500.
Moultrie at that time offered to
accept sour cream from this county
but no definite steps were taken.
Tallahassee creamery has opened
negotiations through the local board
Of trade offering to buy all sour
cream with two cents per pound
over the Chicago market for butter
fat, and they offer this station an
unlimited market.
c. Z. Senter, traffic manager of
the G. F. & A, has assured the
secretary Of board Of trade that with.
in 35 days he will publish rates on

New York Principal
Free Gold Market
In All the World

MANCHESTER. Eng, Dec. 3D.
New York is the principal free gold
market, and all the world owes her
money, but London still remains the
worlds financial center This was
the keynote Of an address by o. r.
Hobson, financial editor Of the Man
chester Guardian, at a meeting of
the Manchester and District Bank
ers' institute.
Though Americas loans to Eu-
rope run into thousands Of millions
sterling, America has not yet learned
the art of foreign investment, Mr..
Hobson said, ''She is not able or
willing to lend to foreigners at rates
competing with London rates. Again,
despite the remarkable success Of
the Federal Reserve system, New
York has never yet been able to es-
tablish a proper discount market,
the smooth and economical working
Of which has done so much to popu-
Iarize the bill on London all over
the world.
although London has lost a GER
tain amount of business to New
York; through the general drift Of
the worlds wealth from east to wect
must continue to give New York far
greater prominence as a financial
center than she had before the war,
yet London's pre-war position has
not been very seriously affected, nor
need it be yet awhile" the speaker
went on.
Referring to the tendency among
banks to amalgamate, Mr.. Hobson
observed that high banking authori.
ties agreed that but for this con-
Ssolidation movement, British banks
would not have been able to weather
the slump. The inherent soundness
Of the British banking system, he
concluded, had stood the strain and
no disaster had befallen it compar.
able to the collapse Of the Mercan-
tile Bank Of America. For the next
few years, the course Of British
banking, he predicted, would be
rather in the direction Of consoli.

MUSCLE SHOALS KEY
| follower PRICES

SHEFFIELD. Ala, Dec. 24.-The
greatest and most highly specialized
laboratory in the world. That is nj
trate plant No. 2 at Muscle Shoals.
On this the government spent $685.
4S3, 999.0S, exclusive Of expenditures
on the Wilson dam or water power
development.
This plant is today ready for op-
Grafton. It was operated for short
period before the armistice. In it's
storage bins are still 100 tons Of
nitrates manufactured for war ex-
plosives.
But for three years it has stood
idle. 5
The entire plant, buildings and
equipment are useful only for one
purpose-production Of ammonium
nitrate.
In war time this nitrate, contain
ing 33 per cent pure nitrogen, is
an essential in manufacturing high
explosives.
But in peace time the same plant
could supply the necessary nitrogen
content for fertilizer sufficient to
enrich 100000 acres of land an
nuallyl
Government operation of the plant
has been blocked on the ground
that it would be paternalistic, would
put the government into competition
with private industry.
Thus, while farmers have been
paying high prices for fertilizers or
letting their land go without and
| city workers have had to pay top
| notch prices for foodstuffs, this $780,
| 100000 plant has been accommodating
| dust and cobwebs.
Why Ford Steps In
It is because of this situation that
the great mass Of the people see in
the offer Of Henry Ford to lease
the nitrate plant, along with the
Muscle Shoals power development,
real opportunity for the public to
benefit.
Fords offer Of 100000 for a
plant which is now white elephant
| on the governments hands, is the
smallest factor. The big factor from
the public viewpoint is that the
plant would be operated in the pro-
duction Of fertilizers and the out
put sold at prices to net more than
per cent.
The public, which owns the plant,
thus would receive in the lower
price Of it's product and presumably
in the lower price Of agricultural
products to the city consumer an
offset to the apparently trivial pur-
chase price. A high present sale
price may be far less desirable for
the public than a low price for the
plants output over a long term of
years.
The Ford offer, in addition to
guaranteeing capacity output of nj
trates for fertilizer uses also pro-
vides for keeping the plant ready
for production Of explosives in case
Of war.

LIBERTY BOND HOLDERS
NET TWO BILLION IN YEAR
BY CONDO

to 90 IL, and Victory notes from
81 and 95 to 100.
And during the year everything
else Of value-stocks, manufactured
goods, fuel, clothing, food, wages
ward as the process Of readjustment
prices. Bonds alone went up. There
is one chief reason for this, there
is no initiation in a Liberty bond.
Treasury officials believe the
bonds are going to rise still high
err; that every issue of Liberty bonds
is going to. cross par before next
Xmas.
While lack Of initiation is the
prime reason for the gain in the
value Of bonds, there are two Sec
ondary considerations, financial au-
thorities here say, which have con-
tributed greatly to the rise in quo
tations.
First Of these reasons is the quiet.
ing down Of business generally, its
shrinkage in volume, thereby re-
leasing funds for investment and en-
HANGING the value of government Sc
curities.
Inflow of Gold
Second is the drop in interest rate.
Since the first Of the year there has
been a heavy reduction all along
the line in the cost Of borroing
money. Lenders are not able today
to get the high rates they got a
year ago. The. gild-edge s per cent
bond at par is no longer seen, in
fresh issues. among the brokers'
wares, as it was early in the year.
In the realm of investment the mar.
ket has turned from a buyers to
a sellers market. The. buyer is
bidding now and he has to bid more
and more for the best security on
earth, the Liberty bond.
A third cause for the rise is the
torrent Of gold that has come to
this country since last New Years.
Nearly $700,000,000 is the unofficial
measure Of the gold imports. This
mountain Of gold has made money
easier, brought about a cut of from
fifteen to forty per cent in interest
rates and helped thereby to send
the value of Liberty bonds upward.
The greatest increase in marker
value has been given to holders of
the fourth loan bonds. OF these,
more than six billion dollars are out
standing. The rise in their quota
tions has added about $S00,000,O 900
to their market value since JAN
uary 1. The next main increase
comes to the holders of bonds Of
the second loan, converted and un-
converted. There the increase ap.
proximates 100000. Holders of
third loan bonds are 1926, 000,0 900
better off, in market value of their
securities, than they were the first
Of the year. Holders Of the first
loan bonds have benefited about
$40, 000, 900.

FINE WORK IS DONE
BY BAPT|STS IN CUBA

Despite the rather unsatisfactory
economic conditions prevailing on
the island Of Cuba, the missionary
activities of southern Baptists in the
island republic are moving forward
steadily and are showing remark
able results, according to DR.. B. D.
Gray, corresponding secretary and
executive head of the Baptist home
mission board. who has just returned
from a trip of inspection Of the
Cuban agencies of the board.
1.-THE financial conditions on the
island are not good" said DR.. Gray.
due to the fact that many of the
big financial institutions specialized
on sugar during the war period,
when it seemed that the product
would soar to 40 or so cents a pound.
There are thousands of tons of sugar
now on hand, with the price down
to 3 and cents pound, and the
dreams Of the speculative financiers
have gone glimmering.
''The distrust of the people for
the financial interests makes it more
difficult for the country to recover
it's economic balance, but I believe
the situation will be worked out.
despite this condition, our Bap-
fist work on the island is in good
shape, and is bringing encouraging
results. The Cuban-American college
in Havana is doing well, while the
school at Santa Clara City, under
of Miss Th,.icfinn
nett, of Georgia, and Miss Sowe1l, CT
| Alabama, is accomplishing great
things. The main Baptist church is
located in Havana, but there are
ten missions scattered through the
island, all under the direction OF
DIR. M. M. Mccall, a Georgia man.
An interesting and valuable feature
Of the mission activity is the work
of Rev. V. B. Clark, an itinerant
evangelist, maintained by the home
| board, who travels over the island
by motor truck during the dry sea.

He carries tent in which he holds
religious services. stopping at vari
Gus towns and doing great work

DR.. Gray expressed himself as
| greatly encouraged over the condi
ton Of the Baptist property in Ha.
vana, where the "Templo Bautista,' ~
or Baptist temple, as it is known
constitutes one of the most valuable
plants owned by any religious de-
| nomination. Located in the heart OF
| the city, it affords accommodations
for the theological seminary. quar-

NEW YORK, Dec. PA Christ
mas present of nearly one and three
quarter billion dollars has been laid
in the laps Of Liberty bond holders
by the year Of 1921.
Since the, first day of January,
Liberty bonds have risen in market
value an average of nearly nine
points for all issues. The lowest in
value, selling last New Yaer's at
"a, is selling today at approximately
at SO IL, the highest in value sold
last New Years at $3.50; it is sell
ing today at approximately $3.50.
Paradoxically, the lowest market
value bond of last New Years is
the highest in value this Xmas.
That is the bond Of the fourth loan.
The highest in market value last
year, the first loan bond, is selling
today at a lower price than any
other issue. The first has become
the last and the last first within the
space of the year.
r The foregoing quotations do not
take into consideration the Victory
loan. That issue was selling last
New Years at 81 and 95 for the
ga and 4 3-4 securities, respective
ly. Recently both securities crossed
par and are selling at Identical fig
ures. The increase in market price
adds $200,000,000 to the value Of
those securities over the counter.
There are outstanding at the pres
ent time more than fifteen billion
dollars in Liberty bonds and nearly
four billion dollars in Victory bonds.
Originally more than twenty mil
lion persons owned them.
Fewer Holders
Countless numbers Of the bonds
have been sold and resold, however,
especially the tax exempt bonds Of
the first issue, so that the number
Of persons holding Liberty bonds
today is materially less than it was
originally.
To the man who held on to his
bonds. however, 1921 has been more
than generous. The year started
with his holdings at the lowest fig
ure they had reached. The values
went still 1ower-though fractionally
in most issues-during the first few
months Of the year, then remained
stationary with almost imperceptible
fluctuations and slowly began to
rise.
They have been rising now for
the past six months. The bonds Of
the first loan have risen from $3.50
to $3.50; those Of the second loan
from IS to &c., those of the third

by The Associated Press.)eJugo
Slavia, for the first time in years, is
exporting foodstuffs. She is send
ing out every day enough hogs to
provide America with ham and
bacon for a week. OF the three
great household staples. butter,
cheese and eggs. she is also export

dance Of food may be judged by the
fact that the current price Of but

Bereft Of horses and live stock
during the war. the Serbians now
are actually exporting animals by
the thousands. They recently sold
10000 horses to the Greeks. The
countryside is swarming with sheep
and goats, for which it is difficult
to find q market. But pigs are the
prize product Of the kingdom. Every
farmstead has hundreds Of them. A
young sucking can be purchased
here for the price Of rabbit in the
United States.
All through the war Sci bIa had

her stocks Of wheat are so great
that she could return. her wartime

Her last crops have been among her
greatest. A pound loaf Of bread in
any part Of the kingdom costs three
cents. The coarse black bread that
during the war-trying years held the
nation together, is now only a mem
DRY. White bread and cake are the
daily ration even of the poorest.
The little Slav state has made a
truly remarkable recovery from the
war. Everywhere one sees great
abundance in all the necessaries OF
life, happiness and health among
the people, and a definite effort at
reconstructing the country.
The country's marvellous rehabiE-
tation may be set down as due prin-
cipally to the industry, common
sense and determination Of Lei
thrifty men and women; secondly, to
the absence of Bolshevism; thirdly,
to the immense moral impetus given
the population by America and other
generous neighbors in the days when
the country was destitute and tot

The aid given by such organiza-
