Berlin. April 30.
! The Stock Exchange has been ir-
fiuenced in a spectacular manner by out
| side political rumors. The news of the
Russo-German treaty sent German ex-
change and securities upward effectively
despite minor, pessimistic rumors tend

gre doing some real buying in Germany
and by making much noise about it have
created an expectant atmosphere in
Germany's industry. The Soviets have
ever 1000 agents in Germany occupied
with commercial transactions.

dollar slump resulting from the re-
cent action of manufacturers in reducing
their dollar reserve for the purchase Of
raw materials abroad through the fear
OF impending trade depression.
| With orders coming in and prospects
| for much business in the next six
months manufacturers are again buy
ing dollars. Every one expects an
erentful crisis, but it is not likely to
come in the immediate future as many
have predicted.
Banks throughout Germany are build
ing larger offices. They have acquired
much real estate and they have more
ready money for building than for
other enterprises. The Dresdener Bank
now proposes to build a skyscraper in
the center of Berlin. The Disconto
Gesellchaft is building skycraper in
Unter- den Linden.
The Goerz Chemical Works show high
quotations as the result of large Japan
ese and American orders. Despite the
explosion at the Oppau Chemical Works
and the foreign customs barriers, the
German chemical industry continues to
thrive. The disaster reduced the Oppau
output to one-fourth of what it was
in 1921. but at the beginning of this
year the factory resumed production.
The Leuna works. which in 1921 showed
a full output of nitrates and chemicals.
reduced it's production only recently
because of a shortage Of coke. Other
chemical works also are handicapped
by the coal shortage.
German farmers are anxious lest their
crops diminish because of a shortage
of fertilizer. Dye concerns. however,
are making large profits, and the prin-
cipal works. notably the Hiechst Bay
ern and Baden works, show profits
averaging between 20 and 80 per cent.

firms keep two sets of account books,
of which one is for the tax collector.
the real profits are presumed to be
much greater.
The Grisheim Chemical Works sold
three patents to America for over s50-
100000 and will also participate in the
profits made in America.
The coal output in the Ruhr Valley.
both hard and soft, now equals the
peace time production. The production
of hard coal in March amounted to the
same as the production in 1918. Inferior
mine upkeep and reduced individual
output is offset by an increase in the
number of miners.

GETTING TOGETHER

In Missouri, as in many other states
Of the union, there has at times been
apparent an attitude of mutual Jealousy
and suspicion between the large cities
and the counties or rural districts. Such
condition is always regrettable, for the
best welfare Of the state as a whole and
of every part Of the state can be served
only by cooperation and mutual consid-
Grafton.
Al the present time, when the date ap.
proaches for the revision of the funda.
mental law Of the state, it is especially
desirable that any aniagonism which may
have existed between the cities and the
rural districts be forgotten.
In framing the new constitution, fire..
quent conflicts Of opinion are likely to
arise between the representatives Of the
city districts and the rural districts II
the delegates will remember that their
duty is to consider the welfare Of the
stale as whole and not to favor 1.-The
special interests either Of the cities or Of
the country, there should be no difficulty
in settling these differences to the salts.
faction of all.
Not only in the drafting Of the consti.
tuition but in other important matters, such
as the development of highway system
and the improvement Of the schools, is
cooperation and understanding between
the rural and urban districts essential.
The sentiment which should prevail in
dealing with all these questions is no.

MOVIES FOR THE CHILDREN


In the last year hundreds Of parents
have asked the Society for Visual Edu'
cation 10 exercise a film censorship to
help parents decide what pictures their
children should see. Many have urged
the society 10 become a national adviser
in this respect. 4 special department
would be necessary in the organization it
it was to pass upon pictures as they are
released. The demand has become so
insistent that the officers of the society
feel that it must be met.
This interest on the part Of parents
is like cool breeze in July. 1t is hope
full sign Of the times. For when mothers
and fathers are interested in good pic
lures for their children to the extent that
they ask for specific advice and censor
ship, stagnant conditions will get vio-
lent stirring. When the public demands
clean pictures for its children, it is pretty
sure that it is in fair way TO getting
them.
Pictures have at tipes in the past been
made with the child in mind. Crown-ups
enjoy these pictures. They have attend
ed them am are enthusiastic about them.
1t seems thai it could b made a CONNER

a spiritually beneficial one were pictures

THE NEW BOOKS
Daniel Boone.

The life story of great man is always
interesting. but the tale Of one Of the
earliest pioneers Of the great West is
fascinating. H. Addinsion Bruce has
herein given US in 'Dsniel Boone and the
Wilderness Road" a story Of great ma.
tinal figure. We are told Of the trials
and hardships Of wilderness life, fights
with the Indians, the simple joys and
great sorrows Of that leader Of civiliza-
ton.
He is portrayed in this volume as a
man Of few literary attainments but one
who was capable of appreciating the
good and beautiful in all things. His
tastes were simple and his manners rude,
but his brain worked with fineness and
clearness much to be envied.
This book is more than history or
even a biography, it is an epic tale Of
one Of the greatest figures in the history
of the Middle West.
