eminent

Wasaw, May 21.-fBy The Associ-
ated Press).-Sixty-five per rent of
Poland's national debt is owed to the
United States, according to the first
budget of the new republic. The Pol
ish debt to America totals S1S3, OOO,-
600. In 1921. foreign debts to the
amount of 7.0OO,O00,O0O marks were
repaid.
Although the new budget of Poland.
like that of every other country of
Europe, shows a deficit, it reveals also
a state revenue covering 90 per cent
of the expenditure as against 80 per
cent in 1921 and only 10 per cent in
1920.
The local press predicts a fair pros
pect of a budget balance during the
current year and if this is accomplished
a state bank will be established and a
new national currency issued to re-
place the present artificial currency
wished on the country during the Ger
man occupation.
Two ministries of the government
are already without a deficit, those Of
trade and commerce and agriculture,
the latter running a profit in 1921 of
l., 000, O00, 900 marks.

Picking, May 21.-Japanese military

Chinese guards have replaced about

Thus history is reversing itself in

Suicide Is Verdict
of Coroner's Jury Over
Death Of

Bozeman, May 21.-The %coroner's
jury appointed to investigate the death
Of A.. V. d. Dollenmeyer at Three
Forks brought in a verdict that he
came to his death from drinking poison,
with suicidal intent. The evidence
showed that an attempt had been made
to burn the Dollenmeyer home on
Tuesday night. An alarm clock con-
nected by a silk thread with a rom
trivance that started a fire inside a
trunk was found. Paper ups filled
with kerosene and connected by flash
powder were in close proximity. The
discovery Of the fire before the evil
dence Of incendiarism could be de-
stroyed led to the establishment of
these facts. DOllenmeyer returned to
his home the day after the fire and his
body was found in the debris on the
day following. The chemistry depart
ment of the Montana State college con-
Quoted the examination of the stomach
Of the dead man and this report was
that death was due to poison.

had fallen TO 80 per cent. While farm
prices had Debated to the last cent.
the prices of other commodities were
still far above the pre-war levels
Since last December the farmers pur-
chasing value has risen to 81 per cent
Of the 1913 standard. He has been
coming back at the rate Of 2 per cent
a month.
The increase in the farmers pur-
chasing power is attributed to two
things: The increase in the prices of
farm products and a further decrease
in the prices of other commodities.
Hogs Big Factor In Wealth
An upward swing in the cost of
foodstuffs may be expected in retail
markets should the trend of prices on
the farm continue. The increased re-
tail prices, however, should not be
great.
Indications are that the farmers
prosperity will be enhanced this year
not only by the increased prices, but,
in some particulars. by increased bulk
of products. An illustration of this
tendency is shown in returns covering
the number Of brood sows on farms

aren't the only things love laughs at
in this town.
The first aero lighthouse and the
biggest ship in the world made their
appearance in this busy week. The
lighthouse is a high-pOwer searchlight
which throws a bright beam straight
into the sky from College point ID
Flushing bay. 1t is first of a series
of aero lighthouses which are to be
built along the air route from New 1ork
to Chicago to make night flying easy.
AS a matter of fact. you can see Man
haitian by airplane these afternoons by
taking passage on an alrb0at at the
riverside drive airport. Planes are
about as thick around here as taxis.
From Half Moon to Majestic
The Majestic, the biggest of ships.
came beautifully up the bay and made
two city blocks look very small indeed,
as her great hulk of $4,000 tons swung
into the White Star dock. She's so
big that you wouldn't believe it unless
YOU had a look at her, and SO graceful
that to look at her is an inspiration.
A far cry this, from the Half Moon
of Henry Hudson.
Such a little thing as a clam, aided
and abetted by an oyster, has upset
plans for a boulevard to the Rocka-
ways. The boulevard newly under con-
struction had started smoothly across
Jamaica bay when it ran into clam and
oyster beds. The beds have been rent
ed to various oyster men and the re-
suitant tangle is such that the city,
borough and state are at their wits
end to find a way of making the BIZ
valves move their beds elsewhere.
Another thing: You can't be too
careful to whom you give the freedom
of the city. A Young man who nswer
TO the name of Jack Ayres was ar
rested for following a young
and ~accosting her. It's all right
he said when they arrested him. Ma
yor Ilylan gave me the freedom of the
city"
The magistrate decided. however.
that Ayres had not been granted S o
much freedom as he had taken and the
young man was given time in jail to
reflect on the now obvious fact that
freedom isn't liberty.
The case of three Brooklyn finan-
ciers is also worth considering. One
of them. aged II. stole three $50 lib
erty bonds from his father and started
out to see the world. He gave the
bonds TO a playmate. aged 13, who gave
them in turn TO a boy of 16, who prom
Used to sell them. Note the enterpriS-
ing spirit of the typical New York lad
The boy of 16 got SAP for the bonds
but told the ~13-year-old he had got

Basis Of National Prosperity
The markets continue on the upward
trend and as the farmers prosperity
forms a basis for industrial and ma
tional prosperity, this is highly bene-
fetal.
Here are some of the things that
compare between prices now and prices
six months ago: /: Wheat has risen
from SLOT to $1.44 a bushel and is
still rising. Corn has gone up from
~ to 63 cents a bushel, a Is per cent
rise. Cotton was selling in December
at around II cents a pound; today it is
~fluctuating around the 21-cent mark.
Hogs have risen from S7.25 TO 5000,
a climb of more than 40 per cent.
Wool values have shot up within the
last 30 days. Sheep and cattle have
failed to keep step, but even those
values are OH the increase.

the Chilean-Peruvian conference here

The request, embraced in a long
note, setting forth the Bolivian posi-

Peruvian delegations here by Adolfo
Ballivian, the Bolivian minister, and
Alberto Gutierrez, former Bolivian
foreign minister and an unofficial OBJ
server here for his government.
Neither Chilean nor Peruvian spokes-
men would discuss the move, pending
consultation with their governments,

just been completed. The figures show
an increase of IL per cent, or more
than 100000 animals in excess of the
number a year ago.. This is interpreted
as meaning the farmers will raise at
least 100000 more hogs this year
than they did last. With hogs top
ping 10 cents a pound. this one item
alone will add approximately $780,
100000 to the farmers income.
Bank Deposits Increase
Other figures of the week received

tlnuance of business revival. Deposits
