Even the conductor was interested
''Yeh," he said to a man near him,
its surprising how those kids get

they let them go down to the museums

there were three other boys on this

The two boys were having trouble

WARNS OF RED DISCUSSES

Brigadier General Amos Fries, chief
Of the division of chemical warfare,
u. S. Army, Mason and patriot, warns
Americans of the dangers lurking in
apparently innocent clubs and socie-
ties, the very members of which are
unaware of the sinister purposes be-
hind their organization and the way
In which they are used for the spread
ing OF red propaganda.
In an address before a congress of
Parent-T Teacher Associations. General
Fries says:
There are organizations today who
are working through women's clubs,
mems clubsa fraternal, religious, labor
and other bodies to teach cimmunist
doctrines. A number are operating
under the guise of organizations for
the reduction of ornaments or the
abolition of war, They do not ordi-
narily admit that they aim at COM
munism and the destruction of modern
government"
General Fries quoted from a letter
from a woman official of an organi-
cation for world disarmament in which
she states: Il have no confidence in
anything short of revolution, peaceful
by all means if possible. bloody if nee
essary, in every land, resulting in the
establishment of the communist idea,
in some form, to. do away with war"
Mote that while this woman is
talking about world disarmament she
advocates bloody revolution IL nee
essary to put her communism in force"
said General Fries.
"Those who want to live in that
style should work for communism
he continued. but those who desire
to live as Americans should fight ev-

the family and to make common prop

I'VE all learn to speak glibly of

They all have their ultimate aim, the

PROSPERITY AND HIGH PRICES
NOT RELATED

The Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World is an international organi-
cation representing the best and most
progressive element modern bust
ness. Its president, Mr.. Charles Henry
Macintosh, says that the relation of
prosperity and high prices is fictitious,
and that it is perfectly possible for
the country as whole to be extremely
prosperous in an era of low prices.
IF high prices meant prosperity
Russia would be the most prosperous
country in the world today" said Mr.
Macintosh. Yet in Russia, where it
costs two thousand rubles to mail a
letter first class, men starve who have
money but no food to buy with it."
Economists in the government serv-
ice point out that the height or low
ness of price cannot be measured in
terms Of money unless the worth of
the monetary unit is also made a part

of the measurement. Thus, a German
mark, once worth about twenty cents,
is worth a fraction of a cent. An OBJ
ject once to be bought for one mark
now costs two hundred marks, yet the
value of the object and It's relative
price is the same. Only when price in
creases faster than the value Of the
purchasing unit sinks can absolute
price be said to rise. Disparity in
price of goods and price of money is
frequently caused by too rapid rise or
fall Of commodity prices. which is the
fundamental underlying Mr.. MacIn-

the return of war time prices or expect
the lower limit OF the price decline

wasn't time to eat yet.
Then Miss Ryerson got us all in a
circle and showed us how to do a
ceremonial dance, and a war dance,
and some kind of a sun dance. They
were very queer dances, but fun to
do. And being out there in the coun-
try we could yell all we wanted to
when we were doing war dances.
After that we scattered and gath
cred wood and made a fire, just like
real Indians, to cook our supper. We
hadn't brought along regular picnic
truck-lettuce sandwiches, hardboiled
eggs, and that sort of stuff. We had
bacon and wieners and rolls for max
ing our sandwiches. We made coffee,
too. And we fried eggs in with the
bacon. We had brought along potato
chips and pickles and olives.
of course we ended up by toasting
gobs OF marshmallows in the nice
Goals. We had fixed long. pointed
sticks for roasting the wieners, and
these we used for the marshmallows.
We spread out our blankets close
to the FIRE and sang a lot. A couple

reduce the COS OF dairying from
20 to 80 per cent A reduction of
90 per cent woul mean saving of
SO $3.50, 900 to the farmers of the
Canadian West.
Dairying has made rapid strides
in the last few years. Most o. tie
small farmers in the diversified
farming region along the trans
continental LIKES of the Canadian
National Railways have dairy
herds. This rolling. lightly tim
bered country. where good land can
be obtained for $50 70 $50 an acre,
is being rapidly settled and dairy
ing is building substantial pros
perity for the new citizens. To
these small formers the pit silo
commends itself by its cheapness.
For farmers who can not afford the
more expensive types of silo, the
pit silo solves the winter feeding
problem.
The value of the dairy output IN
the three prairie provinces last
year was S56,0O0,000. Tie cost Of
production was at least SIS per ant,
leaving a profit of S8,5OO,000. If
the cost were reduced 20 per cent
an increased profit of more than
$9,500,000 you'd be realized.
