RAIN AND DROUTH

The waters piled in my front yard,
all kinds of water, soft and hard, and
still the rain comes stopping down,
and saturates the weary town. The
rain against the window beats, and
catfish throng the village streets, and
even frogs and ducks are tired; they
have more rain than they desired. And
while the days so wildly wet, | read
the Gophertown Gazette, the old
home paper that has brought for years

back in Gophertown, it seems, all
dried up are the babbling streams;
there is no water in the wells; parch-
ing population yells for just a little
slice of rain, and all its yelling is in
vain. No rain clouds gather in the
sky, the river beds are dusty dry,
while fish sit up along the brink and
gasp for something fit to drink. The
weather should reform; why does it al
ways send storm where there should
be a cloudless sky. and send drouth

the 16 banks have been restored to some degree
of stability The government treasury is empty,
with little prospect of receiving considerable
sums due from the principal banks. In spite of
this situation Gen. Crowder found a Cuban
budget calling for an expenditure of $136 100000
for 1922 following the spending of approximate
ly $160,000,000 in the preceding year. The
American administrator has served notice that
the budget must be trimmed to $6OOOO,0O0.
'The political disorders from which Cuba has
suffered followed the attempt of President Memo
cal to dominate the elections of 1920, being
barred himself by a constitutional provision pro-
hbiting any president from serving three terms
in succession. With thousands Of electoral con-
tests pending, the courts imperative and bust
ness tied up by moratorium, the island was vir-
tually bordering on chaos when Gen. Crowder
arrived. The political situation has been rem
edied and the movement to limit expenditures
to receipts is rapidly taking FORM
banking law will curb dangerous economic sit
uation and the Cuban congress has shown a
readiness to carry out Crowder's wishes in en-
acting necessary business legislation.
Zone of Cubas chief weaknesses has been
the fact that it is a one-industry country, the
planters growing sugar to the virtual exclusion
of every other product. The cane growers sit
uation also has been far from satisfactory, as
conditions have permitted the mill owner to dis
pose of the sugar as he wished, permitting the
grower no voice in handling the product paying
him nothing on receipt of the cane at the mill
and ignoring claims which banks or merchants
might have had on the raw cane for loans adj
vanced earlier in the season. With this state OF
affairs remedied and the industry reduced to Il
sound business basis which will permit profit
somewhat higher than the two-cent margin
which prevailed before the war, Cuba should en-
ter period of reasonable prosperity. In this
event Gen. Crowder will deserve to rank with
other American military men who have achieved
great success in solving the delicate problems Of
Latin America"

LONDON, March 13.-"Mary' is be-

in the British Isles, say the organizers
of the fund for the presentation Of

no collecting centers were formed but
the organizer of perhaps the poorest

said the greatest enthusiasm was
shown by the Marys living there.
In rural district just outside Lon

Gen. Crowder's Task in Cuba

directed the cleanup campaign in Cuba which
stamped out the yellow fever and other diseases
and made it healthful place in which to live" )"
says the indianapolis Star. 'The island is now
undergoing a financial rehabilitation under the
supervision of Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, who
eventually will make the island a healthy place
in which to do business. The rapid descent from
the heights of undreamed prosperity to the
depths of financial decentralization resulted from
the initiation of the sugar market and its unex-
pected slump after the war, collapse which also
affected number of big American houses carry
ing heavy load of the high-priced product.
Cuban producers of sugar were receiving a
little less than two cents pound for their staple
in the summer of 1914 They were getting 25
cents in the spring of 1920. Most of them re-
fused to accept slight reduction when a sales
commission was formed to take up all the Cuban
product and many held their stocks for an in
crease to 80 cents pound. The result of the
unexpected prosperity was an orgy of spending
such as the island never had known. Every
avenue of business was affected by the period of
initiation. The collapse of the sugar market car
ried everything else with it, the banks generally
closing their doors as they became involved in
the crash.
Gen. Crowder has been called upon to per-
form the twofold mission of reviving the banks
and of preventing veritable civil war over the
succession to the presidency. Thus far four of
