Wellesley Hills, Mass. Dec, 10
There has been much discussion of
late as. to whether :, bonds have
reached the top. Robert ". Babson
evidently thinks not. In discussing
the situation today, he calls atten-
tion to the long swing bond cycle
and appears TO, have a hundred and
fifty years of financial history on his
side. ..--

day." says Mr. Babson, lis the
promise OF $50 a year for the next
twenty years, secured b. mortgage
bond. Just now this $50 will buy,
perhaps, suit OF clothes. In 1920,
it would have. paid only for the coat
and one armhole of the vest. We all
can remember wheEs it would have
bought two suits, as good as the one
it will buy now. Everybody is hop
ing for those old prices to come
back. And nothing is more likely
than that they will come back some
time within the next twenty years.
"Most Of US, judging from our own
experience, think Of 1920 commod-
ity prices as the 'high-for-alr time.
What we do not realize is that prices
have been as high three times be-
fore, at intervals of about fifty years
and that between the pealss,- each
time, they have touched levels as
low as in. 1896. While earlier statis-
tics have not been compiled, there
is data. enough to suggest that this
same swing from high prices to low
prices and back again, over long
periods, might be traced far back
into history

SALVATION ARMY ASKS
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS AID

The Bemidji corps of the Salvation
Army is now making its annual
Christmas appeal for funds to give
the poor of the city a Merry Christ
mas. The corps asks the public to
help as literally as in the days gone
by. All donations or money in the
kettle on the street corners will be
used exclusively for charity at this
time. The Salvation Army needs
the aid of the public in this project
and liberal response will be apprec-
lated.
Each year the Salvation Army at
Christmas time brings cheer to many
homes which might otherwise be
without the Christmas spirit and the
corps is to be commended upon the
project which has been undertaken
this year.

HARDlNGSEEKS
COUNSEL L.10DAY
Hopes to Ascertain the Best
Means to Prevent Economic
Crash in Europe
(By United PresS)

Washington, Dec. 16-President
Harding today sought the counsel Of
his most trusted advisors as to the
best means of intervention to pre-
vent the approaching economic crash
in Europe.
It is understood the President feels
encouraged by the favorable reaction
in European capitols to the news OF
American determination to prevent
a crash. In addition to frequent
consultations with his cabinet, he
dispatched a cable to American am
basadors abroad. In his forthcom-
ing conference with Harvey. the
President will seek his advice. He
will also talk with leading senators
including the "irreconcilables" in the
treaty fight and prominent leaders
in American tho1gnt.
Not since the dramatic days that
brought the great disarmament con-
ference here has Washington been
so tense to an anticipated move by
the government. It is believed that
the present contemplated action may
surpass the disarmament conference
in world Importance. The impress
sion continues to prevail in official
circles that another - international
conference would be called, but it
was believed final decision would
not be reached until after the con-
ference here with Harvey about JAN
uary 1st.

Believe Utmost Caution Should
Be Keynote of Americas
Course in Europe
PREUS DECLINES GIVING
ANY ADVICE ON PROJECT
Governors Opinions Seem to
Be That Problem Calls for
Best of Statesmanship

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.,-
Dec. 16. copyrighted 1922 by the
United Press )-Extreme caution
should be the keynote of Americas
course in considering the advisable
lty of intervening, financial or other
wise, into Europe's tangled affairs.
This represents in cross section the
views of number of the governors
in conference here concerning the
impending decision of the Harding
administration which is expected to
result in putting the United States
again into the role of the "Saviour
of Europe
"America should be careful not to
get into the position of Atlas carry
ing the whole world on its shoulder"
said Governor Sproul Of Pennsylvan-
.ita. "The problem is so intricate
and so far-reaching, that it is i'm
possible to discuss it intelligently or
wisely without study"
"No one can say offhand just what
should or should not be done by this
government, but we should be care
full"
Governor Preus of Minnesota said
that he was too poorly informed on
the essentials of the program of Eu-
ropean affairs, lnancial or political
to deliver a competent opinion as to i
what the United States should do, if
anything. "Some of the people of
my state" said Preus, "believe that
if all war debts are cancelled that
woul d take care of the situation, but
enabling Europe to resume paying
for American produce, l do not
know"
Governor Ritchie of Maryland de-
clined to discuss for quotation his
views, but said he found the belief
very strong among people with whom
he had talked that the reparations
question must be entirely revised be-
fore a lasting and equitable settle
ment of European difficulties would
occur. Whether the United States
should take the lead in bringing
about the revision, Richie said he
would not hazard an opinion.
ut is gigantic problem calling
for the best genius Of craftsmanship
to solve" said Governor Parker of
Louisiana. "The government at
Washington will no doubt act only
on compelling influence and after
the President and those with him
poets of the problem and assayed the
of American interven-
ton. The summons to Mr.. Harvey
to return to Washington for con-
ference is evidence that the people
of this country should have a deter
mining voice in settling on policy,
and doubtless the government will
do its utmost to pend it's policy to
their will"

PEDESTRIANS WARNED
NOT TO CUT CORNERS

= Many complaints have been made,
it is understood, about the cutting OF
corners and across private lots and
front yards and steps to stop this
violation Of the law will be taken
unless this practice stops at once.
A campaign was on last spring to
curb this habit and the cooperation
Of the school children and citizens
was given, which was productive Of
good results.
Residents are again up in arms and
seek protection. Trodden paths ac-
ross front yards are damaging to the
property and provoking to the prop
.rty owners. The law must be en-
forced, is the declaration of those
who have made complaint, and indi-
cations are that arrests will follow
where violations continue.
