REcovERY OF EXCHANGE.

The mystery of exchange, it is feared will never be
made plain to the ordinary person. A least not plain
enough SO he viii understand it There are those who
rufess to know the why's and wherefores, but they
have never yet been able to satisfy the ordinary per.
son that they even knew what they were talking about
Take Canadian exchange which has Just dropped to
less than two cents. Two years ago Canadian dollars
were worth across the line 17h cents less than their
face value, and pessimists were IN a state of semi
panic. They said there WIS no telling where the dis
count might soar-it might jump to 25 or 80 or 40
per cent. And in any case, according even to con-
servative authorities It would be years and years be-
fore Canada could expect her funds to be accepted at
anything near par by her next-door neighbor. But
the discount never exceeded 17h per cent and while
since the first of this year suddenly collapsed to al
most normal figures.
Explanations of the recovery Of the Canadian dol
Hr now are about as vague as were the explanations
of its degradation two years ago. Then Canadians
were told that it was a matter of exports and imports,
that if they wanted to re-establish the Canadian dol
far they must stop buying in the United States. II
they protested that before the war they were also buy
ing more from the United States than they were sell
being discounted, they inspired a long technical ex-
PLANTATION that might or might not sound convincing.
They did stop buying to some extent but still the
discount SCARED. Then other authorities declared the
trouble was not in adverse balances in tradep at all,
but a matter of deprecated currency and that the
Canadian dollar would never be itself until we got
back to a gold basis" It would be stimulating to
karn that the gold basis" has been SO soon achieved.
A BUY in Canada movement was promoted and
did some business and the emergency tariff on the
cthe- hand did some business too. The figures for
1921 show exports to the United States reduced bv
1925, 900, 900 and imports from the United States less
by 5000 900.

SKINNY ON YOUR OWN SIDE.

The Cowiey Progress is not pleased to have Demo
Gratis come over into the Republican camp and select
party candidates for it and says so in no uncertain
language. Recently the Lowell Chronicle raised the
banner for Joseph Neville as a candidate for the next
legislature. The Chronicle is a Democratic newspa-
per and Mr.. Neville is a Republican This is what
The Progress has 10 say about it:
"our friend Leedom, who prints a democratic pa
Der at Lowell, when he thinks the signs are right, from
a financial point OF view, is meddling with Republican
politics just enough to wish Joe Neville of Byron onto
US at this time by boosting him for the lower house Of
the legislature. This, of course, in in recognition Of
the noble (?) fight Neville waged against the carbon
industry in the last session. OF course such work
must be rewarded. And Neville may be depended up
OF to double-cross the friends that have stood by him
in every election that he has ever run for office IN.
The fact is, and Neville knows II, that he never would
have gotten anywhere had it not been for the big vote
Cowley has always given him. His Owl precinct never
supported him except half heartedly. He knows that
he would never pull another vote from Cowiey as long
as the people are in their right senses. But go the
limit Leedom. The influence of a Democrat of the
Leedom variety cuts mighty little ice when boosting
Republican candidates. The very fact that he is do
ing that is proof positive that he has Interior motives
in doing that kind of business.
'Fcr Leedom's information, wen say the Repub-
LEANS are not asking his advice or assistance in run
ming the campaign-we are perfectly able to attend to
that ourselves, especially since he doesn't know what
candidates the Republicans want for the various posi-
tons. Hands of, Leedom. Be good"

TIE HONEST CHORUS GIRL-

"At a time when the theatrical profession Is I'M
stage,' remarks the Brockton Times, "there is a sort
of moral braeer in two bits of news from New York
City. One is the eloquent defense of stage people
made by Mr.. Brady, theatrical producer, IN a church
pulpit where his profession had been assailed, en-
rhasizipg the small number of actors ever convicted
of crime. The other is a little story told in an account
of the hard luck the profession is having this season.
There are said to be $4,000 chorus girls in the metrop-
oils out of work. Mostly they keep up a brave front,
even while starving. Theatrical boarding houses trust
them for meals as long as they can. Fourteen such
boarding houses have gone broke this season. The
last one suffering this fate is one conducted by a for
mer member of a burlesque chorus. She Is confident
that all the girls who owe her money will pay her
back when they are able. 4 have trusted chorus girls
for twenty years. she says, and have lost but So, and
that was because the girl who owed it to me was killed

THE WORLDS GREATEST DEBTOR

when George Jones, out in California, borrowed
300 for three months, at 10 per cent interest to be
compounded monthly" relates the Boston Transcript.
The probably had no intention of becoming the worlds
greatest debtor. But he failed to pay the debt and
now, after the lapse of a quarter of a century, a Cali
lorna judge finds, with the aid of two expert account
ants, that Mr.. Jones owes to Henry r. Stuart. of
whom he borrowed the money, the sum of $500. $40
332,912,6s5.16. 1t would appear that under the Cali
fornia law, the claim of Mr.. Stuart for his hundred
collars and accrued interest duly compounded is good.
II ne can collect it, the money is his.
Gould the worlds greatest debtor DISCHARGE his oh
legations, his creditor would not only own the Garth.
but he would be the proprietor of much Of the rest Of
the universe. The national wealth of the ITrited
