Hilda promised to marry

her plenty of hot buttered popcorn and
Christmas candy elephants In the
meantime. It was q strain on Hor-
aces slender allowance and 1t was not
always easy to get candy elephants,
but he succeeded on the whole.
There was something so nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did, and men too, for that
matter, which were so annoying.
When she rang up on the telephone
she did not say "Guess who's talking
now, Just guess" and disguise hel
voice. She always considered wheth

busy, and so did not have what some
considered a little joke.

rNpUsTRY,s WESTERN DRIFT.

iTTDRE is something interesting to all especially I'M
I'LL portant to men who dinner-pails:
The National city Bank of New York discovers that
1.-The manufacturing industry OF the United states "V
hogan along the Atlantic coast slowly moving toward
1.-The interior OF the where fuel and the bulk OF
manufacturing materials are produced
Fifty years ago two-thrds of the nations manufac-
ured articles were produced the eastern strip be-
ginning in New England and extending from there down
into Florida
Now that district produces less than half of the
country's manufactured goods
Each year the percentage of manufactured articles
produced in the east grows smaller
what will this lead to? Easy question to answer
The interior United States (the middle west) Is
destined to the great manufacturing center as 1t
now is the cener of production of materials es-
pecially food.
Most OF the gain in interior manufacturing has oc-
CURED in the Mississippi Valley and the states arou
the Great Lakes.
Ohio for instance turned s749 100000 Of manu-
featured goods in 1900 In 1920 this had increased
nearly six-fold. to s5,1o00oo,OOo
Michigan largely due giant auto industry. made

1920.
from $3.50 100000 nearly s2OoO.oooooo in the same
twenty-year period.
Two things have caused this westward movement OF
manufacturing. Both have to do with economy
The first is the desire to save expensive freight hauls
by turning materials finished goods close to
the localities where the materials are produced.
OF the shift of manufacturing is in
land values Manufacturing attracts congested popuI
latlon, which automatically increased land values.
AS the landlords levy becomes heavier it increases
manufacturing costs also the of living OF en-
pleyes
Similarly and a more important movement. the ten
dency is for out OF the cities and into
villages or open country, where land is cheap and
rents low for employees.
The evil however shadows Them for when they
move their industry virtually worthless land they
steadily increase in value in pro-
portion TO their iabors.
Rents and high land values probably the hardest
nuts TO crack in our whole system OF economies.

FORD REFUND EXILE.

response to the challenge Of the Treasury Depart

Washington to the Detroit Journal says
Henry Ford has never seen the book entitled The
Truth About Henry Ford he authorize its pub

and contained the direct statement that Mr. Ford
had refunded all his profits to he government,
amounting to s2sooo,OOo
The author stated in her preface book that she
wished to acknowledge gratitude Mrs. Henry Ford
from whom she had received most of her data. "she
personally helped TO and authentic
reformation" says the preface
Mr. Ford does not categorically deny the making Of
refund he simply that he did authorize tn,
statement. The records of the Treasury Department
after being thoroughly searched fail to show that any
such refund made.
It may have been what Mr.. Wilson would have
termed "a psychological refund" arising out Of the
pacihstic complex of the Flivver King
At all events this administration did not get It.

Sir: feel 1t my duty to call your
attention to two joint resolutions
proposing an amendment to the
constitution OF the United States, {"
the two resolutions in question be-
ing Senate Joint Resolution 81, and
House Joint Resolution 102.
Both of these resolutions are
practically of the same character,
and propose to amend the constitu-

permit Congress to levy a tax upon
the salaries "of all public officials,
federal as well as State. whether
elected or appointed to Office" as
well as upon all bonds and secur-

county or State authorities.
Impressed by the magnitude of
this proposition, am addressing
this letter to you for publication, in
order to ascertain not only your
views upon the propriety Of this
legislation, but to disseminate this
among the people.
Yours sincerely,

FOURTH CATTLE
CLUB UNDER WAY

Under the direction of the New
Castle County Farm Bureau, and the
Extension Department of the Uni
versity of Delaware. the fourth Boys
and Girls Pure Bred Dairy Cattle
Club, Of New Castle county is being
organized. A. d. Cobb. State Club
Leader. and r. o. Bausman, coun-
ty agricultural agent, are personally
directing the club.
At present there are about so boys
and girls enrolled in cattle clubs in
New Castle county. This is the
largest number Of dairy club mem
bers enrolled in any one of the ten
eastern States.
AS soon as the enrolment in the
club is complete, County Agent r.
o. Bausman will personally select
a carload of pure bred heifers and
be responsible for each member re-
ceiving a high class dairy animal.
Every member is required to own his
own heifer and be responsible for
her. This feature is made possible
through an agreement with local
banks.
Keen competition is always in evil
dence at the club shows held in the
fall. Champion heifers are taken to
the State Fair and club members
consider It a rare honor to have their
animals form a unit of the Farm Blu
reau and County Agent exhibit at the
State Fair.
Results obtained with many of
these club heifers could be object
lessons for many of the practical
dairymen of the county.

John Brophy. president OF Dis.
trict No. 2. United Mine Workers of
America. disputes the Governments
estimate that bituminous miners
made an average annual wage last
year of 1887. He says the earnings
of union workers in the great coal
mining region of Central Pennsyl-
vania averaged an actual $3.50 in
1921. or s14.60 a week. Buff II his
figures are right because, as he de-
clares. there was scarcely more than
two days of work a week to the
man, they show that the wage scale
and the whole soft coal mining sys-
tenn are emphatically wrong.
OF what use to the union workers
is a sly-high wage scale that gives
them low-water earnings? In the
intensely competitive soft coal fields,
the non-union miners at a lower
scale averaged much higher earn
ings than Brophy's union men
earned, because the non-union
mines could give their labor more
work. The noD-union mines could
give their labor the work because
they could sell their coal. They
could sell their coal because at the
lower costs OF mining it they could
put 1t on the market at lower prices
than the union mines at their higher
costs of mining could put their coal
on the Market
But, when all is said and done,
the mere recital Of these facts offers
no solution of the persistenly grave
coal problem which harnesses the ma
ton year after year, generation after
generation.

Dis1upters at Genoa
CFrom the New York Tribune)

Premier Poincare said yesterday
that IL the French delegation at
Genoa could not go ahead with it's
work under the agreed conditions
France would reluctantly Withdraw
from the conference. The crises"
which fiji the Genoa dispatches have
arisen chiefly from efforts to annul
the limitations laid down by the
inviting powers. II was decided in
advance that discussion of existing
treaties and of German Preparations
should be barred But there has
been a persistent effort to drag in
these forbidden subjects.
Germany and Russia sought TO
amend the Versailles Treaty by kill
ing that section of It by which Ger
man Preparations to Russia. IL any,
should go into the Allied reparation
fund. This brought on the first
"crisis." The two outlaw nations
were clearly the offenders against
harmony. Germany was accordingly
exiled from the commission dealing
with Russian settlements. The ten

by saying: THE undersigned ex-

The Coal Mine Problem
tFrom the New York Herald.)

What the coal mines need, union
as well as non-union. is a chance to
do business on a reasonable basis.
What the miners need are steady
Jobs at square days pay for a
square days work, six days In the
week and ffty-two weeks in the
year, less adequate vacations. What
the country needs is a constant and
adequate supply of coal at prices
that will permit the industries of the
North, South East and West to
use It.
None of this is possible as a con-
tiDuous operation and stable system
under the present chaotic conditions
of the bituminous mining industry.
But all of IT can be made possible
and Il can be made workable
through a complete reorganization
Of the industry, with the mines of
the principal coal districts grouped
into a few great holdings under ex-
perienced competent private owner
ship, their operating costs region
ally standardized, the rich mines
helping to carry the poor mines, the
owners, the workers and the public
getting fair treatment, all under
Government sanction and regula-
ton.
The longer such a permanent and
nationwide settlement of the dis
turbing and dangerous coal mine
troubles is delayed, the greater be-
comes the chance Of naturalization
of the mines, with all the political
abuse and scandal that indelibly
stamp business undertakings into
which the Government blunderingly
enters.
