From Burke In Three
Wars

The Burke Mt. Club House was
filled on the evening of Memorial
day, when q beautiful bronze tab
let, a memorial to the soldiers OF
the town of Burke in three wars
was dedicated. The exercises open
ed with a selection by the local
orchestra, H. D. Webster, cornet /;
John w. Kelley, violin; Mrs. j. w.
Kelley, piano; P. S. Harris, from
bone. Prayer was offered by the
pastor, Rev. S. G. Suitor. There
was a vocal solo by Margaret
Godding.
Elmer A. Darling, who present
ed the club house to the town or
Burke and also the tablet, presd-
ed. The address of the evening
was by Rev. Chauncey Adams of
Danville. The tablet was unveil-
ed by Pearl Roundy, great grand
daughter of Riley Roundy of West
Burke, veteran of the civil war,
who was present. Miss Roundy
sang very appropriate song for
the occasion composed by Miss
Myrtle Aldrich of West Burke.
Riley Roundy, Royal Eggleston,
Mr. Gilfillan and E. II. Wells, the
only survivors of the 1903 Civil
War veterans, whose names were
on the tablet were present. Rev.
E. w. Sturtevant Of Lyndon was
present and spoke.
The tablet is 48x58 inches and
hangs on the wall in the main hall.
The tablet itself has a laurel bor-
der. At the top center is an eagle

Record, indicate that the autOmo-
bile and telephone are now 9 big
factor in farm life, not merely as
comfort or convenience but as
an actual aid in business. The
number of telephones, by which
the farmer may communicate with
his local trade center or with the
great cities in which the prices
and markets for his products are
determined, is officially stated at
2,498,493 in 1920, while another
authority puts the total number
of phones in all the United States
without regard to ownership" at
the end of 1920 at 13,411,379,
which suggests that nearly one
fifth of the phones in the United
States are now in the farm home
and farm business service; while
80 per cent of the reporting farms
were equipped with telephone ser
vice in 1920.
The automobile statistics are
also extremely suggestive. They
show the number of automobiles
on farms in 1920 at 2,146,362,
while figures compiled by Automo-
tive Industries put the total of au-
tomobiles in use in all the United
States in 1920 at 10000 sug-
j costing that the farmers owned in
that year considerably more than
one-fourth of the automobiles of
the country, to say nothing of the
139, 900 motor trucks and 246,0O0
farm tractors reported in opera
ton on the farms in 1920. Over
30 per cent of the reporting farms
in 1920 utilized automobiles.
Still another evidence of the
| disposition of the farmer to util-
ize machinery in increasing his
Z business activities is found in the
fact that the value of his farm
implements and machinery" re-
ported in 1920 was nearly three
times as much as in 1910, five
times as much as in 1900 and sew
en- times as much as in 1890. The
official valuation of farm nipple
ments and machinery in 1920 is
So, 1915, 100000 against $1,265, 000,-
600 in 1910, $750,000,000 in 1900
and S494 100000 in 1890.
1t is not surprising then, adds
the Trade Record, in view of the
increasing use by the farmer of
these time and labor saving de-
vices, the telephone, the automo-
bile, the motor truck and the
farm tractor, coupled with the
enormous increase in his farm i'm
plements and machinery, to find
that the census reports the value
of horses on farms in 1920 only
$f,782, 100000 against $2,084, 000,-
600 in 1910, decrease of IA per
cent in value of horses, while all
, other classes of farm animals in
creased inNvalue in the same peri
cd, the increase in value of sheep
being 70 per cent, poultry 141 per
cent, cattle 143 per cent, swine 148
per cent, and goats 1874 per cent

FLUCTUATIONS OF
RUSSIAN ROJJBLE

MOSCOW, June 9-The Soviet
ruble has now reached such low
value that cabmen, shopkeepers
and other persons refer generally
to millions as clemens" or le-
mons. The minimum fare for a
short cab ride is generally dee
mon" or one lemon.
In restaurant menus and other
price lists the final six ciphers are
generally cut off; for example, the
price of an order of beefsteak,
really; 100000 rubles is express
sed as 800 rubles..
For the past few weeks the curb
rate of exchange has been in the
neighborhood of 100000 rubles
to the dollar, making one "lemon"
worth about 25 cents American.
Food prices soar daily to such an
extent that housewife with money
enough to buy 10 pounds of bread
today, may be able to buy six
pounds tomorrow.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER

Ask anybody in New York why
communal life is so deadly dull and
you will receive the seasonal excuse.
With the temperature about 81, the
metropolis is "deserted"-except for
the several million people who can't
help themselves. But, communal ac-
tivity depends not on handful of
millions as much as on the handful of
workers, paid and unpaid, whose
leaving the city synchronizes with,
if indeed it does not presage, the ar
rival of the sweltering heat wave. The
Jewish workers" are decidedly in the
class of departees. Not all of them
perhaps, but enough to create that
wait-till- fall-comes attitude in the
communal mind. Philanthropic activ-
ity proceeds by inertia. Institutional
work continues where it cannot be
stopped. But creativeness in the COM
munal sense is at an inverse ratio
to the temperature. By the middle
of August it has fallen to below zero.
Granted that it is too hot to do
anything constructively,, even for the
masses whose problem is not how to
climb up the social ladder via the
"I'm stopping at the Citz Rarlton,"
but who cannot leave the heat-strick-
en- city even for a record breaking hot
and humid day, why can't we think?
And if we can't think constructively,
let us think palliatively. Let us
think about that fire-swept Jewish
orphan asylum at Shawbridge, Can
ada, and the charred bodies Of a score
or so orphans who were entrusted to
an. institution, which, by some ac-
counts, was "said" not to have a fire.

BROWN TO LEAD ENGLISH CAM
PAIGN FOR JEWISH WAR
SUFFERERS


David A. Brown, of Detroit, who
led the campaign last Fall and Win
ter in this country which raised ap-
proximately $17,000,000 for the war
suffering Jews of Europe, has been
prevailed upon to volunteer his serv-
ices to conduct similar campaign
in England, it was announced today
by Henry H. Rosenfelt, National
Director of the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee.
Mr.. Brown is now in Russia, after
having visited Poland, Czekoslovakia,
Austria, Hungary and Roumania as
one of the commissioners recently
sent abroad by the American Jewish
Relief Committee to review the efforts
of the Jews of this country to relieve
their war-stricken brethren, and to
efforts, with particular reference to
reconstruction.
In yielding to the opportunities of
leading British Jews to put on in
England a campaign with methods
similar to those that have proved sue
cessful in America, Mr.. Brown, writ
ing from Vienna, said:
$50 far, I have heard and seen
enough to warrant me saying that
every pound raised in England and
the Colonies can be used in addition
to the funds raised in America. At
best, we are doing but very little, for
the millions Of people to help and the
many activities that are necessary,
you can realize that our millions of
dollars cannot do much for each in
dividual. One great effort on the
part of the Jews of Great Britain
at this time would not only be help
full to these people, but the knowledge
that the Jews Of Great Britain were
so interested in the sufferings of
their fellow Jews in the lands of mis-
cry would raise their spirits and give
them hope and make them want to
live to go on, which is one of the
finest things we can put into their
souls, especially when they are so
disheartened and hopeless"
National Director Rosenfelt has
cabled Mr.. Brown assuring him of
the completest possible cooperation
which will be launched when he has
completed his tour of Russia.

NEW ANTISEMITIC OUTBREAKS
IN SILESIA

Berlin q. T. Az The papers here
report new anti-Semitic outbreaks in
that part of Silesia which has been
occupied by the Poles, especially in
Kattowitz. Anti-Semitic crowds at
tackled Jewish passers-by on the
streets, broke into Jewish shops and
houses. Jews were driven from hotels
and forced to take trains to Galicia.
The pogroms are said to have been
caused by reports in anti-Semitic pa
pers which declared that the Jews
were responsible for the high price
of food. The police did not inter-
vene at the beginning. 1t was not
until late last night that they took
action. Today, new outbreaks are re-
ported. Similar excesses are report
ed from the villages in the vicinity
of Kattowitz. No deaths have oc-
Cured, although many casualties
have been reported.

catastrophe, of what might have hap

There is plenty of food for refec-

Why not substitute construction for

ATTACK GERHARDT HAUPT-

FEELINGS

Berlin (J. T. Az. Gerhardt Haupt-

celebrated his sixtieth birthday. The
anti-Semitic press took this oppor-
tunity to attack and insult him, ac-
cusing him of being a friend of the
Jews. They reproach him for having
invited the well-known Berlin pub
Usher, S. Fischer, and his latest biog-
rapher, Artur Eloezer, and other Jew
ish authors to his birthday testimoni-
al.
The Berlin Paper, "Wahrheit," con-
trasts the celebration Of the Goth
birthday Of the writer Otto Ernst
with that of Hauptmann, saying the
former is not 'honored like Haupt-
mann because he is a German Nation
alist, thus incurring the wrath of the
Jewish Press.
