alongside of Austrian paper money.
1t may even get within speaking
distance of Russian paper money.
In Russia it takes a government
promise to pay about 100000 in
gold to pay for a hack ride in Mos
COW. They have almost quit talking
in millions over there now. 1t is
billions and quadrillions that they
need to measure large fiscal trans
actions with. Labor there ought
to be in a happy frame of mind. A
million dollars a day is not an un-
usual wage for common labor. The
only drawback is that it will not
buy anything worth while.
But one of the peculiar situations
arising from the rapidly falling
value Of the German mark is that
it makes rich men out of the hand
full of American soldiers who are
still kept in Germany. Under the
agreement made when our forces
entered Germany. the shop keep
ers in the occupied district agreed
that prices should tot be raised to
American soldiers from those that
prevailed when they went there. so
the mark has still the same pur-
chasing value to the American
doughboy in Germany that it had
three years ago, we m told. Now
the American private soldiers pay
of a dollar a day is worth about
10000 marks a month, or the salary
of a bank president. No wonder
they are popular with the German
girls and don't want to come home.
The Canadian dollar bill is an
other bit of money that has been
acting queerly of late. A year or
two ago it hung its head in the
presence of the American dollar
with a twenty per cent discount tag
around its neck. Now it holds its
head high again at about par, or a
small fraction Of one per cent less
than par. And the peculiar thing
about this revival Of the Canadian
dollar bill is that prohibition did
it. At least that is the only ex-
PLANTATION of the rapid rise of the
Canadian dollar that we a dope
out. As far as trade statistics 60
Canada which always bought more
goods from the United States than
she sold to the United States, o n
tinues to do so yet. In fact her
exports to the United States have
declined more than her imports
have declined in the last year-on
the face Of returns. That would
make her balance Of trade greater
on the debtor side and depress the
value of her paper dollar here. On
the contrary her paper dollar has
steadily increased in value. Our
idea is that this strange phenome-
non is due to the fact that we have
bought a vast amount of goods
wet goods-from Canada that neve
went through a customs house or
appeared in official statistics.
These shipments were paid for in
gold dollars or paper that is ex-
changeable for gold in the United
States. That is what has boosted
the Canadian dollar. The balance
of trade between Canada and the
United States is against US instead
of for US, in spite of statistics. 1t
is even possible that in the future
we may be paying a premium for
Canadian dollars to pay our whisky
bills with.

THE COAL STRIKE OVER.

IT will be good news to the public
l that a settlement of the soft coal
strike has been made, and the min
ers will return to work soon. In
fact some of them have already re-
turned to work. The settlement
made is in the nature of a compro-
mise between the coal mine opera
tors and their men, though the lat
ter gained most of their demands
and go back at the old wages. In
judging the result we would say
that the settlement was more OF a
victory for the union miners than
for the coal mine owners, though
each side got some concessions.
For about twenty weeks now the
largest part of the soft coal miners
have been idle, and the men with
out wages. This is not SO much a
loss to the coal miners as it would
seem at first sight, for the coun-
try being bare of coal they will
now have steady work for a long
time to make up the shortage and
ACQUIRE a new surplus stock. Per
haps in many cases they will have
no more lost time than they would
have had without the strike in the
course of the year.
But the public has already sui
fered from the coal strike and Will
suffer more. 1t has slowed down
business just as it was apparently
recovering from a long period CT
depression. Moreover in spite CT
the utmost efforts of Mr.. Hoover
and the administration there will
probably be some increase IN the
price of coal to the consumer.
When the supply is short and the
demand great there is bound to be
some swell in prices. 1t is an
economic law that not even statu-
tory enactment can prevent. Some
years ago hay rose in price to $50 a
ton in Montana because hay stacks
were few and hungry cattle many.
No law against profiteering could
have kept hay down to the ordinary
price that year. Buyer and seller
would have combined to defeat the
law if there had been such a law
Stockmen had to have the hay, and
there was not enough to supply all
their needs. 1t is likely to be SO
with coal this winter. IT all the
strikers are back in the mines dig
eing coal tomorrow the supply Is
going to be less than the eman
for q time at least.
Then there is the railroad shop
strike to complicate matters. The
railroads are needed to distribute
the coal after it is mined and with
heavy crops to move and efficiency
not at top notch on account OF iach
of trained repair workmen, such
coal as is mined may move rather
slowly to the points of consump,
ton.
This coal strike has been a seri'
Gus blow to the business prosperity
of the country. What steps have
been taken to prevent its recur
renee we do not yet know. The
settlement is admittedly only Z
temporary one lasting to next April
Meantime some effort is to be made
to negotiate an agreement that viii
prevent its repetition. W. will
perhaps bring both sides to agree
to compulsory arbitration such a:
they have had for twenty years II

about 80 miles in length and several
miles wide. Denton was just on the

miles east of here, threshing was not
interrupted.
On all standing grain which was
hit, the loss is reported very heavy,
in a majority of eases a total loss.
The grain which was cut was dam
aged to some extent, but this cannot
be estimated.
Chickens Are Killed
Small chickens were killed and win
dows broken on practically every farm.
Had this storm hit this district two
weeks earlier. it would have caused a
damage estimated at 100000 bushels.
but at this time n large share of the
wheat is in the shock.
The Bear Springs country was not
hit. In Denton a number of windows
were broken, and flowers and gar
dens a total loss. The hail was fol
lowed by a heavy rain for about 10
or Is minutes.
Some of the damage to the wheat
was covered by insurance and claims
are being filed Wednesday morning.
