Outlining the changes that have
taFen place, the letter reads:
The most remarkable recovery
from pre-war depression experienced
by any industry has been that shown
in sheep raising. The monthly re
port Of the ninth federal reserve dis
tr!ct contains the statement that wool
growers of the northwest have been
placed III the strongest strategic po-
sition in their history as the result Of
the new tariff OF wool and sheep

Sharp Decline
The export states that between the
Years 1910 and 1922 the number of
sheep i'll the United States declined
from more than $1,000, 600 head to
head. or a decline of
about one-third. The decline was from
two causes. In the first place. the
Of agriculture westward has
the range countries. and also
the pressure Of the farming popula-
ton and the consequent rise in price
land has caused the breaking up
of the ranges into small farms on
which it was impossible to raise the
enormous flocks of sheep that for
merry were found on the range. The
second cause of decline in sheep hold
lngs was the severe competition from
the sheep growers in the newly de-
veloped countries. such as Australia
and Argentina. In these new terri
tories land was practically free to

WHERE DOES THE GOVERNOR STAND?

senator frellnghuysen throws out a challenge to Gov
ernor Edwards, his Democratic opponent for United States
senator, which challenge the governor does not seem in
cfned TO accept. The governor seems to be unable to talk
anytnlng but booze which he sugarcoats before certain au-
dlences by referring to it as personal liberty In the
governors mind it all means the same thing.
But where does Governor Edwards stand on the bonus.
the ship subsidy, the League of Nations and other important
issues with which a United States senator will have to deal?
Senator Frelinghuysen is running on his record. EVERYBODY
knows what that is. 1t is an open book. There has been no
clubbing, no lodging on any question. The senator now
offers to debate this record with his opponent; has the sena-
tor been right or wrong in the stand he has taken? How
would Governor Edwards had he been in the senate, voted
on these questions?
That is a fair challenge. The people have a right to
know. The bonus, for instance, aroused a great deal of in
terest throughout the country and there was a bitter fight
over the bill that was introduced. The bill was passed but
failed to become a law owing to the Presidents veto. But
the matter is not dead. The national commander of the
American Legion announced a day or two ago that the fight
had only begun. The bonus is bound to come I'D in the next
congress. If Governor Edwards is elected this fall, how
will he vote? Did Senator Frelinghuysen do right or did
he do wrong in voting against the bonus bill as introduced in
congress? 1t is a fair question. Governor Edwards cannot
dodge this issue. 1t is well known that he is closely associ-
ated with the banking interests, being president of a bank
in Jersey City. The financial leaders generally have been
opposed to the bonus at this time. AS long as Governor
Edwards remains silent it is fair TO assume that he is also
opposed.
The ship subsidy, too, is something that is going to at
tract a great deal of attention in the next congress. Millions
of dollars are involved; so is the future of American ship
ping. Has not Governor Edwards a word to say on this
vital subject? Can he do nothing but sing, How Dry |
Amp"
To anyone who has given the matter any thought it is
plain that the only way to abolish prohibition or even to
have light wine or beer that is worthy of the name, is for
enough states to rescind their action in r~atifying the eigh-
tenth amendment. The hopelessness of such a thing is
plain. Yet the Democrats are appealing for votes on that
flimsy issue while the issues that are real and of vital i'm
portance to the country are ignored.
1t is an interesting challenge that Senator Freling-
huysen has issued to his opponent. Will Governor Edwards
take the opposite side of the senator's record at Washing
ton during the past six years? An intelligent electorate
want something more than 'booze'' as an issue for the cleo
lion Of a United States senator.

FORTUNE TELLER

The New York Stock Exchange will soon bring out a stock
ticker running about a fifth faster than the model that now
brings the sad news to the gentlemen who spend their days in
chairs before the b~lackboards in brokerage offices and bucket
shops.
1t seems that the sad news doesn't come fast enough. On
a busy day the ticker sometimes runs a quarter of an hour
or more behind prices on the floor of the stock exchange.
Since the market can do a lot of shifting in Is minutes,
plungers will welcome a faster-geared ticker. 1t brings them
closer to the battlefield where their dollars are fighting heavy
odds.
The stock ticker was invented by a preacher, DR.. Samuel
S. Laws, back in Civil War days.
A Gold Exchange had been established in New York, to
adjust the price of gold at regular intervals, thus letting bank
ers and other business men know what their paper money
was worth on a gold basis.
A board of trustees met each morning, to adjust the price
of gold. As they emerged from conference, hundreds of mes
senger boys bounced on them, eager to rush the gold price to
bankers, brokers and merchants. The trustees, by the time
the messengers got through mobbing them, sometimes had
to buy new clothes.
Sc they jumped at the chance when Preacher Laws
showed them sketches for the first electrical ticker machine.
Young Thomas A. Edison had charge Of the telegraphing
service.
The first stock tckers, of course, were crude compared
with the machines in glass cages that spit out quotation-rib-
bon today.
More than 1000 tape tickers are now in use, ~four-ffths
of them recording the price waves Of stocks and bonds.
Of all machines invented by man, the stock ticker is east
ly the most interesting. Daily it regulates the emotions of
hundreds of thousands of people.
What a story it could tell, if it could talkl In the main,
the story would be ~tragic-blasted hopes, exploded dreams,
thefts, prison terms, lost fortunes and suicides. The bright
err side-the story of lucky strikes-is the fame that lures the
moths.

THE ENORMOUS PAVING WASTE

Senator Parry of Essex county, has again thrown some
hot shot into the patented paving trust, hitting the State
Highway Commission for its extravaganza in handing out
contracts for improving the state roads. Senator Parry
shows that while the highway commission has been COM
planning that it did not have enough money to pave as many
miles of roads as it desired it has been wasting money
enough on patent pavements to have many more miles of
soads with concrete.
For instance, Senator Parry says:
SIN 1924, the State Highway Commission awarded con-
tracts for nearly twenty-three miles of Warrenite -bitulithic
year it awarded contracts for nearly ~forty-four miles of con-
crete roads at an average cost of $58, 1874 per mile. The ex-
cess cost for the Warrenite roads in 1924 averaged 1927, 800
over the concrete, or $628,0OO for the twenty three miles.
Those figures make interesting reading when you consider
the fact that eminent engineers the country over are of the
opinion that concrete roads are just as durable and service
able as the Warrenite-~b itulithic.
SIN 1922 the State Highway Commission has awarded
contracts for twenty-five and one half miles of warrenite-
bitulithic at an average cost of $780, 71 per mile, while dur
ing the same period it has awarded contracts for eighty miles
Of concrete roads at an average cost of $57,2i9 per mile.
The excess cost for the warrenite on the twenty-five and
one-half miles of road averages $29, 352, or $664,000 in
ALL
This shows that in 1924 $628, 900 was wasted on pa
tent pavements. This amount if spent on concrete at the
average cost of $751; 1874 per mile, would have paved more
than ten miles of additional highways that year. In 1929
there has been wasted on patented pavements about $685.
600 which, if all concrete had been used, would have paved
nearly twelve miles more of roads, or the distance between
this city and New Brunswick.
Why should the taxpayers of New Jersey make the
patented paving gang a present of 81 ,292, 900 in two years?
Think this over seriously before voting on the bond issue
at the coming election,

@. What are the most popular
games in Latin America ?-M.W.V.
A. Basketball is being introduced
into a number of countries of Latin
America, while pelota, a sort of hand
ball game, is also very popular.
Chess is one of the great indoor ma
t:onal games. while card playing is
popular with all classes of the popu-
lation.
@. What is a miners inch &c.
A. S.
A.. Miners inch is the quantity

Sukquttahhash. Both the principle
of the dish and its name are bor-
fowed from the native Indians.
@. What were the seven sayings
of Christ on the Cross ?-M. E. S.
A. There is a great difference in
the records of the four Gospels as to
the sayings of Christ upon the Cross.
The seven noted in the different Cos
pels are :"Today shalt thou be with
Me in Paradise" Woman, behold
thy Son. Behold thy Mother"
Father forgive them, they know not
what they do" My God, My God,

@. How many different species of
insects are there in the National

the million mark, ISL in the million
class and only SO in the next hlgh-
er class. In the group of wives max
ing separate returns, there are 6S IN
the sub-million class, IVA in the mil
lion class, and only 81 in the next
higher class. The same is true of h
heads of families. There, are 20 in
the sub-million class, SO in the mil
lion class, and only IL in the next
class above.
The rule Is even more marked in
the case of men. In the sub-million
class there are 65S men; in the MIL
4! lion class, 1872, and in the next
higher class, only 366. These are
married men. The single men show
113 in the sub-million class, 296 in
the million class and only rs in the
next class.
This is the more striking in that
the income classes, as to every other
graduation of income. rise in about
the same ratio. All except that mil
| lion mark!
Probably the most fascinating fact
about the income of single women is
that the great bulk of those having
incomes are in the stenographer
class. This is a new economic de-
velopment of the utmost interest.
Only a few years ago there vas no
such class of money-earners at all.
They are a new social phenomenon
in the world. The statistics do not
classify occupations closely but a
shrewd guess could be made from
the size of the income. Without ex-
| ception, the most numerous class OF
feminine taxpayers are single women
with net incomes ranging from ST.
900 to $4,000 a year. 1t seems obvi-
that these are the ~stenographers
and private secretaries that decorate
the offices of modern business and
help make the wheels go round.
F1apper Incomes
1t is the flapper class! And these
statistics would appear to furnish
what all the moralists have been
looking for; the economic or other
justification for the flapper. The fig
ures show that the flapper steno-
| grapher makes more money than any
other class of women. In 1920, 342,-
96S of these flapper stenographers
paid income tax. Their aggregate
income amounted to $475, $40, 109-
nearly half a billion dollars or
enough to pay the interest on the
Allied Debt.
That a good many of these assist
in the support of families to the ex-
tent that they r classed as the
heads of families is shown by the
fact that they are the most numer-
Gus Of that group Of women. There
were 79,446 IN the same general
| income class who made returns as
heads of families; doubtless support
ing parents or younger brothers and
sisters. The fact that among the
wives making separate returns this
also is the largest income class is
taken as IN indication of the large
number of young married women
who have kept their st~enographic
jobs and continue to run their own
financial affairs. There were 2O,547
in this class and they had an aggre-
gate income of sS~0.294,207.
