MINING MEN TAKE NOTICE,

In accordance with the policy set
the United States Senate Commission
of Gold and Silver Inquiry by Senator
Tasker L. Oddie, Chairman, to con-
duct hearings in the western gold
and silver producing states for the
purpose of developing first hand in
formation upon the condition of the
gold and silver industry, Fletcher
Hamilton, formerly State Mineralo-
gist of California for ten years, who
was appointed to represent the Com
mission, has arranged his itinerary,
and will hold hearings in the state of
Colorado at the following points and
dates: Denver, Sept. 26 and 81; Grip
pie Creek, Sept. 90 and 30; Leadville,
Oct. 1 and 2; Ouray, Oct. a and 5.
The activities of the Commission
are being directed along lines which
will develop the causes of the contin-
uing decrease in gold and silver pro-
duction and the depressed condition
of the industry in the United States
Investigation is being made as to the
production, reduction, refining, trans
portation, marketing, sale and uses
of gold and silver in the United
States and elsewhere, and study is
also being made by the Commission
regarding the effect of the decreased
production of gold and silver upon
commerce, industry, exchange and
prices.
1t is sincerely hoped that the min
ing operators and sprospectors will
lend every aid possible to Mr.. Hamil-
ton so that these hearings may record
accurately the conditions under which
the industry has been carried on
since 1914. With statement of
facts from those who have the knowl-
edge and practical experience to pre-
sent them, the Commission will be
greatly assisted in it's investigation
and in developing such remedies to
safeguard the industry in the future
as the recital of facts may indicate
are necessary. 1t will be sincerely
appreciated if every effort will be
made by the operators and prospect
ors who have been confronted with
obstacles of any kind in the conduct
of their operations to give as full
testimony as possible in order that
Mr. Hamilton may have a complete
record of facts
Very truly yours,
FLETCHER HAMILTON.
In Charge of Field Hearings.

mitted to Cuba because w. P. C.. Harding, governor of the Boston bank, who made an intimate study of Gu ban finances, convinced the federal reserve board that agencies should be established there, and the Boston bank was allowed an agency because it's head understands the Cuban sit uation. The Atlanta bank was al lowed an agency because it is closest to Cuba and it would have been unfair to the Southeast to deny it an agency when the East had one. The New York bankers are reported as stating that "the agencies undoubtedly will perform banking transactions that will prove highly competitive with the in- dividual operating banks in Cuba" If the reserve agencies in Cuba serve to enliven banking methods there and that, in turn, serves to increase fa- cilities for doing business with Cuba, the spirit of competition which they are thought to be laden with will have been beneficial. American business wants American banking facilities in Cuba and that is what the federal re- serve agencies promise.

VALUE OF FARM SCHOOLS

That the ten agricultural schools of the state are turning out practical farmers and farm homemakers is shown in the financial return of farm operations at these schools and in the further fact that. seven out of ten pupils attending high school last year, but not attending this year, are en- gagged in farming. It is evident that the knowledge gained at the agricul- tural schools in soil cultivation and in conservation of farm by-products and farm home making is bearing fruit on the farms of Alabama. A net return of more than $40,000 was earned on the farms of the schools. This money will go into vocational farm training.
 An especially interesting feature of the work of the farm schools is the course for adult farmers which was taken last year by nearly two hundred persons. The girls are taught how to prepare nutritious meals, how to care for their health and that of children, how to make clothes, how to render first aid, and how generally to make the farm home attractive and sanitary. There was an enrolment of 2,135 pupils in these schools last year. Out of the practical knowledge obtained by these boys and girls in actual ex- ercise of farming and farm home func- tions, in addition to the acquisition of sound theory, there is no doubt that there will be much improvement on farms and in farm life in their com munities.
 With a crop of young ,o.en and women issuing yearly f ,n these schools, the state will Save have an army of competent farr ph and farm wives, whose intellrr nduct of the farm will more 4n mpensate for any decrease tAa, may occur in hired farm labor. They will care for the farm and the farm home with knowledge of economies and a sense of the value of the conveniences and attractiveness with which they may be surrounded just as easily as not. Alabama farm life will come into it's own the sooner according to the num- Der of such young men and women.

CHICAGo's TRACTION PROBLEM

Expressing the view that municipal ownership and operation of its trac- tion system would contribute largely to the growth and betterment of that city, Chicago's mayor has recom- mended to the city council the pur- chase of all surface and elevated lines "at the earliest possible date" The mayor points to the success of mu- nicipal operation of the traction sys- tenn of Detroit, and believes that un- der such a plan many of the difficult ties and faults of the system in Chi cago would be removed. Detroit, with a rapid growth of population, .expe- rienced serious troubles with its trac- tion system, and undertook to solve the problem by municipal operation. The plan has proven successful, ac- cording to reports. Chicago has out grown it's traction system, which is now said to be wholly inadequate, and the people of that city have been restive for needful improvement for some time.
 A large city like Chicago, where distances are great and economy of time in getting back and forth is an important factor in business and social

RESERVE AGENCIES IN CUBA

Just why New York bankers should object to the establishment of Cuban agencies by the Boston and Atlanta federal reserve banks is not made clear in the printed statement of their objections appearing in financial pa pers. A paragraph from the Wall Street Journal commenting on the Cuban agencies suggests a reason. It says: Bankers contend that about eighty per cent. of Cuba's export busi- ness to this country is handled through the port of New York and they are at a loss to understand why the federal reserve bank should encroach on the Cuban field" The rest of the country will scarcely consider as an encroach- ment anything that tends to promote business between Cuba and the United States and it will welcome into Cuba the same banking system that has so splendidly stabili' ad the finances of this country. New York's monopoly of the field is not recognized as a legitimate claim.
 The Boston bank was doubtless ad-

BIRMINGHAM TO CLEAN UP

Birmingham appears to be Tn real earnest about the cleanup campaign to be inaugurated today. Men and women alike have displayed unusual interest. The city authorities and the householders manifest a spirit of CO., operation that tends to the best re- suits. The Boy Scouts are in the movement and none should underesti- mate the service capable of being ex- tended by the willing hands and brains of these youngsters. It will be sue cess if none holds back. None has the right to hold back, because in holding back he is standing in the way of the community good. The movement will be especially successful if it provokes a permanent cleanup spirit, the desire and the intention to avoid the neces- sity of cleanup campaigns by keeping premises in order at all times.
 As has been heretofore pointed out, the city garbage department has been to some extent responsible for the ac- emulation of trash because of the unreasonable haste displayed by the garbage collectors and trash removers in performance of that duty. House. wives have not been encouraged to keep premises clean and to have we'll kept metal containers in operation when these containers have been smashed often when on their first day of service by the Irresponsible ones accompanying the wagons and unable to keep up with them except on a run. The city cannot be kept clean without orderliness. Let the city extend the right example at all times. The house. wives will be found cooperating. A woman naturally abhors dirt. The city authorities would do well to bear that in mind.

ONE TRICK A DAY
A Trick With n Penny

Secretly, before starting this trick, hide a penny up your left sleeve. Now borrow a handker- chief from anyone in your audi ence and throw it over the left hand. Then take a half-dollar, and apparently wrapping it up in the handkerchief, substitute the penny in its place, dropping the half-dollar down your sleeve.
 Give the handk erchief to some one to hold. Now borrow an- other handkerchief and a penny. and go through the same move ments as before, this time, how ever, substituting the silver for the copper coin. Give this hand kerchief to a second person and place them, facing each other, a few yards apart. Then with a wave of your magic wand, com mand the coins to change places, and ask those who hold the hand kerchiefs if your order has not been obeyed.

------so -sos-@--------------------- CREDIBLE EVIDENCE

Rochester Democrat and Chron-
 icle)
 Some statistics coming from university libraries and university and higher school laboratories should be given weight as credi- ble evidence that the student of today is more independently in clind to dig out part of his or her education than was the case before the war. At Princeton the university librarian has fig ures to show a steady increase in the number of books called for and used by students in all de- partments. This increase started at the close of the war, and has grown yearly until now four times the number of students and five times the number of book are in active circulation in com parison with the figures for 1918. A similar increase in laboratory work has been noted. Other in stitutions present evidence of the same kind. In the University of Iowa student research work, un- dertaken independently of regu- lar prescribed courses of the uni- versity, has become one of the major departments of student scholastic activity, It is the stu dents who are enlarging and to some extent remaking the cur riculum of that university. The demands upon the university eX- tension program of Columbia University are rapidly carrying this department of work to major proportions. It is within possi- bility that preparation by exten- sion courses supplemented by a certain period of continuation study of an intensive sort of the university itself. will become a definite adjustment of opportu- nity for Columbia students.
 All this is evidence to refute the advocates of a limitation of educational opportunity to the specially fit. Before such advo- cates can really gather data and found argument on fact, the spe- cially fit will be immensely re- cruited by the great body of am bilious students who are spe- cially fitting themselves to get what they want from our higher schools. There is good reason to believe that our collegiate and technical school students are more earnest in effort and that the value of what the higher school has to offer is better real ized and more highly prized than of old.

life, cannot afford to neglect it's trac- tion facilities. Inadequate service in this respect is heavy drain all along the line, and a serious waste. The people insist on service that will sup ply the needs. AS a general proposi- tion private ownership and operation of city's traction system is prefer- able, if proper service can be so ob- tained. But in the last analysis the public will insist upon adequate ser vice, and if it cannot be obtained one way, there will be demand for some other plan. The public is not directly interested in who owns and operates the traction system. What the people want and demand is adequate service at reasonable rates. They are will ing to pay fair charges for this, but they are unwilling to be exploited for any private purpose, and if they can't get service one way they are going to get it another.
 Whether Chicago would find mu- nicipal ownership and operation wise and economical remains to be seen but several million people are not go- ing to be satisfied until proper service is forthcoming, regardless of who con- trols the system. If Chicago goes to municipal ownership and operation of it's traction system, it will not be the first city to be driven into the change because of the shortcomings and cost of a public service second in import anca nnlv tn the nnhlic health

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law
Zachary Taylor

"Old Rough and Ready" as Zachary Taylor was affectionate- ly called, became president of the United States in 1S49 when he was sixty-five years old. In his long life he had we'll earned the nick name of Rough and Ready" From his very childhood he had been familiar with hardships and dangers. and he had always been ready for every emergency. The work of his life, however, was ac- complished, for he lived only a little over a year after his inau- guration.
 Zachary Taylor, like George Washington, was of Virginia birth, but he was not of Virginia bringing up" His father, who had given good service in the war with England, moved after the Revolution to the region of Ken lucky, then one of the very out posts of civilization. Young Zach ary had to live the pioneer life, to work hard cutting trees, mak- ing roads and planting crops. He learned to read and write, but he learned little else, for in those days and in that region, book learning was of little use as com pared with the practical learning needed in opening up and develop ing a new country. Frontiersmen and Indians were his companions, and the gentler side of life was little thought of.
 Everyone had the highest re- spect for the military life. The memories of the Revolution were strong, and the country needed fighters. Therefore, at twenty four Zachary Taylor was proud enough to become a lieutenant in the army. He had served a year or two when the war of 1912 portunity to begin earning his name Rough and Ready" He fought with great bravery and skill. for he had been trained in a region of fighting men. In va rious Indian wars he again showed leadership combined with great personal bravery.
 The greatest opportunity in Zachary Taylor's life came in the Mexican war, where he fought with the utmost bravery. Iu the battle of Buena Vista Zachary Taylor, who was now Major Gen. eral Taylor, overwh elmed a force of Mexicans nearly four times the number of his own troops. This tremendous victory led to his nomination, about year later, to the presidency.
 The frontier boy had done well in gaining a rough and ready" training, for that sort of training. had aided him to serve his coun- try remarkably we'll

CROWDING ELLIS ISLAND

Illinois State Register
 There is something of an uproar in foreign countries over the fact that some of their nationals have been forced to undergo some de- lay and some inconveniences in being detained at Ellis Island through the operation of the immi- grafton quota law of the United States. Well, whose fault is it? The government and people of these countries know what the law Is and what their own quotas are under that law. Why should they take such a deep interest in these emigrants when they are so anxious to get rid of them? The proper place to regulate or limit the number of persons emigrating to the United States is on their own side of the water Catch them while they are in the status of emigrants or would-be emil grants. After they become i'm migrants they are our concern. There is one very easy way in which the restless people of Eu- rope can escape all the horrors" of Ellis Island, and that Is by staying at home instead of com ing to America. The only per- sons who will miss them over here are those who would bring them here to exploit their labor.
