I The natural wealth of Poland,-
 such as productive soil, which today l produces enough not only for it's own
 Use but for eNport.---the great wealth
 of forests, which has become funda- mental for the extensive develop
 ment of timber industry,-also the prevailing conditions Of all kinds, such as coal. petroleum, natural ben zine, natursl gas, iron, zinc. copper and even silyer,-all these With the
 most working abilities of the Polish 1 labor, give solid foundations for de- veiopment of agriculture, industry and commerce,-whose centers such as l Warsaw, Lodz, Pietrkow, the District
 of Dombrowa, and Slask. in no way are less than the great ccnters Of in- dustry abroad.
 Tn Poland everybody is working
 and youth does not waste time. As proof IS the overflow of all our edu- cational institutions.
 Polish finances are slowly entering into normalcy. And following the ex- ample of the best governmental ad- ministration, the present government decided to keep within budget and all governmental developments and expenditures shall be kept within ap- propriations. The Emission bank, which is now being formed, depending at great measure on private enter priscs. gives the possibility, in the shortest time, of the creation of full values. which once and for all, win reduce the illogical controversy be- tween the true state of affairs. and
 will show in balance of imports and exports for exports have long past exceeded imports.
 ''I must add this fact that the present productions in Poland have exceeded all expectations, and even exceeded the production before the war.
 When you ask us to the results of the Agrarian reform which was re- ported to have shaken the very foundations Of our national existence. I answer that the Agrarian reform is the only means Of assuring in gov ernment hands that social and eco- nomical symptoms which became ap- parent already in the ante-b bellum days. when on the one hand in the Russian Poland was created a gov crnmental Landowners Bank, and on the other hand. on the territory of little Poland (GaliciaD there blos- scmed an orgy Of private subdivision Of land. rising the prices 10 gum heard Of figures and thus turning millions into the hands of speenla- tors.

tors at the cost or the laboring classes. The national government must care for the creation of healthy agricul- tural units, hence, the protection of farmers who will produce so much that they will be able not only to take care of themselves, but sell their overproduction.
 Tn Poland to this class belong those farmers only, whose agricul- tural units begin with twenty hectares of land. Unfortunately there are great numbers of small land owners whose possessions fall below this amount of land. Poland expects great improvements in the present agricultural conditions-as result of the Agrarian reform"

Dear Spare Tire: There seems

ConfidentiGILy, Fve secured
stall space for him at the Laurel

mag enter him IN several races.
It may be that I Will be able to
make q special match race dur
ing the meeting 1Otth Spark
Plug. The Goat, you k1tosO, is a
speed nsGrveI, and I feel sure
aOouLd run away from Spare
Plug for si9 fstrLOngs. Whether
he 10ostLd be able to beat BGTney
GOGGLES famous horse at male
and a half, or over the jumps, 1
don't AaaoaU. The fact that the
office GoGt has tiUed only on
contributions to the Grand Old
Column, aOhiLe Spark Plug has
had oats, might cause the GoGt
to be Just a little short of aUind,
although, heaven knows, he has
eaten enough wirad to last for
gears.
PGpyrus Is fed on special food,
Nth t1OO quarts of a special
bTeW of English ale. I'm trying
to get quantity of a certain

else that runs on four legs at

Maybe SNOW or EVERETT
1OiA dTGaU you some pictures of
the Goat IN training, and then
some pictures of the Goat
against Spark Plug in the big
race, the day for sOIaich can be

be to tip the Goat off to a0Git
until he gets Spark Plug oVer
IN the back stretch, sChen the
Judges are not looking, butt
Spark Plug do1U1s, and breeze IN

Samsbo, EUerett's creation in

If you get any Uord from

to run this race for a purse of
10000, 900 marks, boost the race

hate the office Goat, and aO0uId
