A French peasant after working
the entire year to produce a crop
was compelled by law to accept
payment for that crop in paper
money, which he knew to be worth
less, or go to prison.
It was simply legalized robbery.
When the penalty was increased to /,
twenty years Imprisonment the in.
evitable climax came. The Reign
of Terror was at its height. Robe
sphere was in supreme power. He
suggested that more assignats be
issued and II the people did not
take them the guillotine should be
the penalty.
Robespierre's End
This unheard OF outrage was
more than the people could stand.
An unknown man arose on the
floor of the convention and de-
nounced Robespierre, reciting the
heinous crimes he had committed,
and so worked upon the feelings OF
the audience that Robespierre, the
tyrant, became Robespierre, the
convicted criminal. Two days
later he was led to the guillotine.
France had learned her financial
lesson well-that money must have
value back OF It. 3
The fallacy OF unsound money
10 sure TO confront Us again. Never
10 there enough Of everything for
all the people. The struggle for
existence is a real struggle, and
those who find themselves in the
lower strata of human society are
ready at any time TO grasp at fiat
money or any of the other things |
which misguided politicians hold
out to them.
My whole purpose is to drive
home the fact that danger lies
ahead and to urge every one to let
no opportunity 90 by to use voice
and influence toward keeping the
wampum of these United States, as !
it is today, the soundest currency
in the world.

SOME BANK SALARIES

Investigations made by the Mis-
souri, Bankers Association have re-
vealed that 3G8 banks in the state
in towns Of under 1000 population
are paying their cashiers and chief
executives an average Of only $110
a month. Only 273 of the 1,162 re-
porting banks in towns under
5000 population pay the president
salary. The report says:
ct indicates that, even allowing
for the economy Of living in small
communities, the cashiers and
managing officers Of those lisp
banks, who receive an average Of
$140 per month, either must have
personal means to begin with, or
must maintain the standards nee
essary to their positions as the
leaders of their communities and
the builders of the commonwealth
by means Of side lines such as
selling insurance, collecting COM

EASY TRICKS
The Mystic Coin
NO. b

Borrow four coins-any coins
will do. Ask a spectator to place
them in a row on the table. Stand
some distance away while the spec
tator does this.
Explain that you will leave the
room and that while you are gone
someone is to turn one Of the coins
upside down. II anyone thinks that
you have seen which coins are
head uppermost or vice versa per-
NIT the arrangement Of the coins
while your back is to the table.
Then, without looking at the table,
leave the room.
When you return you will study
the coins and discover which coin
has been turned upside down. II
you hesitate a bit and appear puz-
zled you will increase the effect OF
the mystery.
It's a wonderful trick but one
man besides yourself will not be
puzzled. The fact is that you have
a confederate. In tricks Of this
sort the audience Is usually stand
ing and the fact that one member
of the party (your confederate)
moves around bit will not be OBJ
served. Before performing the
trick arrange with him to stand
with his back to a certain corner
II the coin nearest your right
hand is selected. AS there are
four corners in most rooms he can
in this way give you the appro-
pirate signal for each coin. If no
coin is turned over, your confed-
crate seats himself. In any event,
he does the work but you get the
credit, ..-.-.------

Nothing dark or sorrowfu1

And not a shiny cricket
Or a quick-eye9 mouse
There are long sunny windows,
A wide fireplace,
And understanding woodwork
Yellow like lace.

Talk beside the fire.
Laughter on the stairway
All it's hearts desire.
Something eager calls to US
In every room,
And it's all like a garden
We are living into bloom.
