FLASHLIGHTS

The crooked way leads straight to
the jail.
It is easier not to offend than 1t Is
to make amends.
The man whose word is as good
as his bond seldom heSitates about
giving his bond.
You never can convince the poor
man that the rich man was happier
when he was poor.
Reason usually has a hard time get
ting willing audience.
We never bump into a chronic
crouch but what we give thanks that
we're not married to him.
Sometimes the most unsatisfactory
thing to get is satisfaction.
The best you can say for some men
is that their clothes are smart.
The rich go South in the winter and
north in the summer, and we some
times wonder why they ever go to the
trouble and expense Of maintaining a
home.-Detroit Free Press

CONTRACTS DISREGARDED
 AS THE MARK FLUCTUATES
The Price of a Hat Changes 300,000,- 0O0 Marks in one Day in
 Germany

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Berlin is filled with stories, some ludicrous and some otherwise, of the trouble that results from doing the business of everyday life in currency that fuctuates be- yond the bounds of reason or imagi- nation.
 In hat store recently customer selected a hat for 900, 0,000, 900 marks; handed over 100,000,000 on account and said he would come back the next day and pay the balance. He did, but in the meantime the mark had so fiuctuated that the same hat was priced 600, 0,00e.000 marks. The dealer insisted the customer carry out bis contract to purchase at 900,000,- 000, but the customer refused and surrendered his deposit of 100, 1000, ,000 marks. An hour later he came back and bought the same hat for 500, ,000,- GOO marks, making 200,000,000 by breaking his contract.
 This transaction is typical of the change which has come over both German wholesale and retail business. Agreements are not respected in the face of radical changes in exchange and there is a constant effort to find some stable basis upon which to operate. The new gold currency is to be offered as a remedy, but it's

Bucharest, Nov. 9.-Charles J. Vopika, former United States Minis ter to Roumania. who is regarded here as an authority on international affairs, while on visit to Bucharest, was interviewed by the financial weekly Bursa.
 When asked his opinion about the present economic situation in Rou- mania and the measures necessary for improving exchange, MT. Vopicka is reported to have said:
 If you want to better your money and gain the confidence of financial circles abroad, some way should be found to make the peasants pay their taxes. One of the lmain reasons why Czech exchange is so high is because the people are meeting their obliga- tions to the state" MT. Vopicka add ed that he is making careful study of European conditions at this time for use in next years presidential campaign in the United States, and gave 1t as his opinion that European affairs are destined to play a prom inent part in the coming election.

 5.OOO.OOO Cases fer 1923

Cordova, Alaska, Nov. 9-The total salmon pack in Alaska this year will exceed 5,000,000 cases, it was esti- mated by E. M. Ball, assistant fish cries agent for Southeastern Alaska Only two seasons produced an output larger than that of 1923, he said A total of 5,922,33O cases were packed in 1917 and 6,667,569 in 1918,
 This years large pack, MT. Ball said, was due to increased production by canneries in Southeastern Alaska.

ROARING BROOK IN
 USE F0R 25 YEARS
Water Turned Into Shuttle Meadow Quarter Century, Ago

New Britain, during the past sum- mer which was the dryest experienced by natives of Connecticut in many years, was never for d . moment in danger of having its water supply cut off and this was due to the foresight of the city fathers of 25 years ago who worked so hard to put through the project of buying all rights tu Roaring Brook and of installing the ripe line which diverted the water into the resery oir known as Shuttle Meadow, which forms the main supply for the city today.
 It is interesting to note that, just when the worth of this project was impressed upon the minds of the residents of New Britain, the 18th anniversary of the turning of the waters of Roaring Brook into Shuttle Meadow will occur Saturday.
 Not many people today know that the project was first started in 1891. Then, the board of water commis- sioners and its advisory board had 6 real fight on its hands in trying to get the general assembly of the state to slkG lIlelH pSIlHlsSIOu LO turn lle waters of the brook into Shuttle Meadow.
 It was during the term of Mayor Robert J. Vance that the thought of seeking a permanent supply of water began to take root in the form of plans to investigate neighboring streams for purity.
 Mayor Vance fathered the project and gave his entire time to the mat ter. The decision was long with held, but when it was finally decided to use Roaring Brook, the commits sioners and the mayor lost no time in securing the right of way, settling the claims of the land owners and the accomplishment of all preliminary work.
 Then came the hardest work, the securing of permission from the gen eral assembly to divert the waters of the brook into the city's reservoir. A bitter fight ensued among the rep resentatives in both branches Of the state government and stubborn resist

ance was met by the commissioners They won out finally and the work was started and completed.
 The entire pipe line project had been finished three weeks ahead of the date on which it was to be opened, but careful inspection was made so that there might be no disappointment when the water was turned on. Then, cn November 10, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, the gates were opened and New Britain was assured of a water supply which has proved its useful ness through the intervening years.
