The Cordova daily times., 1923-04-12
By LORD DEciES Enalish Financial Authority Ed. Note-The pound sterling at par is equal to $4.S725.

LONDON, April 12.-The steady re- covery of the pound sterling towards par is one of the romances of finan- cial history. Slowly but steadily it has crept up in value from the dark days of 1920, when it stood at $3.1S, to the present time, when it is worth about 34.7O. Throughout that period the pound has been a barometer of Brit aims national prosperity. When it reaches par we can confidently expect better days to come.
 Look at only one of the striking con- seuuences of the rise to normal. We shall pay nearly million pounds less each year on our debt to the United States. Under the terms of the recent agreement the annual charge which we have to meet must be paid in dol lars. Calculated at par this amount is 30,00O,O0O pounds. Calculated with the change at a little over 19 shil- Iings, as has been the case up to the present, it is almost 31,000,000 pounds.
 Apart from the comparatively mar be over-sanguine if we look forward to fall in the cost of living in Brit ain England is great importing country, and from the United States she imports three main commodities on which her life depends-wheat, cot ton and copper. The result of the re- turn to the normal exchange will mean that these commodities will cost the consumer less.
 Calls Tariff "Barrier"
 But before the full effect of the rise in the pound can be felt barrier which America herself has set up will have to be removed. The barrier is the tariff. All trade is a question of exchange If we import goods from the United tSates it is fundamental axiom that in some way or another we must pay for them in goods. The normal method of payment is by send ing our own goods in return. Trade is only question of barter, however complicated the transaction may be- come through the march of civiliza- tion.
 But America apparently does not want our goods. She has set up a tariff on practically every commodity of importance which we export, with the result that she must be regarded as wealthy customer who is dead.
 Since, therefore, we are debarred from paying for our cheaper imports in goods we must pay in gold. That is the last thing America desires, since

BULL CARA WOULD KEEP
 ALTAR OF ROSES PURE

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 12.-The adulteration of altar of roses, one of Bulgaria's most interesting and prof itable industries, has developed tc the point where the government has found it necessary to intervene.
 Essence of geraniums has been used in the debasing of this perfume and so skillfully that it has been difficult to prove the presence oi the cheaper and more common ex- tract. The result has been very detrimental to trade in genuine attal of roses It has not only weakened confidence in the purity of the true product. but has had disastrous effect on prices.
 The government has introduced in Parliament a bill appropraiting one million levas to be offered in prizes |, to scientists who discover a process for the certain detection of the pres ence of adulterants in Bulgarian at tar of roses.

CHURCH LAITY WANTS PART
 IN NAMING ENGLISH BISHOPS

LONDON, April 12.-The appoint ment of bishops in the Church of England, which is the prerogative of the prime minister, has again been attacked by members of the Church.
 The question was brought before a committee of the recent National Assembly of the church but no ac- tion was taken, although large section of the low church members urged that the matter be brought before the main body of the as- sembly.
 The matter was again before the public at the recent convocation of the Lower House of York, when a motion was made that the church

EVANSTON, H., April 12.-To give to every nameless babe Of this city a name and home; to give every childless home a healthy, happy babe that's the aim of a newly organized nursing home opened here and known as "The Cradle"
 "The Cradle" was established to meet the increasing demand for adopted babies which has come to present something of a problem to welfare workers. It represents the results of years of study and ex- perience in caring for homeless babes by Mrs. William B. Walraith, in charge, put into practice And, Mrs. Walraith asserts, it is to be operated along lines entirely differ ent from those of any similar or ganizatiUn in the past.
 An ideal nursery will be one fea- ture. There eight babies will be kept at all times under the care of nurse, Shlllet III CIS Sdl U oI Shii dren. These children will be avail able for adoption.
 Couples will take the children given them or none, according to the plan. They will not be per mitted to "pick the children as ii they were strawberries,' as one woman prominent in putting the home into operation put it. Mrs Walraith will, under the plan, choose a babe she thinks best suited to the needs of the couple calling. That babe and no other will even be shown them. Under this arrangement, it is pointed out, there will be no "left-overs and hand-me downs"
 In addition to caring for babes whose parents are unable to give them home, or foundlings, "The Cradle will be made a haven for girls who have met with misfortune There they will find women who have been mothers and who will

RISE OF POUND STERLING
 MEANS MUCH TO ENGLISH
 PROSPERITY, SAYS EXPERT

she already possesses considerably more than one-half of the gold that the world contains. We are, there fore, in a deadlock.
 Must Remove Deadlock But it is a deadlock which l confi' dently believe the natural force of eco homie law will remove. Already America is seeing that by refusing our exports she is curtailing her own ex- ports. And she is realizing that ii she will not forego her debt she will have to forego her tariff.
 Be that as it may, the return of the pound to par will consolidate Eng lands position as the financial center of the world. When the pound was falling the tendency of the world was to look to New York. But gradually, as we balanced our budget and guar anteed our solvency, the pendulum swung back, and when normal condi- tions obtain it is unlikely that our SUI premacy will again be challenged. World shipping is a main factor in es- tablishing a nation as a financial lead CT and as long as England maintains her supremacy in shipping and the pound keeps at par her position is as sured.
 Another clear benefit remains. Brit ain can expect to attract further for elgn capital The great investing pub lie in Paris, in Buenos Aires, in New York and of course, in our own coun- try, will have a clear inducement to place their money in Britain.
 Need Foreign Capital
 They will not only obtain security for themselves by their very pur- chase of our securities they will cause their securities to be more greatly i'll demand and consequently to rise. It may be said that, with the low rate of interest in England we have no need to use foreign money But ln the long run, every influx of money means new activities, new factories and more work. Thus it is not too much to say that before long the rise of the pound will have beneficial ef- feet upon our problem of unemploy- ment and might, by stimulating trade, been beneficial to our taxpayers.
 America is anxious to do her best to help. As the holder of the greater part of the worlds gold, she has as sisted the pound to rise, and it is not impossible that she might, ii she so desired, use her influence to depress it.
 Therefore, one of the chief reasons why we should hail with satisfaction the return of the pound to normal is that it registers the high-water mark of Anglo-American relations.

nlDENENDENT DRY
 SEEKS PRESIDENCY
Georgia Man Won't Run With Any Any Particular Party; Has
 Many Friends

ATLANTA, Ga, April 12-The at tention of the voters of the United
 States is respectfully called to Pro- lessor Arthur M. Teague, Rural
 Route 2, Fairmount, Georgia, who recently announced his candidacy for
 President of the United States, sub
 ject to the action of no particular
 party, in 1924.
 Professor Teague has announced
 that his keynote speech will be de- livered and that his campaign will be formally launched at Sallacoa School House, on the aforementioned rulal route, in the near future. The
 launching will be strictly informal
 and slightly unorthodox, and the pro- lessor announced that there will be
 no champagne, nor anything that in these "dry" days would so appear,
 used in these ceremonies.
 Teague gave special assurances of this, for he has pronounced "dry" tendencies.
 Opposes Strong Drink
 He is opposed to strong drink in any form and will make his race on the Independent Prohibition plat form-which, it is easy to see, will
 provide him with much more space and infinitely more blanks than are necessary for the staging of a six day bicycle race.
 Teague is negotiating with the accept the responsibilities and emolu-
 ments as his campaign manager. "The chief reason 1 want to be President" Teague said, lis to veto the light wine and beer act. l never took a drink of liquor of any sort, and I am going on 39 years old. 1 have never used tobacco in any form either, although 1 think a man has the right to smoke or chew, if he wants to- However, liquor under
 mines the morals and should be
 abolished-but it hasn't been yet Man of Many Trades Professor Teague has been a school teacher, a carpenter and a house building contractor. He was born in DeKalb County, Alabama, and was reared in Barlow County, Georgia. He has been in 34 States and has left friends everywhere,
 "who will rally to my support" he says.
 q spent 10 years in Texas, and
 I was neighbor of Joe Bailey.
 q have been out of the United States four times-three times l was in Washington, D. C., and once in Mexico"
 The professor states that he was petitioned to run for the Presidency in 1920 and gave the matter serious consideration, but this time, he says,
 the tide is so strongly in his favor that he cannot resist the call to serve
 the great common people of his be- loved country.
 "I have never run for public of- flee before," Teague stated. But my grandfather was high sheriff of Union County.
 "Just as soon as I get over an at
 tack of flu I am going to start my campaign"

It Is the most convenient age to bring

my colts for the critical time of wean-

mother Is taken away.
In vogue there are two methods Of
weaving where the separation may be
either sudden or prolonged. In the lat

three times daily and the colt al

MAKING PROFIT FROM SHEEP
Farmers Feeding Alfalfa Hay and
Paying Attention to Lamb Crop
Make Most Money.

II Is what goes into the Sleeps
stomach that determines how the own
er will close his books at the end Of
the year. During the past year 81
owners of fine wooded flocks kept
strict accounts OF their herds. From
these accounts 1t was shown that
farmers feeding limited amount Of
good alfalfa hay and giving attention
TO the lamb crop, received profits, even
with wool and mutton prices at the level
they have been this past year.
The five farms where wool was pro-
duced most economically showed an
average cost of 1914 cents per pound.
The remaining % farms required 37.5
cents to produce each pound. The
best farms raised Al lambs per 100
head Of sheep. while the flocks that
lost money raised an average of 70
lambs per 100 sheep. These records
were taken in Morgan and Noble coun-
ties, Ohio.
