MONEY TALKS

Said the German mark toI the Jap
anese yen, you're the funniest coin
I've seen in ] don't know wlleil." Said
the japanese yen to the German mark,
Now, let's be frank-withs all your
marks you haven't cent in The bank. "
"Pon't peso fresh" said the Turkish
plaster, "you may spend coin but we
spend it fiaster.v Now the English
pound heard the Chinese tael and
called the Ecuador sucrei and then
asked the Serbian to dinar.
The Russian ruble said to the Ital-
ian Ira, "You can't make me sore,
when need money why just print
more" The sequel to this story can
easily be told, the man who has real
money is the man that holds the gold.
Every nation has coin that is trying
hard to holler, but the one that makes
the loudest noise--is the good old u.
s. $$$.

WONDER WHY?

If the Hunt paet-packed conference members
are right in their contention that the Colorado
river belongs to Arizona, and Arizona can collect
royalty regardless of all the rest of the United
States, including the seven states which furnish
water, why shouldn't Coconino county, through
which the river runs and where dam sites are
most prevalent, demand all royalty and COM
plete jurisdiction over any development made?
If Arizona can secede from u. S. control, why
can't Coconino county secede from the state of
Arizona and Hunt control?
Barnum, of course, was right, but he never
tried to pull as raw a stunt as Gov. Hunt has at
tempted Ignorance is a great factor in Gov
Hunts river program, but he has over-estimated
that element in Arizona.

The State Board Of Education has
gone on record as recommending a

There is a danger that the appro-

cut. Should these recommendations
be carried out it would mean one
thing: Delaware schools win depend

Already the minimum salary
paid in Delaware is $3.50 per year

Whsle former Judge David T.

state Highway Commission and
urged that the next improvement
made by them in Sussex county
should be the completion Of the road
from Georgetown to Lewes and from
shat road 10 Rehoboth.
Judge Marvel set forth as reasons
for this work as follows:
First. # is the plan of road build
ing Everywhere to connect centers
Of population with their county
seats. This plan has been carried
out substantially in Sussex county.
to the extent that all towns in the
county Of any size are connected

on the other hand there has been
built on the western side of the

heaviest taxpaying hundred in the

err travel the year around on the
road from Georgetown TO Lewes

ty.
Fourth, connecting the Lewes

conrect that town with the county /
