It's Worth No More

HAVE you seen the new dollar bills? President Cool

will be new issues of S. $40 and $50 bills The changes
are made to check counegfetng Each denomination of
new bills will be distinctly different from the Others

the numbers
The dollar still is worth only 62 cents compared with
Its value IN 1913. There seems to be way to recfy

Your Time

YOUNG men who wasting their time should read
and ponder the following, written some 200 wears
ago by the philosopher, Voltare:
Time is of all things in the world the longest and the
shortest the quickest and the slowest the most minute
and the greatest the most neglected and the most re-
Rarded-without which, nothing be done which de-
yours all that is little and gives permanent life to all that
IS great. '''"'
Nothing is longer than time because it is the measure
OF eternity Nothing is shorter because it is insufficient
Tor all our plans Nothing is slower for him who waits
nothing more rapid for him who enjoys.
Time stretches out to the infinite in greatness If ia
infinitely divsible in ttleness All men neglect time
All regret its loss Nothing be done without time
1t wipes out all that is unworthy of poserity and inn
mortalizes great things"
The procrastinator, who habtuay puts off until To-
morrow the things that should be done today will read
Voares bit of philosophy concerning time and reflect
"A fine sentiment, swell piece of writing"
That man is doomed to go thru life BOSSED
The man who later will be the procrastnator's ROSS
will ponder Voaires philosophy, recognize it as warn
ing and redouble his efforts to make hay while the sun
shines.

Rents Go On Forever

INCOME tax statistics tell the rent story as It has
i been and as it is today.
In 1920, we had prosperity" and large wages and
large incomes and large profits for our corporations
In 1921 we had "deflation" and hard times" and re-
duced wages and profit and incomes
Incomes from wages salaries and commissions fell off
by almost $1500000000 in 1921 compared with 1920
Incomes of corporations fell off by 95 per cent Incomes
from interest and dividends fell off
Everything indicating prosperity and accumulated
wealth fell of-everyhing except the income from rents
And the income from rent in 1921, the year of hard
times, was S13O0OO0O0 more than the income of 1920
High rents go forever

MELLON NOT TALKATIVE MAN
Secretary Of the Treasury viii Never
Mako Reputation as a Great
Conversationalist.

Two Scotsmen, noted for their rar-
ity of speech, were playing golf. Up
to the seventeenth hole neither spoke
a word.
1t began to rain and Sandy OBJ
served: "Shall we quit?"
"Chatterbox,' muttered his oppo-
nent, as he drove off the final.
Secretary Mellon is silent like that
writes "Girard" in the Philadelphia
Enquirer. If, as our copybooks in.
formed US, silence is golden, that. able
banker came by his great wealth in
the most natural way.
"This Is not talkative cabinet
that from a Philadelphia coal man
often brought into contact with Mr.
Hoover and others of the presiden.
tial family.
But" he continued, "Secretary
Mellon can say less in day than all

PROPHET TOLD OF LOCUSTS
Three Thousand Years Ago-cl-
cades Less Numerous.

The locust has been plague to man.
kind for centuries.
"The land Is as the Garden of Eden
before them," said the Prophet Joel
almost 5000 years ago, land behind
them wilderness; yea, nothing shall
escape them." He described the COM
ing Of the locusts as "a day of cloud
and thick darkness; as dusk spreads
over the mountains"
The periodical ciades, some Of
which appear every 13 and others ev-
cry II years, do not devastate the land
they pass over in the same degree az
locusts that descended from the arid
steppes Of Asia. Periodical cicades
are growing less numerous owing to
the cutting down of forests. The eggs
are laid in tender twigs Of trees, and
II no trees are at hand their propaga-
ton Is prevented to large extent.
Birds are enemies of the insects, es-
pecially the English sparrow. No rem
edy Is practicable against them in large
numbers over large areas.-Detroit

RUHR BLOCKADE
LIFTED BY ALLIES
Thousand of Germans Pass In
and Out of Ruhr when From
tier Is Opened.

.Berlin-The traffic blockade i'm
posed upon the Ruhr by the French
and Belgian troops has been lifted.
Allied authorities announced here.
A serious food shortage in the occu-
pied area resulted from imposition of
the blockade and hordes of foodstuffs
were piled high at the limitations Of
the forbidden zone. These could not
enter unless the occupiers' tax was
paid, and this the Germans had re-
fused to do.
1t is this ban on traffic which has
been raised.
The frontier separating the Ruhr
valley from the rest of Germany has
been opened.
Thousands Of Germans were passing
in and out Of the occupied region.
Making haste to transact urgent busi-
ness. They were anxious to accomplish
all possible during the present oppor-
tunity because of reports that the
frontier would be closed again in a
few days.

BoastfuI Man Got Away With Box Of

Reason.

A man was boasting to some others
he had met that he could take any
article from a shop without being de-
tected. One of his hearers bet him
that he could not take a box of choco-
lates In this way.
The man agreed and they went
along to a grocer's shop.
"You wait here" said the daring
one, land you'll see!"
With these words he went into the
shop, took a box Of chocolates from
the counter and walked out.
There you are" he said proudly.
"I've won the wager"
The stranger smiled.
you're very smart!" he answered.
"But I happen to be detective and
I am going to arrest you for stealing !"
"Wait a bit, SIR said the other
eoolly. II happen to be the proprietor
Of the shop!"

HARDING VISITS IN CANADA
Public VIII Responsible for Friendly
Relations, SAYS President.

Vancouver, B. C.-President Hard
ing in an address made during his
visit here-the first visit ever made
by an American president to Canada
pointed to the century old friend
ship between the people of Canada
and the people of the United States
as proof to the nations of Europe that
public will rather than public force is
the key to international peace.
"It is public will, not public force,
that makes for enduring peace" he
told his audience of Canadians, gath
cred in Stanley Park. And is it not
a gratifying circumstance that it has
fallen to the lot of us North Ameri-
cans, living amicably for more than a
century under different flags, to pre-
sent the most striking example yet
produced Of that basic fact? If only
European countries would heed the
lesson conveyed by Canada and the
