i7i There are favorable signs in Europe
for general prosperity.
roc From the Atlantic ocean to the
former famine districts of Russia ali
Europe is now harvesting the best
crops since the armistice. This
bumper crop means less necessity of
importing foreign foodstuffs at high
prices and more food for Europe's
working population,
The second outstanding favorable
symptom is the lessening of political
tension among the various powers.
The Graeco- Italian affair seems open
to settlement. The Turkish treaty
has been signed. Even the long
fostering wound of the reparations
question and the Ruhr may be in the
process OF healing.
Jobs ON Increase.
British unemployment is 100000 be-
low the figure on January 1. although
II still presents a perplexing problem
with 1,223,o0 unemployed August 20,
an increase of $4,000 from July %.
There has been u gradual slowing UP
In British industry, due to the CONT
mental situation. British trade for
the first seven months of the current
year is fs5,000.000 greater than in
1922. In the first six months of the
year the total French trade was
1908, 100000 francs greater than the
corresponding period last year. Brit
fsh taxation has been reduced, but in
spite Of this the budget will probably
show a surplus.
French budget receipts are so far
substantially above the estimates
while Italy shows probably the most
remarkable progress of any impor-
tant European country since the ad-
vent of the new government last Oc-
tober. British pig iron and steel pro-
duction for the first seven months OF

Signs of Prosperity Smile

this year is so per cent above last
years figures.
The Irish Free State has a balance
of revenue over expenditure, and the
orderly election through which Ire
land has just passed tests the degree
to which law and order have been
restored and indicates steady future
progress.
Czcchs Prosperous.
Czechoslovakia shows a brisk for
eign and domestic trade. Commercial
| treaties have just been consummated
or are now under consideration be-
tween that country and Switzerland,
Italy, France, Belgium and Latvia.
The currency is stable, and the coal
strike. which has recently hampered
industry. has been satisfactorily set
tied.
The general feeling of confidence
which made itself felt in Austria at
the beginning of the reconstruction
pereiod has continued. Bank deposits
are now increasing and the metallic
reserve of the Austrian National Bank
covers an increasing proportion OF
the note circulation. Cost OF ltvlng
has taken a decided drop.
Hungary Is looking forward to
similar reconstruction. Her un-
fortunate financial position has been
balanced this year by a very faVor-
able harvest
Denmark reports high activity in
all lines of industry. Foreign trade
is increasing. A bumper crop is eN-
peeted.
Sweden's industrial troubles seem
to have ended with the settlement OF
the iron workers strike.
In general. strikes and lockouts
are at a minimum over Europe, while
unemployment is decreasing.

Milk Producers Hail Pool.

cares to set is answered by the asso-
citation with the argument that the
law of supply and demand Will regu-
late the price. A spokesman declared
that milk was not necessity to the
extent that IL is used and that as the
cost might rise the consumption would
lessen with a resultant surplus and a
slump in price.
Raymond Wise of the Chevy Chase
Dairy. in explaining the stand OF the
dealers, declared that in reality the
fight is being carried on in the pub
lie behalf. He points out that the
outcome will have no bearing upon
the profits of the dealer, for il the
price to the farmer is raised the deal
erS will pass the increase along to
the public. If the price is lowered
the public is TO have the benefit of
the decrease.
DIR. Woods Backs Pool.
Backing the pool and opposing the
opening of new sources of milk. DR..
A. f. Woods, president of the Uni
versity of Maryland, in a statement,
declared:
The refusal of some of the Wash
ington dealers to buy from the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association. which is only a thiniy
veiled attempt to destroy the pro-
ducers association, is an endeavor to
Kill the goose that laid the golden
egg. Any attempt to find other
sources of milk than those already
tablished is absurd on its face. 1t
would require years to develop pro-
ducers of the same efficiency as those
who are now shipping milk to Wash
ington. Any attempt TO do so will
be unsuccessful for the very reason
that new producers will have no con-
fdence in the sta bility of the market"
Takes Opposite View.
Considering the question of quality
from another viewpoint. Stevenson A
Williams, an attorney of Bel Air, who
is the owner of two farms supplying
local distributor, said, in answer
to a request for an opinion on the
pooling contract:
Under the plan my milk is blended
with others, and if I have an excel
lent product l take the risk of blend
ing with inferior goods My tenants
lose the incentive of price for a high
class product resulting from their
own efforts"
The issue lies between the extremes
of cooperative selling and free and
unhampered exercise of the right Of
individual bargaining. The fight
promises to be a warm one.

Say people, have you heard of Poolesville 7
That place Of civil war fame:
If not. sit still and listen,
While weave its magic name.
First. Poolesvile stands for Poole,
From the earliest stage of its birth;
And the name and fame of that tribe.
Make its history of greater worth.
And Poolesville the mother of Williams.
OF Woottens and Whites galore
Old county that ne'er nurtured coward.
Along the stretches of thy Potomac shore.
You remember the little brick school house,
Where the famous Irishman taught;
And the sting of the reed and the ruler,
That our poor little bare hands caught.
The little old brick has passed away.
And long banished is the rod and the
rule;
The great Academy now towers aloft.
And love is the law Of the school.
Do you recall the little old brick church;
Still Drawing times havoc and loss;
Where we sat with our Mothers side by side.
And listened to the story of the cross.
The Amen corner where the Elders sat,
Solemn visaged as the Raven of Poe;
They prayed and shouted the terrors Of
Hell.
Til our young hearts quaked with woe.
The dear old church stands desolate and
lone.
Her walls re-echo the names of the dead
The great, new church a monument of love
Where the teachings Of Christ are spread
Poolesville stood sentry in the sixties.
'Twixt the Southern and Northern hosts
And many raids by the Rebel boys.
Were made on the Yankee posts.
o the Ides of October. that bright Sab.
bath eve,
All We old folks remember so well;
To old Doctor Poole the Union Colonel said,
Tomorrow we eat breakfast in Leesburl
or He'll"
Then bravely marching to capture Lees
burg,
Across both ferries to their doom;
From Balls Bluff returning all battered
and torn.
When the Rebels shot holes in their boom
Men living nowhere boys then.
Who will never forget that Rebel yell.
And the Union soldicr who fought and died
Carried that Echo with him to heavel
or hell.
But days that tried the souls of men.
Were banished by the Angel of Peace
And PooIesville rose from doubt and disma,
While happiness wrote new lease.
Thy angle on map gives business growth,
Commerce and fame reach farms an
hill;
The merchants push the eIectron button
of trade,
With leeer-de-main and skill.
Other towns in Old Montgomery land.
Tried to copy the Poolesville creed;
But PooIesville had her Wizards and FL
gins too.
Who showed them the meaning of speed
Then sing a song of the old town,
Let thy voices with accent rise;
For the glories of far famed Poolesville.
And her habitants great. good and wise
