THE IMPORTANCE OF
FOREIGN TRADE

For many decades we have pro-
duced a surplus OF products of the
farm that has been sold in foreign
countries. As long as we continue
to produce a surplus above domestic
consumption, II is prime necessity
that there be market for II. II Is
true that this surplus Is but frac-
ton OF our total production. Never.
theless. II exerts an effect upon the
price OF the entire output which is
entirely disproportionate to its rela.
tive size. A country store.keeper may
sell a hundred straw hats at a fair
margin OF profit. but the twenty which
he may not be able 10 sell at all will
wipe out the profit on the entire
stock. The same thing Is true OF
wheat. OF corn, OF any product OF
the farm.
1t is true that we might exist with.
out foreign trade. that we might
depend exclusively upon domestic
consumption. To do that. however.
would require complete reorganiza.
tion OF our whole commercial and
Industrial structure, a reorganization
which would require years Of time
and which would entail losses beyond
calculation. The more reasonable
alternative Is to take steps toward the
restoration OF n normal foreign mar.

BLACK OXEN is
BIG PHI D 7 OPLAY

BLACK Oxen" featuring Corinne
Griffith and Conway Tearle,
coming attraction at the Rylander,
is looked upon as one of the big
cinema events of the season in
Americas.
The best selling novel of 1928, in
book form Black Oxen" is said to
have been greatly enhanced by the
elaborate filming. Dealing with the
romance that develops when the re-.

TO America on business trip and
finds the first true love she has
known, BLACK Oxen" presents more
than usual interest to picturegoeis,

the Rylander on Monday and Tues

artistic temperament and takes
you right into the intimate and priv

Fish may have been made before
animals, but some fish were named
after animals.
There is the "dogfsh," so called
because it hunts around the ocean
in packs like hounds or beagles. The
Catfish" gets it's name because it has
long feelers about its mouth that look
like cats whiskers. There is no doubt
about where the 'bullhead" gets its
name, for it has a very broad head
with sharp, stiff horns above its eyes.
The "bOarfsh," which is not often
heard Of has a head somewhat like
boar with its mouth at the end of
a turned-up "snout" The "eagle ray"
has fins that spread out like eagles
wings. The "parrotfsh" has parrot
like jaws and a brilliant coloring
much like that of q parrot, while the
"wolf fish," unlike most fish, has teeth
which he uses as ferociously as his
namesake.

HAWK NABS PIGEON IN CITY
Bird of Prey Swoops Down in New
York Street and Captures Unsus-
pecting Dove.

A group of pigeons were peacefully
and happily feasting on stray grains
of oats that had fallen from horses
feed bags the other day in Greeley
square when they became aware of
approaching danger. They took swift
ly to wing, but one of their number,
little slower in starting, was trapped.
A big hawk-a sight unusual to city
dwellers-which had been circling
above the group for some seconds, de-
scended like a stone from the sky,
seized the dilatory pigeon in his talons
and bore him away.
Few noticed the incident. The
hawk after some moments of search
carried his prey to the top of large
electric sign where he was somewhat
hidden from view, and a moment after
ward. white and gray fugitive feathers
came floating down bearing mute testi-
mony to the tragedy being enacted
Some time later the hawk, his meal
over, rose from his perch, circled a
few times and then flew due vest

KEYLESS LOCK is INVENTED
Is So Simple in Operation That
Small Child Can Easily
Open Doors.

A keyless lock, recently placed upon
the market, resembles in appearance
almost any other door lock in a general
way, having a handsome door plate
and knob, but at the right side and a
little below the knob is a series of four
small levers. These operate in various
combinations known only TO those who
are permitted free access to the house,
and can be changed to q different com
bination when necessity demands. The
lock can be adjusted so that it will
lock on closing or by turning the
small button underneath the knob. 1t
is opened by pulling upward one or
more times on one or more of the
levers at the side.
SO simple is its operation that a
child too small to unlock a door by
means of a key can readily gain ad-
mittance with the keyless lock. This
keyless mechanism can be attached to
any standard lock, so that the pur-
chase of an entire new lock is not
necessary in order to have the ad-
vantages of the keyless lock. A key
less paddock is also manufactured
with 3S,005 different combinations.

ABOUT OUR WANDERING BOY
Each Generation BelieVea That the
Next Is the Worst
Ever.

The gray-haired generation is for
ever taking snapshots at the rising
one. There is an indicated wonder
ment as to the whereabouts of the
wandering boy this evening. Grand
father is blaming the parents. He is
utterly obliyious of the fact that his
criticism is a reflection upon his own
methods of discipline. Boys and girls
have Jared forth at evening in other
generations. They have wandered far.
They will continue the habit as other
generations rise. Do parents have
any control over their children? The
query has been running for a couple
of thousand years at least and we are
all sure that the boys and girls we
now have are quite the most vicious
and sophisticated the world has ever
had. We said it OF the last generation
and will broadcast it for the next.
1t is the one theme that never fails.-

Brides Weep Eicht DAYS,

The Bahuma trlbesmen in Uganda,
central Alphabetically in the heart
Of the world-are the widest and
most uncivilized people of the world
They have unusually peculiar Gus
toms. Perhaps the most interesting
of these is the manner in which
bride is supposed to conduct herself
before her marriage.
To begin with, a bride is literally
dragged away from her home by her
husband. Her family ties a rope
around her leg and hold fast to her.
Then the bridegroom pulls as hard
as he can. If he cannot succeed in
overpowering the strength of his
brides family they weaken their hOld
on the fetter and make it appear that
the husband has won his tug-of-war
Then the victorious bridegroom
takes his bride to the home of his
mother. The most passionate weep
ing is done by the bride. She cries
for eight days without stopping.-De-

GRANITE HILL IN WYOMING
independence Rock Covers an Area of
Five Acres and Is Three Hun
dred Feet High.

Independence rock, located a few
hundred yards from the right bank of
the Sweetwater river in Wyoming, on
the original Great Salt Lake trail, is
an isolated mass of clear granite. Its
base covers an area of nearly five
acres and rises to height of about
500 feet.
There is a slight depression on its
summit, otherwise the rock would be
nearly oval in shape. In the early
days of the trail little soil, which
had probably drifted into the depres-
sion, supported a few sickly shrubs
and one dwarf tree. The front face
of this ancient landmark, like that
of Pawnee rock, on the old Santa Fe
trail, is covered with the names of
trappers, traders, emigrants and other
men who supposed that their rude
carvings would immortalize them.
The rock receives its patriotic name
from the fact that many years ago
one Of the first party of Americans
who crossed the continent by the way
Of the Platte valley, celebrated their
Fourth of July at the foot of the now
historic mass of granite. The most
prominent inscription on the face Of
the rock is Independence" e"-Detroit
