lures, has like a stone cast into a quiet pool, caused many nipples of speculation as to where and when reductions might be made.
 At time when the business of mechanizing the war machine is of increasing interest and import to all nations, the projected study of costs has caused wide discussion.
 The President has pointed out that the national defense outlay for 1883 will be S8o3, 100000, some S120,000, ,O00 more than similar ex- penditures for the fiscal year just ended. He compared that with pre- war activities for military activi- ties of the army and navy of $266,- 0O0,000 annually.
 Aircraft cost plenty of money. The big army bombers range around S60,000 to $70,000 each. The navy spent SlS4,oO0 alone for a single giant experimental patrol boat the XPY-1.
 The two 6000, ,000-cubi foot navy dirigibles now building will cost $8, 900, ,000; an experimental metal clad dirigible under construction for the navy will represent an ex- penditure of $300,G00
 Under the five-year pros m, coz 7Qo 750 was sat aside for navy air expansion There are to be 1000 planes in commission at that time. The army, under the same program at the end of the five years will

have 1900 planes ready to range the skies.
 The army accounts for the 1890 increase as being due to automatic advance of officers to higher pay rates, an increase in officer strength of 200 to provide for additional officers for the air corps; an in- crease in the retired lists for of ficers and enlisted men. and ifi- creased amounts expended for con- struction of barracks and quarters.
 Where, runs the popular question, are obsolete military arms that the President hopes may be done way with? The cavalry?
 But, technicians point out. if the man on the horse is done away with by mechanization, his place will have to be taken He will have to be superseded for tactical pur- poses by soldiers in armored cars.
 Another conjecture is tn at it might be economical to concen- trate the American standing army at one or two posts in the conti- mental United States. There are many posts now with few men and officers.
 But army posts are local politi- cal asset and always have been.
 Whatever the eventful findings of the proposed board, the Presi- dents announced plans have set technicians and statisticians to do- ing a lot of quiet figuring.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6. = Many a gangster has been taken for ride" because he talked too much, but Henry W. Nelson, 23-year-old athlete-bandit, is in jail because he talked too much on ride.
 Nelson was too proud of the lau- rels won by his strong, sleek body ever to get his papers as modern journeyman highwayman. He had to tell a girl victim how good he was. Now he's in ceii, go crimes con fessed, his easy money" scheme gone bitterly away.
 Winner of a score of sporting trophies, many of the skating med- als in Chicago, the international amateur skating champion in 1927, when he was also joint holder of the national championship, star sprinter and rated cracking first baseman when he played with the Peoria team of the Three-I League, Nelson might have served as a model for American boys a few months ago.
 He is stalwart, more than 6 feet tall, clean-cut and of intelligent appearance. He lives on a rigid training schedule = no coffee, no tobacco, no liquor.
 1 He had a $65-a-week job with a wholesale grocery house. This ne gave up for the "easy money he thought crime would bring.
 Police were without clews to a series of holdups until Nelson and a pal stole car in Evanston, kid naping Dolores Bannon, g, who was drowsing in it, and forcing her to accompany them on a robbery tour in another suburb.
 Dolores wept in fright while Nel- son, with school-boy braggadocio related his athletic triumphs, em- phasizing his skill with skates. He didn't give his name, of course, but Dolores, for all her tears, was g good listener. She learned enough that when she told police her story they checked over athletic records put two and two together and made four.
 Then a nationwide search be- gan. Nelson's picture was broad cast. Police thought he would be captured next winter at some ict event. But two dtectives, investi- gating suspicious car, found hin by accident in Chicago. Nelson ran easily sprinting away from tho plain clothes men, but they halted him with shots.
 Nelson confessed almost gladly and when victims had trouble ir identifying him supplied incident: of the crime to refresh their mem. ories.
 T might as well tell all," he com. Imented. If I don't some of it vii confront me later. I've been duml Ienough to get into this, and Tn willing to serve my rap. I'v' learned enough during the last few months to sicken me of easy mon. ley for the rest of my life"
 Nelson laughed at the suggestion he might be mentally unbalanced.
 You can hardly lay this dumi lineup to anything but my owr shortsightedness. I refuse to alib lon such a weak defense"

KEEPSAKE MILL.

Over the borders, a sin without pardon,
Breaking the branches and crawling below,
Out through the breach in the wall of the garden
Down by the banks of the river, we go.
Here is the mill with the humming of thunder,
Here is the weir with the wonder of foam
Here Is the sluice with the race running under
Marvellous places, though handy to home!
Sounds of the village grow stiller and stiller,
Stiller the note of the birds on the hill;
Dusty and dim are the eyes of the miller
Deaf his ears with the MOL of the mill.
Years may go by and the wheel in the river
Wheel as it wheels for us, children to-day,
Wheel and keep roaring and foaming for ever
Long after all of the boys are away
Home from the Indies and home from the ocean,
Heroes and soldiers we all shall come home;
Still we shall find the old mill wheel in motion,
Turning and churning that river to foam.
You with the bean that gave when we quarreled,
l with your marble of Saturday last,
Honoured and old and all gaily apparelled,
Here we shall meet and remember the past.

Money System Near Crisis
By LELAND OLDs, Federated Press

increasing mountain of credit on a
small gold base. 1t is the secret
which has given the bankers SUI
preme power. The pooling of gold
reserves in central banks like the
federal reserve is the most recent
invention for increasing this bank
ing power. The proposed world re-
parations may prove the basis for
a world bank reserve which will
give the bankers their final fling.
After the possibilities of world
Capitalization have been developed
to the limit there will be no next
step. Capitalism will have rushed
headlong to its climax and the in
flation inherent in its nature will
burst. The resulting disorganiza-
ton will mark the end not of a
cycle but an epoch.
The widespread acceptance of
theories which advocate increasing
initiation as a permanent cure for
capitalist instability forecasts an
approaching crisis. Resort to ar
tificial stimulation has passed
from an occasional habit to per-
manent necessity. The only road
to health involves alteration of the
system in the direction of giving
the workers a bigger share. Profi-
teer madness is unlikely to permit
such a change.

Capitalism is rapidly approach
ing a cross roads where neither
way offers the prospects of its get
ting through intact. One way in
wolves declining prices leading al
most Immediately into depression
with increasing unemployment. The
other means temporary easy going
along the lines of the present de-
ceptive prosperity, but ultimate
catastrophe threatening the very
existence of the present economic
order.
The choice lies between contrac-
ton of the present oversupply Of
credit with the resulting decrease
in the demand for goods and con-
'inuation on the path of initiation,
expanding bank credit to whatever
extent necessary to maintain the
demand for the products of indus
try.
The economists of the world are
divided on this sorry choice. One
group clings to initiation as cure
for the periodic depressions of the
old capitalist cycle. The other
group sees that artificial stimula-
ton must eventually end in col
lapse.

Strikes Gain Higher Wages In
Germany
By LELAND OLDs, Federated Press

The struggle for world markets
coupled with a steadily rising cost
of living produced an almost in
cessant series of wage disputes in
Germany during 1928, according to
report on the present position of
German labor by A. F. Rockwell of
the U. S. department of commerce.
Rockwell notes that on the whole
the workers emerged successful,
5atIIIIIg increases averaging go Tor
skilled workers and about go for
unskilled workers.
In the majority of cases the gov
eminent was compelled to settle
the dispute by arbitration of a
more or less compulsory character
but before agreements there were
strikes and lockouts causing the
loss of a total of 10,450, 478 work
ing days. This is the third high
est figure since the reintroduction
of normal conditions following the
sterilization of the currency. In
1927 strikes and lockhouts caused
a loss of 6,005,950 work days while
in 1926 only 1,4O4,875 work days
were lost on account of such dis
putes.
A single dispute which paralyzed
the Ruhr iron and steel industry
for five weeks beginning Nov. /
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1929-06-21

was responsible for about half of
all the days lost on account of in
dustrial conflict throughout the
year. Other serious encounters be-
tween capital and labor occurred
in the shipyards and in the textile
industry.
The average weekly wages of
German industrial workers on Jan.
1 1000 in industries covered by
government reports o.I.4,~..4tad 70
$12.46 for skilled workers and $3.50
for unskilled workers. At the
beginning of 1923 the figures were
$11.84 and 1854.
"There are further indications, /"
says Rockwell "that German labor
is still seeking to improve it's wage
levels. The railroad personnel is
now asking for increases which, it
is claimed would add nearly $780,
100000 to the payroll. Difficult
ties in the Ruhr coal mines also
have been apparent. Bank employees
are negotiating for higher compen-
sation."
A cable to the department an
nounces that government arbitra-
ton in the Ruhr coal dispute has
granted a $40 wage increase to
remain in effect until Sept. 80
1880.

RECENT RAINS IMPROVE RANGE
CONDITIONS: STOCK GAINING

Helena, Mont.-Continued cold
weather throughout April and the
greater part of May with precipi-
tation much below normal in most
sections of the state retarded range
growth and prevented livestock
from gaining much in flesh, but
heavy rains during the last week
in May and the first week in June
have practically reversed these I'M
favorable conditions, according to
the latest report of the Montana
stockmen to the State-Federal crop
reporting service.
On June LIST, Landing operations
were nearing completion in all sec
tons of the state, and the lamb
crop is reported to have been re-
duced somewhat by the unfavor-
able weather conditions at Landing
time. Breeding ewes are in good
shape. There has been some loss
of old ewes. Cows are reported in
good condition with a good calf
crop. Few sales of cattle, lambs
or wool have been reported.
RANGES: The prospects for
range feed were reported as un-
favorable due to cold weather and
lack of moisture until recent gen.
eral rains have relieved the moist
ure situation and greatly improved
the outlook for summer range. The
condition figure for ranges on
June l, 1929 was placed at 80 per
cent normal compared with 100
last month and 100 on June 1.
1928.
CATTLE: With the exception of
the extreme northwestern and
western part of the state where
cattle were reported to have made
some gain, the weather and range
conditions which until recently have
been unfavorable caused cattle to
lose slightly and resulted in a dron
IN condition of one point compared
with a month ago. Condition on
June l, 1929 placed at 81 per cent
of normal compared with 90 a
month ago and the June l condition
of a year ago of 81 per cent. Cows
are in good condition and the calf
crop is reported as being normal or
better.
SHEEP & LAMBS: Breedin0
ewes are generally reported in
good condition but frequent men
ton was made this month of tha
early loss in old ewes. 1t now de-
velops that the spring storms and
general cold weather during most
of April and the first half of NJ
have caused a somewhat b;oLa,.
loss of lambs than was tho1nS+
probable on May 1. LambinU s.,
