The New Poland.
(New York Times.)

Ten years of reconstruction, since the Treaty of Versailles, have done wonders for independent Poland. fair start was not really made until the frontiers delineated early in 1923 But the national spirit in spite of it's bitter memories has been turned to the task of creating new Poland. Since January, 1919 there has been an increase of Is per cent in the population It exceeds OO00000 Sixty-five per cent. agricultural Poland has some unemployent but it is not in the featuring industries. Industrially Poland is work ing 65 per cent more hours than in 1926 The new Poland is organized for the welfare of al and cooperation is the order of the day Many miles of roads have been constructed, parks have been laid out public buildings and schools of attractive archi- lecture have been built
 The Poles have scorned the propaganda of the Third International Their progress in the last ten years is most impressive. It s perhaps, to the best advantage in the development of the Port of Gydnia, fishing village seven years ago. Today Gdynia is the most modern of Baltic ports. It has warehouses, power stations cranes, coal and ships stores. In commerce it may surpass the ancient Port of Danzig Already there is promise that Gdynia will have a capacity of 15,000,000 tons of freight year But Danzig is prospering. In 1913 its volume of traffic 1,870000 tons compared with 8520000 for 1928
 To appreciate what the Poles doing for them selves, with the aid of improving credit, it must be considered that in the 1785OOO structures including bridges warehouses and stores, public utility buildings, churches, schools and dwellings were destroyed. Since the armistice than ZOOO miles of railway nave been built In total mileage Poland stands fifth in Europe Roll ing stock has been trebled Agricultural products are showing a remarkable increase compared with prewar days. The production of coal 40611 ,000 tons in 1928, compared with 25 900 in 1919 Shipping lines have been established. Charles S. Dewey, financial adviser to the Polish Government reported in the last of May a surplus of $22, ,440 900 for the year endd March 3l 1928 Populas edu- cation neglected in the pre-war period Today there 3500000 children in the elementary schools and in cphr o1c uI,iIa tIaro 10000 pupils at six universities The phenomenal advance of Poland is reflected in the great ex- hibton now open in Posen after two years of preparation

SEAL ROOKERIES YIELD RICHES.

Results of sealing activities this season on the Pribilof Islands demonstrate the ef- ficacy of the Governments conservation pol
 icy. Skins totaled 39253, which is more than
 any previous annual take by the Bureau
 of Fisheries. The kill has no appreciable
 effect on the herd, which still counts more
 than 100000 and is larger now than ever before in its known history
 For forty years previous to 1910 the
 Pribilof sealing privilege was leased to a
 commercial company. While no census of
 animals taken prior to Federal control,
 undoubtedly their number large at the
 beginning of private operations The herd
 was subjected to ruthless slaughter. One
 hundreds thousand skins were taken in one
 year. At the end of the private lease
 cording to Government enumeration, there
 fewer than 100000 seals. If Federal
 management had been deferred much longer
 the herd would have been reduced beyond
 hope of restoration.
 The skins are sold by the Government
 at auction in St. Louis. Values vary from
 year to year with the condition of belts
 and the demand. If average prices of the
 last few seasons obtain again this season.
 and there is no probability of recession
 about $2500,0O0 will be realized from this
 years take.
 The industry preserved and enhanched
 by the Federal Government, is a rich re-
 source that promises to be perpetual. But
 from the returns, Alaska profits nothing
 Some of the proceeds from the auction sales
 should be apportoned to the Territorial
 treasury.-(Seattle Times.)
 Alaskans grateful for the suggestion of tn Times that some of the proceedings of the sale o seal belts from the Pribilof Islands should be ap to the Alaska Territorial treasury Gov ernment officials have repeatedly recommended tha at least half of the returns ought to be so appro priated. Some day perhaps if little more actyit, should be exerted by the Territory, Congress ma, act on the suggestion.
 The Times mistakes when it says the presen seal herd estimated to contain more than 8OOOO animals is larger than ever before in it known history It is much larger than it has beer since the Government undertook control of tn catch, and for many years before. But it is knowi that 1t was much larger when the old flask, Commercial Company got its first exclusive leas of the Pribof Islands
 However, at the rate the herd is growing if thu international treaty under which the United State Is acting is continued in force it will not be man, years uitil the herd will be larger than the prev louse high estimate of 2,500OO0 to 30OOo0o seals Tn eighteen years it has incerased more than 26. per cent. At that rate the number will be ap proximately 100000 eighteen years from now.

 The clarion call of President Hoover the other day for the reduction of army expenses emphasized the fact that America spends 82 cents of every Federal tax dollar for war, war debts, or war purposes-armes navies, defenses pensions, interest on loans and the long train of calamities that follow war For the 18 cents of Federal tax that is not spent for buy good deal-indeed, all the other departments of government.
 With Is cents left in each of those $4000000,- 900 after paying for buy new Post Offices and public buildings make our water ways improvements, conduct farm relief, run the Post Offices, look after floods, hire judges run our courts build great projects like Boulder Dam and conduct orderly, peaceful happy, prosperous, useful civilization.

Puts An End To
 buIiol1 Pains
No Need to Suffer Another Day

There is one simple yet inexpen- sive way to reduce inflammation of swollen toe joints and help get them down to normal and that is to apply Mooae's Emerald on night and morning.
 Ask Fair Drug Dept. or any first class druggist for an original twe- ounce bottle of MO0ne's Emerald Oil (full strength) and refuse to ac- cept anything in its place. It is such highly concentrated preparation that two ounces lasts long time and furthermore If one bottle Of Emerald OH does not give you com plete satisfaction you can have your money refunded.
 Special note: People who want to reduce swollen or varicose veins should get . bottle of Moooe's Em- erald Oil at once. Applied night and morning as directed they will quick ly notice an improvement which will continue until the veins and punches are reduced to normal.

seamen.
 As we proceeded toward the Florida, Mir. Manning and dis cussed brifly the plan of rescue but our plans were necessarily de- pendent upon the situations as they arose. The most important thing was to see that sufficient provisions and water were in the boat, a com pass, several lengths of rope. flares. flashlights. hand lantern and buckets for bailing. Every man wore a life belt. But it is always wise to re-check and make certain that everything is in satisfactory condition. Lifeboat Number One was decided upon as it was nearer the bow from which the crew would have to pull on their start across the waters for the Florida.
 Our plans for the boat getting away worked perfectly. However. it had not progressed very far be- fore the unexpected happened.
 White caps suddenly began to appear on the heavy swells. Then came a snow squall. The wind was increasing in force. An hour after the boat had left the side of the America the wind was blowing at hurricane velocity and a blinding rain was pelting the rescuers.
 The visibility was poor as the boat started from the Florida. A fashlight was blinking. MT. Man ming evidently was trying to get some message to me but we could not make it out due to the rise and fall of the boat. For moment thought something was wrong. The America was being maneuvered. l was trying to watch every detail and every man in sight to make sure he was carrying out his orders. The America was giving but slight protection to our little boat. but what little there was 1t helped. l could see them struggle.
