POWER CONSULTATIONS IN NEW
 YORK.

The consolidation of New York water power re- sources under the control of Morgan interests has become topic of general discussion. Senator Walsh of Montana declares that it is hindrance to the development of the potential power of the St. Lawrence River and the St. Lawrence waterway Gov Roosevelt has taken strong ground against the development of the St. Lawrence hydro-eectric power by private companies. He declares recent consolidation of power resources makes it imperative that the State of New York begin the development of the St. Lawrence power possibilities at once He will urge next winter that the Legislature adopt the plan that it ignored last winter which would authorize the State to proceed with the project immediately.
 Gov. Roosevets plan like the one urged by Gov Smith, is for the State to develop the water power and lease it to private companies for dis tribution. However. many of those who are opposed to public ownership oppose State development They would have the power developed owned and dis tributed through private ownership and control

TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBITION ARE
 DIFFERENT

Some of the organizations that seeking to stop the use of alcoholic liquor a beverage have transferred their intensive activities from Prohibit ton enforcement to furtherance of educational campaign for temperance and against the evils of intoxcation. They are moving along sane and sensible lines
 There is absolutely no connection between the case against the use of alcoholic liquor and that in support of the Eighteenth Amendment and the volstead Act. The Eighteenth Amendment and the volstead Act have converted people to the support of egalized liquor traffic than to opposing it. They have made people drink than they have caused to stop drinking as matter of principle In short temperance making faster and surer headway before got Prohibition than it has made under Prohibition.
 Concede, therefore, the soundness of the argu- ments in favor of sobriety in favor of teetotaism if you please and yet the against the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act is so strong that one would think that intelligent and tolerant people who mix about the world would unanimously

AIR TOYS By Mary Graham Bonner

Peggy and John met the little black clock the next evening. Hard ly had they seen him than, with the aid of his marvellous magic, they were whisked up to a hotel which was staying up in the air for four weeks.
 The little black clock had turned the time ahead two hundred years.
 This evening the little black clock had said that Peggy would be most interested in the trip. But when they got to the toy room, which was famous all over the air for its size and variety of toys, John was really as much interested as Peg gy.
 They had dolls, of course. The dolls were dressed in the loveliest of colors. There was the rainbow doll and there was a doll like a star, and there were dolls dressed in the most perfect of sunset color ings.
 Peggy just couldn't stop exclaim- ing about them.
 There was the sky blue doll and the fluffy white cloud doll. They were the most lovely dolls she had ever seen.
 The dolls houses looked like houses you can sometimes almost see in the sky when you're down on the earth.
 There were crystal lights shining, too, in some of the dolls houses.
 John was looking at all the toy airplanes there. They were far ahead of the ones he had ever seen. There were some trains of cars, too and he was glad to see those. They had a fire signal system. The little black clock just let them spend all the time they want ed in the great toy room. They didn't bother with anything else.
 But when he came back for them he promised that he would let them visit the toy room again some day
 Just now their time for this trip was up.

Baltimore at Two Hundred.
(New York 'I1meS.)

Baltimore is celebrating her two hundredth anniversary and two continents deeply inter- ested and wish the old city well. In it lived the man who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" At Baltimore the Caverts founded the civilization of the Catholic Cavaliers. In her streets moved the breeding Poe, and today the editor of The Ameri- can Mercury.
 A city of varied contributions and immense personal charm is Maryland's metropolis. It was among the earliest of American communities to raise, in Mount Vernon Place, a fitting memorial to Washington. It is close enough to the nations capital to hear the echoes of parliamentary debate but far enough away to have an intense civic character of its own Largely because of the influ ence of Baltimores viewpoint. Maryland has not availed itself of the power permitted to it in the Eighteenth Amendment to pass concurrent legisa-
 on. Its aristocracy had progenitors in the Battle of North Point, and its southeastern section helped man the battery which fired the first shot in the World War.
 Now the battle-queen of yore' is the industrial queen of the South Atlantic seaboard In it's com memorative festivities the whole nation feels that it has a share.

If I were one of the 100000 members or
 School Boards of the one-room rural SCHOOLS
 in America and we had to choose between
 putting limited money into equipment
 or a teacher with personality would vote
 for personality.
 Prof Walter Burr educational expert of Kansas Agricultural College offers this advice to rural school authorities in article written for the Sep tember issue of The Farm Journal.
 Rural schools particularly, Prof. Burr thinks, spend too large proportion of their limited budgets on buildings and physical equipment, and are prone to hire at the lowest salaries possible any teachers who can present certificates showing that they are technically qualified for the jobs
 Technical qualifications essential, but they do not make teacher Prof. Burr holds girl may have graduated from normal school with sat isfactory marks but may lack entirely the maturity of judgment and qualities of leadership and interest in her work which will make her a successful teacher.
 Prof Burr quotes the report of the Nationai Educational Association that the childs attitude toward all the duties of his future life depends upon his like or dislike of his early studies, and that this in turn is conditioned almost entirely by ms like or dislike of the teacher.
 teacher who inspire the grade school child and interest him in solving his simple prob lems can build in him a will power for achieve ment which will last through life
 Such teachers not easily found in rural communities Prof Burr admits. But still, he shows the tiny Porter School, near Kirksville, Missouri has become the model rural school of the country largely through the snglehanded efforts of the lone teacher Mrs Marie Harvey, midde-aged woman with real love of children and the faculty Tor inspiring them to their best efforts both at work and play
 q could bring forward numerous examples to 1fta, uiI a1c Of qualities who can be secured as teachers, he adds Tt really seems to be up to the ingenuity and per sisence of the school boards to such people But above all qualities, buy personality The teacher who has it will find ways of getting equipment and handling subject matter.

Survey Discloses
German Borrowings
Show Steady Rise

WASHINGTON, June 24-tF-
The prospect Of ar international
flotation Of ~reparations bonds gives
special Importance to the latest
diagnosis Of Germany's financial
health, based on figures obtained
by the department Of commerce.
It Is shown that outstanding in
dustrial bonds In Germany have In
creased by $3.50, 1000 since Janu-
airy 1.
The average rate OF interest on
all bonds now outstanding Is less
than the average rate during the
previous year despite a general ten
dency of interest rates to rise.
This is explained by the fact that
many Of the older issues. floated
when interest rates were abncr-
mally high. were redeemed.
The average rate for domestic
issues in 1928 was 81 per cent. The
average interest rate for bonds
floated abroad dropped from 6.6
per cent in 1927 to 60 per cent In
1923.
The German coal. iron and steel,
chemical and power generating in
dustries have been the heaviest
borrowers In the domestic market.
The f1otation Of bonds abroad has
been undertaken chiefly by the coal.
iron and steel. potash, electrical,
banking and shipping industries.

vey OF public utilities points out
that the gross revenue Of all cleo
trio light and power companies In
the United States has increased
from SIS. 100000 in 1902 to $1.908,-

These include the fact that only
10 per cent OF the nations farms

only two-thirds of the country's in
habitants live in wired houses. less

MAY PRODUCE
2,5OO,OOO CANS
Machinery Tuned Up After
Producing 1,6OO,0 900
Cans Last Year

More than 1900 900 cans Of VAL
ley vegetables and grapefruit were
put up last year by the Schmidt
Canning Co, OF San Benito, and
the concern is equipped to pack
$500 600 cans during the coming
season. according to r. G. Schmidt,
manager.
This large amount Of can goods
packed in the Valley aids in taking
care Of the surplus production. Mr..
Schmidt believes. Quite q bit Of
this fruit and vegetables would
never be sold II It we're not for the
packing firms.
The Schmidt Canning Co. is a
Valley institution. II was estab-
lished IA years ago on Mr..
Schmidt's small farm near San Be-
nito. The business grew to such
proportions that he found 10 neces-
sary to move into the city. Addi-
ton after addition has followed and
the San Benito plant is now be-
lieved to be one Of the best OF its
type in Texas.
Up-to-date machinery providing
for sanitary handling not only gives
the plant a large daily capacity but
provides a clean product. Last sea-
son the cannery handled 10000
cases Of spinach. The plant is cap
able Of producing a carload of spin
ach q day-36lO 900 pounds or 10000
No. Q cans.
The San Benito goods are pack
ed under the IS. S" brand and are
shipped to all portions Of the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Schmidt states that
ne has little difficulty in disposinQ
OF his Valley products.
We are looking forward TO an
other good year" Mr.. Schmidt
stated recently. The plant has
been tuned up and we are now In
tip-top shape. With a fair ron
in sight and a veteran staff 70
work with, I see no reason WHY we
shouldn't produce around 2.5OOOOO
cans Of fruits and vegetables this
season"

UNCERTAINTY
OVER new BANK
international Institu { ! o n
Brings Varied Forecasts
From Wall Street

NEW YORK. June 24.-R-One
eminent American banking author
ity c e in the proposed bank for
international settlements a long
step toward fulfillment Of the old
dream OF an economic United
States of Europe.
Banking opinion. with some ex-
ceptions, favors the new tnstitu-
ton as outlined by the experts
committee. Comment usually leads
around to the inevitable question:
where will this super-bank and
possible capital Of world finance be
located?
TWO paragraphs In annex I. part
XII, Of the experts report are g
ceiving special attention. They
read:
"The purpose Of the bank is 70
provide additional facilities for the
international movement Of funds
and to afford a ready instrument
for promoting international flnan-
cial relations. In connection with
the German repartion annuities Il
shall perform es trustee for the
creditor countries the entire work
Of external administration Of this
plan. shall act as the agency for
the receipt and distribution Of
funds and shall supervise and as
sist in the commercialiZation and
mobilization Of certain portions OF
the snnuities.
1T shall be located In a financial
center hereafter to be designated
IN selecting the country Of incor-
poration due consideration shall be
given to obtaining powers suffi-
GENTLY broad to enable it to per-
form its functions with requisite
freedom and suitable immunities
from taxation"
This description has been inter-
preted here to mean that repara-
tons might become a comparatively
minor consideration in the future
career Of the bank.
The non-political and strictly in
ternational character OF the direc-
torate. together with the fact that
participation in the banks shares
will be open TO all countries whose
currency Is on a gold basis. points
toward its gradual evolution into a
Bank Of Europe" or world bank.
It is foreseen that the institution
will give Europe a central bank TO
protect its gold supply from being
drawn across the Atlantic and to
encourage the same degree Of fl
nancial unity in Europe as already
exists in the United States.
