Toxic Social Service
Fund Drive a la u. S.

A group Of GAG social service and re-
ligious institutions in Toxic are joining
this Fall in the first Community Chest
drive ever conducted on large scale in
this country. The sum to be raised is
$500, 900, and those preparing for the
drive are patterning their campaign
after those conducted so frequently in
the United States by publicity and can
wasting. Despite the present economic
depression, 1t Is fully expected that the
drive will more than "go over the top"
because Of its novelty. Approximately
$4,000 is received annually from
foreign countries by the organizations
represented In. the drive. Representa-
tives Of these gathered and decided that
a policy OF cooperation would be the
best way Of raising the money to sup
plement the subsidies from abroad.
The combined budget Of the organiza-
tons participating is more than $2,000,-
600 for this year. The managers of the
Community Chest expect to get about 10
per cent Of their receipts from large do
nations by wealthy men and business
concerns.

the common lot not the constrained IN

+, It has seemed to many Of US q trag-
edy, the burden of which falls more on
us than on him, that when the revival
of poetry took place around 1910 the
new poets did not value Woodberry's
ouSly hostile to 1t. He had prophesied
the revival and had done much to bring
it on, but more than one enthusiast OF
free verse went to some pains to indi-
cate that woodbury. was out Of date
and should on no account be lis
tened to.
OF course, this verdict upon him had
regard to the external things of his art.
He did indeed write in rhythm which
is disappearing from our life. He spoke
with the accent Of the old Boston cul-
lish rather than for the American LAM
guage. It Is true also that he was in
the best sense Of the word q singer;
poetry was for him not conversation,
but music. Any one whose preoccupa-
ton was with the superficial aspects of
poetry would of course have to part
company with him.
think, however, that it was tragic
for contemporary poets to be 50 super
ficial as not to recognize the content
OF Woodberry'S poetry. He was more
generous than they toward writer's OF q
different tradition from him and to-
ward the future in which he might have
no part. In one Of our last talks he
asked me what sort Of literary back
ground the modern college boy has. ]

came to college with q great deal OF
reading, but not the reading which
was brought up in--wtth no great knoWl-
edge, for example, of English literature
nor of Greek, nor of the Bible: some Of
them knew Russian literature, some
knew modern literature from all quar-.
tiers Of the globe. made this report,

Japan's Improved Trade
Conditions Due to u. S.


The United States Is largely respon-
sible for q remarkable improvement In
Japan's foreign trade. Taking the first
nine months OF 1929 as basis for esti-
mating the results Of year, the un-
favorable balance Of trade-amoJint Of
imports over exports-is lower this year
than ct any time since 1920. peak Of
the postwar boom. At that time Japan
enjoyed Q favorable balance which was
unprecedented. The huge shipments of
raw silk which 60 to the United States
form the largest single item Of Japa-
nese exports. The fact that the demand
kept up during the usually slack SUM-
mer months is given as the principal
reason for the improved trade con-
dition. The anticipated lifting of the
gold ban Is also another thing which
has made traders pile up their orders.
Japan's unfavorable balance Of trade
has been about $500, 100000 for the last
few years. It Is expected to be half this

II. De Vault, head of the department
of agricultural economics, at the Uni

As university economists in the coun-
try asked for their opinion of the chain
store system of merchandising.
OF the IS professors invited to express
their views, the 43 who responded were
practically unanimous in their answer
to the three questions submitted. The
questions were: % Is the chain store
system a detriment or a benefit to the
public? (2) Is it probable the chain
store will become dangerous mon
olopy? 90 Is the quality of goods sold
by the average chain store what 1t is
represented to be?
Prof. De Vaults reply to the ques-
tionaire follows:
81 think the chain store is a benefit
to the American public. 1t has helped
TO standardize goods. has meant lower
prices to the consumer, has tended to
improve the business methods Of mer-
chants, has encouraged cash payments
"I do not believe chain stores will
become a dangerous monolQDy. At least,
for long time to come there will be
sufhcient competition among chains.
II believe chain stores, within recent
years. have tended to improve the quail
ity Of the goods sold; or, in other words,
are carrying better quality goods
SO far as the farmers of America
are concerned, they will have to organ

What Is needed is big business at both
ends; that Is, organization OF producers
TO do business with the organized SELL

TO CLOSE FEBRUARY 20

DANVILLE, Va, February 8.-At a
meeting of the sales committee of the
Danville Tobacco Association, it was
decided to bring the local tobacco mar
ket season to a close on February %.
Already nearly 100000 pounds more
of weed have been sold to date than
last year, and while the sales are drop
ping of considerably, much tobacco of
inferior type is being marketed, this
causing a slump in price averages. Lit
tie more tobacco of good quality is
expected

of weed has been sold for $8,765, 511.43
an average of $685. per 100 pounds.

pounds were sold for $8,462, 17573, the
average being $18.65.
The closing of the market on this
day is in line with the associations
policy of not dragging the season on
when the crop has been practically
marketed and when ample time has
been allowed for even tardy sellers to
put their leaf on the market.
