Canned Salmon.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The people of the United States have discovered canned salmon In the last six months they have diminished last years carry lover stock by 1l96239 cases of forty-eight one-pound cans-the greatest recorded.
 Pacific Coast salmon is good food, low in cost, high in health giving taste appealing qualities If its virtues were fully known by Americas millions, canners would have no carry-over and the fishing industry would be worked to capacity.
 Last year an unprecedented surplus Of canned salmon piled up. The only way to reduce this sur- plus was to sell it. and the only way to sell it was to advertise it.
 Gamers advertised never before. They have sold their product as before.
 The lesson is particularly valuable in these days of slackened merchandising. If you want to sell anything advertise it. It is not enough to have something the people need You must have them want it enough to buy.

PITTSBURGH, Penn, July 22.-- Baseball men all over the country shook their heads when Elmer Dai- ly announced last winter that he planned to make the middle At lantic League a 12-club circuit.
 Today these same baseball men are calling the Middle Atlantic "A Miracle League"
 The League won't last to the Fourth of July" Daily's friends. told him when the season opened in May. July 10th, the second half of the schedule began-and there were 12 clubs still in the race.
 Good sportsmanship in the league towns and night baseball have put the league over, Daily says.
 The league the only 12-club cir. cult in existence is composed of Cumberland, Md; Charleston, w. Va; Beckley, w, Va; Parkersburg, w. Va; Scottdale, Pa; Fairmount, w. Va; Johnstown, Pa; Clarksburg, w. Va; Hunting ton, w. Va; Wheeling, w. Va; Charleroi, Pa; and Altoona, Pa.
 Jeanette, Pa, a town of 15,000, surrendered it's franchise soon after the season began and the team was shifted to Altoona. Financial diffl- culties were encountered in Altoona and the club has been offered for transfer.
 Several cities, including Steuben- vile, O., are understood to be dick ering for the berth. Hagertown, Md, another team at the post when the season started, surren- dered it's franchise to Parkersburg

would arouse criticism and opposi- tion. During the more than fifty years of it's continued prosperity the book has become one of very wide circulation, which is constantly in- creasing. It is in no sense substi- tute for the Bible, and Christian Sci ertists do not so regard it or use it. l. is designed to throw the, light of spiritual interpretation on the Bible. It. is also, as it's name implies, a textbook on Christian Science. en- abling the careful reader and stu dent of it's pages to apply success fully the healing power of divine law in solving human ills. It has the unique distinction of being the only book aside from the Bible, ever written, the reading of which has healed many persons of various types of disease and sickness.
 Treatment or Prayer
 In Christian Science, one does not pray a a supplicant,. imploring aims, but rather as an heir-at-law, endeavoring to possess that which is his by right of inheritance. An heir-at-law does not beg for his por- tion-he fulfills the conditions de- manded by establishing his identity and his relationship to the testator. He resists and repels whatever Is antagonistic to his claim. He de- nounces and exposes the false claim ant, and thus achieves his rightful ownership. In Christian Science one often hears the expression doing ones work" meaning this process of establishing a clear realization of ones identity and relationship as a child of God.
 In accord with the word of the Bible, one affirms and declares that he is Gods child; that he is Gods image and likeness. He declares and claims that his heritage as Gods child is good. and is only good. If aught presents itself to his con- sciousness that is not good, be it sin or sickness, he denies it's existence. because God made all that is good and He made only good, and there is no other creator.
 Let us consider, then, the process of reasoning. or treatment, in the case of disease. We shall take Jesus work as a model. when he was called to see and heal Peters | mot other.in-law, who was i'll with a great fever. It Is not recorded that he felt her pulse, or her fevered bi ow, to detect the intensity of her sickness. The record says that he stood over her and rebuked the fever. and 1t left her. Of course thIs does not mean that he talked to the fever as to a person. but he challenged the claim Of fever. He denied It's reality; he rebuked the belief of fever entertained by the woman and those around her. Then piense observe what happened--im.

NEW HAVEN BOARD
 OF ASSESSORS Looking for Diamonds and Other Taxable Property Besides Real Estate
 nuF$TSUrTM T TACU/
A DIFFICULT TASK

The New Haven board of asses sors are making an eIort to add to the grand list by finding taxable property in the form of jewelry, boats and other valuables which most people who have such things rarely mention when they are call- ed upon to make out lists. Ere quently citizens wear diamonds that cost considerably more than a building lot, but the number of such articles on the list is small, while the person making plans to build a home has no escape from strict compliance with the law.
 Just what plan can be devised to get this information will tax the skill of the assessors, but each property owner is to be quizzed and sworn that what he is listing con- tains all the taxable property in his possession. Of course, this is done everywhere, but even so few take 1t seriously, and as a result it would require the services of a detective to get the facts. Nobody questions the right of people to wear diamonds but the law says they are taxable. The same is true of other things, but assessors in every town and city rarely hear anything about them.

From public utterances I
should Judge that two groups
OF people see a little more
clearly. Radicals, eager for
IN overturn of the capitalist
system, know that something
has happened and haste to in
sist that it has happened and
will continue to happen in ac-
cordance with their desire.
Apart from them, a dozen or

portant than stock quotations.
! am not at all sure of my
own Identification of what
has hit us. I arrive at it in

way I can answer my ques-
ton is by starting with the

circle which lands me at its
back. And the circle begins in
our good times-in 1928.

Can We Say So Now?
I do not say that either
the question or the answer is
just and accurate. I say they
were possible. And I am afraid
that while the question still is
admissible, the answer Is not.
That is what has struck us.
We can no longer say that we
have CT lated the best possible
industrial and comr >rcial syS-
tenn, We can't, in fact, con-
tinue to believe that the bus1-
ness Of making and spending
money is such a perfect goal as
we had hoped. We have to say
not c.1ly that our system failed
to insure itself against disaster

change, but that there may
have been something funda.
mentally lacking in it.

When I hear that this is not

Z for a variety of reasons, ! do

upon US. But an internal revo-
luton, happening within each
of us privately, Is quite think
able. If we say to ourselves
that the yacht ideal wasn't good
enough, we have to decide what
Is good enough.
And it is because we suddenly
have been deprived of the tl,ing
we were most certain o1,-our
ideal of luxury and immediate
wealth-that we are founder
ing. It is because we have to
decide something pretty i'm
portant to ourselves that we
need resolution and clear heads

Suppose that in 1928 a mod

foreigner had said to Ameri-
cans, Look here! Things are
going beautifully for you, but
do you ever think Of the posi-
hility that nothing you have
created in fiction, painting,
music, poetry and drama will
live for twenty years? And
that your system of architec-
tllre may go down so that your
contribution to world culture is
virtually nil. And If you do
