Armistice Day
\ YOVEMBER II marks the 18th anniversary of the
M Armistice which ended the worlds greatest
tragedy. Yet the effects of the war are still felt
everywhere, and unrest is as widespread as IL was o
fore that great struggle
In spite of the efforts which have been made since
1918 the interest of peace the outlook for the future
is not reassuring The needs and aspirations OF ma
tons are unsatsfed and the desires Of nation
not be without encroachment upon its neighbors
Just now striking example of these unsatished
ambitions is seen in Manchura and Mongolia, where
the conflicting interests of China, Japan and Russia
menace the peace of the Far East
While less acute for the moment, the racial and
economic antagonisms among European nations still
exist and the political atmosphere is filled with dis
trust.
In view of these conditions, Armistice Day this
year should remind all people of the horrors of the last
war, and cause them to pause before taking any
gresive step which might lead to another.

Give and Give
N HR. Average Citizen feels badly harassed just at
MI present with drives for this and drives for that
Az crowdng dollar after dollar from his daily
budget yet the need of such drives reminds again
that plight, while not satisfactory wish,
is far better than many of our neighbors'.
Food and shelter for many good, honest and am
and mine to the Salvation Army and Red Cross drives
now being conducted nationwide scale The relief
committee here declares it has received but small
part of the clothing which will be necessary to keep
some of our own people warm this winter.
So when you get out your checkbook for the solicit
this week and next, remember that while the bank
balance may not be substantial as it two years
and last year, the need is greater. Our dollars
will do more good than ever before for the who
faces starvation.
Airport Provision 4.1
4 comparison of the nations air map today and
~ of three five years ago will convince even
the most skeptical that aviation has stepped
ahead and is still moving forward at rapid pace.
While many of us still prefer travelling old
frma, there are times when trains and automo-
biles too slow. Air mail and air passenger service
will develop just rapidly life continues to in
it's speed
With that development arlines will be in
augurated and cities along such routes will be given
of revenue. They will have opportunity
to pass their rivals in business and population figures
just as Railroad towns stepped ahead of inland neigh
bors generation OF TIVE ago.
With such situation apparent it behooves the
wideawake cities and towns to make early bids for
such lines After they have been routed are in the
process of routing it will be too late to grab land and
improvse an airport sufficiently large and modern to
interest promoters The routes will go where farsee-
ing business have made provision to accommodate
them.
Stabilizing Silver
q ENATOR Key Pittman of Nevada believes that the
\ abandonment of the gold standard of coinage by
- Great Britain may lead to a solution of the world
silver problem
Englands move will probably result in a silver
conference among the worlds great nations with pur
pose of stablizng the price of the metal at normal
level
Many economic authorities are of the opinion that
the present world depression largely brought
about by the decline in buying power of such countries
as China, India, Mexico etc.. which have the silver
standard When the value of silver went down. their
purchasing power dropped accordingly Sterilization
of silver would bring this buying power back-and,
from national standpoint, would mean industrial
revival in mining states.
Screening against insect pests in the United States
costs thirty million dollars year. If it excluded the
two-legged ones it would be worth it.
Building a large fleet of warships only to have
them junked as antiques few years later is doubt
boon to the steel industries but the nation may bet
ter put its tax money in public buildings which OF
use to more people for longer time.
