AMERICA WINNING FIGHT
 FOR ECONOMIC REVIVAL

The new Secretary of Commerce, Roy D. Chapin, has a particular in- terest to the people of Alaska be- cause of his supervision of the fish cries of the Territory and of the States, and of which he says: "Our Bureau of Fisheries fosters and pro tects natural resource which sup ports an industry that is the means of livelihood for half a million of our people"
 Over the radio the other evening Secretary Chapin gave very cheeri full epitome of improved trade senti- ment and predicted that, With a distinct change in spirit in recent weeks, America is. on it's way to win the fight for economic revival" He new and aggressive mood is grip ping the country; a mood more typical of American buoyancy and fighting spirit. The barrage of economic forces against us appears to be weakening"
 Secretary Chapin sees a basis for recovery in the driving spirit of the people," plus measures being in voked by the Reconstruction Fiji nance Corporation. The Federal Re serve Board in credit expansion, and the Home Loan Bank Board Predicting that the next six months will be momentous in the history of the United States, MT. Chapin, pointed out that the conference of business leaders to be held in Wash ington, "means much to industry, agriculture and labor"

HUMAN BUSINESS REALITY

Jordan (Minn.) Independent-The shop owner or merchant who finds fault with the way the other fellow is doing business, quite frequently is the man who himself is constant ly doing things opposite to rules that are best for the community. Most every line of business today is confronted with some problem or another pertaining to competition. It is really good that the business world revolves on principles of this sort. Without them we would all become stale; there would be no pep or enthusiasm and we would be a lazy and indolent lot.
 A community where merchants refuse to trade with one another is a weak spot. Yet there are places like this. The money left at home would be utilized by the home folks over and over again. Once it is transferred from the locality to a larger center, it is lost to the pool; perhaps never to return. A sad thought and it reads almost like an obituary. It is slow death to a com munity. Merchants in larger centers will have little need for spending money in the small town and they don't propose to do so. They are, however, batting small town citi- zenry constantly and thereby sap ping the strength from smaller communities Why be weak and fall for 1t?
 What can be done about it? Unit ed action on the part of merchants will help. Patronize the other busi- ness man when he sells something out of your line. If you sell grocer ies don't look for a cheap whole saler to sell you a suit of clothes at cost, etc. Pay your neighbor his reasonable profit. He could perhaps buy groceries at wholesale if he tried. The same is true in the print ing field. The small town merchant who spends money to have printing done away from home is not fair to that community He is spending this money with an outside firm that brings little or nothing to the town in question. Surely it is doing noth- ing to build the town up.

 This is fine talk. but 1t is fanci- ful. Any banker or economist knows that imitation is not like a water tap, to be turned on or off at will. Imitation is something that can not be controlled, as our experience dur ing the war demonstrated con- clusively. And when any group, such as a legislative body, tries to guide the process of imitation. 1t is playing with a dangerous fire. Credit and currency imitation have always got out of hand and have wrecked considerable damage. Let uS have a moratorium on certain classes of farm debts, if necessary, but steer clear of inexpert bungling with complicated finances and eco nomics.-Ex.

DIGGER FINDS $40,000
 IN TABLED TREASURE

TAOS, N. M.-J. L. Abeyta of Taos. while excavating a small basement, has just unearthed a buried treasure which amounted to $40, 1000 in Mexican silver and gold.
 After Abeyta had dug about six feet he came to an old fireplace, presumably built in an old dugout. The presence of two routed barrel slaves led him to dig deeper and a few moments later he uncovered an old keg which contained 800 silver dollars bearing the date 1S49. On the other side of the fireplace he unearthed a huge black olla which contained 300 gold coronas, triangular in shape and resembling the decorations on the front of a queens crown. The olla also con- tained 200 rectangular shaped gold nuggets, the value of which has not been determined.
 Old timers relate an old custom. l'CCp NuS Oh OoSh oiNS of fireplace and if an enemy ap- peared the treasure could be cached and dirt piled upon 1t to conceal it. The location of the fireplace and the buried treasure substantiate this belief.
 During the bloody revolutionary days soldiers quarters were built upon this land. On the very spot where the treasure was found were the stables. Judging from the date on the silver and the <Wtoric re volution at Taos, the money was buried some time between 1S49 and 1879. In all probability it was the pay roll for Mexican soldiers. MT. Abeyta is the night watchman in the little village of Taos. He has wife and 12 children. The fate that led him to this spot insures his future. The discovery strengthens the belief that the fabulous trea- sures buried by the Conquistadors are a reality.
