 She flashed up her face, thrust ing her lips closer.

 He didn't soft-pedal. He told her that she was a flirt, one min ute an aureoled angel the next.

GOLD BASIS HELD
WAY TO RECOVERY
u. S. and British Economists
Agree Suspension Has

By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
wILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August IS.
Permanent economic recovery must be
sought in a universal return to the in
ternational gold standard, said Prof.
John Henry williams of Harvard and
DR.. T. z. Gregory Of the London School
of Economics at the Institute of Politics

Stresses Other Problems.
though agreeing with williams that
q universal return to the gold standard
is vital to recovery. Gregory stressed
the need for recognizing and over
coming difficulties in the way of return.
The most important problem, he indi-
Gated, was the possible increase IN the
volume of gold boarding by central
banks as result OF their experiences
in recent years"
His solution was (a) a greater readi-
ness of central banks to check booms.
(b) A willingness to use reserves free
" at the moment Withdrawals threat
ened (c) Removal of all minimum ra-
tios for reserve purposes.
The second difficulty of general re-
turn to gold lay in choice of appropri-
ate PARTIES. Gregory said. The third
is the difficulties Of cooperation by
central banks, due to conflict of Amer
ican, British and French views on con-
duct of gold standard. The fourth, the
''most urgent" is the management Of
the international short-loan fund, the
size Of which at the present time Is so
great as very easily to wreck the gold
standard at a moment Of panic"
Debtors Oppose Move.
The last difficulty mentioned by
Gregory was reconciliation of debtors
to the gold standard. since debtors feel
the standard makes the burden Of long
term Indebtedness intolerable.
The real problem of the depression
will occur, Gregory told round table
group previous to the general confer
ence, when recovery begins to take
place. When money now boarded is
placed in circulation. imitation on a
very large scale might result" he said.

The Second Robber
Appears

Shanghai, June g. A represen-
tative of the French Asiatic bark
is at present in Toxic and accord
ing to reports from a reliable
source he intends 20 undertake
journey to Manchuria. The aim of
this trip is reported to be to dis
cuss the question of the rights and
interests of France in the Chinese
Eastern Railway. In the event of
the negotiations being favorable
the gentleman will offer the Man
churian government a loan for
the improvement of the perma-
nent way, and extend a promise of
further loans for state purposes.
Commenting on the above re-
port the China Press declares that
it confirms the repeated rumors
that France intends to bring up its
supposed rights in the railway IN
the basis of the old Cza-ist shares
in possession of French capitalists.
This report is particularly inter
esting in connection with the per-
sistent rumors that Francs-Jap-
anese alliance against the Soviet
Union is in existence, but alliance
or no formal alliance, it is no Sc
cret that the Japanese hold the
carte blanche of the French imper-
ialists for all their actions in the
Far East. A share Of the spoilI
including the Chinese Eastern rail
way is the least France can claim
for its friendliness.

Difference in Number Cows Kept
As we look at this table, sew
eral facts strike US very forcibly,
we see the great difference in the
numbers of cows on the various
sized farms, this difference
amounting to nearly 500 per cent
between the smallest and the larg-
est farms. We see that in spite OF
the greater total investment in
barns on the larger farms, the in
vestment in barns per COW di-
minishes as the farms grow larger

a concrete way by the number OF
cows taken care of by each man

on Farmers to Pay All
Taxes Possible

The Minnesota capitalist press,
Farmer-Labor and other, reports
that June 81 ought to be a "red

they publish advice to the taxpay-
ers as to what should b ether at

In order to make June 81 eff

Some of Reeds advice goes as fol-
