$159,5OO,O 100000

Roughly speaking this debt will
take $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO to pay the interest
alone. Our national income including
everything is about $4,000, 900 ,0CO
normally, but has been reduced to
So, OO,0O0,OOO on account of reduced
commodity prices, so about one dol
lar in every three taken in by bust
ness goes to pay on a dead horse in
terest. This together with taxes of
course make business impossible.
OF course the powers that be who
own all these paper-bonds, mortgages
and other security want to keep prices
OF commodities down. That way they
will have more buying power, and if
they can hold their own they can keep
the majority in hopeless debt forever.
By maintaining the gold standard
they think that this can be obtained,
but to anyone actually familiar with
affairs, it is hardly necessary to say
that if they shut down business, the
debt will never be paid as il has to
be paid out of the receipts of bust
ness, and therefore it would be better
to put business back on it's legs by a
slight initiation, than to starve the
country out through stagnation and
liquidation, which takes a long time
and helps no one.
From all l can gather no one in
authority has any plan that will work,
it is easy to see that the farmers will
not pay off their part of the debt
getting Tic for butter, SC for eggs,
about SO for hogs and like prices for
other commodities. The railways will
not be able to pay their share, nor
will corporations be able be able to
meet their obligations These facts
are apparent, l suppose, to even the
most stupid of government officials,
yet some how they think that if they
do nothing that will work things will
somehow work themselves out,-fool-
ish of course. We hear a lot of rot
about confidence, courage, etc., but
this foolish talk will not pay bills,
taxes and interest. The only hope
for those who want to save their
property is to present facts in such
way that people will gradually see
that our present economic status is
impossible, that some drastic change
is necessary to put productive bust
ness back on its feet and that merely
trusting in blind providence for re-
lief will lead no where but will only
make things worse and prolong the
necessary adjustment.
A general liquidation this spring
was warded off by the Re-finance Cor
pOratiOn. 1t put new credit into bus
mess and while this money is being
used things will go along as ever, but
what is going to happen when these
loans become due? That will be after
election of course, but nevertheless
the interest and loans will be due.
Most of these loans will of course de-
fault and the rest will be paid by
money needed elsewhere, and conse-
quently, generally, business, farmers
and all, will be worse off than ever.
The ones who pay will eventually
have to- pay for the ones who default.
With no increase in commodity prices
all this will be done in vain.
Generally speaking it is beyond me

MUST PAY OR LIQUIDATE DEBT

Editor Askov American:
According to the platform of both
parties they intend to protect the gold
standard at any price. This means
that there can be no improvement
materially in conditions as far as the
farmer and small business man is
concerned. The reason for this is the
large outstanding obligations which

By WALTER JOHNSON (Managcr Washington Senators)

BILOXI, Miss, April 11.-One thing I am working hardest on new is pitching Outside of first base everybody is set and on his job. I am looking for pitchers.
 We have plenty of speed and a fine spirit. Tn my 25 years of baseball experience I have never seen a more spirited club. It leaves very little for manager to do outside of trying to develop a pitcher or two. This team will go long ways on this spirit.
 We do net have anybody who can pitch like Grove and hit like Simmons, but I would rather have cur outfield than Simmons, Miller and Haas. Why? Because, out side of Simmons hitting, Wesr Reynolds and Manush are better sall players.
 The Senators will start with the best infield in the League, but Ii anything should happen to Cronin or Bluege, We might be slowed down. If everything goes all righ' we could not hope for a pette' llcuD.

FLORY GOES TO |MATANUSKA FOR ! FINAL CLOSURE
Sails Tomorrow with Aids to Prepare for Aban-
 doning Farm Station

To make arrangements for the probable abandonment of the Unit ed States Agricultural Experiment Station at Matanuska, Charles H. Flory, Alaska Commissioner for the Federal Department of Agriculture, will leave tomorrow on the steam CT Yukon for Seward, proceeding from there to MatanuSka.
 He will be accompanied by Asst. Regional Forester M. L. Merritt as far as Seward, and w. H. AL berts, director of Experiment Sta- tions in Alaska, and the latter's administrative assistant Filler Han- sen The last two will go to Matanuska.
 MT. Flory will go to Fairbanks for consultation with Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, President of the AL aska Agricultural College and School of Mines after completing his work at Matanuska. What the future of that station will be is still uncertain.
 Several proposals looking to- ward continuance of the work there on a probably smaller scale have been advanced to the de- paatment, but none of them has been accepted, MT. Flory said. 1t is desired to keep it on some kind of an operating basis if possible, he added, but definite plans to that end have not been adopted.
 The failure of the Secretary of Agriculture to include estimates for continued operations of all ex- pertinent stations in the annual budget of that department is re- sponsible for their abandonment Sitka as we'll as Matanuska will be closed down at the end of the current fiscal year.

Suspended Honeymoon Given Creditable Per-
 formance, Douglas

"A Suspended Honeymoon" Jun for Class play, was staged with great success before a full house Saturday evening at the Coliseum theatre. A large number of chil- dren and adults attended the mat inee given at Il o'clock Saturday forenoon. The entire performance was exoellently acted and the m- di1idual parts were taken with a great deal of skill.
 The entire cast portrayed the characters they took with such ability that it is difficult to pick out amy one part to give special credit. Helen Stragier in the part of the sour spinister, "Auntie,' was perfsst and left nothing to be de- sired in the way she enacted the role.

 Comments were especially favor able to the way he played the thief. Geneva F'eero, as Susie, the maid, was the comedy star of the per formance and her every appear ance and speech provoked a laugh. Perkins, the butler, played by Or rin Edwards, was also a comedy role that was well executed.
 Casey, the Irish cop, was played Hy Albert Stragier, who drew many laughs for his clever act ing and his Irish accent Lloyd Guerln1s as the Police Sergeant, was lf5tle in size but very con- vincing. John Mills had a minor part as Kearney, policeman, but also did well within the limIta- tions of the character.
 Finished Performance
 Phyllis Edwards took the part of Cseile Kennedy, a bride of a few days, and William Cashen was Richard Kennedy, the bridegroom. Thsy beth played these characters with finished excellence, their voices and actions both very ex- presS.ve.
 Roaiie Hamilton and Stuart Randolph, sweethearts, were ably enacted by Enne Kromquist and James Doogan. One of the most cleverqy portrayed characters was that of Gloria Golden, the chorus girl, taken by Marie Fox. Phyl- lis Lundell, as Mrs. Archibald, the angular, red-headed owner of the apartment, where the action oc- CUTS, gave a fine performance. Astrid Loken, as Mrs. Randolph had a minor part in dhe play, but nevertheless, took the role of the middle-aged woman very well.
 Complicated Action
 The play, "A Suspended Hon. eymoon," is difficult one to exc cute, it is long, the action is com plicated, the cast is large and there are so many entrances and exits throughout the play. The Juniors and others who took part in the play deserve great credit for their able performance. The play was presented after only five weeks of practice, difficult feat lin itself, showing how hard the characters worked to prefect their parts.
 The plot of the play concerns the efforts of certain characters to retrive some love letters in the possession of chorus girl and ot lother characters to secure val luable ruby necklace These efforts Head to many amusing complca- ltions which finally straighten out at the end.
 One Stage Setting
 The testing of the play in ths drawing room of the Kennedy ap' artments in New York City and tn' faction is continuous. The man ual training department renovated the old stage scenery at the show The walls were painted a buff land the wood work a dark brown LA large staircase was constructs at the center back of the stage.

able to outruff dummy, unless
Y trumped with the Q. This
z did not like to do. The
best thing appeared to be a
trial lead of Spades. to dis
cover what opponents held in
trumps. A low Spade from
dummy was won by rs K.
B dropped the 8, and A the 4,
but either of them might hold
the jos, or no more. If either
held all missing Spades, prob
ably it would be B, as A had
so long a Club suit. IF B held
all the missing trumpS he
probably would be cunning
enough to false-card, but a
lead of a low trump from rs
hand would unmask B, as A
would show out of trumps. A
low Spade was led; A played
his 4, and the trick was won
with the @, dropping the miss
ing j.
Dummy's last Club was led,
won with the K, and rs re-
naming Club was trumped with
Y'S last Spade. To fulfill his
dangerous Contract, z had to
win at least three Diamond
tricks. He led a low Diamond
from Dummy, and won the
trick on a finesse of his j. Of
course he next pulled A's last
Trump. Now z was certain Of
fulfilling his Contract. The
only losing card remaining in his
hand was the @ of Hearts.
Visions of a small Slam were
held. On the lead Of rs last
Club, B had shown possession
Of the K of Hearts, by his dis
card Of the J Of Hearts. z
happened to also hold the @
Of Diamonds, q Grand Slam
could be made. either because
the Diamonds were divided 3-3,
or by squeezing B. z still held
two of each-Spades, Hearts
and Diamonds. z led the low
est Heart that he held, and
won the trick with Dummy's
Ace. He gained entry to his
hand by leading a Diamond,
and winning with his Ace, Civ
ing him his ninth straight trick.
Upon his next lead of a
Spade, one of dummy'S Hearts
was discarded, and B let go his
lower Heart.
When z led his last Spade, he
discarded dummy's last Heart,
leaving in dummy the K-9 Of
Diamonds. B saw that he sure
1y must lose in case he let go a
Diamond. He did not feel GER
tain who held the missing @
of Hearts, and he had to gam
BILE that his partner might hold
it. B let go his last heart. z
won, the twelfth trick with his
good Heart, and the last trick
with Y'S K. Of Diamonds.

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG. MD.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
Something must be the mat
ter with me. I have a headache
today and I almost never have
a headache"
And then the other nine peo-
pie in the room turn and look at
this strange specimen who is
not subject to headaches. Then
each one begins to tell the next
one about his or her own spe-
cial headache-that pet head
ache.
That is about the proportion
in which headaches are dis
tributed among us. Nine peo-
pie have what is called my"
headache, and one person
doesn't have headaches and
then all Of a sudden he has one.
So in the course Of time head
aches are practically universal
experiences of mankind.
Are Not Serious
Another thing that the scene
teaches is that headaches do
not indicate anything Sufft-
GENTLY serious to kill. One can
carry a headache from the
cradle to the grave, and while
it may cause a good deal Of diSa-
bility and invalidiSm, it doesn't
shorten life.
The question everyone wants
to know it what causes head
aches. And equally important
is what will cure them.
It is not surprising, consider
ing it's anatomy, that the head
should ache pretty often. For
one thing, the head is for the
body something like the bulb
of a thermometer. It is the
part Of the body, more than
any other, which makes you
feel that you are hot or cold.
It is more pHenGifully supplied
with sweat glands than any
other part Of the body. Perspi-
ration is thrown out on the
face to cool it off because If
it is cool the rest Of the body
will feel cool. In many other
ways, the head is the sensitive
bulb of the body.
Peculiar Skull
Then, the skull has a pc
culiar construction in that it
is a rigid, bony box. Inside
this box is a noncompresSible
organ, the brain. Between the
brain and the skull is a layer
of fluid which varies in amount
and pressure. And attached to
the inside of the skull, keeping
the fluid in place, is a mem
brane-the dura mater Of the
meningeS-which is exquiSitely
sensitive.
