1t is not often that a preacher has
the opportunity to sit In pew and to
participate from the viewpoint OF the
pew in an act of corporate worship. It
might be we'll if he we're permitted to
do this more frequently. The preacher
sees the congregation from the vantage
point of the pulpit, but there is moth
ing of intimacy in the contact.
Recently In q great metropolitan
church, that was crowded with worship
ers, took modest seat in the rear of
the building. and while attentive upon
worship and the sermon was able to
observe from an entirely different angle
the congregation. 1t was the kind of
an experience that enables one to enter
underStandingly and sympathetically
into the point of view of the average
worshiper One could observe the
reverent and the irreverent, The deyout
and the curious. The attentive and the
inattentive. One could, without strain
ing the imagination, understand the
action and reaction of those who COM
posed the great congregation as they
followed both service and sermon. The
whole situation was provocative of q
reyerie.
The first query was, What does this
act of corporate worship really mean
TO this mu1titude7 Why, in the middle
of q busy weekday, do they come In
such numbers and sit quietly for O
half hour In q great church? As they
follow the hymns that they sing 50
Justify, and the prayers that compel
them to a reverent attitude, do they
really understand both the significance
and the meaning of this corporate act
of worship? Presently they will be re-
turning to their Offices and homes. What
relation has all this to the things of
the work-a-day world, the domestic
concerns of the home and all those
multitudinous details in which each in
dividusl is involved2 We could not
think these queries improper. Our
thought ran something like this: These
people have sought this brief period for
quiet and worship to ease the strain
which hectic and overintense life
lays upon them. There Is q physical
benefit they are gaining In this brief
half hour. Again, they are being di-

Prussia at the Polls.

Todays state elections In half dozen
different parts of Germany outstrip in
importance. certainly as far as prepon-
derant Prussia is concerned the late
presidential campaign which ended in
the reelection OF President Won Hin
denburg. The menace of Hitlerism
hangs over Prussia to an even greater
degree than it recently shadowed the
Reich. Against the towering and pop
ular figure Of the venerated field mar
slral the 'Nszi" forces were doomed
in advance to hurl themselves In vain.
1t is a different story in Prussia. around
which the elements opposed to HitIerism
have no such legendary figure as Hin
denburg to rally.
In the run-off presidential polling on
April 10 Hitler rolled up total Of
13,417.0oo votes. That Is far and away
more than any other single party
smassed. It strongly suggests that the
National Socialists will emerge from

pay for it with dollars and the Amer
lean desiring 70 buy dyes In Germany
must pay In marks. Therefore, in the
course Of foreign trade the people
doing business must equip themselves
with the currency Of the country in
which they are buying. 1t Is the
money-language Of the land
Assume an American who has bought
large consignment of paper or wood
calls for 10000 Canadian dollars. He
must, through bankers who are the
money-language interpreters, buy Cana
dian dollars. Recently he has been
able 70 buy 10000 Canadian dollars by
putting up only $500 American dol
lars. With these Canadian dollars he
pays the bin. Reverse the situation
and assume a Canadian manufacturer
who has purchased lot Of anthracite
from the Pennsylvania mines. He
owes 10000 dollars and the bill must
be paid in American dollars. He has
to put up II 500 Canadian dollars to
buy 10000 American dollars in order
TO discharge his obligation.
When trade balances approximately
match, when Canadians are buying as
much from Americans as Americans are
from Canadians there viii be no diff
ference. Even on big bills. the exchange
will be at par, dollar for dollar. But
when one country buys more from the
other, then the one which owes more,
has been doing more buying, must pay
more for the money Of the other coun-
try in order to discharge the obligation.

This has been estimated as high as
$500, 900 900 in a single year. Americans
going TO Canada have had to buy Cana
dian dollars to spend while there. That
has created demand which has been
enough to Offset the demand for Ameri-
can dollars desired by Canadians with
which to pay bills for American goods.
But in the last year or two the number

Canada fell of misersbly. The money

Still another factor has to do with
international loans. Canada is land
of vast natural resources and golden in
vestment opportunities under normal
conditions. Americans have invested
hundreds Of millions of dollars in Ca
madam mills, mines and development
enterprises. Every year, for q conSid-
cradle period, there was an increasing
demand to buy Canadian dollars to in
vest in Canadian enterprises. This has
stopped. No further flow is keeping up
the exchange. On the contrary, Canada
must send dividends and interest back
here. Another factor which had placed
Canada in weak position is that Ca
nsdians had joined IN the American
stock market carnival which ended in
1929 with the collapse Of the stock
boom. They had been buying dollars
to invest on the New York stock Ex-
change, and they lost o good many Of
them, often throwing good Canadian
dollars after the bad American ones
they had sunk in the speculative morass.

Why Canadian Money Buys Less
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

Thousands Of Americans have been
asking for the past several months why
it is that the Canadian dollar will be
exchanged In the United States for only
30 cents or some similar sum in
American currency. Americans living
in border cities and along the Great
Lakes have been especially affected by
this circumstance. Others living In the
interior, who have been accustomed to
receiving remittances from Canada as
pensions, as dividend checks. and for
other purposes, and cashing them at or
nearly at par, have been disappointed
to find Canadian money deprecated.
The situation has been especially be-
wilderina IN view of the fact that the
Dominion Of Canada remains firmly on
the gold standard. When England. last
September, suspended the gold stand
ard through inability Of the Bank Of
England to continue redemption of the
pound sterling at par in gold there was
some expectation that Canada, due to
the close cousinship. would follow. That
expectation was mistaken, for Cana
dians. although British subjects, are
Dominion citizens and conduct their
affairs separately, especially their
money affairs. The pounds, shillings,
and pence employed In Great Britain
and many British territories are not q
part of the Canadian money system,
Canada uses the dollar which, in ordi-
nary times, is worth 81 in American
money. and Canadian dimes and quar-.
tsrs look much like those Of the United
States and. normally, pass current at
par, being worth that. There was, in
deed, a psychological depression which
operated against Canadian exchange
when England suspended specie pay
ment last September but 1t was only
psychological, for Canada maintains her
own gold reserve.
The real reasons for Canadian ex-
changes being at q discount are far
ther to seek and more complicated.
They are composite of factors which
are the product of series of events
with which everybody has been more
or less familiar. but have not, hereto
fore. always been intimately related TO
each other 1t has taken the purse

Money Hss Languages.
To approach the subject forearmed
one must realize what sort OF pressure
throws foreign exchange on par. One
can buy thing in foreign country
only with the coin or currency of that
country. II an American, travelling in
Greece, desires TO buy a souvenir on
Mars Hill he cannot offer dollars in
payment. It is not improbable that
the vender would not know what the
money was. He must buy what he
wants by proffering drachmas. II in
Germany he must buy with marks.
Similarly, the peanut vender in Knox-
vile is not going to part with peanuts
to an Indian who offers him handful
OF annas, nor to a Chinese who offers
to deal on the basis of the Haikwan
tael. He will not even part with his
peanuts for q British sixpence. He

Better Refrigeration
Aids Vegetable Trade
BY HARDEN COLFAx,

An investigation by the Departments
OF Agriculture and Commerce discloses
that trade in fresh fruits and veae
tables at the II largest cities of the
country has more than doubled in
the past half dozen years. This. ac-
cording to an announcement. Is due
primarily to improved Transportation
and refrigeration methods, making it
possible to sell basket of tomatoes. a
crate Of lettuce or q Consignment nj

country with far less fear of spoilaee

OF fresh fruits and vegetables all the

OF some of the larger organized units
Of the food industry to better methods
Of distribution.
The investigators of the Commerce
Department gave special consideration
TO fruits and vegetables because of the
fact that modern Improvements In re-
frigeration are not so easily applicable
to them, although these improvements
nave made it possible to extend the
season for some fruits to practically
the entire year
In 1881, the report says, the farm
value of fresh fruits in the United
States was 1896 10000 and OF vege-
tables, $3.50, 100000. Exports of fresh

trade has grown up in the past few
years, thanks largely to the phenom-

Requiring, as they do. special handling

Fright Often Cause of
Epcs With Soft Shells

Fright is often the cause of internal
ly broken eggs which generally prove
fatal. Fright is common cause of
soft-shelled eggs. Such eggs are not
only a loss, but they are passed with
such difficulty as to give rise to Sc
rious complications which may end
with the loss of the pullet. Soft
shelled eggs may also be responsible
for pullets contracting the egg-eating
habit.
Moreover, fright seriously affects
egg production. Unfortunately, fright
often becomes a permanent condition
and injury; let the pullets become
frightened once and the least disturb
ance or irregularity afterwards will
often cause them to go "all to pieces"
Whether flock of pullets has gone
to nerves" or not may determine
whether they will yield a profit or a
loss.
Since fright may lead to serious
conditions and losses, how can it be
prevented? Simply by special care
and management. When pullets are
given no cause for fear they soon well
come the companionship of the care
taker or even visitors if due care and
precaution are exercised.-Farm Jour
nal

Increases Size of Eggs

Increasing the size of eggs laid by q
flock can be brought about by using
only male birds from large-egg dams,
states G. G. Burroughs, Dane county,
wisconsin. In three years the average
weight of dozen eggs from his flock
has increased from 1872 ounces to 26.4
ounces.
Mr.. Burroughs attributes his early
small-egg weights to a group of cock
erels saved from heavy-producing,
small-egg hens, but his present pullets
are sired by cockerels from dams that
produced eggs weighing from 26 to q
ounces per dozen. In April this flock
was the leader in the Record Of Per-
Torrance poultry focks of the state.
In this contest production and egg size
are both considered.-Prairie Farmer.

POULTRY
PUTTING FLESH ON
BIRDS FOR MARKET
Advice Applicable to All
Turkey Raisers.

BY o. G. UFFoRD. Extension Poultryman.
Colorado Agricultural College.
WNU Service.
The range for turkeys to be fattened
should be restricted, because excessive
exercise on a free range prevents the
birds from putting on flesh as they
should.
A mash of ground feeds should be
kept before them all the time, in hop
pers. Any Of the grains that are
raised In the state, such as corn,
wheat, oats or barley, may be used in
this mash, which may be composed
of equal parts by weight of the grains
available.
In addition to mash, the turkeys be-
ing fattened should receive whole
grain in the mornings and evenings.
Some growers prefer to put the whole
grain in hoppers and, keep it before
the birds at all times.
1t may require some time before the
turkeys take to grains they have not
been used to, and any change in the
ration of the flock should be made
early enough that the birds will be-
come accustomed to the change before
the fattening period starts. Milk, II
available, should be kept before the
flock being fattened. 1t is also good
practice to soak some Of the whole
grain in milk before feeding it.

their stomach and bowels are out of

In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders,
by the quick and gentle way it re-
moves all the souring waste which is
causing the trouble, regulates the
stomach and bowels and gives these
organs tone and strength so they
continue to act normally of their own
accord. Children love its rich, fruity
flavor and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved its
merit and reliability in over so years
of steadily increasing use. A West
ern mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Mont
rose, California, says: "My little girl,
Edna's, tendency to constipation was
a problem to me until began giving
her California Fig Syrup. 1t helped
her right away and soon her stomach
and bowels were acting perfectly.
Since then I've never had to have
any advice about her bowels. have
also used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success"
To be sure Of getting the genuine,
which physicians endorse, always ask
for California Fig Syrup by the full
name.

PENNY THINGS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOcH

THE little steps of little feet go
romping here and there;
hear them in the crowded street,
hear them everywhere;
And little feet find life song and
youth time Of play.
The journey short, however long, with
joys along the way.
The street an alley, little more, the
children are content;
They find the windows of store q
land of wonderment.
Though stories tell of queens and
kings, and silk and lace and ruff.
The windows full of penny things are
wonderful enough.
I wish that we could go our way as
little children, too.
And find our pleasure in today, as lit
tie children do.
They have their dreams as we'll as
ours. their castles gilt and glass,
that blossom where they pass.
However bright the rainbow CLEANS.
how great the pot of gold,
The children know that dreams are
dreams-but here's a hand to
hold,
And here's window and toy, and
here's top that sings;
They never overlook the joy God puts
in penny things.
We build our castles. In the air, our
battlements in Spain,
But, If we never journey there, the
other joys remain.
So let us do as children do, who dream
of fairyland,
And yet who know the pleasure, too.
of pleasure close at hand.
I hope we never dream so much, as
through the world we go,
Whatever heights we ever touch, what
ever depths we know,
We never feel the thrill of yore, the
thrill that childhood brings,
Before the windows of a store just full
of penny things!
