tinuing economic crisis, he
added, would amount to a
world catastrophe, and Mr..
Macdonald added that the
delegates met under the
shadow of the most ominous
economic crisis which has
ever afflicted the world in
time of peace.
Nations, we may add, have
known how to work their way
out of wars, have carried on
great conflicts and they
should have leaders of suffic-
lent skill to handle the eco
nomic problems, especially
when there is an abundance in
the world and not a scarcity.
1t is difficult to see how the
United States could avoid,
with satisfaction, playing an
important part in such a con
ference, especially if it is
broadened to include all phas-
es of the general economic
and financial situation and not
be confined merely to debts
and reparations. - Morning

ROAD BUILDING G-LABOR

It was disclosed at a meet
ing of the County Highway
Association at Rehoboth early
last week. that out Of
every $1,000 spent for road
construction about 500 finds
its way to labor. 'The fig
ures show" comments the
Every Evening, definitely
that the building Of highways
is one of the most remunera-
tive forms Of ''made work"
applicable to the unemploy-
ment problem. That is to say,
there is little money required
to meet the costs of overhead,
and a small percentage of the
total work is done by machin-
cry. Perhaps labor does not
get such a generous slice of an
appropriation through any
other method of helping to as
sist the unemployed. And the
substitution Of a good road
for a poor one is always a
good investment of itself"

Stag Leaps Over Motor Coach

Tourists visiting Minehead. Eng

while viewing the Doone valley
when a stag hunted by the Devon
and Somerset staghounds leaped
over the sightseeing motor coach.

able the passengers to watch the

cover and jumped from one field to
another over the keads Of the tour

HOME SATISFACTIONS

The years past have been
restless years. People were
not satisfied unless on the go.
This wandering spirit has
been costly, it has led to the
waste of savings, and contrib
uted to the influences creating
poor business. 1t would be a
great help to Smyrna if for
the next 10 years we could
cultivate the satisfactions of
home. We can find beauty in
the flowers of our back yard,
just as much as in the scenery
Of some distant state. The
charming scenes within a
short motor ride reveal the
wonder of the world, just as
much as scenic attractions
that cost a small fortune to
see. Let us put some affec-
ton into our home improve
ment, and we shall get more
out of life and it will not cost
us so much.

BACK TO THE FARM

The latest available govern
ment statistics indicate very
plainly that the back-to-the-
farm movement has been
translated into action. The
increase in the farm popula-
tion noted during the year
1881 was the largest and most
significant recorded by the
Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics in the ten years in
which the bureau has been es-
timating changes in popula-
tion. On January 1, 1881, ac-
cording to the bureaus fig
ures, 30,612,000 persons were
living on farms. On January
1, 1882, the total had increas-
ed to 31,26O,OOO, a gain of
648.000 for the year. For
seven years Of the past decade
annual decreases in farm pop
ulation were reported, and
only during 1880 and 1881
were there appreciable gains
indicated.
Even in these latter years,
however, there were shifts
from the country to the cities,
but these were far overbal-
anced by the movement coun-
tryward. The bureau, for ex-
ample, estimates that 1,472,-
900 persons left farms for cit
les and towns last year and
that 100000 persons moved
to the farms. The rural pop
ulation was further augment
ed by births, which numbered
441,000 in excess Of the
deaths.
In the movement from cit
les to farms, for both 1880
and 1881, and continuing into
1882, were many farmers
sons and daughters who had
previously migrated to the
cities and towns. There are
also many families who have
left the cities and are occupy
ing abandoned farms on which
they are trying to make a liv-
ing. The drift to the country
is significant Every Even

ECONOMY PROBLEMS

Premier Ramsey MacDon-
aid of Great Britain was
frank in his opening address
at the Lausanne, Switzerland,
conference on reparations and
other things. He declared
that the delegates represent
ing fourteen countries would
have to widen their efforts,
and he added that Europe
could not act alone, but must
have the help Off the United
States.
These remarks are not sur
prising. The United States is
tied up in the debts and repair
ations, and the like, and nat
urally the European delegates
wish to know our attitude to-
ward mastering the economic
matters that menace the well
fare of the nations. The con-

 SIGHT BUT MUST
 EARN A GAUbsTAKE

Four feet of marcasite (arsenical iron) ore, carrying an average value of $2780 per ton, is the reward of the winters work of Dan McMul- len.
 The ore has been developed in a 110-foot tunnel, all of which MT. McMullen has driven unaided. The strike was made near Mile 14 on the Moose Pass truck road, about one and a half miles from the road and on it's right side.
 Speaking of the developments, MT. McMullen said the topography gives foot for foot for his tunnel, and as the vein is traceable for con- siderable distance up the hill and holding strong as the tunnel pro- gresses, he believes he has a mine.
 The tunnel was driven alongside to shoot off ore and wall shots put in at intervals to determine the width. There IS little variation in width and sampling reveals that the values are generally distrib- uted.
 The returns of $27.8O came from mass sampling, taken across the entire face of the ore shoot, MT. NcMullen says that he can pick specimens which assay up into big figures, but that he is not kidding himself.
 Unfortunately, work will have to cease during the summer owing to the necessity of MT. McMullen hav- ing to go to work to secure another winters grubstake.
