Peach Code a Bit SZoqc

THE peach canning agreement which pro-
Uded for higher prices to be paid to the
growers of peaches was not concluded until
about IS per cent of the normal production
of peaches had been contracted for at prices
lower than those prevailing in the agreement.
The Government through the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration is now seeking to
have the buyers revise the contracts upward
in order that the price paid be uniform
Two main objections have been raised by the
buyers, one that there is no assurance that the
contractors will pass the increase on to the
orchardist and the other chat the increased
price will lower consumption.
The administration officials counter by de-
claring that the law requires the Gamers to
pass on the increase to the grover and the
fear Of lowered consumption is answered by
the fact that the increased cost per can should
not exceed cent.
Altogether about 100000 cases are canned
each year.

Baron zrenck, Trouble Hunter

He was loaded with chains, his body being
encircled by an iron band attached to chain
which was fastened to a heavy iron bar Later
ar iron collar was riveted around his neck.
The name of Trenck was built in the wall
and beneath his feet was tombstone bearing
his name and deaths head
It was gruesome to think Of, let alone behold.
It is no wonder that thoughts of suicide almost
overcame him at times.
Trenck determined to try once more to dig
his way out The first step was to loosen his
fetters. BY continued effort he withdrew his
hands from the handouts. Then he filed
through the chain attached to the iron band
around his body, made chisel from long
nail, and cut through inches Of oak floor
planking under which he struck bed Of
sand. This sand he passed out to sympa-
thi1ng sentinel.
But after eight months of hard and painful
labor his efforts proved in vain There came
a change of governors, and Trenck was bur-
dened with additional chains. Six months Of
illness followed.
Trenck was finally released after 10 years
of confinement because of the impression his
ingenious attempts to escape made on Prince
Ferdinand of Prussia.
After gaining his freedom he wandered about
Europe, finally marrying wine merchants
daughter and settling down in France. In the
turmoil of the French Revolution he fell under
suspicion and in 1874 was guillotined

At the road he halted, turned the wagon bed

and wedged a stone beneath it. Then he un-
hitched Minnie and turned her about in the
chains SO that she faced the way they were
going, with the fiat bed before her, checking

stone away.

In 1854 his mother died in Prussia and he
obtained permission to visit Danzig to settle
some family affairs. When he got there, how
ever, the authorities. at the demand Of the
King of Prussia, delivered him to Prussian
agents. He was taken to Berlin and lodged
in the fortress of Magdeburg.
No sooner was Trenck locked in his dungeon
than his active brain was at work planning
escape. Tearing loose an 18-inch iron bar
which fastened his table to the wall, he broke
off the cnchings of nails, preserving the heads
that he might replace them to avoid detection.
IA nth these tools he raised the brick floor
w and uncovered layer Of earth. In bor-
ing hole through the 7-foot wall he first
removed a portion of layer of brick and
encountered a barrier of hewn stones. The
bricks. both from the floor and the wall were
carefully numbered so that they could be
replaced
Trenck disposed Of the excavated dirt by

speed limit, the average is forced to be cut
down because of the turning in the circle. At
this speed a will travel SO many feet per

tween the semi mi-circumference and the diameter,
and this will give the number of seconds to
travel around the circle.
Multiply this number of cars passing the

gives the number of hours wasted per day.
For example. the hours wasted at Thomas and
Dupont Circles are SO and Al hours, respectively.

1t takes only piece of paper to tabulate diff

restful park to tired pedestrians, but motorists
spend over $22 500 annually because Of its size.
THE street car companies are likewise affected

added friction in the tracks on the curves thus

there Is no count made as to the number of cars

PLANE AND STEAMER RACE
TO SAVE NOME BABES LIFE

SEATTLE, Feb. 13-An 11-day
race by airplane and steamer from
Nome to Seattle to save the life of
a 9-months-old boy was success
fully completed here yesterday when
physicians told Mrs. E. NJ. Nelson of
Nome that her son would live.
Mrs. Nelson and her child ar
rived in Seattle last night on the
steamer Northwestern. The child
was rushed from the pier to Il
hospital where X-rays were taken
Physicians informed the mother
that the child was suffering from
persistent thymus gland trouble.
THE boy is apparently quite COM
Portable. He has a fighting chance"
DR.. A Drtina said after a preliminary
examination. Later further ex-
animation was made and the ply
stefan told Mrs. Nelson that the
child would live.
Il was tortured by the fear that
the journey would be in vain," the
mother said.
The first of this month physicians
in Nome told Mrs. Nelson that her
child would not live more than three
weeks without special medical treat
ment. She then started by airplane
for Cordova, where the steamer
Northwestern was held to await her
arrival. Steaming south under forced
draft, the vessel arrived here one
day ahead of schedule.
Mrs. Nelson's husband is an en-
ploye of the Alaska road commits
sion at Nome. Their other son,
Robert. aged 2, accompanied his
mother to Seattle.

OFFICIAL ACTION NEEDED

Two of the largest insurance COM
panies In the nation have taken
notice of the acute farm credit sit
uation by agreeing to suspend all
foreclosures on farm mortgages
when the owner of the land Is in
possession of the property and do
ing his best to meet his obligations.
This is a humane and generous &C.
ton but it does not solve the prob
lem involved, nor is 1t likely to
prove advantageous to the insur-
ance companies policy-holders II
the company has much of its assets
in farm mortgages. Some legislative
action, on a national basis Is ur-
gently needed, both for the relief of
the farmer and the protection of the
creditor. There is no doubt that re-
financing of farm obligations, with
a scaling down of debts to conform
to present valuations, is necessary.
But such refinancing must be uni
form and governed by law.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas has
asked the senate to consider legis-
lation of this variety. The senate
will be making a serious mistake If
it does not take immediate action
on this pressing problem.-Ex.

INCLUDE THE MEN

Reports from a number of states
show Investigations under way to
determine the number of married
women on the state payroll whose
husbands are employed, with the
view of separating very quickly such
women and their jobs.
If women are to be subjected to
questions about their personal af-
fairs, it is only just that the men
should likewise be included. With
out doubt, many cases may be found
where a state employed husband has
wife employed in some line OF
business.
Unjust double employment prob
lens cannot be solved by putting
only employees of one sex on the spot.

1t to the attention of communities
where a combination of financial
troubles have struck hard at both
the merchant and the working man.
Here, briefly, is how the scrip
works. John Jones is working for
the city or on county relief rolls.
He is paid in scrip. Does he lay in
the scrip for rainy day? No, he
spends it Immediately, with the but
cher, the baker and the CANDLE
stick-maker. Is he penalized by the
merchants for turning in scrip? No,
they all accept it freely. But If he
is slow in disposing of his scrip, and
lets Wednesday roll around without
spending it, he has to pay the coun-
ty or city two cents for a stamp to
be affixed to the scrip for each
dollar of the scrip that he owns.
Every week new stamp has to be
placed ON the scrip certificate. After
fifty or more weeks have passed,
and a dollars worth of stamps are
attached to the certificates, it is
redeemable at face value by the city
or county. The effect if the scrip is
to put money into circulation, open
the trade channels and restore ac-
tiyity. The plan deserves careful
consideration.-Ex.

FARM WAGES LOWEST IN
PAST "a YEARS, SAYS BUREAU

Farm wages are the lowest in
thirty-four years, ranging from an
average of 40 cents a day with
board in South Carolina and Geor-
gia to$1.75 a day in Rhode Island,
according to the bureau of agricul-
tural economics, U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The bureau has re-
ports that some farm hands in
north central states are getting only
board and lodging for their labor.
The bureau attributes the unprec-
edented low demand for hired
laborers on the farms to the
decline in the prices of farm prod
ucts. Farm operators are being COM
PEELED to do their own work, and
those who have any cash resources
are spending only what is unavoid-
able for the services of hired hands.

NO MILITARISE HERE

Some of Mr.. Newton d. Bakers
remarks before the Army Ordinance
Association in New York recently
possesses a special significance be-
cause. as he said, "one of the pas
sions" of his life has been the pro-
motion of international peace. Re-
ferring to the popular misconcep-
ton that soldiers desire war as an
outlet for their. professional abilities,
the former Secretary of War said:
THE history of the United States,
when scrutinized, fails to disclose a
single war fomented by officers of
the American army. But when states
men have failed to keep the peace,
we can say with pride that the
American soldier has never flinched
but has sprung eagerly to the de-
tense of his country"
Militarism has never gained any
foothold in this country, which pos
sesses the most democratic system
of defense, without maintenance of
a large standing army. 1t is matter
of pride that our comparatively few
professional soldiers are trained to
the highest efficiency, but this does
not make them militaristic in spirit
Peace treaties and reduction of
ornaments have their place. But the
will for peace must be the most po-
tent factor in the prevention of
war.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

AN ACHIEVEMENT

The white population of Wran-
CELL has watched with interest and
admiration the construction of the
new Alaska Native Brotherhood
hall by members of that organiza-
ton.
When the Natives decided after
the close of the fishing season in
1881 to tear down their old build
ing on Front street and build again
despite the fact that they had less
than 500 in their treasury, they
realized that it was a big under
taking.
Nevertheless, they went ahead
with their plans, and from the day
that boats were sent out to the Point
Warde cannery where lumber from
the dismantled buildings could be
secured at small cost, to the present
time when the hall is nearing COM
pletion, a few dominant leaders have
kept the project alive when interest
Jagged, by sheer persistence, coupled
with much strategy. patience and
hard work.
All labor has been donated, men
working on the building between
fishing seasons and when a job with
wages was not available. Wrangell
merchants have generously extended
credit for needed building materials,
but the indebtedness Ia now under
$1,000 and 1t Is estimated that not
over $500 will have been expended
when the building Ia completed.
In congratulsting the men on
their achievement in constructing
an up-to-date hall which would have
cost several thousand dollars IL built
under ordinary conditions, 1t must
not be forgotten that Alaska Native
Sisterhood members have rendered
valiant service to the men folk
through their encouragement and
sympathetic attitude. While the
women have not welded carpenter
tools nor performed heavy labor on
the building, they have played an
important part in its construction
and should be congratulated as we'll
as the men.

COLORADO EDITOR SPONSORS
PLAN TO WHIP DEPRESSION

ORDWAY, Colorado-A plan to
whip the depression in Crowley
county is on the verge of success,
its author, L. I. Griffin, publisher
of the Ordway, Colorado, New Era,
has reported.
Nearly the required hundred men
needed to make the plan a success
have agreed to participate. Griffin
said.
My proposition is this" the pub
Usher declared. 81 will agree with
one hundred persons to have some
work done to the extent of $40;
work which 1 am not now consider
ing. The other 80 in the agreement
must likewise spend $40 on some
thing constructive.
For this work we will issue ten
checks for 81 each to the persons
doing the work. These checks will
be honored at the bank where they
are drawn as soon as ten endorse
ments have been placed on each
within a 30-day period from the
date of the check. 1t will mean
that a sum Of $1,000 for labor will
be set up Immediately and that each
check will be cashed ten times,
making a total volume of business
transacted of $4,000 in thirty
days"
