JIMMY WALKER
. SEES SUCCESS
FOR FARLEY

James J. Walker, former mayor
OF NeD York, engaged By Inter.

the World Economic Conference,
today continues his description OF
the proceedings.
BY JAMES C"JIMMY') WALKER

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, LON
DON. June 10 0.N.SO For the
past seven years the newspapers
have "panned" me for never
punching a clock; but for the
past seven days I've developed
callous fingers punching a news
paper clock-and they've made
me like it.
For most of the week we have
had diplomatic doctors deScrib-
ing the symptoms of a very sick
world, but while it's the con-
ventional way of starting con-
vention, it did no harm if it
did no good.
Remedy Is Chief Need
It's merely like pointing out
o tooth that ached, or where
the shoe pinched, but the pa
tient does not have to be told
where pain is or what it is. He
knows it's emaciation of the pay
roll and pernicious anaemia OF
the pocketbook. He knows what
he wants and what he wants is
what he needs, and what he needs
is remedy for the cause Of his
trouble.
The world doesn't lack for labor
and intelligence, nor is there any
scarcity of goods and materials,
and we are told there is an
abundance of money-Wherever
1t is.
This all being true, the cure
seems to be obvious and simple
namely, a proper equitable and
workable system of exchanging
one for the other; or, as it was put
by the Italian who was working
in the ditch by the roadside and
when asked why he was breaking
stones, replied:
Il break de stones to getta
der mon to buya der food to get
der strength to breaks der
stones"
Experts Can't Agree
There we have a homely but
compelling description of the hui
man circle, a breaking of which
always has and always will be fol-
lowed by want and unhappineSS
and suffering, even as an inter
ruption of the world revolving on
its axis around the sun can only
result in black darkness for most
parts of the universe.
But it's in agreeing upon the
necessity and component parts of
methods and processes of ex-
change and working out a new
plan of constructive and enduring
benefit that the diplomatic doc
tors disagree, even those who ap-
proach the job unselfishly or even
altruiStically.
Some of them are handicapped
by viewpoint or habit, while
others seem to have their foot
caught in the stirrup of a hobby
they have been riding.
I am still hopeful, if not en-
tirely convinced, that the worlds
greatest experts foregathered in
London, compelled by the forces
of human necessity, will yet be
able to detach themselves from
their intellectual and political
impediments.
The keystone of success in this
convention must be thee same as
the necessary basis of success of
humanity, namely faith, courage
and confidence. The interna-
tional representatives must inspire
confidence in the world and faith
in their motives without any
vascillation, and there must be
no boom for doubling Thomases."

Demand for Silver
 Coins Heavy in 1882

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Demand for silver in coinage was heavier in 1888 than in any year since 1924, on the basis of statements received by the Federal Reserve Board.
 It was estimated that consump- ton in this field, during the year vas 47,0O0,000 ounces. Germany continued the mining of subsid- iary pieces, while the Mexican government asquired 28,2000 900 ounces to be coined into pesos. Toward the years end, Jugo-Slayia requested tenders on slightly more than 5,0OO,00o ounces, although ac- tually only 5oo,oOo ounces were bought.
 Frances demands were augment cd by the replacement with silver of the five, ten and twenty-frane notes of the Bank of France, al though her supply of silver bullion vas adequate so that no purchases were necessary.

trapped. The native trapper, talk ing a light sled and scanty amount of rations, trails the fox across country, following the tracks with exceptional diligence. When night overtakes, he curls up, turns his back to the wind and goes to sleep. When it is light enough he arises and resumes his trail ing until he jumps the fox which he shoots. They virtually run down the foxes" he saia
 Mining Industry Active
 The mining industry of the north ern districts is active, ne told. the Chamber. The production of the Nome area this season was ap- proximately $1,5O0,00O. Flat pro- duced another $450,000, and the Fairbanks Exploration Company had a good year in the Fairbanks district.
 Near White Fish Lake in the Kuskokwim prospectors have been attracted by successful dredging operations that apparently have revealed some good placer ground. In the Fairbanks area, lode de- rosits are being more consistently explored. Capt. A. E. Lathrop, coal mine operator and leading business man, recently acquired control of several properties and will under take development on ali extensive sale.
 Other Guests Present
 Other guests of the Chamber today included: Attorney General Elect James s. Truitt, Represen- tative-E,ect Joe E. Green from Hydsr; and William Sherman, United States Forest Ranger in charge of the Kenai district.
 They declined to make formal talks. MT. Truitt said he had ob- served the workings of the local Chamber with interest and prais- cd it's achievements. MT. Green, suffering from a severe cold, said he would be glad to talk to the Chamber at some future meeting CT the tax problem of the Terri tory.

He said he hoped to be able to accomplish this.
 Praises Chambers Stand
 Before he addressed the Cham Der, it had adopted a resolution condemning the action of the h. terior Department in purchasing recently 75,OOo ties for the Alaska Railroad in Washington instead of buying them from the cutters al- ready located along the line of . the Railroad He praised this ac- tion highly and declared that while t might be impossible to have the action rescinded, he believed it would be the last such pur- chase.
 T find it difficult to understand how anyone, even in Washington, could uphold, that kind of busi- ness.' he asserted The plain est kind of economics in the world would induce the railroad to give the business to those who see it's customers and who give it pat ronage rather than to someone wholly unable to give it any traf- flc."
 He pointed out that the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad, between Kennecott and Cordova, annually purchases all it's tel re- quirements from local cutters. First, because it recognizes it's re- sponsibility to give employment to local labor and business to these from whom it in turn derives business, and second, because the ties themselves are better than those that can be bought in the States
 Disagrees With Wickersham
 Quoting an expression of opinion from the present Delegate, Judge James Wickersham, to the effect that Alaska now is without any law relating to the location of placer mining claims, the Dele gate-Elect said he was forced to disagree, and declared in his opin- ior the so called Wickersham Act of August, 1912, is still in ef- feet and ought to be repealed.
 T have discussed this subject wherever I have gone .on my re- cent trip as well .- during the campaign. I have not found any, where any substantial disagree nlsnt with that position, and I did find almost everywhere pronounc- ed sentiment for it's repeal.
 He attributed much of the de- cline in placer mining to that law. Before 1912, he pointed out, AL aska's mineral production was ex- banding under the statutes then ifs force. After 1912, when the Wickersham Act limiting the num- Der of claims possible to be To- cated went into effect. the decline set in. and with the exception Of such operations as the Alaska Ju- neau and the Fairbanks Explora- ton Company, it has been con- tinuing"

ADVISE FARMERS TO
REDUCE CROP ACREAGE
[Coniinned from FirM Pagel

Often these unprofltable types of
farming continue through a series
of years, or until the property
changes hands or new methods are
used. A man who has grown up
with the agriculture of the commun-
ity, finds it hard to change a lifelong
habit. 1t is no small task to a type
of farming but every farmer can re-
duce his acreage and products and
this is what the Farmers Advisory
Council advise. The present changes
in economic conditions demands that
something be done TO help the farm
er, but the farmer himself can help
