United States Trend to Farms

FL Commercio, Lima.-In the United

says his promise to marry her

There was a time, Jacket admits,
when he did have an Idea of this

From then until 1881, Jaeckel as

had been divorced he had checked

had kinda gotten used to 1t.

Lake and Swamps

South Dakota which used to take pride in draining its lakes and gaining the soil for agriculture, now is trying to restore them. The lakes, it finds, were valuable reservoirs. Deprived of their moisture. the region becomes more arid. Many another state is awaking to the same fact. that real conservation consists in saving as many lakes as possible. Some are going to the extent of creating new ones. It is the same with swamps which are merely shallow lakes with more vegetation than usual. Where they are drained, the loss of 'mois- ture, along with the loss of fish, birds and other wild life is often greater than the gain of new soil.
 The province of Ontario, in Canada. finds that after 'conquering swamps it has often lost streams and woods. making large areas barren. A leading Canadian news paper insists that instead of making grants to townships for retaining swamps. the province should pay them for preserving the swamps. Nature seems to know what she s doing oftener than men give her credit for

Cheap Whiskey

Congressional leaders now busy working out post prohibition liquor taxes show liberal spirit. Their idea is to make taxes and prices low. There has been on spirit uous liquor not for medicinal purposes tax of $6.40 a gallon. This tax, intended as punitive" is discarded because it has not worked. Its effect was to drive drinkers in to the arms of the booteggers Correspond ents at Washington say the federal tax will probably be lowered to 50 or 75 cents gallon. enabling the public to buy good whiskey' at $l.50 to Sl.75 quart. This would mean pre-war prices.
 Thus, it is explained, the bootleggerS and moonshiners will be foiled, and people will have plenty of whiskey less harmful than what they have been drinking, and Uncle Sam may be able to collect, from all kinds of liquor as much as $700,000,000 year. Half a million might be safer guess. That much would be a big lift for the budget, or would serve and amortize quite lot of recovery expenditure. But there will be a good deal of argument about whiskey and a good deal of insistenee on the govern snent fsvoring more liberal use of beer and wine

Why Education?

In abolishing all the Embellishments. fads and frills' in public school education, for reasons of economy, as the Chicago School Board proposed, great difficulty will be experienced in determining which are essentials and which are not. Perhaps the embellishments, fads and frllS are the courses which, the children enjoy and which have made them like school in recent years. Music art work and recreation have noth- ins to do with the good old essential three Rs.
 Yet there are saddened and thoughtful citizens, even taxpayers who have close interest in public economy, who would fight to hold these frils. As one of them points out, the depression ought to have taught us that education is not the means to material success we considered it few years ago.
 Education is means to enjoyment. not acquisition: it is a road to richer, happier living; it is. above all solaee for the narrowing years of old age. If school is to be anything but an asylum for the idle, 1t must be interesting, And if it is to be any thing but a brake on progress it must be flexible" A community would be much wiser to economize on monumental public buildings and high h-prieed limousines for it's officials in order to spend literally on true education for its children.

Surplus Lemons

There is an economic lesson in the story of Californias surplus lemons Five ot every six lemons grown in California are marketed. The sixth represents surplus In order to maintain fair price for the rest, the sixth is withheld, Formerly these surplus lemons. which make very large total were simply dumped to rot or dry up. Much good fruit went to waste
 To-day the surplus lemons arc con- verted into profitable byproduets They are made into pcetin, juice products and oil, critic acid and other commercially useful materials. The pectins are used in mak- ing jams and jellies, The flavorins IS used in bakery goods, candies and extracts Citric acid is used in making cttcrvescent salts.
 Onc-sxth of the total California produe- ton since 1915, amounting to 500,0OO tons of surplus fruit has yielded up to De- tober 3l. ,l932. products worth more than S5,000,0o0. It is a reasonable solution of the problem of d perishabc annual sur plus to turn it into profitable and pre- servable byproducts. Outright destruction is justified only as temporary measure in an emergency.

For Bank Insurance

The American Bankers Association may object to federal deposits insurance, for one reason and another but state bank super visors whose business it is to regulate banks, are for it. Supervisors of the 4S states, meeting in Chicago. have aligned them selves with the government and asked that they be allowed by the federal authorities to help put the new insurance law into effect, They are especially inclined to do this be- cause they believe corporation between state and federal bank officials would remove the fear of some state bankers that banks not belonging to the Federal Reserve might be diserminated against,
 Criticisms of bank deposit insurance, still heard here and there, seem rather far-fetehed in the present situation State insurance, often said to have been tried and found futile was obviously too much localized to succeed The present plan spreads and diff fuses the risk as is done by life insurance companies, It is going to be tried, at any rate, And that is probably fortunate even for the antagonistic bankers For without such d guarantee. after what has happened lately, the banks cannot expect to get back normal public confidence or normal deposits People would continue hoardng their cash or putting it in Uncle Sam s postal savings bank.

An idea of the possibilities for American industry, which are inherent in the pres ent effort to increase the purchasing power of the wage-earner, can be gained from Sec retary of Labor Frances Perkins recent ad- dress to the American Federation ot Labor convention Miss Perkins pointed out that two-thirds of the goods disposed of in America each year are sold to people whose incomes are less than S2,000 year. The moral is obvious. The wage-earner repre- sents the greatest of all markets. Increase his purchasing power and you give industry the greatest stimulus it could get anywhere. And, by the same token. if you decrease it. you make industry's recovery quite impos- sible. The best way to induce full recovery, in other words, is to start at the bottom.

Freedom Is At Stake

Albert Einstein's statement Tn London that modern life will not be worth living unless the liberty of the individual IS pre- served comes to us with especial force just at this time. Professor EinStein points out that the powers which seek to suppress in- telleetual and personal freedom are stronger now than they have been in years Without such freedom. he reminds us, there would have been no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Faraday. no Pasteur, no Lister; we would not have comfortable houses, or railway trains. or protection against disease or books: most of us would live dull lite of slavery. just as under the ancient deSpot- isms of Asia. Now this assault against free dom is succeeding not because the mass ot mankind suddenly has become convinced that freedom is worthless, but because the terrific pressure of economic calamity has forced people out of the old grooves
 In Russia, in Italy. and in Germany tree dom has been discarded because 1t has seemed that only ruthless despotiSm could straighten out the tangle of modern life and keep people from starving amidst plenty Fascist and Communist alike share that be- lief. They differ only in their ideas about who should be the deSpotS, And all ot thls becomes especially significant when viewed against the background of our present reeoV- cry program in Nhe United States
 What is being attempted here IS an ex- pertinent quite as far-reaching Tn Its poten- tialtieS for mankind as the experiments ot Stalin and Mussoni, We are trying to tnd some way of settling the almost insoluole economic problems of the twentieth century without resorting to dcSpotiSm at all; try ins to straightcn out the crossed wires or production and distribution on the one hand and to preserve individual liberty on the other. It is an enormously d'ttieuIt ob, Three of the greatest nations or Europe already have given 1t up as utterly impossible, Other nations are drifting slowly to the same conclusion, If the freedom of the common man is to be preserved Tn the world, the job will have to be done In the United States. And it is nothing less than that which is at stake today in our vast recovery program.
