T SOIR, Brussels-Buy Belgian!
Such a policy will do more to
restore our national prosperity
IL than any other. If We buy only
agricultural commodities and
manufactured merchandise produced
in Belgium, the impetus transmitted to
our internal economy and public
finances will be both immediate and
notable
The farmer, the operative, the la
borer the buyer and seller, Of every
kind and class, and all our native
markets and enterprises will feel the
healthful currents of new vigor ami
mating their industry and their voca-
tions Especially will the smaller busi-
nesses prosper, and it is far better to
have thousands of proprietors of humble
shops and garden plots acquiring small
profits than to have all the trade con-
fined to the brokerage houses, whose
only concern is to see how great VOL
ume and variety of goods they can move,
either in or out of the country.
In the opinion of many local cham
bers of commerce, as well as the
Comitie Central Industriel, it were
expedient also were our people to pat
ronize only Belgian physicians, attor-
neys and other practitioners in the
PROFESSIONAL groupings hlieio III tiiCoC
vocations, no matter how capable and
proficient they may be, should be en-
gagged only when the services Of no
Belgians of equal ability and expert
ence are available.
If it should be urged that there
is demand among our countrymen
for many wares and goods not pro-
duced within our borders, let us not
forget the Belgian colonies, which are
so we'll appointed. both in climate and
resources, to supply all that We need,
both in aliment and in the necessities
of other comforts and manufacture.
Our industry, which has sustained as
great a setback as that OF any other
nation in this far-reaching economic
debacle, is making heroic effort to
come back to some aspect OF normallty.
But even a measure of this recovery
cannot be attained unless we all CO.
operate in faithful obedience to the
governmental appeal so concisely ex-
pressed in the patriotic watchword,
"Achetez beige" This course and
strategy alone will cure our economic
ills.

with so much poise and charm as on

some lucrative smuggling. Knowing
that the foot balls which they were tax

inspected at the frontier, few of the
Bulgarian athletes concocted the no
tion of filling them with cigarets, in
stead of wind. They were amateurs let
it be understood, both in their favorite
game and in the finesse of smuggling.
The original scheme was well planned,
and had they adhered to it, no doubt

THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT: ITS
ORIGIN AND PROBLEMS. BY j.
Laurence Laughlin. New York: The
Macmillan Co.
When the Federal Reserve act be-
came law there was much random talk
ing among people who knew very little
about the provisions Of the act. and
even among those who knew something
to the effect that the new Federal Re-
serve System would prevent future busi-
ness panics and depressionS. So. in a
sense this is timely book, though il
comes some years after the enactment
of the legislation it discusses. The au-
thor is emeritus professor of political
economy in the University of Chicago
Part / gives the background in politics
and business of the Federal Reserve
act-the Bryan silver campaign. the
Aldrich bill, the Glass bill 19l2. 1919,
the McAdoo bill. the Newlands plan,
Wilson'S part in the passage OF the act.
Part describes the problems now con-
fronting the Federal Reserve System.
chiefly the problems of imitation and
politics. Prof Laughlin was formerly
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the National Citizens League for the
Promotion of a Sound Banking System,
and in part l draws largely on his per-
sonal experiences with legislators and
Government officials and business or
ganizations in his promotion OF sound
banking law.

State Law Is
Knife Slashing
Local System
Figure Several Teachers Must Be
Dismissed, Lose Months InStruc-
ton And Eliminate Courses

Salisbury school officials can see
nothing but wreckage of the Local
educational system under the state
school bill, which mas already pass
ed the senate and house.
The school law, limits the school
term to eight months, and elimin-
ates all special chatter districts.
Provision is made for local sup
plements by a vote of the people.
after an election has been approved
by the local governing body, and
the state education commission,
Districts with more than 1000
students may be up by the state
education commission as admins
trative units.
If a local supplement- is voted by
the people, these funds cannot be
used for extension of the term be-
yond eight months and may be
only applied to teachers salaries.
There was a question in the
minds of local school authorities as
to whether an election would be
required each year for the local
supplement. Since the mount of
the levy might necessarily change
each year, there was a question of
whether the people would have. to
vote each year on the definite levy
to meet the needs for that year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Disclos- ure that the Government has used only a fraction of it's fifty E.iilion dollar fund for gold buying in the slightly more than ons months operations, caused a wig orous and new demand from Unit ed States Senator William E. Borah for remonetization of silver
 The exact figures are withheld on the Reconstruction Finance Corporation actual outlay fol newly mined domestic gold and gold bought abroad but official quarters describe the amount as nothing like the amount yet set aside, estimating that perhaps on- ly one half has been used.
 A F. of l.. Statement
 At the same time the American Federation of Labor added anoth- CT element to the situation with the statement in the monthly re- port on the review of business that uncertainty over the dollars future and the fear of fiat money will retard business advance. The Presidents method of devaluing the dollar by stating the gold price daily differs greatly from imitation or fiat money.
 The Federation also found the beginning of improvement in ba- sic construction, steel and lumber industries, which brightens the horizon.
