that an ounce of gold was worth
no more and no less that $20.67
regardless of fluctuating commo-
dity costs.
The higher price, in the opinion
of some experts, caused the re-
lease of new gold. Now that the
president has embarked on policy
which enables the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to buy at an
even higher price, the flow may
be even greater.
Already there are indications of
increased production. Reports of
mining revival come in from all of
the gold producing sections of the
country.
The Picks Get Busy
Officials of the bureau of
mines in Washington anticipate
an increase in production. Just
how much of an increase there
will be they will not predict.
But they point to such state
ments as that made by Governor
Rolph of California that there is
sufficient placer mining ground in
his state to furnish subsistence
for 100000 men.
Also they point to the fact that
heretofore mine production has
been gagged by the margin of
profit possible at $20.67 an ounce.
With the base advanced at the
will of the president, and with the
RFC in the market for newly-min-
ed gold, the incentive for increas-
ed production will lure many.

The Elect

He laid no claim to title great,
Nor honor great or small
"Pm just an honest man." he said,
with the feel of an honest
CALL"
You may scott at his lowly birth,
And doubt his claim be true,
But chances are the battles won,
When he pledged himself to you.
We voted for this very man,
And the burden be his lot,
To carry on his honest head
A load we would not cart.
He promised no deeds of great ac-
claim.
Or miracles to perform.
Only chance, as an honest man,
To help in the battle scorn.
This message surges, you and l,
And folks we all knew we'll.
We voted for him, gave our sup
port,
Now help him up the hill.
