buck with the split horn Is new king
of the fallow deer herd at the City

He's king by the sharpness Of his

sprawled by the wire fence Of the

horns were Clipped and smashed.
There was jagged hole-the death

of age were not quite enough to cope

SURVEY SHOWS
ACTIVE TRADE

The weekly summary Of the
general business situation by the
Statistics Company, New
York, currently comments:
Industrial activity and sales
to consumers have been main
tained at levels which, under the
circumstances, are surprisingly
high. The company index Of
industrial production for March
has been placed at SO.7, COM
pared with 1873 in February,
74.2 in January, 6S.6 in Decem-
Der, and 58.1 in March, 1888.
"In the earlier stages Of this
advance in business it was evil
dent that the gains were due
to what might be called normal
factors, such as restocking Of
depleted inventories and pur.
chaSes by consumers to replace
wOrn-Out goods. The normal Op-
Grafton of the seasonal factor
was also plainly in evidence.
cat the present time, however,
it is increasingly doub btful
whether these helpful factors
are not gradually being replaced
by others, the principal one be-
ing the ordering of supplies in
the effort to fOrestaII higher
costs, or to avoid shortages
which may be caused by strikes"
In this case the increase in
business activity would be based
largely on the existence of uncer
taintieS in the outlook. and a re
cession at a later date would be
a reasonable consequence, the re
view concludes.

COTTON FUTURE

INSTITUTE SEES
WEALTH GAINS

Basing it's figures on calcula-
tionS Of the relationship between
national income and estimates Of
national wealth, the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, in it's current
bulletin, says that the national
wealth of the United States, after
declining from a record high Of
$461 billion in 1929 to $213 billion
in 1882, showed a slight recovery
in 1888 to 1921 billion. This gain
was due entirely to al increase
in real wealth lnasmuch as the
average price level in 1888 was
lower than in 1882.
No official estimate of the ma
tional wealth of the United States
has been made by the Bureau Of
the Census since 1922, and there
is consequently much controversy
in regard to the present wealth
Of the nation.
1t is probable that the most sat-
isfactory figures on wealth are
those which are derived from the
national income statistics which
seem to be fairly reliable.
Comparison with official figures
of past years indicate that there
is always fairly constant rela-
tionship between wealth and in
come.

 AT SUNDAY FORUM
Margaret Slattery to Make Debut at Second C0n-
 gregatiOnal Church

Miss Margaret Slattery, we'll known author and lecturer, will be the speaker at the forum of the Second Congregational church Sum- day evening, at 7:sO. Her subject will be "The American Motive" |" Miss Slattery is an earnest student of foreign affairs, especially as they concern social and economic con- ditions affecting youth. She has studied at the league of nations in Geneva, in England, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Turkey and the Balkans. Miss Slattery has frequently acted as delegate to im- portant international conferences such as the Lausanne conference on faith and order, ard has addressed international conferences on relig- ion such as the Bournemouth council in 1880.
 Her books which deal especially with human interest problems have met with an unusual response from the reading public. Some of the most popular are; "The Highway to Leadership; You Can Learn to Teach" and "He Took It Upon Himself" Popular gift books for young people are: Just Over the Hill," "The Girls Book of Pray ers'' which has been reprinted reg ularly for over a period of 15 years, and her latest books for older young people, Two Words" and Important to Me" Of this latter book the Boston Transcript says:
 Few people can talk to young people of today about the really important things in life with the enthusiasm and compelling power of Margaret Slattery. She does not in the least despair of modern youth, she believes in them and has the faculty of making them be- lieve in themselves. She faces facts and gets them to face the facts. It comes straight from the heart and straight from the shoulder. It is not mere goody-goody stuff, but it puts forth life and its pur- poses and gives to the young folks of today an earnestness and en- ergy which is dynamic"

"It had been years since I was able to sit down to a meal and really enjoy it, owing to stomach trouble, until Vendol gave such grand relief" declared MT. Frank Del Prete of 1061 North Main street, who is employed by the City of Waterbury.
 My stomach has troubled me for fifteen years and during this time I've spent lots of money on, various treatments but got very little benefit.
 After meals I'd feel distressed, the gas would be so bad it caused shortness of breath and fast heart beats. Everything turned sour and seemed like a lump was in the pit of my stomach. Often I had a choking feeling but 1 couldn't swallow the lump.
