Sharing Suffering

Vicarious suffering Is a fact of life,
and cannot be expelled from life
until love Is expelled. We cannot
care greatly for the highest interests
of another without bearing his in
firmities and taking on his sicknesses
may, even bowling to the burden Of
his sils.-Dr. Hugh Black.

France considers modification Of
her method Of fixing the price OF
wheat. This country endeavors to
increase wheat prices, and the
farmers income, by paying farmers
not to plant so much. Make wheat
scarcer, thus make 1t dearer. The
French apparently, have some other
plan, which included encouraging
the farmer to plant. all he could,
France being sometimes a wheat
importing country.
In London, Anthony Eden, Lord
Privy Seal, tells the house of com
mons that British troops will not be
used to help the French maintain
order In the Saar, soon to decide
whether 1t wants to be German or
French.
The British will want their dear
continental friends to be as happy
as possible, but In this decision
about the Saar they say to France:

yourself, with our best wishes for
both sides thrown In" War Is pain

Japan and England are friendly.
Japan will not demand naval equSt-

United States. Japan suggests a

for the United States, four for ia

President Roosevelt's words, prais-
ing workers In the Tennessee val
ley for their efficiency, made one Of
the most important speeches that
he, or any President or ruler Of a
country, ever made.

really cheap power for all.

Cheap power for farms, factories

that means conquest of nature and
her h%ardships, will free men from
slavery.
1t is planned, Washington says, to
convert millions of acres of uneco-
nomic land, worthless for farming,

On the millions of acres wild ami

may have the pleasure of shooting
them.
Civilization does progress, but
slowly, when the richest and an al

If a capitalist Is building a gigan-
tic hotel, to cost millions, does he
balance his budget that year or

He was director of the Boys

He founded numerous philan-

Members of his family were
present at his bedside when he
died. He first was taken seri-

Mr.. Rockefeller joined him in
1900. The son, when called be-
fore the Senate committee, showed
he was an able successor. He
was rated as a Millionaire and
one of the six wealthiest men in
the world.
More than any other man, Mr..
Rockefeller was credited with
elevating Charles E. Mitchell to
the presidency of the National
City Bank.
The financier's health began to
fail with the collapse OF 1var
Kreuger's house of financial

principal sponsors of the Swedish

Then came the gruelling Senate

Of late it is not believed Mr..
Rockefeller had been active in the
stock market. Wall Street believes
he did not hold any important posi-

Several years ago he made a large
fortune in wheat.
