Agriculture is still subject for pro-

date itself to human requirements as to
volume OF production, it has evolved
problems beyond those even of the
higher mathematics, which at least

giving the public the right answers.

When West opened singleton heart,

He could then play the jack Of hearts
with perfect safety, it being impossible
for his opponents to win more than
one club trick, plus the king Of hearts
and a ruff. Two Of his three losing
clubs would eventually be discarded
on dummy's long heart suit.
Declarer decided to take q chance
and finesse the king Of hearts. East

turned the deuce. Feeling certain

dummy's hand revealed clearly enough
that the only real hope Of setting the
contract was for him to obtain the
lead again and give his partner q Sec

Alas for East's hopes! West had
never heard Of this useful suit-direct-
ing convention. The daring play Of
undertaking his ace, queen Of Clubs,
with dummy's singleton staring him

lithium, tho feather weight metal
which will float on water and is five
times as light as aluminium.
1t is used as an alloy to harden such
metals as aluminium and lead and in
the manufacture of lithium chloride
salts, now extensively used in certain
types of air conditioning equipment.
Lithium is also in demand for use in
some types of storage batteries.
Before it was discovered in 1896 by
Frank Hess, geologist with the U. s..
Bureau of Mines, virtually the only
other known deposits of spodumene
were in the Black Hills of North and
South Dakota, according to Herman
j. Bryson, North Carolina State Geo
logist and chief Of the mineral re-
sources division of the Department of
Conservation and Development.
The North Carolina deposits are in
Cleveland county, not far from Kings
Mountain of Revolutionary War
fame, and are the largest in the world

The powerful influence of organized
wealth is the only reason why this
Government does not abandon this
dirty 'thieving traffic in bonds and
issue direct to the people paper money
with which to carry on their bust
ness. Now the rich and their lying
servants will tell you that will never
do. They say that would cause infla-
ton, but they never tell you that there
is just as much danger of initiation by
issuing all these bonds to the rich, as
in issuing paper money to do the bust
ness of the country When things are
coming their way it j. alright but
when any thing is done to help the
class that feeds us oil then it is
wrong.
1 hope the President has made no
mistake in naming Mr.. Reed for our

~ CIS IOlCOT.
while | have very great confidence
in Mr.. Roosevelt's innate goodness
and Judgment, do not like Mr.. Reed
whom he recently appointed to the
Supreme Court. It looks, at this dis
lance, too much like a compromise
with the economic royalists, the pow
erful enemy of Americas great pro-
ducing class. For no one seems 70
know whether Mr.. Reed is fish mr.
fowl. One Democratic Congressman is
reported as saying he was an able
lawyer Of the conservative type, while
another Congressman of the same no.
litical faith said he would make q
fine judge of the liberal type. Now I
do not think the President SHOULD
have appointed a man that important
office who could be spoken of in that
way. Plenty of good men he COULD
nave found who are known to overv
one to be champions of the people and
firm believers in just and honor
able Democratic government.
1t is quite plain something must be
done to the holders of great wealth
before the producing class can even
hope to live as decent citizens should.
l for one believe the President should
make a far more determined move
against them than he has ever indi-
Gated he would, and that in his ap-
pointments, to high places he should
choose men who will stand with him
and hold up his hands even when the
time comes to run up the flag flag in
the face of our common enemy.
However, thanks to Mr. Roosevelt,
more than to any one else, the fight is
on to free the farmers and workers
of America from the bondage of the
predacious holders of great wealth
And the only way that can be done
is to change the financial policy of
our Government If the Bible is true
I was taught it, every person who has
had anything to do with shaping GU
monetary system, from the days of
old Alex Hamilton to now, will go tc
hell. If the farmers and working peo-
pie, who have to produce ali on
wealth, would suddenly learn just hov
the money business of their Govern
ment is, and has always been, man
pulated for the enrichment OF IT,
holders of great wealth I promise yo'
there would be no more work dOhf

!. An announcement of historic i'm
portance in American literature, APP
re7rs inconspicuously in page of the
irce yendent Chronicle, Boston news
paper, Jan. %, 1889. 1t called atten-
lion 10 the publication on that day of
the first American novel, 1.-The Power
of sympathy, or The Triumph of Ma
ture,'' the work of an anonymous au-
thor
1t engaged the interest of Boston
ians Immediately not only because
native writers had up to that time,
produced no works of fiction, but be-
cause this form of expression was still
forbidden fruit to the majority of the
reading public. Popular feeling at the
time was that novels were lies, and as
lies could serve no good purpose;
they painted adventure too roman
tic and love too vehement"
Consequently, it took courage for a
publisher in that day to circulate any
kind of novel, particularly one with
the prestige of Isiah Thomas, editor
Of the Old Farmers Almanac. He
was doubly condemned, for the novel
told the story of woman who fell in
love with anothers husband, and it
was considered by it's critics as an
untruthful picture of American life.
The story, written by Mrs. Sarah
Morton, wife of Perez Morton, speak
er Of the Massachusetts, House of
Representatives, was actually thin
'y-veiled version of how Mrs. Mortons
own sister stole Mr.. Morton's affec-
ions!
This first American novel was the
first book to be banned in Boston,
which has been a banner town ever
since.
