- UT in the glorious high lands of the
Rockies met two men on memoir
- able afternoon few weeks ago. In
most respects they were as different as 1t is
possible for two men to be, and yet they were
strangely alike.
One was man we'll in his eighties who as
brave lad of seventeen had come up to the
Indian country with trail herd from Texas.
He was true pioneer He had helped settle
great land and turn what had for thousands
of years been buffalo range into pros
porous, highly developed state. With his own
hands he had pushed back the frontier.
The other man was youth in his early
twenties Short, heavily built and dark
complexioned, he was obviously foreigner
- an immigrant He spoke broken English
and he admitted that he had been in this
country only four years. Yet in his own way
he was as much pioneer as the grand old
CoWman.
For this youth from the ghetto of Lodz,
Poland, had the heart of dreamer and the
will OF a frontiersman He was unafraid of
what might seem to timd men to be unsur
mountable odds. He was ready and willing to
face unknown dangers. He was resourceful
and sef-reliant He was building his life and
his home in strange and hazardous land.
He was repeating the endless and beautiful
Epic of America
His covered wagon had been the steerage
quarters of an ocean liner. There were no
longer free lands to pull him deeper and
deeper into the West but to his Wide-open,
eager eyes there was still plenty of American
opportunity. He could still adventure. There
we're NO limits to the frontiers that opened
their bright vistas for him.
He had asked no more favors than my old
cowman, who had possessed only his horse, his
gun and his intrepid dreams, The man on
horseback had contributed toward building
the Old America This youth was helping to
build the New America. They were both
pioneers.

MASONS WILL BUY
zOLL|COFFER HOME
Chapter And Commandery
] JOHN With Blue Lodge
In Approving Plan

Masonic bodies of Henderson will
purchase the z6lifcoffer homeplace on
Young street, between the court mouse
and the First Presbyterian church,
and will use it as lodge home and
club quarters, it was learned today
The purchase price could not be def
nitely learned, but it was reported to
be $4,000 or $4,000.
The chapter and the commandery
bodies of the Masons, at their regular
meetings Tuesday night, fell in line
with the blue lodge, which acted a
week ago, in giving their approval and
endorsement to the idea of the pur-
chase of the property. Extensive al
terations will be necessary to equip
the large residence for the purpose OF
the Masonic groups, and it is under
stood that work to that end will be
started in the very near future.
The Masons have recently been
paid $4,000 of a $4,000 purchase price
for the lot the Masons owned at the
corner of Winder and Wyche streets,
which was taken by the government
for the enlargement of the post of
flee two years ago. The remaining
$4,000 is to be Paid in the near fu-
ture.
Money from this cash fund will bo
utilized to purchase the property and
to alter the residence to be used as a
lodge hall and club quarters. No de
tails were available today as to just
what would be done to the house, but
it IS understood the Eastern Star, wo-
mans branch of Masonry, will have
the privilege Of using the quarters
also.

SALES OF TOBACCO
END FOR HOLIDAY
Small Sales Precede Thanks
giving Day; Resume
On Next Monday

Sales for the week were suspended
on the Henderson tobacco market to-
day, Thursday and Friday being taken
off, as usual, for the Thanksgiving
holiday period.
The final sale today amounted to
only 1924 and sold for $7,330.46 for
an average of $500 per hundred
pounds. Tuesdays sale was 119 SIG
pounds, bringing $19,823.39 at an aver
age of 1888 per hundred.
Fred Allen, Jr., supervisor of sales,
said final figures for the season to
date would be available late today,
showing sales just short of 100000
pounds. and with a season average
between $21 and $22 per hundred
pounds.
Mr.. Allen predicted a blocked sale
for next Monday, when sales will be
resumed. He also said heavy sale
was anticipated for Friday of next
week.
The market has three full weeks to
run before it ends the season on Fri
day, December 16. Tobacco men feel
confident the total season sales at
that time will amount to 100000
pounds. At any rate, that is the figure
they are shooting for, and they think
that would be creditable showing
for the year, in view of the short
crop that was produced in this part
of the State.

1T is difficult to see what has
l. been added to the sum Of
human knowledge by the opening
statement with which the long
heralded monopoly investigation
was launched. The statement was
made by DR.. Isador Lubin, COM
missioner of statistics of the Labor
Department, and it has been I'M
derstood he has been working on
this for some time.
DR.. Lubin revealed that our rate
of population growth has been
diminishing; that OUR rate Of pro-
duction goods has been diminish
ing and that wages and employ
ment have diminished.
From all this he drew the pro-
found conclusion that employment
has decreased because business
has shrunk. He added the further
conclusion that because of tech
nical developments less labor was
required to produce more goods.
There is scarcely a. school boy
who would not have been able to
duplicate these revelations. One
might, however, suppose they
were introduced as the beginning
of picture of the American eco
nomic scene which is to be painted
in larger detail as the inquiry
progresses. Perhaps so.
But there were other statements
which leave much to be de-
sired on the score of illumination
and, to put it mildly, precision.
DR.. Lubin informed the commit
tee that this was a durable goods
depression. That, incidentally, is
not new pronouncement. In 1929
when economists first began to
point out the facts on which this
idea rests, it was little understood
by the business world and even
less by most statisticians. But it
has had eight years of intensive
advertisement.
The chief criticism of this state.
ment, however, is the use of the
term durable goods" Occasion
ally writers refer to it as a
heavy" goods depression, mean
ing the same thing.
