MY LOVED ONE

My loved one brings me GOODNESS here

And ever makes to disappear
The vileness of LIES harsh onslaughts.
You, lover, never leave my side
To seek a fairer one

Beneath fixed, eternal sun.

CLEVELAND, Feb. l6.-Inside the gates and high fences around the country estate" of the late John D. Rockefeller Sr., WPA army works to make the grounds a pub lie park.
 Wheelbarrows move along the paths where Rockefeller liked to bi- cycle in the moonlight.
 Shovels and manpower grade the rolling acres. In 1940, the million dollar tract of 253 acres will be open to the public.
 When Rockefeller bought the site for $1,000 an acre in 1873, it was ru- ral property, located at least six miles east of Cleveland business and industry. Now it is a part of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights.
 Last year, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who often returned to the es- tate after the family moved from Cleveland, gave the site to the two cities in which it lies for park pur- poses.

 COM. RICKETTS,
Navigation Class Is 10 Car. " on Despite Ab-

 The class will be under the sup ervision of Lieutenant Commander Noble G. Ricketts of the Coast Guard cutter

 Due to the absence of the cutter, which for the past four days has been patrolling for possible clues of the lost Marine Airways ship, the faculty personnel is reduced to one member.
 The Lieutenant Commander is now on a three weeks leave of ab- sence from official duties and is thus available to carry on the func- tion of this popular navigation night school

BARTER TRADE SLOWS DOWN IN
 LATIN AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Henry Chalmers, veteran Commerce De- partment trade expert, says that Germany's efforts to extend it's trade by barter agreements were meeting with increasing difficulties, particularly in Latin America.
 In review of last years world trade, Chalmers noted that Ger manys export sales have not in- creased in recent years so fast as those of the United States and Great Britain. He added
 Without minimizing the need for close study and effort on these par 'ticular situations, the fact that, &C., cording to official trade records, the recovery in the value of total Ger man exports to all countries from the depth of the depression has not been as great as that of the United States or the United Kingdom-and is still not as close to pre-depression level as the export trade of both the other countries-suggests that on the whole only relatively moder- ate results have thus far attended these exceptional German methods
 Chalmers said that even in such Latin American countries as Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico, where German sales have increased in recent years, the gains have been made at the expense of countries other than the United States. He added that Germany has made mo sienificant' gain in the important markets of Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba"
 Germany's chief gains, he said, have been in Southeastern Europe and these have been largely offset by losses in Northern and Western Europe.
 Because of adverse economic con- ditions, particularly the business recession here. Chalmers said, the world tended last year to put more barriers in the way of trade than were removed.
