cRANDMoTHEH's CREEK

With their mother, three little
children went from Pascagoula
TO VISIT their grandmother who has
a country home up the state, one
that she had recently purchased.
Everything was novel and ex-
citing but the biggest hit of all
was a small creek that flowed
just outside of the back gate in
which they could play all day.
After the littlest one had gone
to bed the first day and was be-
ing tucked in for the night, she
said, Mother, where did grand
mother get all that water?" She
knew all about the gulf, but had
never seen even a small body of
water inland.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Mahara-
jah of Baroda. en- route to London
from New York, refused today to
say whether he would accede to
demands of his Legislature to alb
dictate as ruler of one of India
richest princely states.
Reached aboard the liner Queen
Elizabeth by radio telephone, the
Maharajah scoffed at charges by
his Legislature that he misused
$4,000 900 of his states public treas
ury. He is one of the richest men
in the world.
Some one must have put this
rumor out about me-" he said. He
added he plans to fly to India soon
after his arrival in England. He
is due at Southampton tonight
The London Star said the Maha-
rajah will fly back to Baroda in a
personal plane. silvery DC-3 equip
ped with powder blue armchairs, a

newspaper said he will be accom-
panied home by his second wife and

The Maharajah refused to say
when he would leave or whether he
would take the maharanee and
their son.
The Maharajah. reputed to have
an income of some $4,000 900 year,
said he had nothing to say on
complaints from his realm against
his horse racing activities in Eng

He said he had not heard any
criticism of his reputation as an
owper of one of the leading racing
stables in Britain.

The revaluation of the mark, an
old story in Germany, came at a
time when bumper crops of grain,
potatoes and fruit were being har-
vested in the American zone. To
the layman the whole countryside
appears vastly productive.
We flew low over hand-kept fields
and forests or drove in jeeps across
most of the zone.
Summer Days Still Long.
The cleaners bent and toiling over
fields for the last grain of wheat
seemed to indicate faulty distribu-
ton rather than lack of food. The
real lack appeared to lie in farm
machinery, commercial fertilizers
and live stock. There was, however,
no dearth Of hard work and long
hours for all the families on tiny
farms fitted so precisely together. =
Heavy and continuous rains let
up just In time to save the bulk of
the grain crops some two weeks ago

Incentive for Worker.
The new mark with its purchas-
ing power is an incentive for the
German worker accustomed to pa
per money that would buy next to
nothing, although the reform has
boosted the cost of living for our
occupation forces.
1t will mean fewer servants and
higher prices for our people in Ger
many and nobody seems to know
what the eventual cost of backing
American zone currency will be to
the taxpayers.
The initial cost probably will be
offset in the long run by putting
the Germans back on their feet.
Economists figure the Germans
could be an asset instead Of a
liability.
Even Americans. hurt in their
