would think he had been in the wilds too long.
 They Heard Music
 It all happened to the field party mentioned in Mondays Empire which walked over a later -discov- cred fortune in asbestos. The four men-Bob Parker, Walt Kirkness, Karl Weidman, Jr., and Molly Mac Spadden-were checking the upper tributaries of the Taku for spawn ing king salmon. They had been out for weeks when the strange things began to occur-and they began to think they had been out too long.
 The party went together from their camp on Teddedease Lake where they had flown in from Ju- neau-to the Nahlin River. There they split MacSpadden and Kirk ness were to work up. then back down the Nahlin, and Parker and Weidman packed up the old tele- graph trail, north towards the head of an unnamed river which flows osuth into the Nahlin. They call it "Z' river.
 Music-Bells Too
 Parker says he first heard the organ music-and bells, too, faintly -as they worked back south to the Nahlin Weidman heard them too- but neither of them wanted to ad- init it.
 Parker and Weidman were the ones involved in the helping hand incident. Parker was leading the way up over an almost unmanage- able slide when he felt someone giving his pack a boost. He look ed around. he says, thinking to tell Weidman that he didn't need help. He then noticed that Weid- man was not within reach. He shook his head and went on with out saving apvthing
 It was after they confessed to each other that they had both been hearing the ethereal, ghostly music on the trail that Weidman inquired if Parker had felt some- one-or something-pus their packs as they climbed the slide. They admit to an eerie feeling about it, but they do not question that it happened.
 Compare Notes
 Parker and Weidman arrived at an agreed assembly point, near where the Sheslay River and the Nahlin form the Inklin river, two days before Kirkness and MacSpad- den. They spent part of their time comparing notes on the organ and choir music, which was heard most clearly here.
 But the music was not mentioned to Kirkness and MacSpadden when they arrived in camp. And there was no need. For MacSpadden al- most immediately began teasing Kirkness about strange music Kirk ness claimed to hear as they work ed down the Nahlin. MacSpadden, however, had to admit that he didn't hear well.
 Parker says that they very clear ly heard the song, Abide With Me-" sung by, what sounded like a boys choir," and organ music and bells. It was mostly church mu- sic and choir arrangements they heard, the field men say.
 Weidman theorizes that buried quartz crystals might have been picking up radio waves and broad casting them. Prospectors along the Yukon. have, with hesitation, ad- mitted to hearing similar music.
 Scientists might make a more valid explanation.
 But what about the helping, un- seen hand along the lonely canyon trail?

unseen hands will swear to the strange incident. yet each one was afraid for more than day to mention it to the other.
 And the music went without men, ton for longer than that. Each one was afraid his companions would think he had been in the wilds too long.

POLITICS AND INFLATION

The responsibility for imitation rests
Squarely on President Truman.
The Salisbury, Md, Times, a Democrat
daily newspaper, in an editorial July II pre-
cisely outlined the whole sorry history of
Truman leadership in the vital issue of price
and wage controls, down to the present
debacle:
Mr.. Truman stalled on economic con-
trols after war began in Korea until Con
gress forced them on him last September.
he let Congress make the first move, there
by averting responsibility for starting what
he knew would be headache.
Mr.. Truman then dawdled over admin
lstration of economic controls until after the
election; that was also safe way out of a
predicament. It was late in January before
anything was done. By that time it was too
late for anything"
The editorial points out that last April
when Mr.. Truman demanded new and sitter
controls for the next two years to restore
the status quo, Congress suspected Mr.. Tru-
man was playing politics by asking for more
controls than he expected to get, with the
idea Of blaming his political opposition for
not giving him enough"
1t was not Republicans" says the edi-
torial, "but Democrats who will not support
Harry Truman who are blocking passage of
the kind of law he says he wants" Even his
own party leaders in Congress bOlted.
f"Ihe main political complication, after
all, says the Times, els the fact Mr.. Tru-
man cannot demand even the confidence of
his own party in this matter"

AS TO miscellaneous crops it looks as if sugar
Deets and haxseed would be less but the rice cror
should be larger. Beans, hops, peas tomatoes and
cabbage should yield about the same. The onicl-
freezing process, however, should ultimately helm
peas, beans and tomatoes.
GOOD FRUIT YEAR
Present indications that citrus fruits in Flor
ida will have good season due to plenty. Of rain
The demand for citrus is constantly increasing dine
to the quality and advertising of the concentrated
quick-frozen juices. Recent crop failures in Cali
fornia and Texas should keep down total national
production and hold prices up
The peach crop is estimated at 67,OOO.OOO bushels
compared with 65,5OO,OOO last year; pears S2OOOOOO
compared with Sl,OOO,OOO last year. while about the
same amount Of cherries, apricots and lemons NAV
be expected The apple crop should continue good
about as last year. The hope for both Of these
staple fruits rests with canning the juices
WHAT ABOUT PRICES9
AS to prices wheat now is about 1929 per busbel
same as year ago. corn is SLIT compared with
$l56 year ago; beef sides are 59c per pound
compared with 5Sc year ago; pork is 5Sc com
pared with &c year ago; granulated sugar is
OS8c compared with oslo year ago; coffee is 5sc
compared with SEC year ago; cotton is SSc com

In closing let me say something about the Kansas
City food. / know Kansas City, being part owner
Of forty high-grade drug stores there But note
this fact:-If this flood had happened twenty years
ago It would have done very little damage az the
land had not been built upon. Kansas had experi-
enced long period Of dry years and real estate
promoters said "'Taint going to rain no more. =
Thereupon great building boom developed on this
low land. But they were wrong Moral: Man has
not yet controlled the weather. After long series
of dry crop years. wet years are sure to follow:
and after we have good rains, as has been the case
since 1888, dry years are sure to follow.

WILL YOU FARMERS AGREE
WITH THIS?

Here's one Of those NOW It Can Be
Told stories. Farners-in case they didn't
know it-are making more money this year
than last year. That's a statement of the
Department of Agriculture. The Depart
rnent has announced that during the first six
months Of 1851 the farmers received 20%
more money than in the corresponding per
iOd of 1850. Their expenses meanwhile in
creased By only 1870, leaving, according to
the Department of Agriculture, a net in
crease Of 7% in farm income. We wonder
how many farmers will agree with this state
ment from the Federal agent? Farmers with
whom we have talked do not agree.

Educational Leaders To Discuss
New G.. ]. Bill

Educational Leaders To Discuss
New G. /. Bill
The future of education for G.
rs will probably be outlined in
Washington on July Both when a
committee of the cOuntry's most
outstanding educators will meet
under the auspices of the Amer
lean Council on Education to con-
slider new legislation to replace the
G. l. Education Bill Of July 1914.
With the passing of the dead
line for beginning educational
training July 25th) and with the
end of this colossal experiment in
mass instruction drawing near, ed
ucatOrs all over America ara de-
batting whether 100000 veterans
who went to school at Government
expense got IA billion dollars
worth of learning.
According to Carl r. Gray. Jr..
administrator of Veterans Affairs.
the G. /. Bill has charted a new
course in veterans benefits by re-
moving the emphasis on financial
compensation and putting it on the
far more significant goal of read
1ustment to successful civil life.
He indicated further, that the pro-
gram may pay off in terms of ma
tiOnal defense in providing the
country with 100000 engineers.
100000 teachers, 100000 medical
workers Of various types, $4,000
metal workers and thousands of
skilled workers in almost every
category that we would not
otherwise have.
"The G. I. Bill has proved it's
WORTH" said Mr.. Gray. "By virtue
of it, sincerely believe, this gem
Grafton will be better trained and
better equipped to take over the
affairs of government and BUSH
ness than has any preceding gem
Grafton and that it will add a more
glorious page to our. history"
All of which is no doubt true
providing they haven't been
taught that money grows on trees!
