The larg-1 est number was present there} has been for a good while, on Saturday, Sunday morning a *'gar" rr*- '-sr Today arid Tomorrow ItOW ilphg whose WAR oar gold There Is a world war going on that we see nothing much aboi t In the newspapers. It is a war for the possession of gold. Every important industrial nation In fhe world Is In this war, the ones that have plenty of gold trying to keep what they have, and those which are short* of gold trying to get It away from those which have it. It jffects almost everybody in the world, and is the great obstacle in tho way ot the revival of world trade. England began it, first by sell ing silver from its Indian stocks, then by going off the gold stand ard in 1931 and offering higher prices for gold than the world had ever heard ot. Much, if not most, of the world-wide depres sion, including our share of it, is due to England’s efforts to get more gold. We countered by bidding up gold from about $20 an ounce to $35, and so have stopped the British drain on our gold Stocks. France and the group of nations associated with her in the ‘'gold bloc” have so far stood pat. They have more gold than they need, and Eng land's latest move is to try to force gold out of those coun tries by depreciating the pound sterling to the lowest point yet reached. Many of my friends who und erstand such things say that the only hope of world price recovery is v** breaking the French-Neth- erlands-Swiss gold corner and compelling those countries, also, to devaluate their currencies. England. But tho foreigner want ing to buy our goods can buy more dollars with his own gold than he could a year or so ago, and he pays us. In the long run, in dollars. We have been doing pretty well lately, since we nationalized gold and devalued the dollar Our export trade has Increased ^nd we are adding to our na tional stock of gold many mil lions of dollars a week. Now we have more than 8 1-2 billion dol lars of gold, and less than that amount ot currency and bank notes outstanding against it. England Is not In quite such a good position. She has only about half as much gold as she has currency in circulation. That is why she is underbidding all the rest of the world in the markets ot the world, for her export commodities—overbidding them all for gold. France has even more gold in proportion to currency then we have. France still values the franc at the figure to which it was reduced in 1925. Germany, on the contrary, has 4 5 times as much currency Issued as it lias gold coverage. My guess is that the French gold corner will be broken and then we will have another inter national monetary conference which France will not break up, as it did the last one. MONEY . . . international trade The only measure of value in international trade is metal— gold or silver. All money must be, in the long run, based on one or the other or both of tho.se metals. The only way a nation that is short of gold can get more gold is to sell its goods in International trade. By offering a hi.Khcr price for .gold than oth er nations—that is. t>y reducing the value ot its own currency— one nation can gain an advant age over others. A dollar is still a dollar inside the ITiited States, and a pound is still a pound in 1 good attendance a t Sunday school and an inspirational serv ice at the eleven o’clock hour. Again Mr. F'ardue was asked to fill the time by the pastor who was present. DISril’LIXE an a.sset I hear from several sources that the young men who have liad six months or a year in the CCC camps are being given pref erence by employers who have jobs to fill. The reason Is that these boys are, first, necessarily healthy and strong, but princi pally because they have learned what discipline means. Nobody Is very much good in any sort ot a job until he or she has learned how to take orders and follow instructions. Nobody, for that matter, is tit to give orders unless he or she ha.s first learned how to take them. The best bo.ss to work tor is one who has grown up in the business and knows how to do everything he calls on his help to do. The worst worker on any job is the one who thinks he knows better than the boss how to run the shop.

Think of the “great", men history. Nine out, of ten of them live in memory J)ecause of their service to others. ^ That is the bigliest test of character, wheth er a man puts hia own selfish in terests first or those of the so cial order in which he finds him self. Those are some ot my reflec tions after reading the dispatch es reporting that JuStlce Oliver Wendell Holmes "was dying on the eve ot his 94th birthday. Few men of our time have so won the esteem and .respect of the whole nation. And that is be cause few men have given them selves so fully and so ably to the service ot the nation. PROGRESS In America In the course of a fairly long life I have seen many changes, most of them for the better. There is no doubt in my mind that every American is better off in every way than in my boy hood. I get very weary listening to people who assert that under the social system that existed before 1933 the people's con dition was getting worse all the time. 1 know better, and so does everybody who has lived in A- merica long enough to know what it Is all about. Most of the assertions to the contrary come from either the very young or from folk who haven’t had their roots in American soil very long. Also we have a high proportion of Meddlesome Matties and self- glorifying demagogues who don’t care much about facts but like to stir up trouble and get their pictures in the papers. Attend Tobacco Meeting County -Agent A. G.

'• The event took place early this morning, the tooth breaking through the lower front ^ gum and being d'seovered by nurses during the usual, morning inspec tion. It caused more excitement at the Dafoe Hospital, home of the world-famous babies, than th« legal battle being waged over their guardianship. A bili making them "wards of the king’’ and under the care of the welfare department until they are If years old seemed as sured today of passage at To ronto. where it required but one more reading. “The other babies will be fol lowing Annette’s example within a few days,’’ said Dr. Allen Da foe, who had been awaiting the event since th© quintuplets be came six months old. Annette and her sisters will be one year old on May 28. “Their teeth should be along any time now. It is probably that Marie will be a little tardy du© to her comparatively poor start in life, but the others should follow Annette’s exam ple very soon.” Marie, smallest of the five, has shown few signs of teething. The others have swollen gums. Wihen they were measured a month ago, Annette, Yvonne and Cecile each were 26 inches tall, Bmilie trailed them by an inch and Marie was 24 inches. The guardianship measure is opposed by the Infants’ parents, Ovila Dionne and his wife,, French-Canadian farmers. It was [ sponsored by Welfare Minister David Croll, who said its sole purpose ■B'as “to stop the quick talkers and chtselers from their attempts to get control of the children.’’ not as fmks.’’ •.7..“’ V Dionnes hnyo^slx other .-ckfinen,. ■nir*'’’older than'"'the qulntuptots, residing w{t]i them on their ram-shackle farm, St; Loals, March- ti.—Rafli accompanied by bsll,'- snow and sleet rode high winds out of the northwest today-and orerflowifiS swollen strwms In Mhaouri and southern lUinois.
