(By Frank Parker V-ockbriJge)
FARMING . . Mr Hutort W/c
Alter listening with a great d?*.
irf disgust toall the laik about farji
i-;w having no oboace these days. I
xperienoed somewhat of ,% tnill t,
sxad about David Hunter of I<avj,
.ho has rua ^88 up i Ufo $30,W*
u 20 years of farming.
Mr. Hunter is now 4o yea is old
md he celebrated bis'bia&hday t,
jurning up mortgages for ue irly
.'26,000, the money be had bwiiwud
i> buy aad equip the 160-fecrc far >u
*Ie also renta a 360-acre farm aud
nys thwit he haa made motu-y every
..oar but one emce 1016, when he
'.wrtcd lorming.
This, to me, is jus*, another jvide?:c?
ihat a good farmer car. make a gooi
living on good land, anywhere, any
time.
MQVING . ... .to fertile sc.i
I have just sold my old, reeky
'tillside farm in Berkshire 'Jouiay
Alassacbusotts and am moving to h
;ivore fertile and prosperous agricu1
tairal region, in Buck, County. Pe.ir.
sylvania. \ '
After spending a largo part of mv
Glimmer looking ov^r this region
w hero generations oi Quaker* i.uu
?'Pennsylvania Dulich" have i.vade
themselves rich from faraunj aad
their descendants Are still nuking
;^ood money from the sodl^ I am lv.t
nirpriaod thajt so many generations of
New England youth have loft its
cocky hill* to go into farming ia the
inoro fertile regiqna lying between
:ho Hudson River and the .'Jim:*
plains. ,
There are still good farms and .jood
fannere in New England, but moi? u?
hem hava a tough time of it. All
Mow England w becoming a soit of a
National playground. Like Fru iee,
>*ew England relies upon the touris;
nato for an increasing part of ivs in
jomc. Iti will Always be to ine the
nost beautiful part of the world.
PROXIMITY .... & lacti?
My main reason foir moving, beyond
he l'.act tjiat I got more for my New
England property than it was wo:th,
s that I have to be iu close 1 itch,
vith New York, and Petuwyivi.ur. s
om than half as far away as Mas?e
?husdtts. Few people realize b \7 nni
ow tjho State of New Jersey i?. Jt j
s only 60 miles from the Hudoi i?j
he Delaware aud both railway .uid
lighway 'travel is mueh faster east
md west from New York than north
ward.
Another thing I like about * Penn
sylvania is fchalh -there is no ata'.e iw
ome t.ix and property taxes ar? Mw
lowest I have board of anywhere.
New Yorkers are just beginntJ^ to
liseover thai Northwestern Pennsyl
vania is more accessible than Western
"kxiuieoticirt or even Northern. We*t
Jicster County, and real estate prices
aavo begun to soar.
ELECTRICITY ... low r?t?a
Another itfcing I like about. Pen?}:
vania is that the rate for electric ctu
rcnitl is lofwer than mything I know
f in the East.
I ,ain going to try heating my en
ire supply of dome*tie !hdti wa<s? by
lectrieity using a scheme called the
'off peak" rate. Tlio electric com
1 ,ajny installs an 80-gallon bot wate:
lMnk with an electric hcuting
md charges me one cent a kilwfc*
our for curront, except betwecu the
lours of 4 to 10 p. m.when Itlhey b*ve
i demand for all the current tha> C n
?roduce. ')
I am told that 'this >s Ijbe cheapest
lectric current rate anywhere ia
America, and that I can get hot vater
Cor all liousfthold purposes cheaper
than by coal,, gas or oil- Anywjy, I
im going Itb try it end. will repnr'.
wogresfl. It if can be done in one
ilaoe, I donKl see - why iH can't b,
lone everyVhere.
SPEED . . . . ?ou?d th? world
Nearly 60 years ago Juku V?Sie,
the French romantic niovelist, wrote
a book called "Around tfce World m
W Days." It wa.=npuresu
* Forty-five yeaw ago
newspaper woowi who hrrtlte
the name of Nellie Bly* set ort, V>
beat thalfc time. She got aroan-l .he

W/whington, October 7?The mjf
important aewg which has occurred n
Washington for maiiy months- ?[ i
My l&e jBt?t iuipnr?r# news >ir. ?
the beginning of the depression?%
the unexpected aunom cement <hat
-igToemcojJiJ haul he*.? reached by
I nitod Staleti, Eugland and Pi
for the stabilisation of the currei
of the world's three greatest den*
r.wies, on a basi* of :t polity of v..i
This was (the culmiuatiia of effort!
which wora bcijun m 1038 and v.L*j
took form in the summer of 1933 &
the World Economic Conference he
in London. That conference failed i\
accomplish anything when the IJ'ut \
States withdrew its delegates becni
of Fiance's stubborn insistence i ha
v.ould noil) eoojvrate ia any mov.>jo' i4
which would reduce the gold trn? n cf
the franc.
SAice then t'he political situation
in France has clunged and tiha: na
tion's slteady loss of world tradcue
jo the Frettich Government's mainte
nance of the franc lit a higher j. ro
portion value than the pound st.-rii^g
ind thci dollar, has fhr.illy impr.'SMod
upon lihe French people the import
inee of equalizing international ,'\
?bulge. So when France finally if: ?j?.
| 'ie proposal io uevalue lithe fmc oy
j about 30 per cent, provided Engiand
and America would cooperite sr. v>
Lkjuig to maintain it<j gold vatn.? on
Ohe new basis, both o( the other
'? '.-cvis were willing to agree.
A>: h?d brea espectcd, Holland, !'e*
ninn and Switzerland followed the
i '
1 example of Frniice, so ihalli now, ex
cept for German^ Italy and Poland,
all of the impo'&nt European ??ur
re nodes have been plated on an equal
'yisu witjh the currencies of liwiiv
Hrkain and America.
It*Uy is expected to see the Iqrf t
before long. Germany's financial pfh
iitkxn is such thai it may be difficult
for the Hitler Government to fall ife>
to line. Bat the reealti j?taidfrei
ait, which followed weeks of interna*
tional discussions over the tra/c At
lantic telephone and through diplo
matic channels, are regarded hero as
promisifig to bring abocfb a i*5?
ion * if iutcr:?r ti- ual trade -m a
scale which will, be of immcsiwWi
benefit INo /ill of the Latians concern
ed. Particularly it is expected to ?tim
uL-ite our own export maifeet.
The Russian Government is not. a
party to tho agreement and its .posi
tion is as yett uncertain. Immedirfly
After the ann'>unccmnt had letn
made -tihat France was about to de
value (the franc and thlat an mder
standing had r^ewi arrived at, ihe
Russian, Government oflFered ia million
pounds sterling of British exe*UMgfc
for pale in New York alt any prico L
would bring. This was immediately re
i ported to the Treasuiy by the Cha-^e
?National Baink, and the Treasury no
tified the bank that it woujkl take up
.ffche ofilering it the currciit marked
CvalWc of $4.9V to the pound, out
', ti? exchange stabilization fund of
>J;00^000,0?0.
This move by the Russian Govern
' mouL was interpreted at (ust iis ar.
offoit t0 depress the pound and in?
pbir lhs workings of the new agre
ucCf.it between France, England, *4id
? Airaricc. before it l?ad gcit liairly s*r.rt

^"Mopcviw, which clninis that jt was
srely a necessary move to r^di/2
ids with which to meet <obli^ uions
louring in Ijondon.
vThe whole situation is pointo 1 'o
W fldditioi-ial evidence of t lie elose
with which the affairs of every
laaiaUi arc tii<>d to those of ev- -y
other nation, and the consequent i;n
"portince of main'aiuing friend'y re
lations and putting no unnecessary
obstacle iu the way of the exelwj^e
of oommoditijis with each ot'?cr, it
any nation,no matter how peaceful its
desire, is to avoid King entangled in
ft war.
There is Litt'le doubt felt here iliat
this new international agreement l.ns
staved off the imminence of war in

Under the new arrangement *bc
value of the franc expressed in our
