Complete co operation between county relief or ganizations and the State Highway Commission was urged today in a memorandum sent to all relief dl ^jc^fctors by Dr. Fred W. Morrison, state director of relief. The memo randum called attention to the fact that dwindling revenues from motor vehicles and gasoline t&xes have al ready necessitated the dropping of a considerable number of regular highway employees in certain dis tricts and that in many instances these employees would have to be replaced with relief labor or the roads would Suffer. It was pointed out that the Highway Commission had riot re leased employees except in cases where retrenchment made it ne cessary. Retrenchment by t-he highway department has become necessary an account of Shrinkage in gasoline asd auto license reve nues. and has\ become inevitable regardless of relief. , The memorandum from Dr. Mor rison follows: Revenues for the State HighJKy Commission have n and continuing to drop at re Success Forecasted Toshia Mori, youthful Japanese beauty, is the first noneaueasian movie aspirant ever selected with the group named annually as giving promise of being a screen star during the jre*r. way Commission are derived from two sources: tax on gasoline; tax on motor vehicles. Both sources are failing. As a result the State Highway Commission is being forced to dis continue employment of a large number of men, and thereby is forced to reduce maintenance on highway to a minimum. ApDarently in some relief admin istrations there has developed a j sentiment that the State Highway | Commission is dismissing employees deliberately with the intention of shifting such employees to a relief j basis and thereby securing relief > funds for maintenance of highways.] It can be authoritatively stated that j this is not correct, that on the con- i trary the State Highway Commis sion is pursuing a course of re- j trenchment with the greatest reluc- j tance and only under the compul- i sion of necessity. This retrench ment would be imperative regard less of availability of relief funds. ; Attention of relief administra tions is called to the fact that all phases of highway work are ap- ; proved for the employment of re lief labor. As a matter of fact as j the year advances it is probable i that highway work will be almost the only means remaining for prof itable employment of relief labor. It is urged that the fullest possible cocperation be extended on the part of relief administrations to repre sentatives of the State Highway Commission in carrying forward highway projects. Attention is further railed to t.he ? fact that loans made to North Cat- j olina for emergency relief pur- , poses are to be repaid to the Re construction Finance Corporation at the rate of 20% annually beginning in 1935 from Federal funds appro- j priated to the State for highway , purposes. | Assurances has been given by j the State Highway Commission that on its part every possible aid will be extended in cooperation with relief administrations in the way of sup- j plying equipment, supervision and planning on work ? projects other i than those on highways.

He was 60 years old. Mr. Martin was stricken with a heart attack while visiting the Mere head school December 8, and had been confined rto his home Since. He apparently was on the road to recovery, and intended re turning to his office some time this month. He suffered a relapse short ly after midnight Saturday, and died three hours later.

Paber, city editor of the Vajley Herald, pub I llshed at Chaska, Minnesota, sends me a memorandum of the claim of that thriving little city to the title of "the most prosperous town in America." With 2,000 inhabitants Chaska has a surplus of over $88,000 in the city treasury. Taxes have been cut 30 percent. The people of Chaska have almost $2,500,000 in the two banks, and the town never had a bank failure. There are no natives on the poor list, and the city is providing a good living for nearly ninety business and professional Imen besides their employees. On I top of that Chaska has had new [businesses opening in each year of the depression, and has only five names on the delinquent tax list. I know of no other town the size of Chaska that can make such a showing. Do you? * ? a - ? - ? SAVINGS? hi the banks There is more money in the sav ings banks of the United States than ever before in our national history. In New York State alone savings bank deposits' were more than five thousand million dollars on. the first of January. This money is owned by more than five and one-half pillion depositors. ^ The people of the United States are certainly not "broke" when sav ings deposits increase like that. Polks are putting their money into safe places instead of spending it because they are not quite sure yet what is going to happen in the fu ture, but as soon as conditions seem to be stabilized there will be plenty of funds available for invest ment in promising enterprises. ? ? ? CREDIT? and an idea Taking the country as a whole, the banks are full of money, but it is harder than ever fQr the av erage person to borrow money from the banks. The reason for this is j very clear. Fewer people than ever) before are in a position to give a banker reasonable assurance that ! they will be able to pay a loan when it is due. It is not shortage of money that is keeping us poor; "it is shortage of credit. The few who "Havfe" good "credit can borrow money cheaper than ever before. I dont know how it would work, but it seems to me there is some merit in the suggestion that if the banks would lend everybody enough to pay their debts money would be gin to circulate so fast that busi ness would immediately pick up and everybody's credit would be as good j as it ever was. That idea is certain- | ly not any more foolish than a good | many of the inflationary proposals that have been offered in Congress.' ? ? ? RABBITS ? they multiply Two adjoining Long Island towns voted a couple of years ago to per mit no shooting and to suppress cats, in order to provide a bird refuge. But the townspeople forgot all about rabbits. . Now Centre Island and Mill Neck are so full of rabbits that it is al most impossible to drive' over the roads without running over a few cottontails.

A penny sold at an auction in New York the other day for six ty dollars. It was a copper cent dated 1799. Among the other rare coirw sold at the same time were some copper "hard times" tokens issued from private mints between 1834 and 1841. One of them dated 1837, brought $22.90. Coins are not valuable merely because they are old; it is rarity that makes collectors bid for them. They silver dollar of 1804 is so rare that only four or five are known to be in existence, and anyont finding one of those coins can almost name his own price for it. Most of the silver dollars coined that year were sent to Europe for the payment of certain obligations and the ship was lost at sea. Last year the United States Mint made more coins than in the pre vious two years; there were more than twenty million of them, worth $68,000,000. One reason for the in creased coinage was the large offer ings of gold Jewelry and ornaments, which the mint is1 obliged to pur chase and give gold coins in ex change for. BARTER ? IN, PRACTICE AGAIN All over the country people are learning how to live without money. That is the way our primitive an cestors lived, by barter. It is, of course, the direct and. simplest way of doing business, but its handicap is that it does not provide any way of storing up values or of making change. If every man who had services or goods to sell could always find someone who would make an even trade with him, giving such goods or labor as he required in exchange for his own, we never would need any money. But it is difficult for the man who wants to dispose of a day's work for a pair of boots to find the precise person who wants that work at that time, or who is wUling to swap groceries for boots. Time? that is labor? is a perishable commodity. If it isn't used now it never can be used. The value of money consists in its power to en able the worker who can dispose of his labor for cash to store up that Get Rid of THat SORE THROAT! Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant ' relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle >nd you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. Thape's usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two-tablets ty throw off your cold, headache, stiffness, or other cold symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it freely, it does tot hurt the heart. /Tv MO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAY^R ASPIRIN WITHOUT THIS CROSS k >v day's work against the time when he needs to sjfend it for other com modities. To get * around this difficulty community after community has adopted one form or another of temporary money called "scrip." We have read of a dozen or so differ ent kinds of scrip, but they all work on the same principle. The man who does a day's work receives what is, in effect, a promissory note, which the giver agrees to redeem in such commodities as he deals in, no matter who presents it. If fenough merchants and manufac turers can be brought together in a scrip plan of this kind the scrip is just as good money as if it were issued by the government, so far as" local use in concerned. We understand' there i& a move ment on foot to nationalise this scrip-barter plan. We don't see any reason why it shouldn't work, pro vided that all the scrip issued was based on actual valuer, in services performed or commodities delivered. The mam trouble would be in de termining the value behind each unit of scrip. The early Virginia colonsts used paper money based on tobacco, but they found a good many planters working off inferior grades of tobacco, and they had plenty of I trouble with their currency for a good many years. As a temporary relief measure, however, the ^crip-barter plan seems to us to have decided merit. ? Auto caster.
