A 36-square mile rand township should have within its borders. 1,000 families if it is going to have the laager community life which rural conditions at their best provide. Common sense mid a little foresight applied to. community planning in rural areas can make them many times as profitable and. attractive to live in as they are now. These are the twin gospels of socif dogistb who have devoted yean to a study of the circumstances of rural life.. And they can cite, you example after example of what community ac tion can do when it is in earnest a bout making an attractive town. The merit of community better ment, however, is not the 36-mile square township of the average state. Rather, it is the village which can function effectively for social purpos es. General propositions with regard to this work are easily stated. Villages ought to be easily reached and their - approaches direct, dura We and enjoy able. Housing conditions should be sanitary, convenient and economical. ? Public buildings should be built with a view to their relationships to each I other and the needs of the community, both from a viewpoint of doing busi ness and of attractiveness. Points of historic interest should be preserved and restored. Dump heaps and con gested places should give way to open spaces, and recreation spots in abun dance should be easily accessible. Above all, a community plan should be adopted, a plan which the major ity wants and will help to make ef fective, and one sufficiently flexible tto allow for growth and change. One instance of community im provement is Wamego, Rans., a "farmers town" where big summer picnics and Chautauqua courses at tract hundreds of people from a large territory. Although Wamego has s splendid modern hospital financed by local contributors, its pride is the city park. ? ?? ? ?? m - haa/ Since lWl tins nrae crcy or i,/w persons has spent $2,500 for a 4%j. acre lake, 4H foot deep; $225 for a; children's wading pool; $2,900 for an electric fountain with tbrefehaaina of stone gathered from nearby MUb; 400 for a women's rest house and about the same for one for men; $950i for a circular band stand; $400 for playground equipment; $125 for three drinking fountains; $150 for three stone dining tables; $100 for two stone ranges; $125 for mounting a granrt glacial stone hauled in from nearby; and varying amounts for a dancing platform, athletic fields, camping grounds, benches and walks.). The average annual maintenance cost is only $1,500 a year. Over a period of 25 or 30 years such expenditures impose no gr^at strata many indirect ways the resulting park returns direct financial benefit which: wfil perhaps equal the expenditures. Even more striking in some waysj is Fairy Dell Highway Park i?

Economists lAh# E3ctonswM| m ? .

'? Concerning demand for Southern agrtenltunil products, the7 confer^ ence" adopted a- committee report which said the domestic demand would likely improve next year, and be better toward the close of the year than at the beginning. An improvement during 1931 in foreign economic conditions and in the foreign demand ftyr 3ottthera| products also was forecast by the economists. -Reached Bottom The conference based its predic tions on the fact that 'industrial ac tivity already has fallen about -as low a^ in fcfrmer major depressions, and the period of decline- has . ap proximately the same duration as in other majr deopressinso." As to the commodity price decline the report said "the low levels of raw material prices may be expected to stimulate activity among consum ers of those raw materials." The reduction in agricultural in comes has increased the demand of farmers for credit, the credit com mittee's report said. - The serious curtailment in the 1930 income received by most South-" em farmers will prevent many from repaying advances obtained during* 1930," the report stated. "The supply of production credit from country banks and merchants will show the greatest reduction in those states seriously affected by the brought, principally Alabama, Ar kansas. Louisiana. Mississippi, and Oklahoma. A relatively ... more .fa vorable situation is indicated for most jn Horth Carolina, South Caro Tobacco Lower The economists said that' from present indications, "the average price paid for Hue-cured tobacco next year is likely to be lower than paid if w this -year. The basis for this conclusion, the conference said, lies in the prospect that stocks on Jnly 1, 1931, will be materially larger than these of July 1, 1930, "and . , . that, the trade and industrial depression of "the. past months has definitely slowed up the consumption of dgarreties." "Market conditions . . . lead to the conclusion thiii there wiH be an in crease in the acreage of fine-cured tobacco in North Carolina, not much change in Sooth Carolina, and that this increase may be sufficient to more than offset any probable de crease in acreage in Virginia, Geor gia and Florida, where returns to growers have been least satisfac tory," the report said. The outlook conference will con tinue in session through Friday, and tomorrow will discuss cotton. The conference will not issue any cotton "forecasts, this being prohibited by law. < I TURKEY DINNER OCTOBER 20TH.

Chicago, Nov. 18;?Dr. Edward Ly man Cornell suggested to the law student* of Northwestern University today that young lawyers would be better off generally" If they mairried their secretaries . . His remark let him in for a lot; of explaining after his lecture on "Mar-, riage From a'Medical Standpoint," for the benefit of the budding attorneys. "A lawyers wife really becomes her husband's secretary in spite of herself/' said Dr. Cornell, who is a professor in the medical school of the university. "She can't help it Clients always j are telephoning a lawyer's home, Soon his wife finds that Rhe is in constant contact with her hus band'! business. "And a yoqpg lawyer usually hires a secretory.before he finds a bride. So I svggest that he choose his sec retory oarefolly and then marry her." All that Dr. Cornell told the United Press after the lecture while the em-, bryoniealwyers still were milling a-' round discussing the ten points which he suggested each should loch for in in prospective wives^ The ten points follow for the guidance of other young lawyers over the land: cant nm lOO yprds in: 18 second#: Any faster may not be desttable on 2?Jealousy;. A professional man cannot afford a jealous secretary or wife. 3?Thrift: Most lawyers are penni less at the beginning and cannot-af ford extravagant wives. 4?Education: A college degree is. indicated. 5?Social training: Tact, good taste in dress and home , management and the ability to entertain an very es sential ?v"-:?4?i0;.? ^, ; ? 6?Business training: This is most essential as most professional men are poor bookkeepers^ 7?Children: She should^. be willing tobe a mother to childreias other-' wise the country will suffer through | depletion of its best types. 8?Home secretory: She should be i willing and capable of acting as7 home secretary as the demands of the pub He on a professional main's-wife are many and exacting. 9?Freedom to work: She should be willing to allof her husband to afc tend meetings and'conferences at any time, 10?Beapty: She should have a good appearance and be smart enough to maintain her good looks. " Ihr. .Cornell said; his placed "good looks7' last because is wasi,tim. least important requisite of a lawyer's wife. Unfortunately, he iottttaoed, most people including lawyers, place beauty first*,in picking their brides. : "Marriage fa entered into by many of qs with too little: fjtouhe con cluded: "Instinct ia;noifc t^^eatvg^ in choosing a wife.

' , Washington, Nov,^ l^Secretary o?r State Stimson has advised Senator Ovarii* that Germany's Ihierfase in the custoirs duty on tobacco was not an attempt to discriminate against this Tmntry, but was a step to obtain revenue. Senator Overman had lodged a pro-; test with the. State Department onj the action of the German government in raising the duty on tojpcco. The Secretary of State wrote Sen ator Overman as follow^: '"In connection with the proposed increase ,in 'thte German custom duty on Jeaf tobacco^ I wish to advise you that' the . department has received a telegram from the American ambas sador at Berlin in which he reports that he had discussed the matte? in formally with the German minister of foreign affairs. The minister for foreign affairs told the ambassador that sudr an increase has been de cided upon by the German cabinet iind that it went hand in hand with an increase of the tax on tobacco whieh the CluuioeUpr had already specified in his financial reform measure. The increase of tax and duty has been de cided upon as a fiscal 'measure -and was not designed to prohibit the im port of foreign tobacco which, the minister told the ambassador, would only result in increased unemploy ment in German tobacco factories. % "There would appear to be no ele ment of discrimination against Amer ican interests .in the proposed ^duty and in the absence of such discrimi nation you will, of course, realize that there Is no basis for objection by this 5 ?

"During the summer months," stat ed Dr. Bulla, "everybodr lives in the open?the office force, the factory worker, the institutional population, the young and the old alike. The days are-long and warm and the windows and doors in homes, factories, offices and institutions are thrown wide op en day and night, making adequate ventilation possible at all times. Peo ple wear clothing of lighter weight and color, and they play in the open. : Such outdoor living with the sun's medicinal rays, for many hours during the day, beaming into htunan beings as well as other kinds of animals and vegetable life makes growth more perfect, life more vigirous, decay less rapid, and death more remote. We don't, I fear, fully appreciate such a season of the year and the advaittages it offers to .the health and happiness of people. "As winter approaches with its shorter and cooler days, the doors axe closed, the windows pulled down (and too often remain down), and we live in: oh* kind of atmosphere when in homes, factories, and: institutions, and in another kind when* we are out in the open.
