rnam^mmm?a??? , , .?___ PROSPERITY at Chaska, Minn. My friend, James F. Faber, city editor of the Valley Herald, pub lished at Chaska, Minnesota, sends me a memorandum of the claim of that thriving little city to the title of "the most prosperous town m America." With 2,000 inhabitants Chaska has a surplus of over $88,000 in the city * ^? l>?m Wn /?nfc SO | troabury ? IOACS , . percent The. people of Chaska have | almost $2,500,000 in the two banks, and the town never had a bank fail ure. There are no natives on the poor list and the city is providing' a good living for nearly ninety busi ness and professional men besides their employees. On top of that Chaska^ has had new businesses opening in each year of the depres sion, 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? SAVING*? in 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 TViio mnnpv is owned by more than five and one-half million depositors. The people of the United States are certainly not "broke" when sav ings deposits increase like that. Folks 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 future. Just 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 j is harder than ever for the average person to borrow money from the banks. The reason for this is very | clear. Fewer people than ever be fore are in a positi on to give a banker reasonable assurance that j 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 have good credit can borrow money cheaper than ever before. I don't 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 as it ever was. That idea is certainly not any more foolish than a good many of the inflationary proposals that have been offered in Congress. RABBITS _ they multiply j Two adjoining Long Island towns voted a couple of years ago to permit r no shooting and to supress cats, in order to provide a bird refuge. But the townspeople forgot all about, i rabbits. 1 Now Centre Island and Mill Neck are so full of rabbits that it is al most impossible to drive over the j roads without running over a few i cottontails. Farmers and gardeners i are wondering what they are going to do to protect their lettuce, spinach and other garden crops in the spring. 1 They are trying to get the local game i ordinance amended to permit them i to shoot the rabbits. ] I What has happened in these Long Island towns is what happens when ever man interferes to upset the j balance of nature. j ?? j COINS ? some valuable Rare old .coins still bring high prices. A' penny sold at an auction ' in New York the other day for ; sixty dollars. It was a copper cent i dated 1799. < Among the other rare coins sold at the same time were some copper "hard times" tokens issued from pri- 1 vate mints between 1834 and 1841. One of them dated 1837, brought $22.50. i Coins are not valuable merely be- j cause they are old; it is rarity that makes collectors bid for them. The silver dollar of 1804 is so rare that ] only four or five are known to be in existence, and anyone 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. i Last year the United States Mint 1 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, , -1-1 ?nnt?_ WHICH me Iliuit is uungatcu w pin-. chase and give gold coins in ex change for.

J I i ? 111 ' , I lUUS'OMt This very old ifluiion was invented by Indian fakirs. The secret was unearthed in 184-9 by the great magician, Robert-Houdin. At that time, ether had just been discovered, and little was known about it Houdin claimed that he had discovered that this new anesthetic could make^people light as air. To prove it, he caused the subject to rise into the air and float apparently suspended. He passed a hoop around the body to show there were no wires or supports. CXPLAN ATION t There are many, manv explanations for this old trick. One is that the girl wears a' concealed harness, which ends in a socket between her shoulder blades. This is attached to a piston below die stage. The .piston is pushed up from below, causing her to rise in the air. The piston is invisible, because it is covered with mirrors which reflect surrounding draperies, similar to the background. The magi cian can pass the hoop over her' body because it is cut in one place. It can be pulled apart for a second when it passes die piston. Souitcx: "Modern Magic" by Profttsor Hoffmann. George Routkdge & Sow. - ^ It's fun to be fooled ...it's more fun to KNOW Another "magic show" is cigarette adver tising. One of its greatest tricks is the illusion that cigarettes can be made miraculously "MILD" through manufacturing methods. ths ixplanation' All popular cigarettes today are made in modern sanitary factories with up-to-date machinery. All are heat treated-somc more intensively than others, because raw,, inferior tobaccos require more intensive treatment man cnoice, ripe tobaccos. . The real difference comes in the tobaccos that are used. The better the tobacco, the milder it is. It is a fact, wall known by loaf tobacco exports, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any'other popular brand. This is why Camels are so mild. This is why Camels have given more pleasure to more people than any other cigarejte ever made. It's the secret of Camels' rich "bouquet" ...their cool flavor...their non-irritating mildness. All the natural, ripe goodness of Camel's tobacco is kep X fresh for you by*the famous air-tight, welded Humidor Pack. Don't remove it. ? ? ' ? . \ * ' B*M?LS
