... Heading West!
I with Um> intent of returning by the
i Panama Canal, President Roosevelt ■
I is on Ms swing across the country to
9 San Diego, Calif., via Bt. Louis, ■
I Omaha, Cheyenne, Boulder Dam, H
■ Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. ■
I After viewing the Pacific Exposition I
H at San Diego and delivering the

— , ■ it, / _
by the same ideal, that of remaking
the social and economic order so
that life will be easier, or at least
more bearable, for everybody.
I am certain, however, that not
all of the methods by which nations
are striving to reach that goal can
be right. Leaving personal and
party ambitions, jealousies and
hatreds out of the question, some
of the plans must be wrong.
My feeling is that every plan to
make the world over will fail un
less and until it is approached as a
spiritual problem. Politics cannot
instil the spirit of fair play and tol
erance; still lessvcan war make for
brotherly love. But social justice
and economic security will be idle
words, signifying nothing, until
those sporitual ideals rule the world.
MONEY changes
Money and customs concerning
money are constantly changing. I
don't know how many local names
there are for the sum represented
by 12V2 cents. In my boyhood it
used to be called a "York Shilling,"
and not many years ago I still heard
rural residents of New York calcu
lating in terms of shillings—eight
to the dollar. Our "New England
Shilling," on the other hand, was a
sixth of a dollar—lß 2-3 cents.
In the South, as far north as Vir
ginia, I used to hear 12% cents
called a "Levy." I do not 1 know
whether the term is still in use or
not. But I hear western friends re
fer to a quarter as "two bits."
I can remember when no actual
coin smaller than a five-cent piece
circulated on the Pacific- Coast or
in the Deep South. Newspapers all
sold for a nickel, and all the store
prices were in multiples of five
cents. A San Francisco merchant
nearly caused a riot by bringing in
a few tons of pennies and marking
goods in odd-cent prices.
COINS ..:.... proposed
The Treasury is proposing! to
issue new kinds of money. Half
cent pieces, of copper, and one mill
—a tenth of a cent—coins of alumi
num, may soon come into use. The
need for these coins arises from the
sales taxes in many states.
The suggestion of the new coins
takes me back to boyhood, when
many coins were common which
have long since vanished. The big
copper half-cents were often seen,
but commoner was the two-cent
piece, made of bronze and some
what larger than the one-cent
piece. Then we had two kinds of
three-cent pieces, one of nickel,
about the size of a dime, and one
very much smaller, made of silver.
Silver five-cent pieces were in com
mon use in the 1870's. We also
used to see twenty-cent silver coins,
about the size of a nickel.
It seems to me that the one new
coin that is most needed is a 2V a
cent piece. It. would find a variety
of uses, especially in buying items
now sold "two for a quarter."
FORESTRY ..... np our way
Early the other morning I heard
the sound of woodsmen's axes, fol
lowed by the crashing of a falling
tree. In the clear mountain air the
sounds carried for a long distance.
What I heard was an echo, reflected
from the steep side of Stockbridge
Mountaih. The choppers were at
work two miles away, In one of
Noble Turner's pine lots, on the
slope of Tom Ball Mountain.
Next morning I heard the stri
dent song of a buzz-saw. Will See
ley had set up his portable sawmill
and was slicing the pines into
boards almost as fast as the axe
men could cut them down.
Noble Turner tells me t&at the
most profitable of all crops is
trees. He owns several thousand
acres of mountain pines, and gets a
comfortable income with little lubor.
I don't own any pine land. I wish
I did! >
MULES ...... war steeds
The preparations for war in East
TOT ELKiy TMBUNB. ELKBf. NORTH CAROLINA
Africa have sent up the price of
American mules!
Even in these days of mechanized
transport, you can't get men, guns
and supplies across African deserts
and mountains without the aid oi
the mule. So Mussolini, I learn
from a friend who has' been busy
buying up Missouri's most famous
livsetock product, is collecting mules
from all over the world.
I remember in the last important
African war, between the British
and the Boers, another friend' who
made a comfortable fortune by
sending several shiploads of Mis
souri mules to South Africa and
selling them to the British army.
War anywheTe in the world affects
all the rest of the world.
What father would like most to
gst out of his new car is the- rest of
