The country and world in gen eral is well satisfied with Mac Donald. He has# done much for European peace, and most people would probably like to see him carry through the work he has has begun. EASY TO SPEND THE OTHER FELLOW’S MONEY. The National Industrial Confer ence , Board asserts that govern mental expenditures, national, state and local in 1923 were $10, 045,000,000 or 15 per cent of the total national income of that year. 4* This total represents $91 from every man, woman and child in the United States, a sum three and a half times greater than in 1902, and more than 5 times greater than in 1800. An idea of the magnitude of these figures may be gleaned from the fact that the combined disbursements of all governmen tal units, in this country in 1923 was equivalent to 93 per cent of 4he - 4otal amount-paid- 1921 by all manufacturing plants in the coun try covered by the census of manufacturers. NO ONE CAN PLACE A LIMIT Ezra Meeker, who blazed the Oregon Trail in 1852, driving an ok team from the middle west to the Pacific coast, has just completed the return trip by air When ,• he went west there were no stage coaches aiong the route; no railroad penetrating the for ests and deserts. The airplane and the automo bile had only been dreamed of. And perhaps these more modern means of transport would never have been devised and perfected had not such men as Ezra Meek er, pathfinder and pioneer, em ployed to the fullest capacity the thing at hand, emphasized the need of a better method. s Ezra Meeker retraces, in a day or two, the route which requir ed months to cover .70 years ago. Men talk into a simple device and are heard hair way around the world. Sea?^ are crossed and recrossed in comfort and comparative safe ty. And even greater and better things have been accomplished by contemporaneous thoughtful activity. As men have been emancipated from tedious plodding, they have gained a clearer concept of their freedom. The manner of this de liverance has not been accidental or merely evolutionary. Thought, rightly directed, has been the agency. This being true, no one can place a limit beyond which such development and growth shall not go. , The Brooklyn Chamber of Com merce calls attention to the fact that the people of the United States are just now preparing to Waste $18,000,000 through the building of winter fires. This rep resents the annual fall losses by fires due to defective flues, clog ged chimneys and carelessness. pcemsuktiivb AUTUMN I saw an old autumn In the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence. lis tening To silence, for no lonely * bird would c!ng I ■ Into his hollow ear from woods forlorrr, ’ * Shaving his languid locks all dewy bright, With tangled gossamer that fell by night, O ■ Pearling his coronet of golden corn. ^-Thomas Hood. i *171*7 V / FOR CRIME LIES IN TREATMENT OF MENTAL DISORDERS, ** SAYS D ARROW.

One of the pet stories of “Tex »» Rickard, fight promoter, is about a poker game that took place in a mining camp in Alaska. Seven miners got together one night for a game and were snow ed in by a storm that lasted for the ninth day.
