6/Arthur Brisbane A USEFUL FUND GERMAN INGENUITY BEARS DOWN, STOCKS UP DWIGHT W. MORROW The president’s conference and his announcement concerning a $500,000,000 fund are well received by business and the slock market. The most encouraging part of the program, which must be read between the lines, is to increase the ‘•flexibility” of the federal reserve board, making it possible for that institution to fulfill its function as intended. The plain English of the matter is that the federal reserve can print money, issue it against good security and thus make credit available for those entitled to it. But with federal reserve transactions limited to rediscounting commercial paper, the kind of paper that becomes scarce or disappears in a .depression, the federal reserve automatically ceases to function when it is most urgently needed. It is the duty of the country and the government to. reassure the millions of bank depositors needlessly alarmed as to the safety of th-. ii deposits, and make-il possible for banks to.obtain currency against socalled "frozen assets, that can be ‘ sold only at an outrageous sacrifice in such times as these. The world knows that Germany , has paid .to France lu,tMM>,OOV,(X)OI marks, $2300,000,1X10 >n reparation.-. 1 and many sympathize with pool* Germany. The more don’t know that while Germany was paying $2,suo,ootl,(*W to France, she borrowed $3,750,000,000 from England and the United States, spending the difference in her favor. $1,250,000,000 on magnificent housing projects and many | other improvements. As things stand Germany has been i able U> spend $1,250,000,00U more than she paid to France. Such "defeat* is not so bad. The proud English speaking races, as-it turns out; are not such wonder- ; ful business men as they thought | they were. You have read about short selling ; in Wan Street, by which to meant selling stocks that the seller does Rfot | own in the hope that values will go | down. For such short selling pur- i poses brokers, otherwise respectable lend stock* that their customers have purchased on the “long” side, using their customers’ stocks to, injure them. The Stock exchange made up its mind to do something in a small way. telling brokers they must let the ex change know when they or then customers Sold stocks that they didn’t • own. The result was the sharpest , price recovery in two years. Com-i modifies aa well as stocks went up. j — Sudden death ends the useful life ; df Dwight W. Morrow, a hard-wotk-! Mi. Morrow ruade his ••wr. way f the world and achieved succes- thkt . ■would have more than satisfied many when he became an important part- i net tn the firm of J. P- Morgan & Co, | He relinquished that position, with its great profits, when opportunity presented itself to render service to his country'. He did admirably the work in trusted to him in Mexico, bringing the nations closer together in friendship, acting as a tactful, efficient peacemaker in connection with regrettable religious troubles. He died with a brillant career and great honor Still before him. His untimely death is a national calamity. < r Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Hernx. ii«»n, Jr., aide American flyers tried \md succeeded. Flying the Pacific it. forty-one hours, a non-ston flight w\h only one supply of fuel, the brake men came down at Wenatchee, in It he state of Washington, with a crash and a smile. What they had done had never been done before. : The length of their hop was 4,500 miles and they conquered the wide Pacific. Such an achievement should offset a good deal of pessimistic gloom. Many building up great fortunes in the United States have died too soon because they woi ked too hard. They have little leisure, less happiness. They are envied and criticized when they should be thanked. When they are dead. they have only six feet of earth, and the worms soon take that. Everything else goes to the public. A Vanderbilt, a Hill of a Harriman builds a great railroad system, permanently improving the country. A Rockefeller accumulates money by “patience, perservance and industry” plus extraordinary intelligence, gives hundreds of millions to education, science, warfare against disease, and his son continues the giving, while the father looks on ap provingly. Henry Clay Frick built up the United States Steel business with Andrew Carnegie, built for himself a magnificent palace in Fifth avenue, 'bought beautiful works of art. His widow has died, the palace and all art works now become the property of the people.

AMERICAN LEGION MEETS IN MILFORD Newly elected officers of the Ancil ‘ Geigor post of the American Legion i were installed by Dr. R. E. Snobar- | ger of South Bend, when the post 1 met in Milford Monday evening. j i After the installation Mr. Snobarger, commander of the third dis-i • trict discussed some of the problems I which the Legion is facing.. He said that the Legion received !a lot of*notoriety from the press on i account of 'its stand on prohibition. Today most people have the idea ' I obtained from scare heads in papers i ! that the Legion voted for beer and ' ■ wine, he said. When in fact the reso- 1 | lution only called for the whole pro- i hibilion to be placed before ; the people as the Legion considers prohibition the most discussed question today. He .-A- said that the bonus question was tossed into the American ' Legion several years ago by some : politicians and then left to the legion to- handle alone. The resolution calling for the payment of the bonus in full was squelched by the legion this year before President Hoover -ever reached Detroit, Snobarger said. Some criticism will be aimed at the Legion i for not obtaining the payment of the bonusl but the majority of delegates thought as the president did, that the general good of the country should be considered before that of a few. The Legion did vote to have the interest rates reduced on the bonus already loaned veterans so that it will be the same as the treasury pays on the government loans. The government is paying a little over one per cent for its money while the veterans are paying six per cent. Dr. Snobarger said the government last year made $14,000,000 as interest which was collected from the veterans on their bonus. - o TO FORM CLUB. The Young People’s Republican club is to be formed when those interested meet in the library Friday evening. Judge Royse and Morrison . Rockhill of Warsaw will address the meeting. 0 BRIDGE CLUB MEETS i' Mrs. Harry Grieger entertained . her bridge club at her home last Thursday evening.

CANADIAN MONEY NOT BEING TAKEN I The bank here in Syracuse is - not accepting Canadian money— 1 'ot even at a discount. ; Canadian money is being dis- ; counted in clearing houses at I about of its face value. That it, a Canadian quarter is worth about 20 cents im American money. | Canadian money is often used in exchange in Syracuse as American money is, because of | the number 6f tourists.

THIS IS A FISH STORY-NO FOOLIN’ Convinced that there are sturgeon in the 100-pound class and over lin Lake Wswasee, Roscoe Howard ■ tnd the editor have been fishing. I They put out a line will, baited •hooks on it twice last week,, but t\ isits to the line the followin' 1 mornlings showed the hooks liailnT .aught 1 any fish. So they g t a map of th? lake and chose the deep spot, 70 feet. They | I icated the deep spo’ bv soundin. and ma. kcd .it by corks w ith wci .!» s attached the other end of the line. These were to show the location i lion of The Fish' Line. Then heavy weights were tied to I one end .1 2 feet of line and dropped, and more heavy weights were ■ attached t<> the other end and dropped, the line being put down j where the corks would mark it. There were several large hooks on the 2<X) foot wire, well baited. The fishermen went out Saturday morning with more hooks to fish up the 200 foot wire, and dragged around with their hooks in the vicii nity of those floating corks. But no 'wire could they find. They’ve been out several mornings since and can’t locate any wire with grappling hooks. If anyone's boat gets tripped by a marine monster dashing up and down Lawe Wawasee with 200 feet of wire extending from its mouth, ‘ please let Roscoe and the editor ■ know immediately. They don’t want the fish but they would like to have 1 it bring back that wire. And "Beanie” Howard, who furI nished the iron for the anchors, ali though Fie didn’t know it until yesterday, wants the fish to bring those back, as there is §2.50 worth of lead in each one.
