While, as Secretary Mellon says, the showing of the treasury during the last eight months has been encouraging, there is much to be done in the way of .curtmlmg expenditures in order to meet without-undue difficulty the heavy obligations which will mature in two years or there-| abouts. These obligations approximate $7,500,000,000. ! . One of the evils of the present system of providing funds| for the operation of the government is in the ease with'which deficiency accounts may be created—more money has been spent by a department than had been allotted to it, and congress is asked to authorize payments to cover the deficiency. ! “The nation can not afford extravagance,” Secretary Mel-| lon said, “and so far as possible it must avoid entering new fields' of expenditures. Figures on current operations of the| government show that the country finances are sound, but tl!at\ the situation calls for the utmost economy.” But any economies| which congress may effect will be only partly effective unless the people generally practice thrift, as Secretary Mellon points out. The policy of “living from hand to mouth” is no more prof- itable to the government than it is to the individual, and it is the aim of Secretary. Mellon to place the finances of the govern- ment on a basis that will enable it to meet maturing .nlghgatlons promptly by reducing current expenditures to the minimum. =t gl ABANDONED FARM HOMES Statistics of the 1920 census bear out in a concrete way what has been apparent for a long time—that there is a mark- ed movement from the country to the towns, and that both the rural and the urban districts are seriously affected by it. ’ ~ ~Estimates show that more than 2,000,000 acres of farm lapd have been abandoned in Michigan alone within a few] years, and it is said that the state contains more than 30,000 vacant farm homes. Reports from Ohio are that about 29,000 farm houses are vacant. It is believed that many -other states will show the same proportionate conditions. There are a number of reasons for the abandonment of; farms, not-any of which is probably convincing to persons who believe that farmers should remain in their own sphere. High! wages offered. in industry during the war, difficulty of obtain- ing farm labor and social advantages of the city are outstanding Teasons. - The readjustment of industry will probably mean that many persons who left the farm for unskilled work in the fac- tories will be left out of the industries. Some of them will probably return to the farms. Two serious effects have been produced by the migration from the farms to the towns—housing conditions in the towns and cities have been made decidedly acute, and thousands of farm homes have been abandoned to the elements. The bal- ance of society has been disturbed to an extent that should| cause serious concern. Preachments against leaving the farm will not solve the problem. Farmers feel that they have a right to urban advan- tages if they are willing to pay for them. Until farm life is made more attractive, financially and socially, the rural dis- tricts will be neglected by many persons who feel that they can do better for themselves and their children in the towns. PR WARRING ON SWINDLERS Superintendent William M. Davidson of the Pittsburgh, schools is the originator of a movement to teach pupils how to' foil swindlers who prey on the poor and ignorant, obtaining money for which they give nothing in return.

The third will be a screen | version of Armold Bennett's ‘“The Great Adventure” and the fourth “Jim the Penman,” by Sir Douglas Young. “FLAME OF YOUTH” AT THE REX TODAY AND WEDNESDAY ! ‘What is the secret of the success | of Shirley Mason, the dainty little| motion picture star, who since she| first starred ‘in a Fox production some months ago, has won her way | to the front rank. The answer is to | be found in “Flame of Youth,” her| latest picture—and said to be her | best—which comes to the Rex the- ater today. * ! Advance reports indicate that | “Flame of Youth’ 'is a sweet love| story, filled with human' interest, built on a theme that young and‘old can equally enjoy. That is to say, i | it is typically a Shirley Mason story. || ‘This description could -apply to all| of them, from “Her Elephant Man,” her first great success, to “The Little ‘Wanderer” and ‘“Merely Mary Ann,” in which she added to her laurels. Differing widely in theme, they all have this sweetness and daintiness In common; and it is into such stories that the charming personal- ity of Miss Mason fits most admir- ably. The picture was directed by How- ard M. Mitchell. “ONE HOUR BEFORE DAWN" CORKING MYSTERY AT GRAND H. B. Warner's compelling ability || as a finished actor is displayed to full advantage in “One Hour Before Dawn,” a screen adapation of Mans- fleld Scott’s novel, “‘Behind Red Cur- tains.” ! Yesterday's audience at the Grand ||| mystified || theater was thrilled and during its entire five reels. The ac-~ tion takes ‘place at a house party TALK OF HIGH COST OF MEDICINE “Although I paid only $2.00 for 2 bottles of Mayr's Wonderful Rem- edy, I wouldn’t take $100 for what 2 doses have done for me. My part- ner also has taken a dose with won- derful results. He was threatened with an operation for stomach and bowel trouble and is sure he will be small investment.. Newspapers generally, are prompt to warn the public| against the numerous frauds which are being worked, but Superintendent Davidson believes that this public service could be supplemented effectively by getting the information: to the homes through the school children, and this is particu-| larly true in the case of parents who are not regular readers of| the newspapers. | Any knowledge!that will protect the public against the operations of the many swindlers is well worth disseminating| through the public schools or any other agency that may be| made effective. i i | i i i i i In the 1917, there were sent to the county jails in the state of New ! fork 12,945 people as drunks.
