PAUL ROAD RECEIVERSHIP Financiers do not view with alarm the receivership of the St. Paul railroad. It had been anticipated for some time so the news when announced did not cause as great a stir in financial circles as would have been the case had not this eventuality been fairly well known in Wall Street. . From a very prosperous property in 1912 to receivership in 1925 is a transition which reflects a chain of circum- stances over which the management of the road or its stock- holders had little or no control. In 1913 .when the great expansion was undertaken, few realized that within a year war would upset the best calculations. Miles of new road were built and a great development was undertaken. The country through which the road pushed its new lines failed to make the strides anticipated. Capital did not fol- low the railroad in the development of the new territory opened to commerce. Interest on bonded indebtedness in- creased and income decreased. The problem of financing the new extensions became so difficult that to satisfy the bondholders and protect their interests ‘the receivership came as an inevitable sequence. Other great transcontinental systems have faced the same situation. It is reported that the road is in an excel- lent physical condition and that with a general revival of business can in time extricate itself from the present predi- cament. Competition with the Panama Canal is given as another reason of decreased earnings and inability to meet interest and principal upon a heavy bonded indebtedness. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. TURNS THE CORNER “Business” the organ of the Burroughs Adding Machine company has a piece of constructive publicity in this month’s issue entitled “The Northwest Turns The Corner.” This interesting little magazine circulates among 160,000 busi- ness men and its message therefor reaches the right spot. Clayton B. Trost is author of the resume of business con- ditions over the Northwest. He gives credit for improved conditions to the farmer or the man: “who has quit gambling and turned business man.” Increase in the corn acreage impresses the writer of the article for he writes: “In North Dakota it will be noticed the acreage in rye decreased but at the same time there was a big increase for corn. The one crop farmer is losing out. The average farm- er realizes, now, the advantage of cutting down his acreage in wheat and planting, a part of his land in corn, in pota- toes, in cereal crops such as oats, rye, barley and flax.” Advances in dairying are stressed in the article but the writer notes that it is not an-exclusive enterprise and he notes as an aside: “perhaps it’s just as well” and suggests that in the wheat belt the movement into dairying on a large scale should come gradually and with a fair degree of safety. FLUCTUATIONS IN WHEAT Federal investigation into the reasons for the sudden rise and fall in the price of wheat may disclose some inter- esting data on the forces which send this commodity sky- rocketing one day and the next forces it to rock bottom. In’ four weeks wheat rose from $1.72 to $2.05% and in two weeks it fell from $2.02 to $1.51. This establishes a new record in the “ups and downs” of wheat, except in the ex- treme case of a “corner.” The Department of Agriculture experts are unable to explain the market phenomena. It may be that the specu- lators have through their operations produced the artificial price. NEW STANDARDS For centuries the human race has paid homage to Venus and Adonis as the embodinfent of female and male physical perfection. Now they have their critics. In plain, twentieth century slang, “they’re out.” Americans of the future, says Dr. Harry L. Rockwood, Cleveland’s health commissioner, will be “taller, thinner and healthier.” 4 Venus de Milo and Old Man Adonis, says he, are “too fat.” Three reasons for the development of a new race, as Dr. Rockwood sees it: Fashion, diet and exercise. “Growing popularity of sports,” he declares, “is having its effect on the manly figure.” ; FAIR Forty-eight members of the Ohio House of Represent- atives face the prospective of being fined $10 each for ab- sence. Members who are absent without leave, it seems, are subject to a $10 fine for each day’s non-attendance. Which seems to be a fair ruling. When running for of- fice, these same state legislators promised to he faithful servants of the people and to be on the job all the time. If they have reasonable excuse for their absence, well and good. If not, the fines should hold. It’s only fair to be pen- alized for. failure to do one’s duty. Sp ‘i ‘may be here officially, but it is just as well to the c coal bin well stocked and hang onto the “heavies.” Every auto speeder should have his picture made ‘so the paper can use it when he is injured in a crash.

TO HIM THAT HATH (Editorial from Daily Bulletin, Bloomington, 111.) One of the most notable financial products of the age is William Wrigley, Jr., founder of the $90, 000,000 chewing gum corporation. Only a few years ago he was making and packing his own ship- ment boxes. At least this is the testimony of his old friena, Paul F. Beich, Chicago and Blooming- ton candy manufacturer. He knew him in a little back shop in Chicago. Wrigley thrived because he was keen to the essentials of success, qualtiy of wares and advertising shares. Early in hig career he packaged Broadway, New York, at a cost of thousands of dollars. Crazy it was thought. straightway ‘he had chewing his gum and remembering the label. He then took to the newspapers, and his climb since has been phe- nomenal. His son, P. K. Wrigley, has du- plicated ‘hia father’s genius in Australia. The Wrigleys not sat- isfied with the broad scope of Amreica have early busied them- selves in other worlds to con- quer. Wrigley has made gum chewing respectable. The practice is no longer rated with such personal duties as nail manicuring or the use of the tooth pick, and relegat- ed to the privacy of one’s room. Tho chewing of gum has come to be a necessity recommended by ph slang and approved by biol- ogists. It is now held that the chewing of gum releases juices useful in di- gestion and conducive to better health. Not ony that, but scientists claim that latter day civilization tends to disfigure the facial profile and give us the rabbit chin instead of the square contour to which tradi- tion gives such praise for charac- ter and determination Gum gymnastics is the antidote. THE DARK AGE But (The New Republic) The New York division of the labor defense council has been in- vestigating prisoners throughout; the world, and estimates that in Europe and Asia not less than 250,000 persons are now incarcer- ated ‘because of their beliefs. The figures listed include 8,000 in Germany, 3,000 in Italy, 4,000 in Poland, 1,500 in Roumania, 1,700 in Esthonia, 2,000 in Spain, 25,099} in India, 5,000 in Java and many’ more in. Japan, China, Korea, Hun-; gary, Jugoslavia, Greece, Finland, Lithuania, Belgium, France and Portugal. While we cannot vouch for these figures, it is undoubtedly true that a situation exists which no one would have dreamed was possible before 1914. While the labor defense council does not mention them, a very large number of persons are suf- fering what are reported to be par- ticularly serious hardships in the prisons of Russia. Efforts are now under way in New York and Lon- don to bring the plights of the lat- ter group to the attention of the world and provide some ameliora- tion through contributions of clothing, medical supplies and books. With these efforts we have the heartiest sympathy. It is probably asking too much of human nature to expect that in time of “war or acute internal strife the party will refrain from shutting its opponents up. But no- where in the world, so far as we can learn, do such conditions exist today. Whether the number of po- litical prisoners is 250,000, or a tenth as many, justice and respect for the opinions of decent mankin«! | demand their liberation.

It’s the best spring medicine in the world,” . “Oh, ho!” laughed Nick. “Maybe that's so, but everybody simply hates “You are not telling me anything I don't know,” said the March Hare. “We usually do hate the things that are good for us.” All the time that they were talkiitg the March Hare had been galloping along and pretty soon they came to a place where a lot of little low trees with Very green branches were grow- ing.

You look as though you were going to start farming.” 4 “No, I'm after sassafras,” said the little fairyman doctor. “I put it in all my medicine at this time of the year, I’m in a hurry, too, as I have to mix my sulphur and molasses yet, too, and that’s some Job.” “Run along home, then,” said the March Hare. “We will dig all the sassafras you need, But please, sir, if we help you, don't let on, will you?

They breed in filth, and as long as they live they have a habit of strayimg back to filth as often as possible. On ¢heir feet are thousands of small hairs, and these pick up germs and dirt, which are wiped off on ‘ood.

Often the pie is under a shelf, out of sight of customers, but easily found by flies. So many unpleasant. things have been said about the fly that he is getting less popular all the time. According to Mrs. Jones in a few more years the self-respecting house- wife will be just as horrified to find a fly in the house as she now is to find a bedbug on the bed. “The fly is much the worse of the two,” says Mrs. Jones.

Rowell by the “wets” in the Pennsylvania Legislature has the rare virtues of clear-headedness and frankness. These wets know and acknowledge that so long as the eighteenth amendment stands, no modification of the Vol- stead act which Congress could constitutionally make could go far enough to be, from their standpoint, worth making. So they go after the amendment itself. i Congress could, of course, increase the permissible limit of akcohol in non-intoxicating beverages from one-half of 1 per cent to 1 per cent—but if what you want is the “kick” and Congress has to stop before that’ “kick” is reached, what difference does it make which variety of kicklessness his sympathy.! is prescribed? others combined. against all searches and seizures without a warrant, but only against “unreasonable” searches and seiz- ures. It is reasonable to require a war- rant before searching a house. It would be unreasonable to require a warrant before searching an auto- mobile, which could run away while you were getting the warrant. This distinction has always been {held reasonable in the enforcement of other laws, and therefore, the court holds, it is not unreasonable in the enforcement of this law. The “man in the street” can con- fute this by reference to provisions of the constitetion which are not ‘in it, and to decisions of the court which it never made. The confusion disappears if you read the constitution and decisions before quoting them.

Buffalo, N, Y,- So the resolution says: “Whereas, the Congress is now powerless to enact a law upon the subject except under such constitutional limits as to make it a remedial value extremely doubtful.” This is the whole point. Those who do not like the eight- eenth amendment have a perfect right to agitate for its repeal—provided they know and do not conceal that it takes 36 states to change it and only 13 to keep it. Those who do not like the Volstead act have a perfect right to move for its amendment—provided they know and do not conceal that the only ‘amendments constitutionally possible are the ones they do not want, and that a “beer and wine” law would be unconstitutional. The thing they have not the right to do is to ignore these facts, or, knowing them, to conceal them from the people.

Not so quickly, perhaps, ‘but just as surely as if you drank poison out of a bottle. If your liver is not-doing its work of helping digestion, eliminating waste from the bowels and puri- fying the biood, you will always be troubled with sick headaches, nau- sea, biliousness, bad ‘breath, gas, sour stomach, or constipation. Cleanse and tone. your liver! Put your system ‘in condition so you feel your very best again! Try just a spoonful pf Dr. H. S. Thach- er’s excellent Liver and Bloou! Syrup after the next few meals and notice the quick improvement in the way you eat, sleep, look and feel—the return of strength, vigor and energy. You will be com- pletely satisfied; otherwise there will ‘be no cost: Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup is sold and recommended, by Finney'’s Drug Storg and all other leacthg drug- gists.
