Lokey, a special writer for the New York Times, has set forth most graphically, what occurred dur- ing the last year in Wall Strect. Farmers of this state who have been suffering from a deflation which set in soon after the war, may be interested in the “squeeze” which was put on Wall Street and other investors in twelve months ending Oct. 23. Fifty of the most prominent stocks have been compared and the depreciation in the market value of them in a year reached the astounding figure of $7,770,042,988 or in other words the total value in 1929 of these stocks was $29,998,942,239 and after the crash the value stood at $19,228,899,251. It is called “the greatest speculative drama in history” and who is there to question the truth of that statement after the figures are examined? The drama was both speculative and tragic. General Motors, for instance, suffered a depreciation of more than a billion. Only a few stocks showed apprecia- tion during the period and in the list of fifty compared, $7.20 sever 1.20 Reviled Mother Goose Some uplifters of their voices and the human race, Professional censors and mar-feasts, have blacklisted “Mother Goose” and her rhymes, long the best known and best beloved of American verse. In spite of the ravages of iconoclastic child-culturists, Mother Goose is the universal American poet. Her Jingles, wiser and more beautiful than most of their modern successors, ring in even the most prosaic memory. They are among the early-heard things impossible to lose. Their anagogical, allegorical, mythological, astron- omical significance is deep; but, taken with only the meaning that meets the ear, they are educational, dis- ciplinary, full of sound morals. The Man in the Moon has its wholesome lesson of pronunciation as well as its warning against precipi- tancy, Little Bo-Peep, among its thousand values, is instructive to “regulars” and “insurgents.” Old Mother Hubbard is the favorite of budget-makers, secretaries of the treasury; and, like most of the other rhymes of that marvelous collection, a happy marriage of sweet sounds, & choral consonance, sheer magic and music. Former President Roosevelt's opportune recital of Little Miss Muffett and the Spider, when a district attorney fled from his presence at a public dinner, is still remem- bered in New York. Mother Goose is not Bostonian, She is derived from Perault's “Tales of: My Mother Goose,” published in 1687, twenty-two years before the Boston classic ap- Peared, and Perault got the idea from a-thirteenth cen- tury romance and a still earlier legend. eee Preparing for Christmas Christmas is still quite a distance ahead of us, but it is not exactly too early to begin to take care of that Christmas shopping job. It’s a fine feeling to come up to the last week before the holiday knowing that you have bought and mailed all.the gifts you are going to buy. The last-week rush doesn't affect you at all. By the same token, it is not at all too early to begin to plan on Christmas relief. For a great many families this winter Christmas will be only a mockery, unless those of us who are more fortunate do our bart with @ will. In every city there are many families that will need help. Now is a good time to begin maki ns ee gi king plans Editorial Comment Editorials printed thought by ether editors, Theyre” 3 0 whet! The Tribune's Dolicies. “ a a the trend ot They are published with- 'Y agree or disagree with those which did not register depreciation were American Tobacco, Coca-Cola and National Biscuit. Despite the depreciation and its general effect on busi- ness, financial men point out that some phases of the situation are overlooked as indicating the country’s economic strength. These are summarized as follows: The banking system has emerged unimpaired in strength and usefulness, Increased prestige of the federal reserve system. Improvement in the foreign trade balance. Enhancement of the United States’ position as @ creditor country. No further problem of “frozen credits.” Decreased inventories of raw materials and manufactured goods promise a business revival in the not too far distant future. In many sections of the nation savings de- Posits show @ marked increase. The fall in commodity prices has been ha!ted. Dividend disbursements are holding up very closely to the levels of a year ago. How long the depression is to last few are courageous enough to predict. Comparison with past bad years Is not always a good guide upon which to predicate prophe- cies, Some economists have arrived at a span of 13 months. One guess is as good as another. Bringing about better times lies often with the people themselves. A judicious expendituge of money ‘hat will afford employment to those needing work will ald sub- stantially in improving times and instilling confidence into the buyers. Efforts being put forward to improve the employment situation are stressing the importance of doing that odd "* now. They cre urging cities to spend what they can for necessary improvements and individuals to plan their budgets, if possible, in a way to anticipate certain expenditures which will be necessary in the future. In many cities the “BUY NOW CAMPAIGNS” are bring- ing gor? reenlis, The correction lies to a great extent in the reestablish- ment of confidence in the purchaser. When that is re- vived it will be surprising how much money is available for buying. a A Test for Football College football seems to be having sporadic bits of trouble again this fall. An eastern football star, con- fessing that he is sick of the game, is ordered to hand In his uniform. Six players at another eastern univer- sity ask for higher wages and are dropped. A western university is dropped by an athletic conference because it has subsidized and recruited prominent stars. It would not do, of course, to pounce on these incidents and declare, because of them, that college football is all wrong. It is a fine game, and it provides enjoy- ment for many thousands of people. But there is one fair test you can apply in any given situation, 5 . If football at any college exists primarily to provide the players with wholesome and enjoyable athletic recreation, then it is on a sound basis, no matter how much money comes in at the gate. If it exists for any other primary it is on an unsound basis and needs doctoring very '. The Price of an ‘Open Town’ A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune remarks that a certain Dlinois city is “putting on the lid” because of the furore following the murder by gunmen of a gambler’s wife. This city, it develops, has been an “open town” for two decades; but this murder indicated the development of formideble, lawless underworld gangs, and city of- ficials found a shut-down in order. ‘Thus, Once more, is illustrated the curious dilemma of American city officials. If they govern a city where popular sentiment favors an “open town”—end there are many such cities—they court the growth of a dangerous underworld organization, which fattens on the revenues’ from gambling and booze joints. If they close the town up to choke off the gangsters the voters, deprived of their amusements, arc apt to rebel and put in a new regime. All in all, it is a peculiar, and somewhat dis~ couraging, sign of the times. Your Duty to Vote Teo often there is general apathy in the North Dakota fall elections, as the voters feel that the results are settled in June. For the most part that is true, but in the various counties there are many local issues to be settled and county servants to be selected and as large ®@ vote as possible is necessary for the best determina- tion of the issues presented in the general election. It is not the function of a newspaper to tell any of its readers how to vote, Rather it is the duty of a news- paper to explain, rather than to exploit politics, In . the columns of this newspaper from day to day the is- sues have been presented fairly and without narrow partisan bias. ‘There is but one admonition The Tribune desires to Bouquets While Living Abate beraed Pioneer Press) year ago Judge Fred White and wife - don, N.

It was Pleasing to note in the sip Post that approximately and friends joined on Sunday, October 19, in honoring this most excellent couple on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Ordi- narily one has to die to be thoroughly appreciated and have neighbors and friends shower bouquets and good words. But in this case neighbors and friends really woke up on the occasion of the golden wedding and showered these good people with words of kindness and affection, which will be cherished in their hearts forever. People in this world are so busy chasing the necessary three meals a day that they commonly overlook those little expressions of @ppreciation and friendship which really mean so much to the recipients, Judge and Mrs. White are filled with the spirit of service and goodwill toward their fellow man and have done much to make their part of the world a better place in which to live. ‘They have earned high praise and great honors. z . —— Going Slow Toward a Quick Turnover (Minneapolis Journal) It must have been amusing rather than embarrassing to the state department at Washington, to be caught in the same psychological moment with the president of Brazil.

Whipple the nn te the impulsive obse1 e ive observer, it may seem that the United States, having declared ‘itself for one gov- ernment only, suddenly to find another government in power, must acknowledge the corn and lift an embargo that operates only against that new government. But the position of the United States and its state department is more deeply rooted than that. Competency and stability, without continued violence to the interests of public order, are the measures of recognition. It does not follow that the United States must acknowledge Brazil's new government as such, merely because it is in. The Brazilians may prove their title to recognition, but they are still in » dubious situation, for they have yet to establish a fair degree of unanimity between the revolting forces of the northern states and those of the south. There are at least two forceful groups in the military junta that has swept into power just when Washington was showing its good faith toward a friendly government. They may compose their differences and demonstrate their strength and ‘their. good faith. But until they do, the matter of arms supply will doubtless re- main as it was stated when the embargo was laid. And responsibility will not be demonstrated, until it is clear that the army, or any portion of it, will not again cones such a mistake as to fire on a vessel of another The Panhandle Turns ‘Amarillo’ (Minneapolis ‘Tribune) Mary Garden is going to Amarillo, Texas, to have tea with Editor and Mrs. Eugene Howe. The event, in fact, is something more than an informal tea, It is an artistic love feast and reconciliation necessitating, it appears, the introduction of the frock coat into the far-famed Pan- handle country. Amarillo is a pleasant little city. It had its beginnings in the era of the long horn steer. It boomed with oil filid developmen Its name is Spanish for “yellow.” ‘The conquistador Dons named it for a yellow flower that grows in profusion upon the Panhandle prairie, far back in the old brave days of adventure on the scuthwest frontier. All these years the Panhandle country, from Canadian oa the Cimarron, to Los Vegas to the west of Amarillo, where the rolling hills break into the picturesque desert, hes gone along happily without the frock coat. The gentlemen of the Panhandle have not been with- out social charm. They had a delightful southern drawl, ‘They wore 10-gallon hats, a six-shooter at the hip, a gaily colored hendkerchief about the neck, leather pants, the insviteble chaps and dependable boots with spurs dangling about the heels, These tinkled tunefully when their owners appeared at an evening party and con- descended to tread a stately measure with the Indies. Then these gentlemen were graceful as a Centaur, despite the fact they were sometimes a bit bandy-legged. The cow men were the real aristocracy of the Panhandle. That wag not so long ago. Then ca:ne oil, newspapers and a sharp exchange be- tween 9 great singer and an editor following a family tradition which decreed plain speaking. ‘The editor spcke lightly of Mary Garden's voice. He said she was 50 old she tottered. Shc cancelled her local engagement’ and left Amarillo in a huff. Publicity gave the affair the aspect of an international incident.. Mary is coming tack for a widely heralded reconciliation, which ts, of Course, as it should be, Frock coats are decreed for the pasty in her honor, but there is no frock coat in all Amerillo, not even in the wardrobe of Editor Howe. So 42 are ozdered by wire for the Mary Garden tea. It is @ tenet of the simple faith of the men who ride the long reaches in the land of the butte and the mesa that “this old world always evens itself up.” Even s0 it is proved in the current arrangements for the enter- taining of Mary Garden in Amarillo. But up on the lone places of the Cimarron and the Canadian where men are men and the social conven- tions bother them not at all, you will find old men cooking bacon about a smoky fire and sleeping under blankets who will not take kindly to the innovation. They will dismiss it with the sage opinion that “the Panhandle has gone Amarillo.” And even as Mary Garden and Editor Howe and their seconds end handlers are gathered about the samovar, the lone coyote will sing @ requiem for the Give its readers and that is to exercise an important Brerogative of citizenship next Tuesday and VOTE. i Panhandle. gone as the wept that was before tlie invasion of the frock coat. becausejan editor and an opera singer Greta and Jane were searched her.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Watery Eyes Question: J.C.C. asks: “Will you please tell me the cause of watery eyes? Every time I laugh, or face the wind, my eyes run in streams. There is also an itchy irritation in the corners next to the nose. My eyesight is good. I am 50 years old.’ Answer: There must be some irri- tation of the eyelids and tear ducts to cause your trouble. Such irrita- tion usually comes from the same causes which produce irritation of the stomach and intestines. The effects of wrong food combinations, produc- ing hyperacidity of the stomach, may be seen in the irritation of any of the mucous membranes. ri Canned Milk Question: Mrs. F.. W. asks: “What is your opinion of canned milk for coffee?” zs Answer: Canned milk would not have true happiness without health. Others think that success is the thing to be gained. Without reading your palm, or tea leaves in your tea cup, or gazing into a crystal, or consulting the stars, or looking at a single card, I am wilting to prophesy that if you will learn to live and eat correctly, cause of better health you will be more successful this cofning year than ever before.

Today Is the ‘Anniversary of * JOHN ADAMS’ BIRTH On Oct. 30, 1735, John Adams, sec- ond president of the United States, was born at Quincy, Mass. ‘He graduated from Harvard at 20, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1758.
