Much of his vacation was spent in Seattle and Port Townsend, al- though motor trips down the Olym- pic Peninsula to Moro, on the Pacific Ocean and over the new highway to Neah Bay were made by Mr. Whittier and his family. They visited Mrs. Whittier's family in Port Townsend and spent some time at the Sol Duc Hot Springs,l lon the Olympic Highway. | S r,— By mall, postage paid, at the following rates: {culture that farm income in 1934, far from being AT R U - ey @dvanc® pojow last year's, would probably show an increase Subscribers will confer a favor if they will promptly 'of apporximately $1,000,000,000. i A R OlTics R Ty irregularity | = 1) Vits current monthly letter the National City Telephone for Editorial and Business Offices, 374. |Bank does much to explain for the layman the MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS. reasons for the apparent contradiction in the farm Associated Press is exclusively entitied to the pictyre.

It will prob- 5ably surprise those who are only casually informed ion the sources of farm incomes to know that only |about one-third of the total farm income of 1933 |was derived from the territory worst affected by ilhe drought—that is, the tier of States from the |Dakotas and Montana down to the Mexican border ,between the Mississippi and the Rockies. Another \third is derived from the partially affected East- [Centml States, and the remaining third from all the others, which were largely unaffected. f “The agricultural importance of the Eastern in- |dustrial States,” we are reminded by the economist of the City Bank, “is frequently not realized. It KING BASEBALL RULES TODAY. Depression, politics, New Deal alphabets, all fade into temporary obscurity today as the great Amer-| o .¢ may be news to some that farmers in the North Atlantic and New England States received as much for their milk, eggs and chickens in 1933 as all the wheat growers in the country received for their In the same year the dairy cattlemen of fcan sport, baseball, still king of all sports, flares new york State alone received more for their milk into dominating prominence as millions of American than the hog raisers of Iowa received for their eyes and ears are devoted to the opening of the hogs. World’s Championship Series Detroit between the St. Detroit Tigers. Some idea of the tremendous grip that baseball has on the American public may be gained from the attendance figures of World's Series games. From 1915 to 1933 inclusive, 4,074,503 people attended world series games, and paid $14,451,235 for the privilege. When one considers that not more than a maximum of eight games were played in any one series during this period, and then considers the thousands of professional games throughout the country in the various leagues, and further adds all the sand-lot and amateur games, America’s love for baseball, and the important place it holds in American life is both astounding and psychologically important. Any great people that can so overwhelmingly and completely interest themselves in a healthy, whole- some sport, and derive the benefits of the relaxa- tion, the clearing-away of mental cobwebs and worries it affords can fight their way through the ups and downs of economic and political adjustment, suclcessl‘ully. A WELCOME SANITARY MEASURE. The announcement that the City of Juneau has definitely planned to destroy the present garbage heap now adjacent to the Douglas bridge will allay the fears of many Juneau and Douglas citizens, practicaly all of whom when viewing the construc- tion of the bridge were troubled -with the thought of how unsightly the proximity of this would be to the beautiful new bridge. More important, however, is the benefit the destruction and removal of the unsightly and un- sanitary condition will be to the many Juneau people who live on Ninth Street and in the nearby area. Many fine, well painted, comfortable homes opening game with neatly kept flower gardens have been built |}, 0 commodity, it is probable that some of them up in that area, and while it is most unfortunate|would show so low an index as to make all the that these residents necessarily endured the present|industrial arrangement so long, it should be gratifying to them and all Juneay that it is to be eliminated now Another step in Juneau's progression from town to modern city. NOT CAUSED BY LOSS OF LIBERTY. The American Liberty League and others who are deeply concerned about personal liberty under the New Deal should realize that it isn't because hunger marchers have lost the ‘“lberty” to do so that their trecks to the Capitol, so prevalent during the former administration, have ceased. Throughout the depression fruits and vege- in [tables have put more cash into farmers' pockets Louis Cardinals and the than all the grains combined or all cotfon and cottonseed combined, and the fruit and vegetable crops this year are generally good except in the heart of the drought country. Sixty per cent of the income from this source comes from territory almost totally unaffected by the drought.”™ \ To many persons, reading these figures will be| like discovering new and undreamed of economic re- sources. But that is one of the amazing things about this country of ours. Few of us realize or appreciate how bountiful Nature really is with us. It is pretty difficult to incapacitate us all at once— or, for that matter, any considerable part of us. Mcasuring Recovery. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The League of Nations' statistical bulletin sup- plies at least a rough index of the relative pros- perity of the various nations. In the absence of a more comprebensive and accurate method of de- termining economic activity, the League uses an index number of industrial production. This prob- ably gives a fair picture. According to the League’s figures, Japan is today the most prosperous country in the world, with industrial production standing at 139.8 (1928 is equal to 100). Chile follows in second place, and after her Norway, Sweden and Great Britain, a bloc which have devalued their currencies alike, and by a con- siderable percentage. The figure for Great Britain is 103.3, or slightly above the 1928 level. Hungary, Germany, and Italy follow in that order, running down to 85 per cent of 1928. In a lower group are Canada, France, and the United States, ranging from 775 to 80.8 per cent of the prosperity they enjoyed in 1928. The United States stands eleventh on the list. Czechoslovakia Belgium, Austria, and Poland drop considerably below the United States. If this index took account of the so-called one- crop countries, which rely on exports of some one countries mentioned appear relatively well off. As it is, the United States has little to boast of in respect to industrial activity. If account were taken, however, of the more intense depression which has prevailed in Amerlca,l it doubtless would be evident that the United States, has had a larger measure of recovery than most of the nations which stand higher on the Léague's list. Although the relative industrial production of the nations is of interest, on the basis of deviation from a prosperous year, the efficacy of a recovery program can better be gauged in terms of the improvement that has been made from the low point of depression. Oft this basis the order of the industrial countries would be very different. L.H. METZGAR RETURNS FROM BUSINESS TR Alaska Juneau Official Vis- its Seattle and San Fran- fairs immediately. |MRS. M.
