50 strong, gathered- outside the canvas

they started under but they did not

back under the fence and then went
on the outside and faced the gang
and told them the Iledpath would not
tolerate any disturbance of any kind. |
"Bill" had no more thah got back
in the tent than a big rock came tear-'

hole two feat long but it so happened
i l
nobody was hit. Two police were on
the ground but wtire unable to cope
with the gang. Next morning "Btli!'{

Marissa is a mining town with a gang

A Chinese laundry in Boston is on a

Posted upon the door of the
laundry is a sign which reads, "No

, funny but it is not funny for the patrons
of that laundry, whose lingerie
is interned. Hundreds of patrons may
have behind that bolted door thteir

by them, any more than the

You know cotton Is the cornerstone
of International finance, and
<? 1- -
iu auuuiuu, is uuprofeciea. L&oor
and capital are organized and qotton
Isnot, therefore,-it la easy for a
-lyhlle to shift the ?burden. The flnanciers
call this the fall In rates, of
foreign exchange, but It Is deeper
than that. It Is the heart, not the
pulee that Is affected. The rate of
exchange is the symptom of either
functional or organic trouble. Which j
is it? I think it is merely functional
at present, but unless promptly
remedied, it will become organic.
The Federal Reserve Board ean
stimulate the price of cotton at any
time they choose, by expanding cot-,
ton credits. They, are sure to do this,
because they must have the money
from the income taxes and luxury
taxes, to pay current expenses. Ther*
