Thus far no effective method lor stemming the How has been broached nor has there been any indication of when It will euaae. On" June 1 the treasury reported that $18,622,038 In gold was receiver! from foreign ports in one week. Government statistics show that more than $140,000,000 was Imported during the four proceding weeks. There are two predominant reasons why Secretary Henry Morgenthuu, Jr. and some of his chief advisors would In? delighted if the movement could k? iSiSERSS! ; ......... . J 1. Nvery ounce of gold that comes \uf these shores that is not "carmarked" for special foreign accounts fllnds its way into the treasury and boosts the steadily mounting excess reserves that worry the board of governors of the federal reserve system. 2. Kvery dollar's worth of the yellow metal that Is added to the nations stock makes It more difficult for the government to fulfill! the terms of the sliver purchase act. Hecnuse gold Is priced at. $35 an ounce, this means that $35 |h added to excess reserves every time an | ounce Is received and that a,potential $35o in added to the ten to one Intla-.' tlonary powfcr seen in the reserves. The only thing the reserve governors would like especially is to reduce tins mountain of reserves down and the dangerous inflationary possibilities The silver problem is equally distressing. ITuler the terms of the purchase program, the government must buy enough sliver to make equal to one-fourth of the total monetary v; hie of both gold and silver stocks. I Moralise the gold stock has been I growing so fast the silver, ratio remains low despite huge purchase's. According to the ratio specifications, gold is valued at $35 an ounce and | silver at $1.29. Huge gold shipments I ifins constantly overbalanced silver j re.< i-ipts. j No matter how much silver is bought, more gold always comes in. ! The newest gold movement Lis j ! eoipe chiefly from France win re "friiihteiieil money has moved cut j persistent l\ despite efforts by 'bet French to halt the How. i Frjince wants to keep its gold so as i to support the currency. Despite this, jit has lost more than $1.000.nno.ooo gold during the last year. Ill the railed States, where a dolj lar bill may no longer he exchanged ' for its gold equivalent, the pile of j yellow metal litis mounted from $7.775t.ontt.00o, on June 1, 1934, to $10,2N7,570,5NX as re port od in a recent treasury statement. The paradox of the situation is that this is enough gold to pay off every dollar of currency now in circulation and still have $4,500,000,000 left over. Hut it is against the law to do this. AN ECCENTRIC WILL My the terms of his will. Unfits Harlow. American-born jockey, horse trainer and bookmaker, who died in France not long ago. virtually made monkeys of the eighteen employees on his farm to which he retired some fifteen years before his death.

WHAT TO DO FOR POISON IVY Contrary to popular belief. a person cannot lie poisoned by merely going near the plant, but it is entirely pas- , sible to get the poison from droplets of lie oil on the coats of animals or in smoke coming from burning underbrush where the ivy is growing. If the dropletsdhf <>il have not been absorbed by the skin, an alcoholic rmsopor even better, washing exposed parts Avith a rich lather of ordinary laundry soap will remove the poison. If the skin has absorbed the oil, use a "> per cent solution of ferric chloride dissolved in equal parts of alcohol and water or a 4 per cent water solution of potassium permanganate, the old snake-bite remedy. Also recommended are calamine lotion, or similar preparations of zinc oxide, lime.water, and a dash of carbolic acid.? Professor 0. Albert Hill in The Progressive Farmer. The senate banking committee has ! favorably reported a bill by Senator j Copeland of New York, to authorize Reconstruction Finance corporation j loans at 4 per cent to ship compan- | ies, the money to be used for im- ; | provements to passenger ships to < | make them safe at sea. j WHAT FARMING PAYS BEST? No truer words about agriculture? have evef been written than these: ? I "Study it when and whyre you will, jM?n will find this true in l,he long [tun: The farmer who farms first of , all to .have a good farnt and makt a I good living makes it good living..and I some money too. Hut the fat%ier who makes it a matter of farming only to make money makes neither money nor a living." "Seek ye first the kingdottf," said the Master, "and all these things shall be added unto you." So we may say that in farming the farmer who seeks first of all to make a farm and a home of which he and his children can be proud?all these other things shall be added unto him. In other words, the man who aims first at a good farm and a good living on the farm usually nets the most cuhh also. { ?The Progressive Farmer. Income tax collections for the first fifteen days of June, showed an increase of about Id per cent, compared with the same period of last year, ac| cording to a statement of the secre[ tary of the treasury. The second installments on 1935 incomes were estil mated at totaling $276,953,710. ; Amazing Cream Whitens Skin; One 3-Min. Treatment I 9 J Now you can have'-a skin as white and pink as a child's.
