On these occasions always the most Interesting topic of conversation whs my ' estimate of the wealth of Rockefeller and other rich Americans, Lord Rothschild Invari-ably Introduced the subject and, fore-warned, I was ready to give him the desired thrill. He would start with some "piker" capitalist, whose wealth did not amount to more than the pal-try sum of one hundred millions of dollars and then worked up by queries until he reached the American Croe-sus, John D, Rockefeller. It would be an unpatriotic American who would belittle the wealth of a compatriot at a time like this, and after having modestly admitted, In reply to Lord ' Rothschild's question, that Rockefeller wus certainly worth live hundred millions of dollars, assuming an air of I would allow him to extort what was to him a delect-able fact that Rockefeller was worth at least three-quarte- of a billion dollars; and when the money-bag- s around the table stared at me with an ex-pression of pleased surprise, but not of doubt, I would In subdued tone con-vey to them the fact that in Informed financial circles of America, the Rockefellers' wealth was estimated at over a billion dollars I The interna-tionalism of the Rothschild family and the utter lack of envy ts evidenced In the unmistakable pleasure which characterized the reception of this titbit of high finance.

GOOD WORK FOR SANITATION Public-Spirite- d Nevada Citizens Have . Shown What May Be Done Through Concerted Action. (Praparcd bj th United State Dtrtm of Agricultural Sanitation has an Important place on the program of work for 1922 In all communities In Clark and Lincoln ' counties, Nevada, reports the state leader of home demonstration agents, working with the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural college. Secur-ing and enforcing definite rules In re-gard to clean yards, lots or bouses, spring water, ditches and streets It one of the principal goals. Four of these communities have no town organization, the county govern-ment regulating local affairs. Under the direction of home demonstration workers the womenare taking steps to form town orga ohb In order to have authority totJ!e and enforce ordinances for hearth, and to make local Improvements of various kinds. As there is no sewage system in these communities, the water Is very un-wholesome and a menace to health. It Is brought long distances from springs through unclean, open ditches. The people of Mesquite community in Clark county held their second clean-u- p day Inst spring. As a result three miles of ditch were cleaned, three culverts made, the main channel of the town ditch changed, a new head-gat- e built, weeds grubbed out, rubbish cleaned up, and mud holes filled and leveled. A number of girls of the coramanlty agreed to take turns pouring kertosene on all ponds to kill mosquito eggs and wrigglers, thus helping to rid the community of one nuisance. Each person worked In his own neighborhood and had his dinner at home. More was accomplished than If a community dinner had been .served. Arnl. Thompson, mother and son are doing nicely.

PROHIBITION Prohibition is supposed to be in force In this country and yet the Shipping news tell us about the vast quantities of wines and liquors that are being imported daily. The explanation is given that most doctors are prescrib-ing it more and more as a medi-cine. It has also been stated that there have been many requests for wine for Sacramental pur-poses. If the conservative and law abiding people of this count-ry stand by and see the law cheated in such ways it is quite likely that congress will revamp the dry enforcement and partial-ly raise the ban. There is noth-ing fair in a situation which al-lows certain classes of people to have all the liquors they need, whilst the honest working man is denied even the privilege of a glass of beer. If the majority of the people of this great U. S. A. would put on their thinking caps and realize that the Volstead law is not being enforced fairly then they will insist on a change of policy. Did you send your vote "to the Literary Digest on the above subject? La Toilette's Revolutionary Amendment Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin Is boldly advocating what In effect would be a revolution In the constitutional government of the Unit-ed States. He proposes a constitu-tional amendment which would de,ny the power of the courts to declare fed-eral statutes unconstitutional, and would authorize congress to nullify any Supreme court decision on uncon-stitutionality of a statute by the simple method of the law In ques-tion. If adopted it would make the legislative whim of any temporary majority of erratic politicians In con-gress superior to the Constitution of the United States. The United States Is a republic ; the rights and liberties of Its citizens, the Institutions which make, administer and enforce Its laws, stand upon a written constitution, it Is basic to our social, political and economic super-structure. It may be altered by repeal or amendment upon the deliberate action ol the people expressed through a two-third- s vote at the states composing the ' Union. But security of the rights and liberties It guarantees, stability of the Institutions It creates and defines, depend upon' its freedom from the influence of momentary impulse or class and partisan interpretation.

Beck, solicitor general of the United States is an orator, an ex-pounder of the Constitution and a 100 per cent American. He gave the Britishers a taste of his quality re-cently, speaking at the Pilgrims' club In London before Justices, ambassa-dors and lords. He took direct issue with Prime Minister Lloyd George's recent statement In parliament that the United States gave advice freely to Europe, but was slow to "We were not slow to when we gave the blood of our army, 4,000,000 of our youth and $25,000,000-00- 0 of our treasure a tenth part of all our treasure to come to the relief f the allies,'' said Mr. Beck. "We were not slow In when, with every nation staggering un-der a burden of taxation while we for-tunately were better off. we voluntarily reduced the expenditures of naval artn--- a merits at Washington. It Is not fair to viccuse us of offering advise and telling any nation what it should do. The President recognizes what for a time may be the best policy for the United Suites Is not necessarily that of other nations.

EIGHT MILLION CANTA- - LOUPES ROT. Brawley, Colo. July 10. About 8,000,000 cantaloupes rotted on the ground in this vicinity to-day, the growers here having de-cided yesterday to cease picking for a day or two and take the re-sulting loss that as a conse-quence overstocking of eastern markets would be eliminated, and they could get a price for their product which would afford them a profit." Is not the above news item not sufficient to make one's blood boil with rage. The greed of human-ity is bad enough at any time or for any reason. But when it is so great that men are will-ing to destroy good wholesome food to make money or keep up j prices it seems to be a more ex-- ; treme form of greed than many others. One imagines the pic-ture of poor fruit hungry people and children in thousands throughout this country who are : denied the privilege of enjoying some of God's delicious gifts to man by a bunch of greedy money grabbing individuals, who one can hardly look upon as human. What could be found in this world more cruel than this wan-ton and deliberate destruction of food while thousands of hungry mouths go without even the plainest nourishment required to keep body and soul together. Yet 8,000,000 cantaloupes rot. About Troubles. Troubles come, Right well I know! But remember Trouble! (a in the Agrarian Bloo.-"Wh-has been your previous busi-ness experience V "As field mnnagey."
