Checks already are being sent out, the first going to some farmers In West Virginia. Applications have been signed covering 670.203 farms on which, wheat Is grown and representing 81,925,612 acres. A reduction of 15 per cent on this ares for the crop to be harvested next year will reduce plantings about 7.780,000 acres. Farm Administrator Peek said that returns on the wheat campaign show that. In general, the leading states have accepted the plun "wholeheartedly, while In some of the regions In which production Is mixed and farms are small, a lower percentage has signed up."

After he had gone Janet sat In deep thought his parting remark had stung her deeply. How could be talk like that after all she had done all the sacrifices that she had made so that things would be easier for him In the future! Then it suddenly dawned upon her that a great We abandoned the gold basis, as nroudlv as some little girl, leaving the party and taking her dolls with her. The Government said to citizens: "You can't have any gold, so. If you have any, bring It to me." The citizens brought it. An em bargo was put on gold. What we had, a few thousand million dollars worth, we would keen. What we did not have, we did not need. As the old Batavia farmer put it, we were as Independent as a hog on the Ice. If be could not stand up he could sit down. Then we changed our minds, de. elded that we did need gold, and ought to buy it, because such buy ing would knock down the price of our dollar, which persisted In star ing up, and keeping products dear. So we began buying gold, but only eold. brand new. mined In the United States, no buying gold from foreigners. That lasted a few days. Now we are buying gold wherever we can get it, always with the understand ing that it Is too good to let com mon Americans have it. And, to buy the gold in Europe, we must first purchase British ex change, pounds sterling. It seems our humble dollar is not good enough to pay for gold, but British paper money Is all right, although Britain, also Is off the gold basis. And as our dollar drops, the pound rises. Read that riddle, please. Sorry to bore you with so much gold talk, but this is amusing proof of the fact that nobody really knows anything about money, or gold, the United States Government, perhaps, less than anybody else on earth. many of the worries that had annoyed and upset them of late were mostly of her making. Looking back over their five years of married life she saw that It was this penurious trait of hers that had been accountable for most of the trials that had beset their path. Coming from a home where every penny counted, she had found It hard to spend two dollars where one would do if one only skimped enough.

It was true past no great calamity or sorrow had befallen them, but just a series of petty annoyances and worries had cropped up almost daily the kind of things that gnaw and eat away the roots of the tree of happiness and content.

Mussolini's message to the Italian people declares that Fascism Is "the hope of the world." It has certainly worked wonders in Italy. But the world will ask: "After Mussolini, what?" and "What after Stalin, Kemal Pasha, Hitler?" That any particular brand of autocracy Is, or could be, "the hope of the world" is doubtful. What suits the Italians would not suit China. And what might suit either would not suit the United States. We must all work out our problems separately and hope for the best. The British say the question of foreign debts is "up to Roosevelt." Usually when an individual nation owes money, it is up to the one that owes, to pay. Conditions, it seems, change when Europe owes the United States. By the way, Brazil is postponing the payment of its war debt to France.
