Mr.~ Strack. the head master of the public schools, gave me an invitation to visit his schools on the afternoon of the second day. At the appointed hour I appeared promptly. On entering the school, 1 aaw through an open door a crowd of boys sad girls standing In systematic order, filling the en­ tire assembly hall. I was conducted by Mr. Strack to a platform in this assembly on which stood a group of lads with drums. Without either of us sitting, Mr. Strack at once announced that "we have with us a gentleman from the United States of America, the land of the Stars and Stripes.” Now, said he, give the salute! At once the drama sounded, while in front, each one of the hundreds of pupils held flags aloft and waved them vigorously. Imagine my surprise at noting that every other flag was a flag of the U. S. A.! Also imagine a real American in a strange land more than 7.000 miles from home, after six months absence, facing a scene like that! Perhaps you may think you could preserve your self­ composure through it all. Well, try It. Try it by attempting to reply to an invitation to mdke a speech, as I did. Americans, you may think you appreciate your country and your (lag. You doubtless do. But six months in New Zealand will make you conscious of your love of this U. S. A..

The Far West alone could produce every pound of BUgar con­ sumed in the United States. Why Isn’t It done? Why doesn’t the farmer produce the sugar and make money? The margin of profit Is therie. In Boise recently the federal grand Jury indicted several officials of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company/ a concern connected with the Mor­ mon hierarchy, on charges of vio­ lating the Lever Act by selling sugar costing 9 y% cents to manu­ facture for 24 cents a pound. Of course the farmer’s share of the toot hi far lees than 9^4 cents. But the farmer la not growing sugar beets to enable sugar com­ panies to make a profit of 15 cento a pound. If that profit had gone to him, he would be able to pay labor ten dollars a day, with the result that this fall we would have all the sugar we need, for the pro­ duction of beet sugar has become purely a labor problem. Thinning, weeding, topping and cultivating sugar beets Is hard, back-straining work. So tong as easier farm work can be had for equal or higher pay. labor will keep away from the beet-sugar fields. The only way to get it there is by offering extra­ ordinary high wages. We are now paying sugar prices so high that the farlher could well afford to pay ten dollars a day if he were receiving a fair share of the money the public pays for sugaf.' Unfor­ tunately, he is not getting his fair ■hare; the sugar manufacturers hasp —arly all of It, with the re­ sult that our sugar-beet acreage Is dwindling and sugar has to be ra­ tioned. The time is rapidly approaching when disagreeable. unpleasant work will command the highest Instead of the lowest possible rate of pay.— August Sunset. YARD OF DOLLAR BILLS A yard of dollars isn’t nearly as valuable as it looks and sounds, a Kansas City man of an ingenious turn of mind found out the other day. To make his “roll” more convenient to carry he pasted the tends of the bills together. In do­ ing so he made the discovery that a yard of dollar bills represented exactly $4.80. His curiosity was aroused and he determined to find out what the worth of a yard of dollars was when translated into terms of clothes, food and other essentials of life. So he strolled into his tailor’s shop and Inquired the price of a new Fall suit. ‘‘Well, we have something very good for $75. and something not so good for $60. The lowest-priced suit is $50,” said the tailor. .Further Von^ersation developed the fact that about three and oee- half yards would be respired for the inquirer’s suit. So his yard of dollars represented less than a third of the price of his Fall suit a yard. In other words, a yard qf cloth is worth more than three times the value of a yard of dol­ lars. "I wonder how far a yard of dol­ lars would go In buying a yard of goods for my wife’s wear,” re- masked the ingenious man to hlm- sqlf. « He proceeded to find out. His wife ha« a fondness for Geor­ gette crepe, and he discovered that a yard .if dollars Just about equaled the value of a yard of the prized Georgette .the latter being quoted to him qt $3.50 to $4.50. Friend wife had . been admiring the new material, duvetyn. which promises to be popular this Fall,’ and he ac­ cordingly measured five value of his yard of dollars with that of a yard ef duvetyn. to the utter shame of that yard of dollars. A yard of duvetyn he found was quoted at $1$.50. "Trieotine is Ming to be mijrfity popular for women's suits,” hinted the genial saleswoman. bo again the yard of dUTlars was brought forth for aaraparlaon. Aad again the yard of ddllarra w%a put to rcpit. Washington, July 20tb— After 65 years of continuous Government service, regarded by officials here as a record never before equalled, Henry J.
