This is the first change in the gilver price since Sept. 30 when it wont up 1V6 cents to 91. At 92 cents, it is the highest since 1920 when the price ran as high as $1.3714, the all time peak. Handy & Harmon, whose sil ver quote is the basis for trading here, said the unavailability of spot silver in Eastern markets at the 91 cent level forced pur chases to be made from the gov ernment at 92 V cents. Handy & Harmon's price normaly is 14 cent under the price at which producers sell silver. The V cent extra charged by producers represents financing, handling, and other charges. In London, the spot price of the white metal held unchanged at 80 pence.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pratt Etur Wriraf Harman Nichols Oil Progress Week is now be ing observed throughout the na tion, according to N. S.

There will be more and better roads, schools, hospitals, colleges, and theaters. Increased leisure time will' give more hours for study, travel, and play. There will be-illumi-nant paints to light rooms, with the intensity controlled by a button push. We'll have lighter but warmer clothing for winter wear, and temperature regulating garments for summertime. Transoceanic TV programs will be common with three-dimensional TV pro jected in color from a flat panel within living room walls. More Electrification We will have 100 per cent rural electrification. Dust Bowl conditions will be eliminated. Agricultural yield will be up 15-20 per cent an acre with tastier, higher quality foods. Shorter working hours for farm ers will be common due to such progress results as tractors that plow by themselves. Farmers will also have automatic, high speed milking machines, plan ters, reapers, and other farm machinery all of them powered by oil, many of them made with petroleum-derived plastics. There will be human travel in rocket ships at speed of 2500 miles per hour.

Planes will take off and land under control of automatic pilots. New medical discoveries will enable women (and men) to remain younger looking, more handsome.

A lot of pres idents, past and present have let. it get around that they, too, car ried p a p e rs, proving" there is a future in the business. " Fact is, anyway, that accord ing to a lot of surveys-newsboys often do get places, account of their training. They learn at a tender age how to keep books and the value of money. And between peddling and playing they find time to dig into their books. Statistics show that news boys do better Li their marks than the average student.- Some of the kids who later were tenants in . the White House like to brag how they waded overshoed in snow drifts and never missed a front porch in their lives.

There is not a porch in Farmer City, 111., which can say it was not missed at one time or another missed by paper boy Nichols. To peddle the Bloomington Pantagraph, a morning sheet, would take an ordinary pitcher back in the mid-20's about an hour and a half. Same for the evening Champaign News Gaz ette. If I made it in twice that time I was doing fine. I spent a good bit of my time on ladders gathering newspapers off of roofs and out of eaves. Ladder Kept Handy The last place on the route was the home of Will Hammer. I'd hit the roof all right in my haste to get home for eggs, pan cakes and sausages. But hunting for a ladder was no problem. The Nichols lived at 318 West Green st., across the way, and dad's ladder was hidden in the shrubbery for a reason. At any rate the next time you feel like complaining, pat your newsboy on the back instead of laying him out for not timing his arrival with the boiling of the java pot.
