Who Will Solve the " Problem? BY " LEONARD A. BARRETT ^ Whatever we may think of the present theories for solving the unemployment problems, one fact challenges our most serious consideration. As business Improved we expected a decrease in the amount needed for relief, whereas the opposite has been true. More money Is needed today to cart for the unemployed than three years ago. Either the: number of the unemployed or the* per individual has lit jpaay icrsons are now ob relief who could be gainfully employes)) Bow many have been offered w«rk and refused It? These questions merit molt discreet investigation. Fn •Jew ef the ultimate solution of this MicJal protyem the inevitable question . wises, is Ibijresent method of grant tog reWef »<}^qoate? Will It solve the problem? If not. are other solution.-' possible? Among the many solutions offered for consideration, three are receiving serious thought. The most unique plan Is known as the Townsend method which all persons over sixty years of age, regardless of race or social Standing, be given $200 per month upon the agreement, that the person receiving the money will noi work for wages and that he will spend the entire amount within the month it Is granted. The enormous expense of such a plan is to be raised by taxation. The argosoent is that it would take 10,000,000 out of the ranks of the unemployed. Another plan, championed by Mr. ftuey Long, suggests there be no in- --crease In taxes but the entire wealth of the country be divided, so that every person will have a spending allowance of $2,500 per year. Just how this to to be divided and the method by wbicb roere wealth will be created :when it all runs out, does not seen; to have received earnest consideration. -- Another plan Is that of unemployment insurance, the burden of the cost of carrying the insurance to be carried largely by Industry Itself. Many ether plans have been suggested, but In addition to the present "dole" system, these three seem to be the moot important What is the perfect plan) Who will think the probfern thresgh?

'v. • counterfeit!" Ton never realize that counterfeit Ing is one of the major rackets until some one looks st the bill you have Just given him, looks twice at you, and tells you that But In Chicago alone, $504,000 in counterfeit money was turned over to the government last year, according to Capt Thomas J. Callaghan of the Chicago office of the United States secret service. In addition, it is estlmat ed that untold thousands of dollars were lost by the public through counterfeit money that never was reported to the government. Counterfeit bills that fan into the hands of the government during the year total well up In the millions in face value. Counterfeit "shovera," or persons who actually put the counterfeit money into circulation, were busy during the holiday business boom. Although $5 bills are usually the most generally counterfeited, the bills to wstch just now are tens. The counterfeiters are working on the theory that the profit's twice as great and the risk is no greater on tens. The worst thing about counterfeiting Is this: There's never. any way of getting your money back, unless you can prove where you got the bill that's bad, and there's hardly any way the average citizen can quickly detect a cleverly counterfeited bllL Student Hang* Himself Trying to Re-Enact Tale New York.--Paul Warren, fifteen year-old Roosevelt high school student/ was found dead in his home, in the Bronx, the victim, his parents believe, of an attempt to experience die sen satlon of a hanging as depicted In s detective story magazine drawing.

HALT OP BUTTER IMPORTS CAUSED „ BY PRICE DECLINE More normal milk production and the recent ^decline in domestic butter prices have brought a halt to imports of butter, according1 to information received by Farm Adivser John Brock of McHenry county, from the extension service, Collegre of Agriculture, University of Illinois. The margin between New York and London butter prices has ^tiarrowed to 10 cents, which is four cents less than the import duty. This has stopped all imports of butter, except possibly a small, amount of some very low grades. Some 20 million pounds of foreign butter were imported into this country during' the first five months ol 1935 to supplement abnormally light Margarine prod- 4« million pounds in the firat three months over the corresponding period year ago. Butter production during the first 4 months of 1935 was 40 million pounds below the corresponding perio* of 1984, but butter consumption-had decreased 86 million pounds. Total milk production oil June 1, 1935, in the United States was estimated at about 4 per cent above the •date of .1934. This gradual return to normal production levels has been largely responsible for the decreased butter prices and the consequent falling off of imports. Production in the Chicago milk shed increased 25 5 per cent from April 25 to May 25 with an additional 27 per cent increase over the May 25 production 10 days later or on June 5. The number of milk cows on June 1 of this year was 5 per cent less than on June 1, 1934, but average production was 9 per cent higher largely because of pasture conditions which were 77.7 per cent of normal as compared to 53 per cent last June. Imports of butter are usually concentrated in the first four months of the year, decreasing when domestic prices decline with the coming of summer pastures and increased domestic production. DANGER TO WORK HORSES THROUGH DELAYED SEASON With the delayed season and farm work in McHenry county far behind, the rush of activity when the weather opens up and the days get hot will make it dangerous for work horses unless they are protected from heat stroke,. said Farm Adviser John H. Brock. Two years ago when hot weather followed < a late, >ainy spring as it promises to do this year, thousands of work horses in Illinois died from heat injury. These horses had been idle dupng the rainy season and consequently could not stand the strain when they were pushed to the limit in the efforts of farmers to catch up with their work. One of the first considerations in protecting horses from heat injury is to see that they are adequately fed and have plenty of vigor, according to Dr. Robert Graham, chief in animal pathology and hygiene at the College fof Agriculture, University of Illinois. A horse that is unfed and lacking vigor is especially liable to collapse in hot weather. Horses that have been idle during the rainy weather will need to be broken gradually to hard work to "season" them. A sudden plunge from idleness int<f hard work under a broiling sun is almost certain to cause damage. the horses have . there is certain precautions are followed. Prominent among these is the use of in resting the when they need it a at Jkreasonable gait. Salt «nd water, used in plentiful quantities, will help horses withstand hot weather, said Dr. Graham. Since heat injury is usually caused by the loss of body minerals through Inspiration, plenty of salt will help replace this loss. A finely-ground 1hixture of salt and limestone at the rate of three parts limestone and one part salt should be kept in the feed box at all times. Or it may be mixed with feed at the rate of two handfuls twice a day. Waterr is be taken the field on extremely hot days, when watering the animals every hour is not too often. Even with all of these precautions, a horse will occMlonally suffer a heat stroke. If symptoms of a stroke develop, the affected should be put in the shade at once and a veterinarian called. Ice packs and cold water, judiciously employed, together with a teaspoonful of salt in the mouth, are helpful until the veterinarian arrives. EYBS ON THE ROAD FOR LONG LIFE newly-painted barn, Smith's corn rows, that twelve acres of hemp that Black seeded this spring -thy're all mighty interesting to look over as you drive to town, says the Safety Division of the Illinois Agricultural Association. But a craning neck may be a broken neck if you don't keep your eyes on the road. Curiosity killed a cat, they say. Indifference and carelessness while driving has killed many more farmers. What may be your first peek at another's field may be your last on earth. It's fine to be interested in what's going on. It's broadening and gives you something to think about. Humans are built so they can do only about one thing well at a time. You can't drive well and do another's farming at the same time., Be interested if you will, but let your prime interest to be road ahead. Youll live to think about what interests you.
