,11, 1930 t U< : - -.1 NATIONS MUST GET TOGETHER, - _________-- By DR. HJALMAK SCHACHT. Former Refcksbank President. "* i « Si' IK" rn:- I do not subscribe to the philosophy that if we let matters drift tilings will work out all right..I am a firm "believer in action. The bankers and business men of all nations must inevitably co-operate. No one nation can continue to live its own life, ignoring conditions existing in others. Many have tried it, but not one--not even the United States--has succeeded. ' ' business leaders of the various countries must get the vision of larger usefulness, submerge the political drive for intense nationalism and work ' together. There's no hope for modern civilization unless such a program Is entered into whole-heartedly. Germany will be able to gfet along and pay anything demanded of her so long as she can borrow the money from the outside to do it: But the real test and the only test of stability will come when Germany finds herself unable to borrow any more money. Then what? Then we'll all have to get down to brass tacks. CO-OPERATION IN AGRICULTURE By VICE PRESIDENT CHARLES CURTIS.

Co-operative methods will stabilize the prices. People in the consuming centers have come to realize the danger of continuance of conditions which the farmers have experienced in the last three or four years. The consjyiler now realizes what farmers have been receiving for their products, and that information has brought about A better understanding throughout the country. -- , The final solution of the farmer's problem is to get a price for bis product which will mean cost of production plus a reasonable profit. . This can be done and will be done only by and through the farmer hjraself and the utilization of the necessary agencies whidt the government has created to accomplish the result. The r Vagabond's Christmas by ft? HELEN ,g : GAISFORD •J*":: - (RAINS scarcely slowed as they passed through Brayi ton, but the hobo was watchlng and dropped off In the snow. He picked himself up whistling, and approached the crossroads station. How well he remembered that station! Even the group of arguing old men seemed the same. Oh, but it was good to be home again, to spend Christmas where he had been So happy as a boy! One of the men pointed a finger,at blm. "That," he said, "is what this country is coming to. Able-bodied men roaming the country in rags and tat ters. Likely looking fellow, too. I tell you, it's high time congress--* , The vagabond chuckled and proceed ed lightly down the road. Suddenly he checked himself. "George!" he said, "there's old Aunt Agatha's house. Why, Aunt Agatha was another mother to every boy in town. I woftder--?" He sprang up on the porch and knocked. A sharp-faced woman opened the door. "Well!" she gasped; "no, I ain't giving victuals to tramps what" can't come to the kitchen!" The door slammed, but he rapped again persistently. Presently the woman, reappeared. **I beg your pardon, ma'am, I'm looking for Miss A&atha Oberman. Do you know where I can find her?" "She's been dead and buried these eight years. You an old friend of hers?" "Yes, I'm Ben Martin--used to live in that house on the corner. I'm sure sorry she's gone." He moved down the steps;' "Thank you anyway, ma'am, and a Merry ClirTstmas." A little of the zest had gone out of Ben Martin's return. He recognized the town drug store, just ahead, but now it carried a new sign--"Thomp son's Pharmacy"--and in smaller let ters, "W. J. Thompson, Prop." lnsld<- 3 €UBA PUNS LOTTERY - FOR YANKEES ONLY , " 'Seen tnua Added Attraction for Tourists. "N^Thanks; Too Used to Freedom/' , v He Said. --why, of course 1 "W. J.

"Jove, Ben, you were a sickly kidhow did you do it?" "Ob, it's careless sleep under the stars; going where adventure calls and doing what comes; eating plain food and--. But what of you and the rest Of the boys?" * "Me? Oh, I'm married now and settled down. Tom's our doctor, but Is away for the holidays. Bert and Pup have both married and moved away and Fred is studying In New York. I gay, I'd sure li^,e. to ask you out"t< Christmas dinner tomorrow, but, well. Martha's queer,about some things." "That's all right. I'll mosey around to the old homestead. My dear cobs Ins still there?" "Yes. Your uncle's gone, I suppose you know, but otherwise the family Is the same as when the black-sheep nephew took off on his own. You'll surprise them." t> "No doubt," Ben llartin replied, and made his farewells. The old house on the corner was much the same. His knock brought a comely young woman to the door "My dear Cousin Fanny," he said, "it's Ben. Give me a kiss, my dear, and announce to the family that the prodigal has returned." The family had evidently already learned of his nearness and gathered in the hall. MI was wondering," he said at last, when the first greetings and questions had been exchanged, "whethea you could pat me up for a few days. I could, of course, sleep outside, If necessary." "Unfortunately, Benjamin," his aunt replied, "every room Is taken, as the family Is all home for the holidays. Besides, there is the question of whether or not a--a .wanderer --might have a proper effect on the younger members of the family, let alone the good name of us all. I think you'll understand--" "I do." He drew himself up. "It was simply the sentiment. I felt I would like to spend. Christmas here. But 1 shan't Impose on you. Glad to have seen you all again." He strode back up the road. "Hang sentiment," he decided, "I'm going south." That night's express bore an extra passenger. ; (A. 1930. Western N«w«pap«r Ul Havana.--A holiday drawing of the famous Cuban National lottery for American visitors only has been planned by the government as an added tourist attraction this winter, according to an announcementJ>y Felipe Sarrain, lottery director. ^ First prize in the special "sorteo," or drawing, will be $150,000 with two secondary prizes of $50,000 and $25,- 000, respectively, as well as a long list of minor prizes ranging down to $1,000. The tickets wilt be sold to Americans only. The lottery has Ion; been Cuban institution furnishing a not Inconsiderable part of the government's revenues. It Is held every ten days wlth^ a regular capital* prize of $100,000, with secondary prizes of $20,000 and $10,000. The minor prizes range from $1,000 down to $100. - j Price Depends on Demand. \ A ticket for the regular lottery setls on the streets for from $26 to $30, depending entirely on the demand. On the night before the lottery drawing the price will often drop to as low as $23 Jf the demand has not been brisk. Each ticket is divided into one hundred parts and one may purchase one fraction or as many fractions as wanted. Although the retail price of the lottery tickets varies from $23 to $30, the wholesale price asked by the government is stationary at $20. Thus if one pays $3Q for a ticket, one-third of that amount is wiped out as "overhead" for the "colecturias" (retail agencies) selling the ticket. I • Colorful Spectacle. The drawing of the lottery Is a colorful spectacle. Hundreds of Cubans gather In one of the treasury department buildings every ten days to watch the affair. Two large wire globes with a small opening at the bottom are used. In one globe are placed 23,000* small wooden balls, on each of which Is stamped a number corresponding to a lottery ticket which has been sold. In the other globe are placed a number of wooden balls with the amount of the prize represebted by each stamped on it. The two globes are then slowly turned. As a ball drops from each of the two globes--one representing a lottery ticket and the «other the amount of money won by that ticket --the number of the ticket and the amount of the prize is called out. This continues until the last prize ball Is released. . A radio hookup with the largest Havana broadcasting station permits the rapid spread of the results of the drawing. ' Sale of the lottery tickets Is forbidden In the United States, but the Cuban government hopes to attract the attention of the large number Of American tourists who annually throng Havana with the "Americans only" lottery drawing. Uses Airplane to Spot Ducks on Hunting Trip , Cheyenne, Wyo.--A novel and effective way of hunting ducks has been devised by Frank Asher, young Cheyenne aviator. i On the first day of the duck seajson Asher took off from the airport and' soon picked out a large fiock of ducks feeding on a small pond. ' I The pilot landed hi a cornfield nearby, shot all the duc^s he wanted and was back home within two hours. Ordinarily such a trip would consume the greater part of the day. "The ducks weren't in the least disturbed when 1 landed In the field," Asher said. "They stayed right where they were, so I sat down and leisurely knocked them off." ' Aicmt Water Service . Dazing street excavations in -Boaton, old pipes were dug up wMch were part of the "ancient conduit" laid in 1G52, and said to be the first water service installed in the United States. ' » Psychoanalysis The method of psychological analysts, carried out by a special technique known as psychoanalysis, was the Invention of Dr. Slgmund Freud. Timely Katharine Cfc E ACE on earth, |oaS will - toward men."; ' Ada Stratnor bent her head as the words of the preacher rang out. She wished he had chosen some others text; she didn't want to hear about pfeace this morning; in fact, she hadn't wanted to come to church at all, bat the habit of years is not easily broken. She was sorry now that she had come; it would have been better if she had heeded the Impulse and stayed at home. For the service, beautiful though It was, only made her more unhappy. Her heart echoed the truth of the words the preacher was saying: "There is no happiness in the heart that does not hold peace and good will toward all." For months she had known this; but wounded trust and pride had kept her from acknowledging it even to herself. "Never before had days been so long and empty, so full of bitterness and unhappiness. Three months ago her only nephew, whom she had persuaded to study medicine, had told her that he could not go on with that work, and worse, expressly against her wishes, insisted upon taking up the art course that she had made him drop before. For Ada 'Stratnor felt that" the career of an artist was too precarious and held too many threats of poverty. And a still greater reason, she wanted him to carry on the tradition of the Stratnor family--a doctor in every generation. Nor had she relented a particle when he told . her that the biggest joy In life was to be able'to do the thing one wanted to, no matter how hard the way. Again the voice of the preacher reached her: "Christmas is a time for reconciliation, for forgiveness, for mutual understanding." Her head bent lower at the words; something seemed to bfe choking her, and in a moment two great tears dropped on her clasped hands. But as Ada Stratnor left the church a half hour later, the Joy .of peace and love tfas again filling her hear^ and her eyes were shining as she pictured the happiness that a Christmas reconciliation wourd btlng.
