Today the average Anicrican family owes 32330 for cars and household appli- ances, 58220 on personal loans and charge accounts, and fEi,26-5 on long-term home lmortgages, according to the Christian Sci- lence Monitor. It is pointed out, however, lthat although the total debt is more than three times as high as immediately after the war, they do not owe much more in lproportion to income than they did in the ?late 30's. One secret of the American standard of living would seem to be the habit of buying on credit. It is a dangerous one to imitate, however, unless accompanied by American productive standards.

For generations the weeding of cotton patches has been back- breaklng work. Since cotton grow- ing has spread to the Southwest- ern States large numbers of Mexi- cans have been brought in for several months of each year to do the Job. Now they appear to be on 'the way out. and all on account of ' geese. The geese won't touch the cotton, but. they're death on weeds. They fertilize the fields, too, and at the end of the season, they need not. be sent back - they merely go to market.

V'ICTOBIA' S C ORONATION

"The ascension of Queen Vic- toria to the Throne was the oc- casion for the grandest demonstra- tion Cliarlotteltowii had as yet wit- nessed. The mth June, 1838. was the day set apart. for the cere- mony, and the auspicious event was cclchrntcrl with great. on- lthusiasm. Early on that morning lthr: doors of the jail were thrown Iopen, the prisoners therein con- fined were liberated, and the hullding surmounted with flag poles which were covered with biintlmz. Arches were erected in the most. public places and adorn- icri with banners and mottors. One of the latter at this distant date will doubtless fill contemplative minds with reverence and respect. it read: 'I.onlz live the Queen, and happy may she he.'

"A troop of cavalry. artillery with guns, and troops of the Gar- rison were drawn up in review on fQiieen Square, in front of which ll-lis Excellency the Commander-lm .chief and suite had taken post. 'At 12 o'clock an artillery salute and fcu-dc-jnie wcrc fired, llwn lsrciiking into open column, Ihc ivhnlc force. marched past the salulinz flag tivlce.
