Most o* Our Troubles Ifever Happen.^
la the panic of 1907 a resolute"
9 gentleman connected with a large J
city bank labored long and earnest- <
ly with the head of the institution to
back blm up in an Experiment. It |
took some time for the head of the <
bank to be won over, but at last be 1
consented.
Then the resolute gentleman went 1
calling. He visited persons who had 1
been clients of the bank for years 1
and who had good sound businesses 1
which wfere doing little owing to the *
general gloom. <
The first man he approached had 1
' a very dark view of things. He 1
talked pessimistically and was severe
in his criticism of th\e banks. I
"If the banks would only loosen 1
up," he said, "we could get Into our <
stride in no time, but we cannot get c
money except in driblets and so we c
are hobbled.'* ?
"Could you use money if you had 1
liberal credit?" asked the resolute 1
man. f
"Could I use money!" exclaimed 11
the merchant. "Could I use money?" ?
"Well, you can hare $200,000 f
from us right now," declared the res- f
olute man.
"Do you mean that? Do you real- 8
ly mean what you say?" demand- r
ed the merchant.
"I do." a
"I hardly can belUepre It," declared jc
the merchant. "I think I'll go down n
to the bank and see the boss." 6
The resolute man went from busi- *
ness house to business house as he r
had listed the persons he was to 11
He says that only one man took 0
immediate advantage of the offer *
made to him. The others really did
not need money in volume at that 5
moment and couldn't use It to ad- vantage
if they had it, but their 1
whole view of conditions was chang- *
ed at once by the fact that they could "
money If they required it.
Before the resolute man got 1
around to the twenty-first person
on bis list there was a pronounced c
change cf 'tusuess set tment in s
town. The neri of what the big
bank was doing wasn't tellc?td at
first. ?.ut when rnritmea not only
eba?n?<* some pervor.t at ?n:e from ,
pokvclsm to optimism, bnt 1?1

bad done.
"Most of our troubles are mental,"
says tbe resolute man, In telling of .
that 1907 episode. "We've brooded g
so much ovfer things that we are ^
in a blue funk. We've lost all sense ^
of proportion. The world la In a dif- t
ferent state today from what it was g
in 1907, of course, but we are mak- e
lug conditions worse by thinking
they are worse. We'll make a lot
of headway If we only ehange our
lew point."

Why Do People Die? T
No scientist, living or dead, haa ?
been able to explain why any per- p
son should die, except by acoident or
violence. They can &e no reason for
1 it, except that "it is appointed to '
very man once to die."

from the moment a baby is born, the &
forces of life and of destruction be- D
gin to fight in the cells of the brain f"
and body. Until maturity, the cells i~?
multiply rapidly and thus growth is ^
accomplished. But even during this
growing period, the germs of decay e
are busily at work.
It also has been discovered by
scientists that cleanliness and sanitary
living conditions prolong individual
and community life. This is
not theory, but logical and sensible
reasoning, dfemonstrated in practice,
It should be generally understood by
every man, woman and child.
A few immaculate homes in a fine
residence district will not safeguard
even that neighborhood from an epidemic.
Smallpox may originate in
an unsanitary home miles away, and
sweeep the city. A polluted water
supply, or a stagnant pool in a vacant
Ilot, may become the source of a typhoid
epidemic.
Dust, dirt and filth breed distease.
Disease hastens decay and death.
Let's banish these enemies of good
health and long life. Let's work together
for a eleaner and more sani
tary city. This is the greatest and
most Important cooperative effort
that we can make for reducing our
Mortality rate.
There can be nothing finer than '
the community spirit which demands
that we clean up, paint up, and keep

FINANCIAL DOMINATION
forkville Enquirer.
In the current issue of Commerce
ind Finance there is quite a shrewd
irticle by Theodore H. Price, intended
as a defense of the group of Wall
Itreet financiers recently charged by
Senator LaFollette as having conspirsJ
together in the bringing about the
rorld-deflatlon of wages and prices
hrough whieh we are now passing.
Senator LaFollette's speech was basd
largely upon diagrams and arguments
furnished by W. Jett Laueh,
conomist of the Brotherhood of Railray
Engineers, which speeches and
rguments undertook to show that
ne Danics, the railroads and th? raiload
equipment companies of this
ountry, along with the big steel cororation
and other leading industries
rc completely dominated by not exeeding
twenty-fire men, through inirlocklng
directorates. In part Mr.
'rice says by way of reply:
It is a maxim of law that it is necBsary
to prove a motive in order to
iove a crime and the charge that the
xpitallstlc conspirators in New York <

and has coat all ot them heavily can
only be sustained upon the theory
that they were bent upon financial
suicide rather than financial gain.
Tbls is the reduction and absurdum
of Mr. Lauck's arraignment, developed
at some length lest his allegations
uncontroverted might mislead
the public who are always willing to
believe the worst of Wall Street. We
have lived on or near that nefarious
thoroughfare for thirty-five years and
know that our neighbors are nelthet
mom nor less selfish than their
countrymen elsewhere. In every little
town and every city in the country.
in every church and in the management
of every chartiable organisation
there is some one man or group
of men that leads and dominates.
Amongst women in every grade of
life there are social leaders whose authority
is generally recognised. In
schools and colleges there is always
some boy or girl whose right to the
leadership of the scholastic group is
conceded and whose decisions are respected.
This is fundamental in human
nature. In the days of prehistoric
man the tribe had its chief and from
then on every group has either tacitly
or affirmatively selected and obeyed
some one in whose leadership it
had confidence.
Aa the duties of leadership multiply
lieutenants become necessary and
so It results that In finance as in ev- 1
ery other field of human activity
there are men and women who become
associated together In -he direction
of the forces that must be intelligently
directed if society is to
survive. It cannot be otherwise unless
the eugenlsts manage to contrive that
the mental endowment of human
being shall be identical and that
brainB as w<ell as wealth Bhall be
equally distributed.
Quite an ingenious argument that
Mr. Price makes; but not at all conclusive.
In their presentation of the case,
for instance, Mr. Lauck and Senator
LaFollette give the nameB of the men
they charge with having manipulated
the whole business, not only the original
expansion, but the subsequent
deflation, and while there is no question
of the fact that many millionaires
have been bankrupted, Mr. Price

particularly named have been hurt.
If there was anything criminal in
the stupendous operation complained
of, it was in the expansion rather than
in the contraction, and if the whole
thing was really a conspiracy, It is
pretty safe to assume that the parties
who were on the inside managtod to
take care of thmselves.

Tbeke are a number of advantages
In staking and pruning tomatoes.
The quality of the fruit Is Improved,
the tomatoes being larger, more uniform
In slse and of a better color.
The fruit will ripen earlier than the
fruit of plants not staked and pruned.
Not so many tomatoes rot. The
stakes should triors feet high and
should be driven In place soon after
the tomatoes are transplanted..
Prune to one or two main stalks,
pinching off shoots growing in axle
of leaves. Prune about once a week.
When plants are tied to the stakes be
sure that plants are not injured.
Loop a good cord string around the
stake and tie It under the leaf steam.
