Another paradox is that only by remaining a slave to art may orte be come its master. exception it may be found that a town has just about at good a news paper at it deserves; sometimes bet ter than it deserves. In this connection a quotation from an address by James J. O’Shaughnes- sy, former executive secretary of the American Association of Advertising Agencies, is to the point. In the light of his many years of experience in dealing with newspapers, he says: “I have been widely quoted as say ing that the village weekly news paper is the cornerstone of American journalism. No one has disputed that assertion. Modern communities, large and small, grow and prosper in the wake of their newspapers. If their newspapers »are prosperous, retail business prospers and real estate ap preciates in value.” specks. A dirigible would indeed bp a wonderful machine if it weighed less than 1,000 pounds *nd was no larger than a street car and could bump along at 150 M. P. fl., with v45 passengers. Dumb Dora thinks it wonderful that the world is timed to go around exactly once a day. MM Psychological note: If he carries his small change in a puise he is probably a tight-wad. \ It is written that the meek shall inherit the earth, and that’s the only way they’ll ever get it. Marrying a girl who is beautiful but dumb would be all right if she would only stay that way. Prosperity or Depression—Which? PROSPERITY is up for election, running to overthrow DEPRESSION. ItV for the people to decide which will be chosen. Every man and every woman is privileged to ballot—<every day. i DEPRESSION has no rightful place with a hundred and twenty million people exchanging goods and services —capable—accustomed and willing to work—more highly skilled than other peoples—leaders in efficiency and progressiveness—backed by the vast natural resources of the United States. When we make it possible for the man who works to have a job we make it possible for him to buy food for his family and so help all business, including that of the farmer. The rest of the world is of small importance compared with that free m^cet of 120,000,000 people—homo geneous—of like tastes, habitg and aspirations—living under the same laws—free of trade barriers. Foreign tnule may be troubled by tar iff s and revdlutions, but at their peak our exports represented only five and a half billions of dollars of gross busi- n«5s in a year out of a total Ameri can income of ninety billions. Stagnation of -circulation is what’s the matter with agriculture and with business. Everyone can help to get that circulation moving again. Government can’t make Prosperity —alone. Bankers and other business leaders can’t make Prosperity—alone. It’s the people, united in opinion and purpose and courage, who determne Prosperity. They can elect it—none other. Ballots that will be validly counted for PROSPERITY are of many kinds. Some one of them every man and woman can cast. For example: Help a deserving man or a woman to get a little paying work—or, better, a regular job. Spend wisely and not too tim idly, and anticipate scheduled ex penditures so far as is practica ble. Turn the deaf ear to false, mischievous rumors; and don’t repeat them, if you do hear them. Be willing to pay a fair price. Don’t take advantage of the other man’s necessity. Recognize ' that he has as good claim to a fair profit as you. When a vampire that fattens on the miseries of others shows ! up, help to make him unpopular. Discourage calamity howlers. Keep business moving evenly, and remember that, to the aver- • age man, his job i s his particular * busines?. When possible, reassure ’ him against hi 8 fear of losing it. Save, but save wisely, not in ? fright Invest for the profit that r sound enterprise pays and for ‘ the added profit that will come i after the hysteria of depression 1 has passed. f Papers Reflect Town. Town Grave-Diggers. In nearly every community may be found quite a number of persons who consider themselveg leading citizens, but who in truth are helping to dig a grave for their town. They do it through failure to sup port the institutions which make the town what it is. They do it by send ing away for merchandise which might be bought with equal advantage at home. They do it frequently through thoughtlessness, but oftener through sheer disregard for the wel fare of the community of which they aie a part. The doctrine of buying at home -is not advanced solely in the interest of individual merchants. It is advocated because every citizen of a town isf to a certain extent dependent upon every other citizen for his own prosperity. Business men are sometimes as great ly at fault as anyone else in the mat ter of out-of-town trading. If the shoe dealer sends away for his automobile tires, and the automo bile man sends away for his furniture, and the furniture man sends away for his clothing, and so on, how can they expect to build local prosperity? All the fine talk about civic pride that we may indulge in will never make a town, so long as the life blood of the community—the cold cash—is spent elsewhere. A man may make boosting speeches until he ig black in the.face, but unless he spends his money where he makes it he is a home-town grave digger. Politics Won't Help. Too much rain next year, and plenty of boll weevils, and an abun dance of rust and wheat flies, and all the droughts possible, plu s the scarcity of money with which to buy fertilizers, and much flu and mumps at seeding time—will fetch prosperity back to this old country, and nothing else will,—the farm board, the land banks and the Republican party not withstanding. Republican Hash Served Again. In his speech two weeks ago at the bankers’ convention |n Cleve land, President. Hoover emphasized his demand that the American stand ard of living be not reduced, so my dear bankers, it ig up to you—let us have some money, quick. Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. Over There and Over Here. When us Americans fail to elect our man for president, we simply cuss a few blue streaks, and accept the other party’s man. In most foreign countries, the defeated presidential candidate immediately starts a revo lution, and occasionally wins out. It pays to be satisfied evep with a Re publican administration some times— Democrats never revolt—they suffer it out. Cotton Letter. New York, Oct. 25.—There was lit tle southern selling today, hence the advance of 2 points was met by hedges and private estimates. Tin ges, dog-tails, highs, lows, and and the game are selling 246 points off of De cember and the bulls are straddling May and October and are long cn next August therefore, according to A1 Smith’s way of thinking, the wets have a strong chance in 19 and 32 compared with strict middling and Liverpool cables. The last govern ment report was anticipated as usual, and spots firmed up as well as down in sympathy with Anaconda copper and General Foods krackles. We don’t advise nothing. It is the president’s idea that you folks who have no jobs must trade in your old Fords for bigger and bet ter cars, and eat ham avo turxey in stead of bread and bologny, and boys who are working on half-time on half wages, listen to this: Buy better clothes, shave often, put in a new radio every now and then, don’t go backwards. Friends, you won’t have any trouble borrowing what money you need un til after the depression is over. In fact, Mr. Hoover told those bankers that the future prosperity of this country depended on them, and so it does. Now if any of you folks need money, all in the world you’ve got to do is—take a few Liberty Bonds (Fourths, please) to your banker and he will let you have 25 to 30 dollars for a few days on same. Or if you have any 20-dollar gold pieces lying around the house, the banks will advance you 60 percent of the face value of each and every gold piece you pledge, and you will not therefore have to part with your gold. I would advise this in all cases where it looks like your standard of living is on the verge of being lower ed, and I am sure President Hoover will agree with me in this matter. Don’t move out of your present house (when your rent falls due) into a cheaper house: always pick out a higher priced residence to live in. In other words, if you are now paying 50 dollars a month for an apartment; by all means shift to a 75-doilar bun galow with heat and everything. No doubt your husband will be able to get a job in 19 and 32, and in the meantime the banks will provide cash for your “standard of living.” Yes, sir, ree: We must not retro grade. When you get in the bread line, friends, wear, clean collars and shirts and keep your shoes shined. The Republican prosperity that is now in our midst, with the aid of the banks, will pull us through without hurt. “From an economic viewpoint,” and so on and on, we are over the depression and conditions are better already. (N. B. See cotton and wheat market and unemployment statistics.) Yep, Fellow Americans: Let’s keep up our standard of living even if we have to starve to do so. A Delayed Obituary, flat rock, s.
