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.

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.
