Outlook Promising
In a recent address the American
Institute of Hankers at Baltimore, 1
John Moody, the New York investing
expert, predicted the present period
of business depression which blanketthe
entire country, will begin to lift j
around the turn of the new year, and ji
by early summer the nation will ;
again enjoy unusual prosperity. Mr. h
Moody declared that the outlook for :
business in 1921 has during the last (
six months improved by such rapid
strides as to surpass any parallel im- j
provement which has occurred in the ]
recent business history of the country. :
Prospects and prosperity don't alwayr
go together and of late they have gone 11
very much apart. "Last May we hadli
plenty of prosperity, and no pros-1 <
pects," he said. "Operating costs
were rising with leaps and bounds as j
to promise to wipe out net profits in (
the soaee of a few months; and bank
loans were expanding at a rate which
had it been continued would have
spelled panic in spite of the Federa1 1
Reserve system or any other system." : i
o
Mother's Club Meets
i.
Mesdames i\ 0. and T. E. Arrow smith
delightfully enttytained the
Mother's Club at the home of the
former Friday afternoon. Although
time for the regular meeting of the
club, the Friday afternoon meeting
was held especially for the teachers
of the school.
The following interesting and instructive
papers were read.
"Value of an acquaintance with
great literature to parents an choosing
and telling stories to children."
In connection with the programmes
furnished the Mother's Clab, programmes
especially adapted to the use
use of parent-teacher associations are
obtainable. It was proposed by Mrs.
L. W. Gilland that these be offered to
the local parent-teacher association,
if they are desired.
It was decided to begin a membership
campaign in an effort to double
the present membership before
May 1, the beginning of the second
year of the club. Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmith
sugg^ t "I that each presentmember
brinj in one new member before
that time, the entrance dues being
$1.00 each. It will l.ot be imperative
for new members to buy the
books used in connection with the
work of the club, but instead pay the .
yearly due of $1.00.
The nuestion of the varied watres
paid household servants was dicussed.
and a motion made to standardize, or
make uniform as nearly as is expedient,
the wages for cooks in private ,
hom4s, with the beginning of the New
Year.
Two appropriate vocal selection.
"Mother Machree" and "Mighty Lak
a Rose.'" were beautifully rendered .
by Mrs. Wilmot Oilland in her usual
unimitable style.
At the conclusion of the program,
delicious refreshments were served by
the (laughters of the hostesses, little
Misses Mary and Louise Arrowsmith
There was an unusually large at- .
tendance at this meeting and as a
whole it was one of the most enjoyoklo
arifl sinre the organ i
~ J - ? - - ,
zation of the cli^b.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. W. E. lirockington.
the third Friday in December.
