T H E TAX CAMPAIGN

THE ACTION of the S ta le in vinburking upon a cnmpuign lo encourage del inquent tax-

payers to avail themselves of the ten y e a r plan of paying up their accrued public obligat ions m a r k s the in t roduct ion of sound busi-ness pr inciples in to a b r anch of government w h i c h he re to fo re has opera ted almost ent i rely accord-ing lo t radi t ions that dale back lo bygone centur ies .

Almost no a t t empl has been made in the past to "sell" the tax-p a y e r the idea that he should pay prompt ly . Ins tead he has been permi t ted to d r i f t into del inquen-cy wi th little or no warn ing , and then , all loo f r equen t ly has found the accumuata led burden beyond his means and h a s lost h is prop-e r ty .

Michigan has been lenient in its enforcement of del inquent tax laws. The s ta tu tes now on the books will enab le many thous-ands (A homes and fa rms to be saved that wou ld surely have been lost had t he r e been no mod-ification of the old rules. It is a fine thing for the Stale to make eve ry erfort to see that no one w h o ' i s enti t led to this relief shall fail to receive it IFrough ignor-ance of the measu res enac ted for his rel ief .

YOUTH AND TOMORROW

THHHK IS SO much common sense and so much encour-agement f o r the youth of to-

day in the fol lowing art icle, wr i t t en by W. J . Cameron of the Ford Motor Company and pub-lished in a recen t issue of The Michigan F a r m e r , that T h e l e d g e r r e p r i n t s it in the hope that many of the younger genera-tion who read it wil l obtain there , f r o m a new and better s lant on life a n d its present -day oppor -tunit ies . Mr. Cameron ' s ar t ic le f o l l o w s :

"Grieved voices are lament ing that indus t ry a n d business can-not ' absorb ' the mass of p resen t -d a y graduates . The w o r d 'au-sorl i ' is r a the r ghast ly. Indus t ry exis ts at all because cer ta in men re fused to be ' absorbed ' into pre-exis t ing sys tems ; they struck uut and did t h e new t h i n g that needed doing. T o be passively ' abso rbed ' in o t h e r men s enter -pr ise is su re ly a s t range ideal to o f fe r American youth!

" W h a t is rea l ly meant.of course, is tha t at p r e s e n t employment n a y not come readily. Educated you th should set its mind on that ma t t e r also. Do not say, 'There is no work , ' if wha t you mean i>, ' T h e r e is no o n e to ask me lo work , to tell me what to do, to s h o w me h o w to do it, lo pro-vide me tools to work w i th , and to guaran tee me money f o r work-ing.' Don't con fuse w o r k wi th h i re . T h e w o r l d is full of work , but at p resen t slack on hire. Most of us have a pay roll com-plex, yel pay rol ls do not g row on bushes ; beh ind every pay roll is a man w h o makes it a n d meets it. The re mus t be men on the c rea t ive as wel l as the receiving s ide of tl»e pay roll. Tha t is w o r t h th ink ing of. The m a n who s t a r t s work wi thout wa i t ing lo be h i red will be a p r e t t y hard man to stop. And he will not lose, fo r the law of life pays f o r any-th ing lhat is done—if it is done f i rs t . Every genera t ion testifies to tha t .

"Of course, t he r e are those who d o not know just what they want t o do. We talk of choosing a vo-cat ion, but o f t en the vocation chooses us. T h e work w h i c h you a r e to do m a y not have appeared on ea r th yet. Many men high in the au tomobi le world did not know as y o u n g men jus t wha t t hey w e r e lo be—the automobi le wor ld had not yet been born . You may be destined f o r some s p h e r e of w o r k that is yet lo s w i m into o u r ken. But wai t ing f o r it is not gett ing r eady for it. You must do w h a t you can , keep learn ing all you can, buckle into a n y decent t h ing that o f fe r s—and keep doing something w h e n noth-ing offers , if only lo mainta in y o u r s tand ing in the mystical w o r l d of w o r k — a n d then at some t u r n of t h e most unpromis ing road, out of some ambushed hour , t he r e will c o m e an inner 'click, ' a n d you a n d your w o r k will be together . It 's a great exper ience! W e have seen so many men quit just before the thing they sought a r r i v e d ; it came seeking them, a n d they w e r e not the re . They qu i t too soon ; it is a l w a y s too soon to qui t .

"Th i s is a l ime lhat chal lenges y o u r mett le . And yet, even wi th t imes as t hey a re , you have fo r t y avenues of activity, w h e r e the genera t ion lhat addresses you had but one. You a r e fo r tuna t e young people. T h e fu tu re that s tands at your th resho ld promises lo t reble a l l p resent possibili t ies. When you meet a period of h is tory whe re in t r a i n e d young men a n d women a r e gathered rank on rank , and assembled in thei r t housands y e a r a f t e r year , w i th a p p a r e n t l y n o march ing orders , you may t a k e it as the clearest p rophecy that this grea t host is marsha led f o r an advance that will make all previous progress seem poor . Prepared men first, and then t h e f o r w a r d m o v e m e n t -Dest iny seems to w o r k lhat w a y . By that , y o u n g men a n d women, you may in te rpre t y o u r present t ime and place. And once you g ra sp the meaning of commencing at this pe r iod , no fa l se phi losophy can dr ive it f r o m your minds.

"The y o u n g e r genera t ion wil l learn that w h e n it is tempted to th ink that all oppor tun i ty h a s been pre-empt ied or monopolized, it is being deceived. Tr i t e as it may be it is malhemat ica l ly p rov-able lhat m o r e oppor tuni t ies exist , more open doors to achievement , than when a n y successful person you can n a m e today was fac ing life, an un t r i ed youth. Fa business, teaching, enginee: domest ic economy, home-bui ld-ing. finance—every field, o f fe r s more open roads than ever be-fore. You m a y in jure yourself if you th ink o the rwise . "

H. G. Chrouch , w h o keeps a fami ly cow and raises poultry in addit ion to his dut ies as telegraph o p e r a t o r at the Grand Trunk , h a s long felt tha t he would like to o w n a motor boat so lhat he and his family might en joy the beaiiliful scenery a n d cool breezes af ford-ed by Grand r iver . However , Mr. Chrouch Ihe o the r day accidental-ly d iscovered a new kind of loco-mot ion. It came albout Ibis w a y :

TTie family cow looked upon the green pas tu res on the o t h e r s ide of the r ive r and (as w i th humans , d is tant fields looked t h e greenes t ) decided that she w a n t -ed to p a r t a k e thereof . She suc-cessful ly s w a m Ihe s t ream lo the o t h e r s ide w h e r e she was located by iMr. Chrouch . Now, it's a long walk a round lo Ihe Chrouch homestead , so Mr. Chrouch hil upon a novel idea, viz.: iHe would get a rowboa l , tie a rope a round

Bossy's h o r n s and tow her back home. T h e exper iment was got-ten u n d e r w a y and everyth ing proceeded smoothly unt i l mid-s t r eam was reached. Here old Bossy look ma t t e r s into he r own hands . Instead of being towed, she proceeded to do the towing a n d soon w a s back , boa t and all, to the green pastures f r o m which she had been taken.

Mr. Chrouch did not propose to be outdone by any cow so the an imal w a s taken to a point west of the lower br idge w h e r e the cu r r en t f lows swif t ly , the boat again was put into use and . with the aid of an assis tant , they man-aged to keep ahead of Ihe ad-venturous cow until she was landed safely back home.

Mr. Chrouch again tu rns his thoughts to a motor boat as a means of locomotion.

T h e g rands t and a t t rac t ions for the Ba r ry Coun ty F a i r which wil l b e held at 'Hastings Sept. 3, 4, 5,1) and 7, will inc lude two large musical revues, of the cal ibre of Ziegfields Foll ies—White 's Scan-da l s—Showboa t—and Ihe Music Box Revue. These- shows long ago discont inued the one night s tands, the i r engagements now be-ing limited to long runs in less than a dozen of the larger ci t ies. T h e pr ices charged by these s h o w s a r r a n g i n g f r o m $4.40 to $5.30 a seat wou ld prove p ro -hibi t ive even if i t V e r e possible lo engage them. Although the re a re a lot of show going people w h o would welcome en te r ta inment of the 'Living stage' variety, if f o r noth ing m o r e than a change f r o m the popu la r talkies, f ew would be wil l ing to pay such an exhorb i t -ant p r ice for it.

Secre ta ry Maurice Foreman of the Ba r ry County Fa i r has se-cured an a t t rac t ion for his Grand stand audience that is as near ly a dupl icate of Ihe "Fol l ies" as it is possible to p roduce a show for the open a i r stage.

Th i s u; the th i rd edition of the Gus S u n ' s "Ken tucky Frol ics ." a musical product ion that has won the plaudi ts of thousands of peo-ple at the largest s ta te fairs in all sections of the count ry . In show-ing his approva l of this p e r f o r m -ance, whi le Ihe show was playing the f amous Canadian Fair al Ot-tawa, the Governor General voic-ed his en thus iasm over the radio, r ecommending it as a surpris ingly beaut i ful type of en ter ta inment ami an exhibi t ion that no one having the oppor tun i ty of visiting Ot tawa should miss. Other high t r ibu tes came f r o m the Governor of New York when the show played the Great Syracuse State Fair .

The main f a c t o r in a fa i r man-agement ' s abili ty lo bring an at-t ract ion of this magnitude and beauty to Its grounds , is its g rand s tand seat ing capaci ty . T h e average fdir today can accommo-date c r o w d s larger in number than it would be possible to seal in Ihe thea t res . It is s imply a case of volume against pr ice and the F a i r Manager wins out on the popular s ide of the a rgument .

T h e Kentucky Frol ics Revue al engagements played thus f a r has been breaking a t tendance r eco rds with regular i ty , proving qui te conclusively thai the public is willing to pay its money for a mer i to r ious a t t ract ion and, also that its c rav ing f o r the real over Ihe art if icial must be accepted as a fact .

Eve ry th ing about the show is new this year . T h e scenery is mode rn to the last moment , being the result of*the ar t is t ic e f fo r t s of New York ar t is ts . The 100 or more cos tumes a r e gorgeous and a sight lo behold . The company is large and an excellent one.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

People who think they save money by buying goods out of town, keep losing money th rough helping lo depr ive their home town of its resources.

Hopeful talk about your home town encourages people to work for it. and discouraging talk in-cites them to quit and say it 's no use.

T o teach pupils in a school, you must w i n the i r a t tent ion, a n d to teach people to b u y your goods, you must a t t rac t thei r a t tent ion by adver t i s ing . Your home news-pape r . because of its r eade r in-te res t . is the best and most ligit-imate w a y of accomplishing this des i red result .

Hippie defea ted 100 feminine contenders wi th his lone en t ry—a j a r of b lackber ry jam. Judges said it was a t ru ly great jar of jam in the sense that Mona Lisa is a great paint ing and Dis-covery a great race-horse.

"I am not at all surpr i sed at Mr. Hippie 's victory," commented Mrs. Colman. "Last yea r a Fern-dale man baked the finest cake submit ted at our Sta te Fair. An-o ther man entered a quilt which" received serious considerat ion f rom the judges.

Stuffy Room* Are Stuffy and How to Relieve It

Sir LeonnrO Hill, Engllth physl-oloplst nnd writer on public bealth subjects, finds that the so ciilled "In-fra-red" rays given off by dnrk or dull-red sources of hent cmise the nostrllfi to contract nnd thus inter-fere with brenthlng.

He believes that this is the chief reason for stufllness that we experi-ence In an overheated room. Says a report of Science Service (Wash-ington) :

"In a lecture at the recent pub-lic health congress in London, he showed tha t this effect Is not due to a direct action of the heat upon the nostrils, but that It Is a re-flex effect from the sensory nerves of the skin. He describes the par-ticular heat-rays that give this ef-fect as 'nose-shutters. ' Their ac-tion Is especially marked In persons whose breathing Is already par-tially obstructed—those with a de-flected septum of the now. for ex-ample, or a person suffering from catarrh, asthma, or hay-fever.

"The effect can be neutralized by fanning the skin of the face with nn electric fan. or by the action of certain other rays, which ho speaks of as 'nose-oponers.' that are given off especially by luminous sources of beat. They may also be absorbed by water vapor, and ho suggests that this Is the explanation of the efficacy of a bowl of water placed In front of a heater in relieving the stuffiness of a room."—Literary Di-gest.

Why Market Speculators Are "Bear . " and "Bul l . "

"Bear" Is the older term. I t origi-nated In England In the frenzied days of speculation In the early part of the Eighteenth century when al-most everybody was investing In the South Seas Trading company. I ts origin, notes G. R. Turner In the Kansas City Times, was In-spired by the old proverb relative to "selling the skin before you have caught the bear," and referred to those "Insiders" who, a f t e r more than one billion dollars bad been In-vested In the gigantic enterprise, combined to unload their stock nnd thus brought financial ruin to the company before It had had the op-portunity to fulfill its promises "Bull." nn allusion to a bull 's habit of tossing up things In the air. fol-lowed ns a nntnrnl consequence In describing nn Investor with tactics the opposite of those of a "bonr."

Why Bride Carriea Flowers Flowers from very early days

have been Intlmntely connected with religious rites, says the Montreal Herald. Fru i t used to be offered np In sacrifice to the old gods, nnd the flowers which come before the frui t were used to garland the necks of animals sacrificed on the ancient al-tars. There was a symbolism In all this, the flower standing for the glories of the harvest-to-be, nnd so In olden times the marriage festival was beautified by these emblems. Gradually the symbolism grew, par-ticularly flowers being given particu-lar meanings. So the orange blos-som as bearing f ru i t nnd flowers together stood for youth and ma-ternity. the lily for purity, while the rose and myrtle were especially con-secrated to Venus, goddess of love. Today the exact symbols are gen-erally forgotten, but the brldnl bou-quet still remnlns.

Why Scriptures Became Bibla The nnclent Egyptians were the

first people to make paper, their source for which was the papyrus, a reed native to the valley of the Nile, notes G. R. Turner In the Kan-sas City Times. Their method for manufactur ing this form of paper was to slice and press the pith of the papyrus Into thin flat sheets that could be conveniently rolled. The Greek word for this material was blblos, and becnuse the first books were rolled-up sheets of papyrus, blblos came to mean "a book." Later, with the widespread popular-ity of Christianity, the word Bible was Invented by English-speaking people nnd spelled with a capital B to deslgnnte the Scriptures ns The Book.

Why Barn i Are on Stilla

Some hay barns are on stilts. Many fa rmers find that method of constructing storage places for hay Is economical nnd efficient. It Is cheaper to build the roof and leave the sides partly exposed. The open sides permit the air to get Into the pile of hay nnd keep It fresh. Cat-t le can go up to any side of the barn and have a square meal. A traveling hay fork Is on a small ex-tended par t of the roof so that the bay may be distributed evenly.

Children Will Like Milk With Flavors

Chocolate. Fru i t Juices, and Spices

Can Be Used To Make T e m p t -

ing Drinks

Children whose appet i tes f o r milk mus t be encouraged In hot wea ther of ten are more t h a n glad to drink the needed daily amoun t if simple flavors are added.

The most common milk d r ink is chocolate milk. A supply of the .chocolate syrup can be m a d e and t h e n used a s needed. Twelve pounds o f sugar a r e mixed thoroughly with one pound cocoa, one-half pound corns ta rch , two teaspoonfuls c ream of t a r t a r , and a dash of ground c innamon. This is boiled for a few minu tes in a gallon of water , cooled, and three ounces of vanilla a re added. One ounce of the syrup is added to sev-en ounces of milk

One and one-half pounds of chocolate may be used ins tead of the cocoa. The cocoa set t les out of the dr ink quicker than chocolate but is readily remixed by shaking. Smaller a m o u n t s of sy rup can be made by using proport ionate ly smaller amoun t s of each ingredi-ent.

Jam.s, marmalades , o r fruit, juices m a k e f ine f lavors fo r milk. Two or three teaspoonfuls to the glass a re usually enough but the amount can be varied to sui t in-dividual taates. Grape, raspberry , blackberry, pineapple, and cher ry a re popular flavors.

Spiced milk is easy to prepare . Add a teaspoonful of s u g a r and a dash each of powdered cloves, c innamon, and nu tmeg to a glass of hot milk. The mixture is beaten smooth and served hot.

Children who beg fo r ca rbona ted d r inks c . a be coaxed in to the milk d r ink ing clan by add ing a portion of a ca rbona ted beverage to milk. The carbon dioxide gives the milk a snap which chi ldren like.

Other milk dr ink rece ip ts can be obtained by ask ing f o r a bull-etin f r o m the College home econ-omics extension d e p a r t m e n t , Eas t Lansing.

THE MENACE OF THE LOBBY

By RAYMOND PITCAIRN NailMal Chairman, SantintU of tha

Ktpubllr

Congress , a s this is wr i t t en , is p lunging into a probe of lobbies and the i r influence upon national legislation.

Not a bad idaa—even though it may prove a two-edged sword, s lashing a t p ressure pol i t ics f rom within as well as f rom wi thou t !

But whomever it may wound, the invest igat ion will serve a worthy purpose if i t br ings forc ib ly to the a t ten t ion of the Amer ican people the growing evil of ru le by or-ganized g roups—whe the r composed of office-holders or of p r iva te citi-zens. For it is th rough the power of lobbies and of p res su re politics t h a t such forces seek to uti l ize Con-gress a s a lever to loosen the foun-dat ions on which res t ou r American form of government .

The American people m u s t real-ize—

T h a t if economic theor i s t s can, by Federa l law, prohibi t or u t ter ly control the organiza t ion of busi-ness, big and little . . .

If vis ionary zealots can , by Fed-eral law, control t h e bir th , the rear ing , and the govern ing of all children . . .

If the educational zea lo ts can, by Federal law, control all education and el iminate the p r i v a t e and the church schools and colleges . . .

If t he zealots in t h e a r t s and c r a f t s and unions can, by Federal law, control t he methods, the tech-nique, and the volume of all pro-duction . . .

If every o ther g roup devoted to some moral or economic theory can force i t on the people t h r o u g h pres-sure on our national legis la ture . . .

Then the republican f o r m of gov-ernment , under which the United S ta tes became g r e a t a n d its people f ree and happy, will be supplanted by a t y r a n n y depr iv ing citizens of l iberty of mind, of body and of action.

Only when the s y s t e m of pres-sure pol i t ics—from wi th in or with-out—is finally des t royed, will t he g r e a t body of unorganized, se l f -re l i an t Amer ican ci t izens, who con-s t i tu te the backbone of our nat ion, come into i ts own.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER KEEPS 4-YEAR PROMISE

Comic wri ters and newspaper paragraphers to the contrary not* withstanding. California and Florida are on speaking te rms.

Tremendous Trifles 11

By ElUO SCOn WATSON | j

TINY URGE, G R E A T A D V E N T U R E

THROUGHOUT bis boyhood Ran-ald McDonald listened to the

sai lor^ tales of J a p a n and made up bis mind to go there.

So, on a June day, 1848, he sat In a small boat rolling In the wake of the whaler Plymouth, oft the northernmost coast of Japan . He had arranged with Oapt. Lawrence B. Edwards to be set adr i f t when the Plymouth approached the shore.

On July 2, near the village of Notsuka, McDonald capsized the boat deliberately, feeling sure tha t no race would mistreat a ship-wrecked sailor. But he was Im-prisoned for ten months. He put In his time to good account, how-ever, learning their language and teaching them English.

McDonald was freed from captiv-ity on April 6. 1840. His adven-ture bore f ru i t In a s t range way. One of his pupils was a youth nnmed Morlyama who became In-terpreter for Townsend Harris , the first minister from the United States to Japan. H a r r i s task was one of the most difficult In the his-tory of American diplomacy. The trail that McDonald had blazed Into Japan resulted In the rise of an Oriental nation to a world power.

S e p t e m b e r A F i r s t is the last day to pay your taxes for 1932 and prior years

without interest or penalty! , A N D now, after years of postpone-£ \ ment and delay, the time has come

JLfor you to pay your taxes. You can't put off this duty any longer.

Your peace of mind and domestic secur-ity demand it. e Fortunate, indeed, are the tax-payers of Michigan. A thoughtful legislature has acted boldly to lighten their burden. Never before has the ta4 payer met with such print: consideration.

You, who still owe taxes for 1932 and previous years can now pay in the origi-nal amount. Although years have i>assed you need pay no interest or penalties, here alone saving yourself from Z/% to 45%, and even more.

But your law-makers have not stopped at merely cutting interest and penalties. VVell they know that debts piled up with

the years can not be met over night, even if the totals are reduced. 5o Tbejl Created The "lO-Yev PluTl

Now you can pay your back taxes for 1932 and prior years so as to take ad-vantage of big and worthwhile savings. If you cannot pay in full at this time yon can pay as little as one-tenth and pay the balance over a period of years, with only a small carrying charge.

September first is the last day to pay back taxes for 1932 and prior yean with-out interest or penalties. Do not delayl Act Now! Your County Treasurer will quickly tell you the exact amount of your tax. He will accept your payments and restore you to good standing as a faith^ ful tax-payer of a great State.

"How's it happen you think so much of that truck ? What's it got that's different ?" "Well, for one thing, it has an 80-horse-power V-8 engine. That's different . . . and not only different but BETTER! What's more, it has torque-tube drive, a strong, husky frame, a big, new heavy-duty clutch and new brakes that stop quicker and wear longer. But the things that I like about it are the RESULTS of all these features. I 'm here to tell you V-8 Performance and V-8 Economy are just what the farmer needs today."

"There's a lot in what you say. Ford ought to know the kind of truck the farmer needs. He's a farmer himself and he's always built a good truck fo r the f a rm."

" Y e s . . . and he has built MORE trucka than any other manufacturer in the world. Don't forget that! If you're as smart aa 1 think you are, you'll go see the Ford dealer and ask him for an 'On-the-job* Test of the new Ford V-8 Truck with your own loads, over your own roads. He will let you TRY it before you BUY i t l "

Peace in the World

j i H K quest ion of peace has I never more inBlslcntly occu-

pled men 's a t ten t ion than It uoea today. And yet, in spite of .ill the t h o u g h t that Is being giv-en lo this quest ion, peace seems .-:ill a f a r ofL-

We have advanced to the point of looking for a world peace—a couiprchenslvu peace—but niaii-•ilnd gcueruily does not under-stand the Idea of peace In Its es-sence. Apar t from t h e multlpllc-ily of p iob lems to be resolved In to harmony, lliere Is a complexity of beliefs regard ing what consti-tutes peace. Men believe there a re many phases of peace—the peace of the individual , of the home, of indus t ry , of the nat ion. . . ,

Peace is not pr imari ly the ab-sence of sickness, t he e l iminat ion ol s t r i f e In the home or society, nor the absence of w a r among the nat ions. The absence of these things Is assured as peace is gained, but Is not peace In Itself, for peace Is the realization of the omnipresence of God, good. All s t r i fe is s t r i f e within the h u m a b so-called mind, s t r i fe as between the h ighes t good real izable and something lower than the best.

Even when two or more Individ-uals seem to be engaged In s t r i f e the problem Is reducible to the conflict between good and evil within the consciousness of those concerned. If good p redomina t e ! In one ' s consciousness the s t r i f e will In t ha t measure d imin i sh ; f o r whilst h a t e cannot cure ha te , no r selflshness e l imina te selflsbness, the subs t i tu t ion of love fo r ha te , and unself lsbness f o r Belflsbness, m u s t finally bring a b o u t a com-plete cessat ion of c lamor fo r al l . Mary B a k e r Eddy says In he r Mei-sage to The Mother Church fo r 1900 (p, 8 ) , " W h e n a man begins to q u a r r e l with himself he s tops quar re l l ing with o t h e r s . " The qua r re l w i th himself Is t he s t r i f e of good wi th evil, t he s t r i f e of the h igher wi th the lower ; and It Is a s t r i f e which can have bu t one end, namely , peace, f o r t h e di-vine Mind consciously expressed diss ipates and destroys t ha t which Is u n r e a l and false.

J u s t a s s t r i f e touches only the ao-called h u m a n mind, so peace is real ized only as t h e presence of God, d iv ine Mind, Is unders tood . T h e r e Is one Infinite peace, the peace of God, and men today m u s t

find t ha t peace be fore they can find Its effects , e i ther Individually, In t h e home . In business, in social circles, o r In In terna t ional ques-t ions.

Today men say t h a t peace de-pends upon the t u r n of even ts In the wor ld ' s a f fa i r s—events such as par t ia l or total d i s a rmamen t , or upon o t h e r In terna t ional ques-t ions of the m o m e n t Peace, how-ever, does not depend upon these events ; these events depend upon human i ty ' s real izat ion of peace. T h e world Is where It Is today be-cause peace as the resu l t of know-ing God Is not general ly real ized. Mankind Is not yet awake t o the r ea l mean ing of peace, and n a fu l l y sa t i s fac tory resu l t can pos-sibly be reached un t i l t he peoples of the wor ld real ise t ha t peace does no t depend upon s ingle o r con t ingen t events, but on the pres-ence of God In tbe hea r t .

Eve ry man who t u r n s away f r o m content ion and s t r i f e In tbe h u m a n field and holds bis t h o u g h t unreservedly to God, will find peace f r o m all t b e s t r i f e which seems t o rage a b o u t h im. H e will find h is feet on tbe rock which canno t be moved, fo r be will be suppor ted and sus ta ined by tbe In . finite God. This assuredly Is t be mean ing of Cbi i s t J e sus ' s ta te -m e n t : " P e a c e I leave wi th you, my peace I give u n t o you: no t a s t b e world glvetb, give 1 u n t o you. Let no t your hea r t be t roubled , n e l t b t r let It be a f r a i d " ( J o h n 1 4 : 2 7 ) . T h e Issuea of tbe na t ions can be resolved only a s tblz peace Is unde r s tood ; and each man who seeks, finds, and holds f a s t to t h e presence of tbe infinite is doing much to promote world peace.

Tbe quest ion ar ises , If t be o t h e r man does not >ease to oppose. Is h e to have tbe advan tage of b is con-t e n t i o n ? . . .

Chrlstnnis a f t e r lhe San-Marbarn earthquake. I was

In Hollywood, hnvlng a place in Charley Chaplin's T h e Gold Rush.' This was to lie my first Christ mns on land. Dnrlng my seafaring days I never had a Christmas tree. This Christmas I was K^lng to h a r e a tree for Father and me. Dad was expected home from a voyage he was making In the Oceania Vance. No end of preparations were made for that tree.

"Chris tmas morning I dreamed— not a cheerful holiday dream, but a dread dream—that I saw my fa ther under water, saw htm struggling to get o u t Restive, I went downstairs early.

"In the kitchen I found no gifts, but an unusual article for our house, a tabloid. I never buy them. The cook must have bought this one. Across the top of the first page was the fatal headline. 'Los Angeles Captain nnd Crew Lost.' The rap-tain was my father, the boat was the Oceania Vance. My fa ther was not with me for Christmas.

"I kept the candies on the tree burning for him. New candles were inserted as the old ones bnrned o u t I kept repeat ing: 'I'll keep the Christmas tree, daddy; you will have your Chrlsimas tree. '

"By the New Year the Oceania Vance was found at the bottom of the ocean. It was overturned there, without any sign of the crew. The distance of the vessel from shore was too great for any human to swim; the length of time since the disaster was too great for any hu-man to endure without food.

"I kept the Christmas candles burning.

"Eighteen days a f t e r Christmas my fa ther walked Into my house. Be and his crew bad been picked op by • Mexican fishing smack and taken to southern Mexico, from where be could not communicate with us.

"He has a s t range sense of fore-boding. All seafaring people have I t They a re supersti t ious and augur-ous. Ton can Imagine how annoying this la to ship owners. One thing they never do Is to ta lk shoot a wreck.

"He greeted us. All ho ever said about his absence was said t h e n : *1 didn't want the Oceania Vance; I told tbe owners I didn't want to lake I t Before we started I saw a shroud over that b o a t ' "

A BASIC QUESTION

Economist Describes Conflict Between Opposing Social

Views on Central Bank

Agitation for government hanking Is a phase of the conflict between our present "personal rompetl t lve enterpr ise system" In America and the "compulsory s late collective se-curity sys tem" of several Buropean States, Virgil Jordan, President Na-tional Industrial Conference Board, says In "Banking" published by the American Hankers Association.

"They Involve Irreconcilable prin-ciples of human conduct and phil-osophy of life and Ihe conflict be-tween them is the key lo the eco-nomic, social and political struggles of today." Mr. Jordan says.

The enterpr ise system of which "tho development of the United Slates has been the unparalleled ex-ample, depends for its motive power of progress upon lhe Inexhaustible reservoir of energy In Individual de-sire for personal advancement In prosperity, but It guarantees nothing to the Individual save freedom of opportunity." the art icle says.

The collectlvlst security system, he says, "places all emphasis upon the maintenance of a minimum standard of living for the mass with-out regard to the creative power of the Individual. Quite simply the se-curity system involves the modern form of the philosophy of the slave sooiety." Me continues:

A sifln of the Timei "The many-sided movement to-

ward governmental banking, deposit insurance and currency manage-ment Is the most direct and decisive expression of the universal Instinc-tive search for security which is Ihe sign of the times. In America our so-called social security legislation Is an Important Indication of the dr<ft away from the enterprise sys tem toward a collectlvlst security system with concentration of au-thority in a Federal government

"The nationalization of credit Is crucial and Indlspenslble for com-plete s ta te control of tbe complex industrial and business s t ructure of this country. The drive toward gov-ernment banking and monetary con-trol Is moat determined because tbe relation of the s ta te to credit goes to tbe root of the enterprise system. A collective security system Is In-conceivable without nationalization of credit. An enterpr ise system Is inconceivable with It."

Under a collective security sys-tem based on government banking the controls "lie solely In the hands if a few persons and depend upon their Judgment, will or caprice." Mr. lordan says, adding that It Is they who must determine "upon tbe basis of some predetermined plan or upon pure political expediency of tbe mo-ment, what lines of Industry and even what Individual enterpr ises shall have the credit."

"Every government is an organ of party power and must respond to the will of tbe party that put It In power," the Jordan article says. "Under unchecked government o p eratlon it Is an Inescapable tendency of every currency to depreciate and for credit to expand. However much It may be In the Interest of the na-tion, deflation Is too dangerous po-litically for any government.

"In the end government banking and currency management resolve themselves simply into tbe use of credit aa a political Instrument of power, and this Instrument tends to be used In tbe long run for expropri-ation of the community's savlngi ."

THE FARM BUDGET By DAN H. OTIS.

Atricuhurtl Dine tor, Am trie am Bankert A ssecitlion

Inventories sld In the formation of a fa rm budget. Some banks, as well a t the Farm Credit Administra-

tion. r e c o m-mend outlining In advance tbe m e t h o i of using produc-t i o n l o a n s . Under this plan p r o v i s i o n Is m a d e f o r monthly expen-d l t u r e s a n d funds arc granted to tbe borrower in ac-cordance with t h e budget plan. B u d g e t s

help show bow loans can be repaid. With tbe accumulated data f rom

previous Inventories and budgets, budget making becomes easier and more accura te and valuable. As one branch of the fa rming plant requires more expenditure, such a s for new machinery, fencing, livestock, etc., it may be necessary to limit others to meet pressing requirements.

The budget helps to formulate a financial program. It Is of special Im-portance In a r ranging to meet spe-cial or large expenditures. If the In-come and expenditures a re careful-ly budgeted It prevents the spend-ing of money needed for Interest and taxes before the t ime of paymen t

Tbe Agricultural Commission of tbe American Bankers Association feels that this type of work Is so Important that special emphasis has been placed upon the field of farm Inventories, budgets and credit state-men t s as one of Its national projects fo r fa rm aid.

ALTHOUGH, aa offlclal studies of buslnesa conditions show, busi-

ness Is still far from having struck tta full stride, nevertheless, 1 believe that It Is undoubtedly true that the natural economic proc-esses which have always brought tbe nation out of a stump are now and bare been for some time steadily at work laying the foun-dations for mora ac t ive bus iness conditions.

1 believe that thera is growing a broader public perception that the people of this country must make their own prosperity and not wait for the Government a t Washington to make It for them. In other words, the normal economic vigor and vi-tality of the United Statea la slowly but Inevitably bringing recovery.

Like a doctor, the admlnlatratlon can help nature. But the fundamen-tal healing proceasea will come from natural causes and not from political remedies. Despite the slackening of business now apparent, despite ex-preaalona of disappointment we hear from various quartera. nevertheless 1 am confident that these funda-mental healing processes. It not spectacular, are none the leas sure-ly at work.

Gradually our business leaders are ahowlng greater confidence In the future and are assuming a more forward looking position. 1 firmly be-lieve that If we will make up our minds" to replace fear-psycbology with confidence-psychology the re-sults will fully Justify such a new attitude.

The American Bankers Associa-tion's Advertising Department re-ports rapid progress of the use by banks of the Informative bank news-paper advertising prepared by it for members to aaslat them In rebuild-ing public confidence and good will lo their communltlea.

OPERATORSONCERELAYEDTOLLTELEPHONECALLS

Voice WoiMi't Carry 100 liles bj Wire in tbe Eirlj Days

ii tbe Paibaidle State

In tbe "Gay Nineties" there waa not much long distance telephoning. It was not until 1892 that New York and Chicago were connected by tele-phone; and not until three years later that New York first spoke to S t Louis, and St. Louis to Chicago, by wire.

In many statea, long diltance talking was confined to state limits; as, for example, Texaa. In Texas the toll lines In the early 90'8 measured only 1,230 miles; little more than It would take to atring a circuit In a straight line from one corner ot the siate to another.

Batter Service, Greater Uaa Today, this circuit mileage ot

1,230 baa increased to 170,000, and another 40,000 miles are ready tor uae In Inter-clty toll cablea In Texas. Par t ot tbe Increaaed toll uaage since 1890 Is due to the Increaae In population, but a large part baa been due to development and re-search work on the part ot Bell Sys-tem engineers, and to Increaaed usage per capita because ot tha consequent great Improvement to service.

In 1890, Texas had only about 4,600 telephones, aa compared with a total ot about 680,000 today. The Texaa toll lines ot 1890 ran only be-tween points within the state and

there were no connections with ex-changes beyond tbe Texas borders.

Connaetlona Were "Built Up" Not only was tbe circuit mileage

small, but In comparison with pres-ent-day standards it waa difflcalt to put calla through. If one wanted to talk from Dallas to Waco, a distance of approximately 100 miles, the Dal* las operator had to get the operators a t Lancaster, Waxahachle and Hills-boro In turn to route the circuit through their offlces before Waco could be reached. When Waco final-ly was on tbe line, the Dallaa party could not talk to Waco even then because tbe distance was too g rea t

What usually happened In auch a case waa that the Waxahachle operator, near the middle ot the cir-cuit, atayed on the line and relayed tbe conversation In both directions. That la quite in contrast with condi-tions today, when the human voice, by meana ot telephone wires and overseaa radio telephone circuits, baa actually gone around the world clearly and without dtfllculty.

OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY l Y 12,000-MILE CALL

A Cincinnati man, on a trip around the world, did not forget his parenta' wedding anntveraary, although at the time tbe steamship waa off tho Island ot Java. By meana ot a radio telephone conversation over a dis-tance ot 12.000 miles, the son greeted bis parenta and extended congrat» latlons.

M i l t mahr icks r injcers drummed with soft Impa-

tience on his desk. Then lie got up and for the tenth time stopped to listen at his open door.

No, she wasn't coming yet. Past nine now. Ruth Royal during these two years as his secretary In the Marrlck Advertising agency never had been late. Until this morning.

For months he had been like a timid swimmer atop a springboard, but with Insufficient courage to take the actual leap. And now It was as though he had positively cast off by proxy. Because of yester-day; yesterday, when he had walked flrmly out and bought an expensive engagement ring.

He wrote a letter then and placed tt Inside the velvet case be-neath the ring.

Now, how to get it to her? It was like a votes from Paradise, when on the way out at Ave, Ruth said, "My mother's with me for a week. She's keen to meet the man I'm working for. Couldn't you drop Into the apartment?"

Some one said, quietly; "M'.ss Ruth, the coffee's served."

And Milt decided that when the ladles preceded him to the dining room he would place the precious box on her pillow as he parsed Ruth's bedroom door where she would discover It.

He had not slept, thinking of Ruth and of Joe Allerton—he'd seen them together lately more than enough.

The electric light button clicked In the adjoining room I

Instantly Milt's eyes focused on the connecting door. His heart leapt Hke a racehorse taking final hurdles In competition with other aspirants. He yearned for the light of acquiescence on her face. Some one was with her. "Let It he any-one but Allerton," he prayed.

"It 's serious. Ruth." The voice was low, secretive; and Milt knew that voice—Joe Allerton's. "We've simply got to get together," (he failed to catch the next pleading words but read his own suspicions Into them) "otherwise the bottom will drop out of everything."

• • • 0 0 0 •

After a curt "Good morning,^ she said firmly: "Let's get these orders straightened out first, I've had so many complaints about mis-takes—"

And suddenly he was alone again when the door opened gently. Some one peeped In, then entered noiselessly.

Mllfs face paled. " W h y - A n n e 1" His eyes were gray clouds. "You I" Whal have yon come here for?"

"I'm glad you're going to marry her, Mllr. Any girl would give her cars to marry you. You've always been so fine, staunch." She hesi-tated as though her throat were blocked. "Only—she doesn't know y e t "

"You see. Milt, It's my one bad habi t I'll always steal. Because I can't seem to help It, somehow. I took Miss Royal's ring; found It on the pillow when I went in to turn the bed down. I go from place to place, you know. But I left there this morning."

An aching void for the girl he had once adored gaped In Milt's gentle h e a r t He had helped her so many times to escape punish-ment

Anne opened her purse, took out the square-cut purple box with rev-erent care; put It safely Into Milt's bands. It was only then that her dark eyes misted. "Don't do It this way. Milt," she begged. "I m e a n -not the writing p a r t Tell her. She'll like It better, Milt It seems sort of cowardly to do It this way."

Milt looked hard Into her thin face. "Thank you, Anne," be said with difficulty. "I will."

Suddenly he straightened up to fals full six feet and slapped his thumb over the buzzer mightily.

Ruth came running In. Her eyes were red, strained. Without a doubt she had been crying.

"Come here. Ruth. What's the matter?"

Her lips quivered. "Oh, every-thing that was ever the matter In the whole worlds The business Is

goTng To ruin and you c a h l see— can't see—"

"—the reason why." he supplied In a thick certain voice. "Well— this Is I t l" His arms closed tight about her. "This Is why I"

"Oh, Milt," she was saying breathlessly, "what's the matter with you? This curious hedge you seemed to have around you! I felt you cared about me. but somehow we couldn't get through to one an-other."

He kissed her hand. "We have now," he said triumphantly.

"And all the time you were get-t ins more absent-minded than ever. Sending the wrong material o u t Mixing up the merchandise; making clients mad until .Ion Allerton and I were almost beside ourselves. Only this morning Joe aald the bottom would fall out of everything unless we could do something; get together--"

"So, that 's what Joe wa.i saying! That I was going d a f t " He kissed her again. "My sweet brown bird!" There waa a roguish gleam In his eye. "The hedge la down—and the Marrlck agency still f loa t s -wi th you a t the helm!"

TELLS HOW BANKS AIDED PROGRESS

Economist Describes the Ways Local Institutions Have Con-tributed to Business Growth

OMAHA. Nebr.—Privately owned banking, despite Its faults, has served Amcrlca well. William A. Ir-win, Professor of Economics. Wash burn College, Topeka, Kansas, de-clared in a recent address here on "Banking lu a Changing World."

"Under the leadership of Individu-als banking has helped to bring this country to a foremost place In econ omlc development among the na lions of the world." he said. "The small community has been de ve|oped by the Individual bank. The frontiers of America have been pushed forward by the help and counsel of the Individual banker. The shocks of wars and depressions In a century and a half have been withstood with the assistance of the Individual banker.

"It may be that we have reached a tide In the affairs of America when new methods ara needed. It may e that we have come o a point where tbe Individual should be submerged for ' the greatest good ot the great-est number.'

II Chia |a Is Nectuary "It may even be that complete

centralliatlon of the banking sys-tem has become an economic neces slty In our complicated social life. But the banker ought to be satlafled that these things are so before he should give up hla light for the sys-tem we have known. We came to greatness under that kind of bank-ing; we should not give It up with-out unmistakable proof of the abso-lute necessity ot auch a change."

Profeisor Irwin sa'd that the pro-posal which has been advanced for co-ordinating banking operations In the national Intereat un^er "a 'Supreme Court' for ban l l g Is typically American- and ought to have the most serious consideration of those elements which are clamor-ing for political control, which is typicall. un-American." It is not wise, ho said, to oppose change as such, but that bankers should "aee to It that change, If and when It does come, shall preserve all that Is good In the past and stick aa close-ly as pusslblu lu ihu American pat-tern of things."

Banking la properly a conserva-tive profession, he pointed out, and should cling to practices and prin-ciples of banking that are, and al-ways have been, funudamentally aound.

"It la to Ha credit that so large a group of tta members never faltered, even In boom times, in their allegl ance to those sound principles," he declared. "We probably owe our salvation from chaoa to that f a c t "
