Predict Business Revival
An exhaustive investigation of fundamental business conditions throughout the United States has just been completed by one of the big banks of New York. The investigation involved the sending of an elaborate questionnaire, covering more than 30 aspects of the country's present business problems, to men of busintss and financial prominence in almost every large city and state in the union. Real prosperity will return to this country, practically all the business and financial men who answered the questionnaire agree : '
(1) When farm, ranch and mineral products can again be sold for at least the cost of
production, a large part of several of last year's entire national output of raw products being still
held in warehouses for higher prices or being
now in process of being sold at a serious loss.
(2) When railroads can be operated on
freight rates low enough to permit shippers to
sell in their merchandise at a profit.-
(3) When labor again, generally speaking, will do a maximum day's work, in full co-operation with employers, on a readjusted wage. (4) When readjusted retail commodity prices permit wage earners to live self-respect-ingly upon such readjusted wages. (5) When the post-war unemployed (class find and settle down into permanent usefulness. Reasons for optimism mentioned by the mer
chants, bankers and manufacturers in their
questionnaire answers are:
(1) Money, both here- and abroad, is now
much easier than during the last two years.
(2) The reserve ratio of the federal reserve
is steadily increasing.
(3) Labor difficulties in some states, at
least seem to be decreasing and the workers
seem to be readily co-operating in readjustment by earnestly rendering efficient service notwithstanding reduction in wages, realizing their responsibility to the general cause.
(4) The probable favorable outcome of President Harding's approaching disarmament conference. ' 7 (5) The hopeful possibility of lower freight rates. (6) The nation-wide economy policy of government, corporations and the general public. (7) The possibility that farmers and stockmen may be able to sell a good part of their products on good terms this autumn and that they will liquidate their debts. This will materially benefit manufacturers, bankers, merchants and wage-earners.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
OLD AS YOU FEEL. I know a lot of sprightly, men whose toll of years is weighty, for all have rassed three score and ten, and some are nearly eighty. They pass my cottage every day, on divers errands
spinning, and some are bald and all j are gray old gents who've had their)
inning. They've settled down beside the sea, where life is calm and easy, and here they'll dwell until they flee this vale so vain and cheesey. But they don't sit upon the sands and fchrink and sigh and shiver, and wait, and wait, with folded hands, the call to cross the river. They're up and coming all the time to give Old Age a trimming, and up the mountainsides they climb, and in the sea go swimming. In olden times the patriarchs sat waiting dissolution, and they were prone to grim remarks concerning retribution. When they'd achieved three score and nine, they felt their graft was ended, and each one then took in his sign, and to the shadows wended. But now the old boy won't pay die, or grant that he's a fogy; he'll ride an airplane to the sky, and fool with Colonel Bogie: he'll send his motor up the pike until the 6peed cops
nail him; this young old man I greatly!
like, and with much ardor hail him.
Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON
TODAY'S TALK By. George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" WHY BE IGNORANT? I understand why it is that knowledge and intelligence are 60 often pictured as a light. For the one who knows sees ahead! To be Ignorant Is always to tie handicapped In some way or other. - There are more mistakes made in this world through ignorance than through any other way. Most people are sorry for their mistakes and regret them. Many learn by them and grow bigger and better. But to be continuously ignorant is to live a tragic life. Why be ignorant? . ' " The mind is much like a sponge. It absorbs. But unlike the sponge, it retains what It absorbs, and thus lays up for emergencies and the proverbial days of rain, that which is able to Comfort and inspire. For a well stored brain is something that increases in value . as the years accumulate. Friends may leave you. Material failure iiay come. But the sweetened memories of the yesteryears and the thousand and one things which have helped to make you appreciative of beauty about you cannot be effaced from the mThd. And how remarkable the brain becomes when once stimulated to activity! The farmer boy becomes the business giant, the literary marvel, the political leader, the skilled engineer--the chap who everybody thought "never would amount to anything" looms as an inspirer of his time. Why? Because he sought to know because he didn't want to remain ignorant. The trained mind may win through a score of lanes. If one job is lost, another stands in waiting. Why be ignorant? "Why not learn all that you are able? You never know at what moment the particular thing you learn today may come in as an important link in some great scheme of achievement. Idleness is the father of ignorance. And time is more precious than gold. i Why be Ignorant?

It was not like this in the olden days ; That have gone beyond recall; In the rare old. fair old golden days, It was not like this at all. When the folks all saved from their salaries And laid aside much gold. And they lined their jeans With one-half their means In the days of old. Minister arrested in Bryant Park while watching a crap game. Detective leaped on his back and broke his
straw hat. But there was little harm done. The magistrate dismissed the case against him, and you can get a good, new, clean straw hat now for 97 cents. It is getting so the bandits will hold you up and take your roll without demanding 10 per cent extra for war tax. The other day we got a notice from the government that we owed two cents on the income tax. In paying the four installments in 1920 we took the half cent four times. We sent a two-cent stamp and received a receipt made out in due form. We are very glad to do this for Uncle Sam. as he is a good old scout at that, but how much was it that the late lamented shipping board spent?
