One day a friend of his. a fisherman now deceased, came up town and said that he had.been fishing with a hand line He felt a tug on his line .and whatevei it was, it would only run a little way and stop. This was repeated several times. Finally the fisher gave a tremendous pull <>n the line and brought up a beer keg. In the beer keg was a four pound bass. Upbn being asked how such a t-iu fish ever got int- the keg. the fisherman said that he beliexed that h bass entered the keg ti bunghole when small, and lived am. grew in the keg until it WM caught.

And I know of no better plan to revive activity in a depression than to spend a proper volume of past savings to keep the momentum of business going. But vnless there are savings tw prosperity there cannot be spending during depression. Those who practiced this plan durins the past peri< d of prosperity h ive a security and a protection again>t present adversity that could be provided in no other way. Those who did not are the ones who are how most dependent upon others, ft there had been more preaching of this doctrine when it was more feasible to put It into effect than it is now. there would be less depression and less financial insecurity today.

Christmas red and white may’ be carried out to the last detail, down to red star place cards, giant stickers and even the ruddy’ tomato : juice cocktails for an opening course.

While many 1 have seen their earnings fail, there I are millions xvho. have not suffered so seriously, in respect to the real purchasing power of. their Incomes. If ■ we listened t> all the s are storier f the day. one might get the Impres that < job and nobody's business was earning j anything. Many of our people xvho j are able t > continue a normal program <»f prudent buying are curtailing their expenditures beyond reason. A Business Stimulus The sum total of this unreasonable curtailnjent. of spending is an economic influence contributing to the stagnation of trade. By the opposite token, 1 believe the resumption of .normal spending on the part of those who are able to do so would be an important tonic toward the stimulation of trade. I do not mean by this that we should have indiscriminate spending merely for the sake of spending, but the very motive potter of our economic life is the interchange of goods, and unless we have tfea*. we ....... perfty. I strongly believe that we are at | that point in the depression stage of the business cycle that any sound •timuiating influence will start a real . movement in the direction of a return toward prosperity So much of the weakness of the old state of affairs has been liquidated, so many maladjustments erected and such large ■ volumes of ojjr consumers’ goods have been used up or worn out that the pressure of necessitous purchases must sooner or later be felt. When that time definitely comes we' may consider it the first impulse of a new era of normal business, .. . ■ When Government Aids Agriculture Demand for relief, agricultural or otherwise, conies naturally from those who j feel most keenly the impact of eco , nomic pressure. Those most affected fly quickly to government for aid. But too frequently agencies set in operation-by governments simply postpone inevitable. readjustments. The basic laws of tipply and demand have never been permanently and successfully set ■ ervention that artificially stimulates rices or even maintains them when ’he prevailing eo mniic situation obviously shows that readjustments are inevitable are expedients that yield only temporary relief rather than permanent cure.

As a general rule* it does not pay the farmer to haul produce with ■ his own truck for distances of more > than 7.5 miles, says the bureau.
