GETTING BUSINESS GLOOM BEHIND US By ROME C STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association TWERE is such a thing as over-stay- * ing a depression just as there 1b of over-staying a boom. Over-lconfl-

-dence makes the great majority miss the turn in a boom, and un-der-confidence makes them miss it in a depression. A leading New York banker was asked recently when he could teH that a turn fer the better bad come. ‘‘About three months after it has hap-

R. C STEPHENSON ! >

pened,” he candidly feplied. There is more significance in that remark than appears on the surface. As more and more manufacturers and business men realize that the turn has already come and that they are overstaying the time to adopt constructive policies, they begin cautiously to press their selling campaigns, to speed up their production, to enlarge their working forces and increase their commitments for supplies. It is the gathering weight of their influences that finally raises the pressure ot confidence to the- dynamic power of recovery. The surest way to bring, the natioh out of the business depression is to raise the pressure of public confidence to the point of becoming such a dynamic force. It has invariably been the push of" that force which has started recovery in the past, and it is the gathering power of this force which will Etart recovery from this present depression. -% It is a favorable sign of the times that there seejns to he general agreement that the bottom o? the depression has been reached and all eyes are pooled and looking ahead for the first indications that the turn for the better is in sight. Who knows hut what the first thing wfe know we will find ourselves looking backward instead of forward as we realize that the turn has already come. It is a rough and rocky road that runs across the bottom of the valley of business depression, and most of us are too busy steering the'oid Ford from hump to bump to be able to take in all the -scenery. So who knows but what some important changes in the landscape are already taking place BANKERS FAVOR GRADUAL CHANGE ! i National Commission Believes Local Sentiment Should Govern Evolution in Methods of Conducting Banking. | fF substantial changes are to b<s A brought about in branch banking in the United States they should origi- ! uate within the states rather than j from Washington on inter-state lines I as proposed in “trade area” branch l banking plans, a retu nt report of the [ Economic Policy Go amission of the Am rtcan Bankers Association deit adds, “should ] develop by evolutionary rather TOan | revolutionary,stages.” ,1 I “The extension of branch banking' through state action would riiean/fnat | states not now’ permitting state banks | to have branches or else closely re- | striding them, would individually lib- ; aralize their laws, as an expression of ] changing local desires aqd conditions, and thte doubtless would insure a deliberate, eyoiulionary process,” the re-j:port-says. “The other method, that is. through Federal action, would mean a [ sweeping change for the country as I a whole, for legislation granting branch banking powers to national banks in all states, regardless of local of course, induce equivalent breach banking enactments in eve»4s*>> in the Union not now ready wanting -state banks to hare branches, in order to keep them on a "competitive equality. Upholds State Privileges “We find s< me bankers who feel that a proper stimulus to the development of branch banking would be given by, the Federal Government taking the initiative through granting , broader privileges within state lines I to national banks than they now en- j joy. It is argued that state govern-.' ments could then follow suit as to i state banks and that in this way a j more progressive branch banking at- I titude might be promoted by the na- j tional banks taking the lead. While j we do riot deny that there may be some merit in this View as to some j specific localities, we stand firm never- , theless an the principle that no such < grant ou powers to national. hanks j should crass state lines, or exceed the j that state legislatures could | and would grant to their state hanks, j “Moreover we believe that If the • choice between these two possible j courses of extending branch hanking were put up to bankers they would . be generally opposed to any forcible ! Imposition of branch hanking on the 1 states through the medium of the national hank system. We believe it would be preferable for any change j to come about through the more grad- j ual and democratic method of the states granting their banks branch , banking powers state by state where, ! if, and as local conditions and sent! ] ment might be ready for a change. 1 * ' I o MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Mr. Willard H*rr and Miss Maxine [ 'C ■ Brock, both of Nappanee, were mar- [ ried Saturday afternoon by the Rev. j J.

GARRICK GIVES RATIONS FOR WIDER USE OF WHEAT In response to repeated requests for information regarding to feeding of more wheat than usually included in poultry rations, Prof. C. W. Carrie, head of jthe Purdue UniI yersity poultry department recently suggested three rations which have been tested arid found satisfactory. Prof .Carrick reminded the associa-, | tion members that the rations suited ! the farmer who has plenty of home i j grown wheat and who has either a i ' grinder on the farm or has easy ac-' | cess to one. If the*ingredients must be bought, no real economy is offer-] ed by substituting the following | formula for mixtures heretofore recommended, although the price variations may change this, he said.; Here are the rations; Chick Starter—l ;o It weeks old Ground wheat' 575 lbs Meat scraps j. 100 lbs Dried buttermilk lbs Alfalfa leaf meal 20 lbs! Keep water available at all tinies. Get chicks outside in direct suri- ! light when 10 to 12 days old. Give i no scratch grain. Do not use ration 1 for chicks that must be reared in ; confinement. Keep birds outdoors whenever possible. I . r Growing Ration 19 to 20 weeks Grain, whole wheat ; __ 500 lbs’ Mash: Ground wheat 400 lbs Meat scraps. 7(0 lbs. Alfalfa leaf meal __ __ 3fo lbs Keep water before birds kt all times. Feed whole wheat and mash in separate hoppers. If about equal | weight of wheat and mash arfe not eaten, '* cover the feed oveijconSumed until proper ration has been attained. ■ ! ; I j Laying Ration. Grain, whole corn 500 lbs Mash: Ground Wheat A I 3&0 lbs Meat Scraps 1. 90 lbs Alfalfa leaf meal __i_ ____ 60 lbs Feed 12 pounds corn per 100 general purpose fowls each evening or 10 pounds for Leghorns. Keep mash, oyster shell and water before birds at ail times. To provide Vitamine D in fall and winter, give fowls access to outside range during afttemobns and all day in warm weather.; When n excellent pasturage, omit alfalfa leaf meal. — © Friday the Thirteenth Still Considered “Jinx” With all the Wealth of fact and philosophy at his command man continues to be a victim of superstition, forcing himself to accept inconveniences and endure suffering because of a fear , complex. The old superstitious fear (hat Friday is an unlucky day, and, if Friday falls on the thirteenth day of the month, it is a jinx filled with danger and probable disaster to mankind. comes into evidence continually in the modern times. The baseless fear of Friday probably was born of Witchery and ignorance. hut the fear of the thirteenth day of the month may have hafl its origin in more modern times. The spread of human intelligence should have eliminated both fears from the minds of man but it has not. Recently a great ocean lirier was delayed for hours in leaving New ■ York so that the trip might he started on the fourteenth day of the month, and not on Friday, the thirteenth. Officials scoffed at the superstition, but admitted that t here had been, a clamor .from passengers to accept the delay and escape the supposed jinx. Tpere is room for more public education so long as people display this feat! complex. — t)hio o State Journal. TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD

BENTON BUREAU’S MEETING ENJOYED The Benton township Farm Bureau met Jan. 28 at the Hex school house. The meeting opened with a community sing lead by Mrs. Pence. This was followed by prayer by Mrs. (Charles Weybright. j In the absence Os the secretary, jthe president, Ralph Vail, gave a [brief report of the last meeting. ■ He introduced H. L. Plummer, who spoke on “The Value W the-Farm I Bureau.” He described some of the benefits coming j directly through ,the bureau and strongly insisted on j a better organization to meet emergencies which are arising in the matter of taxation, and other interests Two readings were given by Fred Kerner of Elkhart township farm bureau. This township presented the one act play: “This way out” which was enjoyed by the crowd of 1(K who attended the meeting. The next meeting of the Benton jpwnship group will be held in the | Juday school, Feb. 25. Entertainmenl i will be furnished by Union township. j | ; -— 0 First Wireless Valve Was Edison Discovery j Many years ago Edison was experi- ; meriting with electric lamps, trying to discover how the blackening of the in- * side of the bulbs came about in those of the old carbon type. He found that if a plate of metal was sealed into the bulb and electrified positively, a current passed through the vacuum from the filaniedt to this plate. He noticed 1 that the ejarrent always traveled from the filament to the plate; nothing Could make a current pass in the opposite direction. He thought nothing of the discovery, and no use could be found for it, for it was many years before wireless was to ! be heard of. Before we can hear anything of wireless signals the wave* must be rec- ] titled. Each wave consists of a pusli i of current in one direction followed by i a pull in the other. Rectification means ; straining out the pulls and leaving only the pushes. All early methods of doing this were complicated and unsatisfactory. Then Prof. J. A. Fleming had an inspiration, He made the first wireless valve In which a filament andfa plate were placed in a vacuum inside a glass bnlb. The. Edison effect was for j the valve would respond only to the i pushes and automatically eliminated the pulls. But for the invention of the valve there would have been no broadcasting today.—London Tit-Bits. Ii ■ . ! > Edison Dragged From Workshop to Wedding Thomas A. Edison was so preoccupied with his laboratory work that he nearly missed his second wedding. This Was recalled by Mrs. Franklin Ives, whosy father, the late Benjamin Frankfin Card, was associated with the great inventor for more than 30 years, says an article in the Brooklyn Eagle. “The story of Edison’s second wedding was one of my father's favorite recollections of him,” Mrs. Ives said. “Edison was hard at work on a problem in his laboratory just before the 'wedding. He had become so preoccupied that he had quite forgotten time. “Fifteen minutes before the appointed hour his ‘best man’ found him there utterly absorbed. He begged the Inventor to dress and hurry to the wedding. Edison protested that he was on the verge of a great discovery and Wouldn’t possibly leave. Finally, alj most by main force, his ‘best man’ sueJ ceeded in dressing him and getting him /to the church —a little late and still l preoccupied, but at least acquiescent.”

F. Edgertoa and published by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago shows that Egyptian marriages could be dissolved at the will of either the husband or the wife. Furthermore, provision was sometimes made for “trial" marriages—that Is, marriages which were in force only for a definite period, agreed upon in advance. There was no ceremony, the study says, and no license to be obtained from either church or state. * Take Squeaks Out of Stairs Squeaking stairs are an abomination, but if the underside Is accessible you may remove the squeak, which occurs between the tread and the riser, by driving glutekfipped wedges Into the joints.
