Are Times HardP

Editor Chapman of the Indianola En-
terprise recently published an able edi-
torial on Hard Times" and the causes
which bring about this cry that sweeps
over the country periodically. His
contention is that in every calling a
few years of unusual prosperity pro
duces reckless expenditure that is not
warranted by prevailing conditions.
He recites the fact that an average
clerk in store receives from $50 to S75
per month, and the mad rush to shine
in society and gallop with the gang,
spends more than that amount and Is
found crying hard times. Men of all
professions are found in the same boat
and they chorus in with hard luck cries.
Even the farmers get the contagion,
and when many of them have expert
enced few years of good crops and
fair prices forget that every day the
sun does not shine, and go beyond their
means in many ways, joining the hard
times band when the seasons are not
good and prices are low.
1t has ever been thus. A year OF
prosperity causing lapse OF memory
concerning the bad years passed and
the bad ones developing forgetfulness
of the good ones that have been expert
enced. Mississippi has likely felt the
general depression in business circles
as whole less than any state in the
Union, and it is possible that it might
have felt it even less If such advice as
that given by Editor Chapman had
beer generally needed.
Our country is largely what we make
of II, and when we live one year as an
integral part of ten, depressions and
"hard times" will come only to the few
who do not adopt and put into execu-
ton such methods.
