THE YEAR 1914

1914 will be remembered as year
of industrial revolution. The year
that marked the beginning OF busl-
ness reconstruction and constructive
business. The close of the year sees
"big'' business in state OF GONZALES
Gene 1t is slowly recuperatlng from
the severe treatment it was forced
to undergo at the hands Of legislative
bodies. Never before, in the history
of American industry, have small en-
terprises had better and greater
opportunity thrust upon them than
now pesents itself.
The recent business depression is
YOUR cue to act. Build up-build with
increasing business advance with
prosperity-and when 1915 brings a
triumphant close to well rewarded
effort the pages of your ledger will
tell you pleasant story. Then you
can smile and say, yes, 1914 was the
greatest year | ever knew.

HAPPY MOTHERHOOD

Thehappinessof motherhood istoooften
checked because the mother strength is
not equal to her cares, while her unselhsh
devotion neglects her own health.
1t is a duty of husband or friend to see
that she gets the pure medicinal nourish-
ment in SCOTS Emulsion, which is not
a drug or stimulant but natures con-
centrated oil-food tonic to enrich and en-
liven the blood, strengthen the nerves and
aid the appetite. Physicians everywhere
prescribe SCOTS Emulsion for over
worked, nervous, tired women; it builds
up and holds up their strength.

THE MEANING OF TERMS

1t is impossible to discuss economic
problems intelligently unless a defin-
ite meaning is given each weird used,
This is not so easy as ii may seem.
The great majority are not educated
to fine definitions. but even those who
have been may lose the faculty Of diff
Terminating because OF disuse. Besides,
there is the language Of the street,
which makes no attempt to use the
right word, so long as another one
will answer the purpose of trade
Probably the most abused word in
the English language in talking on
economic subjects, is profit. The
druggist makes a profit" of 1000 per
cent; the real estate dealer closes "A
trade that returns him profit of
100 per cent-and both actually lose
money Why? Because the drug
gists profit" includes rent. clerk hire,
heating and lighting. insurance. and
other necessary expenses in carrying
on the business. And the real estate
man carried that particular piece of
unproductive property for many years
losing interest on the purchase price
and all the time paying taxes.
Then there is land, labor, capital, all
OF them often ineXtricably mixed.
Sometimes ability Is called capital;
Others insist on saying that land is
capital. And how many think that
paper money is wealth? All these
words have distinct meanings. For
example, land is everything in the
nature OF natural resources-the soil
and the water and the elements;
labor is human eXertion applied to
natural resources; wealth is the pro-
duet Of human exertion; and capital
is that part of wealth used TO produce
more wealth. While these definitions
are simple. they are important 10 re-
member To call land or ability cap
ital or to say that capital is labor, is
a mixture Of contradictory terms To be
avoided.
Socialists fall into the error OF call
ing land owners Capitalists. A land
owner may also be a capitalist, but
not because of his ownership Of land.
The income he derives from the own
ership OF land is the fruit OF monop-
oily; what he obtains from the use of
his capital is more correct to call in
terest.

WHERE LAND VALUES ARE

Just to calm those who think farm
ers own most OF the land values in
the country and would be hardest hit
by the land value tax. we call your
attention to a sale OF a lot between
Eighty eighth and Eighty-ninth
streets on Broadway, New York city.
Jacob Axelrod bought this 24,500
square feet of the City Investing Com
pany recently for $4,000. This lot
contains just trine over half an acre
-.564 to be exact II contains some
old buildings and a coal yard. No
value is placed upon them for they
are to be torn down and new build
ing erected IL is pure land value,
which would buy $500 acres of farm
land worth $3.50 per acre.
Oh, no, the farm land values are
not equal TO the city land values by
long way, and it would be silly TO
suppose that under single or land
value tax, the farmers would bear
heavier burden than the city real es-
tate owners
Land worth s1,462, 765 per acre as
is this New York property is worth
it only because if its situation. 1t is
made valuable by population. The
people give il this value. Why should
not the people get some of that value
instead .of the man who has done
nothing TO create it? This is "unearn-

THE PROFITS OF GARDENING

The motives that persuade the
householder TO start in spring a back
yard garden are perhaps more philo-
sophical than mercenary. Many men
have contemplative and pastoral lik-
ing for seeing things grow" The
culture of infant beans and potatoes
offers something Of the same pleas
ure that comes from raising babies
or dogs The battle with pests and
obdurate soils is a game of wits. When
the harvest is reached there is a salts
faction in your good mess of garden
truck" not to be had from any vege-
tables bought of the grocer.
The cost of food has reached point
where the money motive ought also TO
tempt good many people who possess
back yard to raise a garden. Ii is
often said that these little home pat
ches do not pay. that after you have
