THE prompt adoption by the Am
i erican people of the business
as usual" idea is going to enable
this nation to prosecute this war
without experiencing a temporary
depression such as England and
France have recently recovered from.
Modern war requires the expendi-
ture of huge sums of money and
means maximum employment and
high wages for all workers. Other
conditions, peculiar to this war,
make it certain that this nation will
enjoy a period of business and in
dustrial activity the like of which
has never been seen and which is
assured whether the war lasts sew
eral months or several years.
There is some reason to believe
that economy rules will be misap-
piled for awhile, but conditions are
such that the public will soon see,
if they have not already, that there
is no occasion whatever for them to
become alarmed. They will nave
more money to spend than ever be-
fore and they will not find the things
they want disappearing from the
market.
A continuation of the great pros
perity that has ruled in this coun-
try for two years is assured. There
is an abnormal demand for every
thing the workers of this nation can
grow or manufacture. There is work

woman who wants work; the earn
ing power of the people is restricted
only by physical limitations; the
buying power of the public is greater
than ever before. These are certain
guarantees of continued prosperity
and of an widening scope nf
our business and industrial life.
AS to the advancing of billions Of
dollars to our allies, it is a misnomer
to call it loan to our allies. We
are primarily extending them credit.
Instead of sending billions of dollars
out of the country, the transaction
means that billions of dollars will
actually be freed for circulation in
this country. Practically all of the
billions we lend our allies will be
spent in this country for the prod
ucts of our soil and our factories
and for payment of our workers.
We are the storehouse and the far-
tory of the world now, and the more
money the world can get hold of
the more will be sent here, and the
more that comes here the more work
And, in this connection, remember

KEEP BUSINESS MOVING
SPEAK, OUR coUN1RTs
KEEP BUSINESS GOING
For Our Country's sake

War duties and war expenditures
must be in ADDITION to peace
duties and peace expenditures. The
more we do the more we CAN do.
The more money we spend the more
we will have in our pockets to spend.
Money creates money.
In a word: the natural sane life
of the country must proceed as
though we were not at war, in order
that we may have the necessary
prosperity to promote the war to a
quick and successful conclusion.
President Wilson sounds the key
note in this sentence: 1T is evil
dent to every thinking man that our
industries, on the farm, in the ship
yard, in the mines, in the factories,
must be made more prolific and more
efficient"
Our industries can be made more
prolific only if the people buy and
use the merchandise produced by our
industries. Manufacturing slackens
when business slackens. Manufac-
turing grows in prolific way when
business grows. And business can
grow and remain healthful only
when the people buy and keep
money in circulation.
BUSINESS is GOING-STRONG
Business is going-in the East,
the West, the North, the South.
The country is prosperous. Last
months increase in business was
very large. Banks may wait in their
operations until the government
bonds are assimilated. People may
pause temporarily in their Quitting
to arrange to meet the new con-
ditions. But the unloosing of bill
lions of dollars will unloose a flow
of prosperity absolutely necessary to
sustain the worlds burden.
Governments set the pace in their
expenditures.
Individuals must not lag behind.
Seven billions of dollars to pay is
only $40 per capita in the United
States. Yet seven billions of dollars,
put to work at 6 per cent.-a fair
estimate of the producing power Of
money-wil create APO millions of
new wealth.
The income tax we pay will not
be tax on prosperity, but a spur
to prosperity. Every dollar the in
dividual pays out will come back to
him with interest in the general
prosperity of the people.
our country's sake. War
Without the sineWs of Uar.

0UR country prosperous can pay
~ our war costs as they come, and
have enough left over to aid our
Allies.
Our country unprosperous, with
business hating, money boarded,
through fear or false economy, will
be hard pressed to keep food on the
table and clothing on the back.
KEEP BUSINESS GOING
is a patriotic slogan. Keep money
in circulation. Keep employment for
everybody. Keep wages good. Keep
on making money that we may have
money to spend for war sacrifices.
The worst thing that could hap
pen to the world these days would
be a business depression in our
United States.
War in itself does not cause bust
ness depression.
The billions of dollars of money
to be expended in war preparations
will be put into circulation in our
own country and this in itself will
create new wealth for use in the
world-struggle for humanity.
The one thing that might halt bus
mess now is an unpatriotic psyche
logical feeling of panic and a false
idea of patriotic economy.
PATRIOTIC ECONOMY
Patriotic economy means the elm
ination of waste and extravaganza.
1t means the conservation of our
food products, our natural wealth,
our health, our enc gies, our labor,
our very lives. 1t means putting
more efficiency in everything we do
so that each unit of money, energy
and intelligence may accomplish the
utmost.
Patriotic economy does not mean
the lowering of Americas standard
of living, which would make us less
efficient physically and mentally,
nationally and individually, and
would kill the spirit and the will to
do the truly self-sacrifcing things
to be done.
Cities and communities must 60
on with their civic improvements.
Road building and public works
must proceed. Railroads must re-
new their equipment. Factories must
be kept going to their full capacity.
Labor must be employed. Homes
must be kept up. Merchandise must
be produced, distributed and used.
Keep business going---for
cannot be Udged and won

Finley has a generous crowd of men
who held their hay.
"Twenty dollars" was their cry. eve

When winter came ahead of time, these
fellows all went wild.
"Hay'll be worth as much as wheat.
Mark what I'm saying, child"
The days went by and no one sold, and
prices mounted high;
Fifteen dollars f. o. b., and awfully
hard to buy.
Wild tales of starving cattle didn't
warm the growers heart.
"My price is twenty dollars-you can
take it all or part"
The buyers slowly disappeared - the
days got mild and warm.
maybe we'd best take fifteen now,
there may not be storm"
But when they went to sell their hay,
there was no one to buy.
They dropped to fourteen, thirteen,
twelve, but still they were too
high.
And then along came grounding day;
that pesky little pet
Came out and saw his shadow, making
six weeks winter yet.
When they heard the news the grow
ers grinned- their mouths were
shaped like this:
But George Lee said "Now spring has
come" and then they turned to
this:
The days got warm and warmer still
the grass grew green and tall.
They simply couldn't help it, but they
let their faces fall:
Last Friday night it began to snow
Oh. Glory, Joy and Bliss!!
They picked their faces up again
their mouths were shaped like
this.
A nor'west blizzard then set in will
wind and cold and all.
Next day the telephones were hot

"Hay1l go to twenty dollars yet. Nov
aren't you glad you held?"
"You bet we are. Well josh those
guys who sold," the others yelled

Their mouths are shaped like this
again, for here comes a chinook
The wind died down, the clouds went
by, the night was cold and bright
Their faces Strengthened out again
with the approaching night.
Monday morn at a. m, it started in
to snow.
The sky was dark and cloudy and their
faces all looked so:
The snow soon ceased, the clouds went
by, the sun came out at eight,
And when the snow began to melt,
they set their faces straight.
And so it's been thruout the month as
prices make and break.
