earth for Sixteen Thousand years. The total of his pay roll would amount to $8, 409, 600, GOO. co. In other words, he would have a bank balance that would enable him to continue his good work for couple of thousand years into the future. In a nut shell, all of the people of the earth would have been either spendthrifts or bond clippers. That is the meaning of Nine Billions of Dollars scattered over a period of Seventeen Thousand years. Now crowd the entire Nine Billions of Dollars into twelve months, and go out and tell your neighbor, if you have the conscience to do so. that there will be a lack of prosperity in this country and no opportun- ity to make money during the next twelve or fifteen months.

SOMETHING LARGE

Do you know what is meant by the announcement recently made by Secretary McAdoo, that s9 OOO, GOO, ,000.00 would be spent by the government and our allies within the United States during the next year?
 Do you know what Nine Bill lions signifies? It means this: If a man had commenced work the day Christ was born, the birth of the Christian era, 1916 years ago, and received a salary of $500 for every MINUTE of time from the moment of His birth to twelve o'clock Midnight, December 31, 1916, including an extra day for leap year every four years, he would have re- ceived $8,061, 914, 880.00 or $938, 085, 120.00 less than the snm which will be scattered broad cast during the next twelve months among the one hundred and five millions of people of the United States
 If you do not believe 1t, here are the figures: There are 526, 600 minutes in a year. Add an extra twenty-four hours for leap year every four years, and mul- tlply by 1916 years and you have l,007, 739, 360 minutes. Think of It. Only One Billion. seven mil lion, seven hundred thirty nine thousand, three hundred and sixty minutes in the entire Christian era of 1916 years.
 Reverse the problem by begin nlng at the present date and spreading the proposed expendi- ture of nine billions of dollars over the past ages at the rate of One Dollar for every minute of tlme, and the calculation would take you back something over seventeen Thousand years.
 Do you begin to understand what a Billion Dollars is? It isl pleasure prospect to contem- plate. We like it. Therefore, let us fancy a man of bygone ages who controlled the gasoline market, or had a Henry Ford in come Sixteen Thousand years ago, and made it his business to ulstrlbute One Dollar bills every minute of his time, night and oay, to all of the people of the

ONE BAD SPOT.

A ccEPTING the prediction that Congress will dis.
pose of the army bill before the close Of the present
week accurate it is safe to say that matters will
be moving much more rapidly before very long. The
speed with which the British commissioners are getting
along with the business which brought them to this country
indicates that there little likelihood of delay in arranging
the cooperation between this government and the Entente
nations essential to the speedy termination of the war
and the attainment Of ends With the army bill pass
ed and the basic financial legislation out of the way there
scarcely any way in which Congress could further hold
up Developments if it wanted to, and it is fair to
assume that every department will work at top speed when
the way is cleared
