THE BUSINESS FUTURE.

Probably there is no better
authority on trade and finance
in America than Theodore H..
Price. What Mr.. Price has to
say on any matter pertaining to
business carries great weight. In
recent issue Of Commerce and
Finance, lac writes as follows :
"In medicine the diagnosis
precedes the prognosis, and they
are entirely different things.
One is an examination and the
other is Il prediction based upon
ascertained facts. The doctor in
sists upon finding out what is
the matter with the patient be-
fore he will prophcsy regarding
his future.
Let us appl ythe same method
in trying to arrive at 4 sound
conclusion in regard to the bust
ness future of the United States,
now that the war is at an end.
We hear many direful predic-
tions. Wages and prices are go
ing to decline, there will be an
over-production and unemploy-
ment. Desperation will be the
result, and prosperity will be
succeeded by hard times.
Let us examine the facts.
What is now the matter with us!
Are we in bad health or suffer
ing from any serious malady? Ii
not, is there any reason why we
should persuade ourselves that
we are entering upon a decline
eve have, it is true, just
emerged from participation in a
world s war, but our material
gains from that war are greater
than our financial losses, and the
number Of soldiers killed or seri-
ously injured does not exceed
the normal mortality among the
four or five million men we have
had under arms. 1t is asserted
that the deaths caused by influ-
enza outnumber those that are
due to the war, but no one be-
lieves that the epidemic will
cause panic.
"0ur trade is now the largest

true of our bank deposits.
The purchasing power OF the
people is greater than ever be-
fore. their commercial Vigor and
imagination have been immense
" stimulated by a war which
has opened to us opportunities
abroad that were undreamed of
previously. Our credit machln-
cry has been SO improved that it
functions almost perfectly and
automatically. We hold more
gold than any other nation IN
the wolrd, and all Europe is IN
debt to us
"Thc diagnosis does not indi-
cate a diseased condition. Why,
then. should the prognosis be un-
favorable?
"It is true that some read
iustmcnts will be necessary as
we change over from the activi-
ties Of war to those Of peace, but
this change is one that has been
expected and generally prepared
for.
1T is also true that by con-
tinually talking about the immi-
ence Of hard times we may
create an illusion of them. Hy-
pochondra is well-defined and
autogenous, though not often a
fatal disease
"It would, however, appear to
be the only disorder that threat
ems us. and our resistance to il
ought to be great for mems Sana

FARM BUREAU AND THE
BOOSTERS

AT the Chamber Of Commerce
dinner last week an argument
of several years standing was
resumed and, as usual, it brought
forth a considerable volume OF
discussion in the course of which
various opinions were voiced.
We don It know how to style this
case better than to refer to it as
"Chamber Of Commerce vs. Farm
Bureau" "
Without digging up ancient
history or going into the 'hor-
riblc details" of the debate, we
WISH to offer a motion that this
ease be thrown out Of court. and
tllis for two reasons.
First. we cannot afford to let
any differences Of opinion over
minor matters stand in the way
OF the unity of action which is
necessary to make our Chamber
Of Commerce am effective organi-
cation. As entcrprising citizens,
eager to promote the best inter
csts Of the community, we should
be- broad minded enough to bury
amy pet notions which we may
have and to Fundamentally CO.
operate with our fcllow-citizens.
Second. the Farm Bureau, the
principal business Of which is to
assist in the maintenance OF the
county farm agent, is ncces-
Safy institution, recognized as
such by the federal government,
and as a progressive community
we cannot afford to fail to sup
port it, The county agent is per
forming service Of untold value
to the farming interests Of the
county. The business men ol
Chickasha are benefited by any
thing which promotes better
farming
The amount asked for Chicka.
Sha for the farm bureau is small

should promptly set aside the
sum required
