Once upon u time there was a young
woman She was very good looking
and had an attractive personality.
When she was a little Ngirl every
body coddled and humored her Her
mother was so fond of her that she
seldom allowed her TO do anything
for herself.
Her clothes, whenever she got a
tear in them, were mended by her
mother Her room was kept in order
by maid, and even when she was
very small she learned to expect
everything to come easy to her.
She had only to say the word or
MAXI wish, and it was granted.
When she was old enough to be
taken out with her parents and
friends, she always chose the most
expensive foods on the menu and
suggested such entertainment as
always necessitated the expenditure of
money.
And when on occasions she did not
get her way. she would pout about
ii and make everybody about her UNI
comfortable.
Now this was all very well during
the period of childhood, but the young
woman grew up, as children do.
She began to choose her own
friends, and as she HAD never been
always selected such individuals as
had the purchasing power for her
pleasures
She exacted so much and never
seemed happy unless considerable
money was spent when in her COM
pany. Neither did she fail to ask for
every luxury that she could possess.
Now it happened that along came o
man who had spent great dead OF
time in other lands-much of 1t in the
interest OF aiding the government IN
very interesting inventions.
He had worked very. very hard
and when the war broke out had
earned worth while honors in the
thick of the fight
So when he returned and was intro
duced In the particular little crowd in
which this spending girl belonged,
he was considerably lionized, but It
was snid that he had very little money.
Strange to say. in the course of
human events oppositcs do meet, And
this man of simple habits and tastes
met the girl who was never happy
unless a lot of money was spent on
her.
And also strange to say Miss

There are a lot of people who be-
lieve they know just how to settle
everything in the world. They would
abolish capital and have the pro
letarlat" 40 everything, own every
thing, direct everything. Thhese peo-
pie have no idea of the part capital
plays
How many know that according to
the census of 1900 there was an in
vestment Of Si.770 in factories for
every hand employed in factories.
They do not know that according to
government figures made five years
ago the capital invested had risen to
$3.50 for every hand employed, and
that in the good year Of 1919 the same
government authority places the
figure at $4,000,
In other words, for every man en-
ployed corporations employ in the
same factories $4,000 in capital
Mr.. Plumb blithely suggests that
capital be eliminated from tho rail-
reads and that the federal govern
ment do all the financing. but retain
only third of the power of direc-
ton,
The question naturally arises, where
would the federal government get the
money? In Russia the Boshevik gov

Fortunately for us there Is no
danger of the Lenine plan being

seriously propose such madness.
President Wilson says. and wisely,
we must have more production. If We
are to avoid condition that would
lie worse than war, He means.a con-
diton of anarchy.

PRESIDENT NOT COMING,

President Wilson is headed for

Utah and Colorado. He has his eye
upon the constituents of Smoot. Reed,
Cummins. McNary. ct ais. and goes
TO seek influence to cause the senators
to support his plans with reference
to the covenant with Europe. The
president tried in a different way be-
fore the last election, using mails and
wires, to prevent election of men
whom he believed might not stand
for what was on the slate The result
wns not altogether to his satisfaction
especially in New Mexico. He may
consider a tour to this state as moi
promising; is not TO stop as he goes
by en- route from Denver homeward
through Oklahoma, though the people
would be glad to hear him, as he was
assured by the Albuquerque Chamber
Of Commerce.

TIE INFLUENZA THREAT.

Doctors are GisaGreeinG on the prob
ability of another influenza outbreak
in the coming autumn and winter. DR.
Royal S. Copeland, New York health
commissioner is quoted as taking as
exceedingly pessimistic view of the
future, declaring science to be help
less against the disease and predicting
its return to scourge the word. Not
only does he prophesy the return of
the dread disease, but he names Qcto-
Der as the time when it is to come
back.
On the other hand, DR.. William S.
Peters, health officer of Cincinnati,
commenting on DR., Copeland's gloomy
view, takes the opposite position. He
does not expect q recurrence of the
disease in epidemic form. for the rea-
son that 1.-THE nation was pretty wei
immunzed by the disease last fall and
winter" He adds the reassuring
comment: "Epidemics of such char
acter do not as rule, strike twice IN
the same place" warning, however
is sounded by DR. Peters, when he
says the mortality rate may be high
next winter, since many persons whose
power of resistance of disease has
been lowered may succumb to other
causes more readily for this reason.
Precautions to maintain ones
physical condition at high standard
are always wise, but they would seem
to be especially imperative in the near
future, in view of the possibility of a
new outbreak of the disease which
last year killed more Americans than
lost their lives in the great world war

SHARP DECLINE In L. 5. EXPORTS

Indications have not been wanting
of a coming decline in the volume and
value of exports from the United
states to foreign countries. but the
sharp reduction reported for July. as
compared with June, is surprising. For
the month ended July 81, American
exports amounted to $570,O0O.Oe0
which shows a reduction of nearly
$3.50, 900, 900 as compared with the
total for June of this year, which
made high record While exports
exhibited such large decrease, thefe
was a notable increase IN imports,
purchases abroad increasing N va!ue
from $2g3. 100000 in June TO $780,
eco 600 in July. Thus. while Ameri-
cans bought fewer goods abroad in
June they bought two-thirds as much
in Europe in July as they sold there.
For the seven months ending with
July total imports were $685. 1000.
and exports were S4.6lS, 100000, a
sum truly colossal in is amount.
leaving a balance of trade in Amer
ica's favor of $2.633, 900. The
total of seven months is at the aver
age rate Of over $3.50. 100000 a month
This emphasizes how much below the
average for seven months the balance
of trade was in thn month of July
Several factors combined to reduce
the exports of this country and to in
crease the imports. One is. the eoun-
tries which were for four years de-

suits, and are not only buying less

HOW PROHIBITION BEGAN.

1t was on the day before Christmas,
1878, in Hillsboro, Ohio. Down Main
street stood an old brick church. tail
and uguly, with hideous square
tower. 1t stood far back in the
churchyard among the trees. On the
wide brick pavement outside the
front door a group of serious faced
men stood silent, waiting. The sound
of singing came from the church.
The wide double doors were thrown
open and from the church emerged
more than seventy women, the lead
ers of the social, educational and reli-
gious life of the village. They were
marching two by two.
They turned up the wide main
street. The hymn died away. They
marched in silence until they came to
the drug store of William Smith They
stopped before the store and prayed,
and then Mrs. Milton Boyd read a.oud
the appeal to the sellers of liquor to
abandon the business.
All morning they marched and
prayed and read their appeal, kneel-
ing on the sidewalk before drug stores,
saloons and hotels. At night two drug
stores had signed the pledge, one had
agreed to sell liquor ION prescription

That was the start of the woman's
crusade; crusade of prayer that the
world should be released from the
slavery of drink; a crusade which in
a few weeks swept over half the
United States and closed thousands of
saloons. The crusade never has
stopped. 1t has been halted by the
backfire of politics. by the technicali-
ties of the law, but it grew and be-

WHEN TUE SALOON GOES.

Charles StelZle in World Outlook.
When one discusses the question of
what is going to happen when the
saloons are closed 1t IS important to
have in mind the causes which impel
men to go to the saloon. outside OF
what the saloon has itself to offer.
For, let it be remembered there are
other social evils besides the saloon,
in which man may find refuge when
the saloons are closed unless the pres
sures of life are taken off,
VIII the strain of the days work be
relieved when the saloons are put out
of business? 1t will for some men,
undoubtedly. VIII workingmen have
better homes to go to? Many Will,
unquestionably. But for the great
mass of men, the ordinary men of
whom there are so many. these bless
ings may be long time coming, I'M
less society or the state as a whole
sees to it that better social and econ
omic conditions prevail. The strong,
independent workingman will fight
his own battles, and he will carry
with him many others of his class. but
he cannot do it all-the rest of us
must help.

by the expansion of imports. Another
reason for the reduction of foreign
purchases in America IS the unsettled
state of foreign exchange and the low
units value OF foreign money as COM
pared with the dollar. Foreign buy
ers make their purchases IN America
on dollar basis and they are obliged,
therefore, to adjust their money to the
dollar standard in making payment.
Thus it takes more English pounds
nd French francs than Il formerly
did, TO pay bill rendered in dollars
This circumstance, in conjunction with
the high cost of American goods, re-
duces the foreigners buying power
and discourages his inclination TO buy.
The difficulty about foreign ex-
change will become less as, European
countries continue to increase their
shipments to America. and thus re-
duce further the balance Of trade
against them. but the other factor
that Of increased selling of foreign
goods--is likely to expand rapidly as
the producing nations approach

will have much industrial competi-

sity ei,joined upon those countries to
get their goods to market. in order to
