this old globe with money in the bank.
There 1t does little to help men
Money is of value only as 1t circulates
and produces increase. Credit Is the
medium through which money works.
Character is the greatest asset In Sc
curing credit. That starts the money
in circulation and turns the wheels OF
industry. That brings jobs for men
and income for the owner of the CAPT
tai. When pitted against each other
they bring strife and sorrow. Whel

of history and the benefactors of man

Predicts immigration
*Of Oriental Laborers

Immigration of 100000 foreign
ers, mostly Chinese and Japanese,
every year for the next fifty years,
was predicted here by Abraham Bow
ers, immigration secretary of the

address before the Illinois state

Mr.. Bowers based his prediction
on the assumption that the growth
Of the United States for the next
half century will require hordes Of
common laborers.
They must come from the Orient"
said Mr.. Bowers.
1.-THE European labor now in this
country is fast graduating into more
skilled occupations and further i'm
migration from that source doubtless
will be greatly curtai1ed owinG to
depletion of man power in Europe

Before the war we assimilated
about 100000 immigrants a year.
They were mostly used in common
labor. AS our country grows the
need for labor increases in ratio.
