Work is the Solution
To All Our Troubles

The essential thing for us to pre-
serve is that greatest asset Of all
the spirit of America. This country
has not grown great by sitting down
and talking about its resources. II
has grown because its people have
rolled up their sleeves and worked,
We are in a position to withstand
a money panic and, in fact, any kind
of a panic, except of our spirit and
courage.
The man with the right stuff in
side of him thrives under a little
adversely. He cuts out his foolish
extravagance and gets down to real,
honest work. And a nation is but
a collection of individuals.
Those who are worth while will
come through with a new courage

Fresh Meat Prices
AT Pre-war Levels

Wholesale prices Of fresh meat
cuts, both beef and pork, reached
the low levels Of the pre-war period
with the close Of business this week,
Armour & Company announce in a
public statement. Beef prices, the
last to be readjusted, declined to the
lowest levels of the year last week
says the statement.
Lower prices for live stock which
have resulted from decline in feed
stuffs, and from excessive receipts
of stock in all markets have had
marked influence on the wholesaTe
selling prices Of all meats, resulting
in a level Of prices that ruled in
1914, in many instances.
"Fresh beef carcasses we're Of
fered to the retail trade at prices
that averaged between Ia and is
cents pound, price almost as low
as in 1914. Light pork loins, the
price of which is the index Of all
fresh pork cuts, sold for 81 cents as
compared with the pre-war price Of
% to % IL cents. Lard was Of
fered at 6 cents a pound under the
price of April 1, 1917, which was
20.37 cents. The average price Of
sweet picked and cured pork prod
ucts was II cents, that being three
cents under the price of April, 1917.
"The market value Of hides, IA 1-2
cents in the aggregate of the ten
grades, has dropped six cents a
pound from the normal price that
existed in 1917, and is at this time
one cent a pound lower than the
price that obtained in 1912. Sub
normal value of by-products from
cattle of which hides is typical, have
had tendency to hold up the price
of fresh carcasses and had the
market for the by-products held rea-
sonably stiff, the beef meat prices
would have effected further declines
by this time"

Farm Account Books
Ready for Distribution

According to an announcement
just made by W. ID. Nichols, head
Of the farm management depart
ment, College Of Agriculture, Uni
versity of Kentucky, the second an
nual edition Of the Farm Account
Books, issued by the Extension De-
partment Of the University, are off
the press and ready for distribution
to farmers Of Kentucky. Some
changes have been made in the
books as issued last year which
have made it an improvement over
former editions. The book contains
ample room for an inventory Of the
farm together with space for re-
ceipts and expenditures and other
items of farm business. Last year
more than $4,000 copies of the pub
lication were distributed to farm
ers of the state. Each year farm
account book meetings are held in
the spring by the various county
agents of the state to assist farm
ers in balancing up their books and
studying the years business. The
book may be obtained at the cost Of

Lower Prices Seen
For Spring Clothing

Lower prices for spring clothing
will result from the action Of New
York manufacturers in placing their
shops on the piece-work. system.
William Bandler, president of the
New York Clothing Manufacturers
Association, predicted Saturday af-
ter a special meeting Of members OF
the organization.
The new piece-work wage scale,
Mr.. Bandler said, probably will be-
come operative this week when he
said, several large factories now
shut down will reopen.

Move For New
Hotel at Paris

The need for o new hotel in Paris
to supply the constantly increasing
demand for accommodations by
tourists and the travelling public has
again aroused interest in the con-
templated building of new hostel
ry and the Commercial Club is con-
sidering the advisability Of starting
crusade to arouse interest among
Paris and Bourbon county capital
lists. There are a number Of advan-
tageous sites, and it is believed that
should conditions in the labor world
be improved following the advent Of
the new year, that the hotel project
could be pushed forward to a speedy
and successful Conclusion.

First Secy. Honored

The head Of Alexander Hamilton
will adorn the new 81 Savings Stamp
which will be bright red imprinted on
green tint. 1t is interesting to note
that this will be the first time that
the first secretary of the United
States Treasury has been fittingly
honored by having his portrait on a
government savings security. The
new $25 Savings Certificate viii be
similar in design and terms to those
of the 800 and $1,000 denomina-
tions, although different in color.
Officials of the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington say that ma
tfonal financial conditions have been
benefited and countless thousands Of
people have become systematic saw
ers through the work of the Savings
Division in promoting thrift and saw
ing during the past three years; in
keeping war savings securities in
the hands of investors and acquaint-
ing the people with the desirability
of holding Liberty Bonds and buy
ing more at the low prices in the
market.
1t is interesting to note that the
1921 issue of the $5 Savings Stamp
will be Of larger size than this
years and will be orange in color,
with the portrait head Of Abraham
Lincoln. The larger size is expected
to be approved by the public and
should make the "baby bonds" much
more attractive artistically.

Confidently Predicts
Business Boom in 1921

In these times Of high cost and
low profits it is comforting to think
Of the next boom in business.
At first the thought seems about
as real and tangible as do June
roses during a January blizzard;
but as one reflects upon it more and
more, he cannot help feeling more as
sured that the boom is on the way,
and that even now it is not too early
to begin to lay plans for taking ad-
vantage Of it.
4 It is the winters snows~that fill
efhe ground with the reserve mois-
ture that is the making Of the sum-
mer's wheat, and just so one cam
not reap the full rewards of a boom
in business without laying, his plans
for it during the previous depres-
sion. rN
The foundations for almost any
period of prosperity are laid in times
of depression. The prosperity is
merely the super structure; the
foundations are the thrift, conserv-
atism, and sound financial condi-
tions brought about by adversely.
The chief characteristics Of a bust
ness depression are the marking
down of fictitious values, and the
paying off of excessive debts; and
it is just such things as these that
pave the way for boom in bsiness.
The more we look at the present
actual conditions, the more impress
ed we become with the evidence that
another boom is on the way and is
not so very far off.
All of us know in a general theor-
etical way that the three great es-
sentials required to make nation
productive and prosperous are an
abundance of capital, both liquid
and fixed; a sufficiency Of labor,
skilled and unskilled, and an abun-
dance Of raw materials at moderate
costs. Yet to most people the
thought has never come that these
three essentials are as important in
the routine of the practical business
man as in the theory of the econom-
ist. AS a matter Of fact, our years
of prosperity are those in which
these three essentials are present,
and our times of adversely are in
variably marked by the absence of
one or more of these essentials.
There is no exception to the rule
that an abundant supply of raw ma
terials is one of the greatest aids
to prosperity. Once in a while 1t
fails to create prosperity because of
being offset by war evils, or by
shortage of capital or of labor. One
of the depressing factors in 1913
was modertae labor shortage. But
next year we should be the happy
possessors of all three of these es-
sentials.

WILD FOREST TREE
Has Been Spread Over Barren Lands
In Hawaii Without Any Effort
Of Artificial Planting.

The mesquite tree. or algaroba. was
originally introduced into Hawaii by
Father Bachelot, and planted in the
Catholic mission grounds, Honolulu. in
1925. The original tree attained a
diameter Of three feet three inches,
and a height Of 60 feet before it was
topped In 1906 to make room for
new city block.
The algaroba is the most valuable
tree in Hawaii. The algaroba for
ests yield 10000 cords of excellent
wood annually. in addition to $1GO.OOO
worth of honey and enormous guam
titles of beans which furnish a valua-
BILE fattening food for stock at n time
when the dry summer has exhausted
the grass supply.
The algar0ba tree begins to bear
pods when 6 years Old. and when these
pods are eaten by stock the small
horny seeds are not crushed but rath-
er prepared for quick termination by
the action of the digestive fluids. The
spread of the tree without the eXpen-
siHe effort of planting by artificial
methods over vast areas of barren
lands Of Hawaii has. therefore, been
due almost solely to stock, and has in
this manner become n wild forest tree.
The algarOha in Hawaii has very
shallow root system and is subject
TO windthrow in very heavy storms.
