billions of lumber uncut. We have
billions of gold, silver, copper and
lead to be unearthed. Oil is being
discovered in almost every state in
the union. All the resources of the
country are coming to the surface,
and we are going to be the busiest
people that humanity has ever known
and likewise the richest.
The fiancial center of the world
today is in New York. The center
of civilization has passed from the
old world to the new, and now rests
with us. We are great. We don't
want to boast, but we want to know

pay and not pitch hot. Rumor upon
rumor of shortage of crops, short
age in mechanical production, short
age in labor; in fact, it seemed as if
the whole world was going to be so
dog gone short that it was liable, to
drop into a hole and disappear Tire
prophets of cheerfulness were like
the proverbial hens teeth-few and
far between.
Now, let us look for the facts, for
never before in this history of civil
cation has mankind had a more rose
ate future to vision, and this applies
to every part of the globe, as we
could prove if we had the time aud
space.
But let us just take America. New
err in our history has there been so
much money, real, honest-to-goodness
cash in the United States as there is
today. This country has been grow
ing in wealth by leaps and bounds,
because we have the best educated
people in the world; the most moral
people; people with more initiative
than others among any other peoples
on earth. Then we have a country
whose unlimited natural resources
represent wealth untold. We were
coming to the mastership of the
wealth of the world before the war.
For instance, in 1913 this country
produced $4,000, 100000 more than
it consumed. Then the war came on
and our production was hurried until
in 1917 we produced $4,000, 100000
more than we consumed.

FACING THE FACTS
Food for Thought for the Calamity
Howler as Set forth By Mrs.
c. A. Brownell.

1t is very peculiar, this human ma
ture of ours, because 80 per cent of
the men and women are very quick
to see the clouds of trouble and to
miss the bright sunshine of pleasure.
Let a rumor enamate from an insane
asylum that there is going to be a
failure of crops, and the multitudes
commence to moan right away. 1t
seems as if people like to be in trou-
BILE.
And so it is that there has spread
over this country an almost universal
belief that we had to have a financial
panic; and we must have a CONNER
cial depression; we were due for a
period of hard times; Hades was to

rope in excess of 100000, 900, 900.
With the exception Of some $4,000
100000 this money remained in
America and was spent by the bor-
rowers in our markets. It was not
taken out Of America-it is here still.
Since the war closed hundreds of
millions Of gold have been sent to the
United States by foreign countries
in payments on their debts.
Then in 1919 our production was
the largest in the history of the coun-
try. We produced more goods than
we did in 1917 and we had an eager
market for everything we produced,
and all we sold brought the money to
America-it's here.
Take this statement by John
Fletcher, vice president Of the Fort
Dearborn National Bank Of Chicago:
"The Uuited States is far and away
the richest country in the world. The
average deposits of it's banks are
billions ore than the combined de-
outside of the United States. We
posits of all the banks of the world
have more actual cash than any other
nation and in the last few years have
obtained an almost unbelievable su-
premacy in trade"
Now with this vast accumulation of
money, how can we have a financial
panic; how can we have a CONNER
cial depression; how can we have
hard times? Impossiblel
There was naturally a reconstruc-
ton period which must follow after
a world conflict After our own Civil
War of 1861-65 we were ten years
passing through what was called the
reconstruction period during which
time our money went down to so
cents on the dollar.
We are going through the present
reconstruction period inside of three
years, and our money is at a premium
the world over.
Talk hard times; talk about de-
pression-nonsense.
Let us tell you that there is one
hundred years of intense prosperity
right at the doors of the people of
the United States. We don't have
men aud women enough to manfuac-
ture all that is necessary to meet the
demand. We are producing more to-
day than ever before in practically
every line unless it is shipbuilding,
and that will come back We have
millions of acres untitled. We have
