Army Squadron Gives
 Nenana DOuble-crOSS

l For some reason unknown
 to the people of Nenana, the
 army airplanes which landed
 at Fairbanks Thursday did
 not give Nenana the pleasure
 of seeing tn e m a s th e y
 passed down river enroute to Ruby and Nome.
 The sidetracking of Ne mana was very much of a dis Appointment, especially in view of the fact that Captain Street promised to come this way.
 The planes left the upper town at two minutes after twelve, announcement of (which was made by the big
 whistle at the commission power plant, in accordance with a pre-arranged plan. The people of the town re- sponded promptly, taking up Ipositions on housetops and other nositions of vantage, waiting there in the rain un- itil it finally became known
 that the planes had been sighted at Dunbar's, about i 20 miles north of town. It was evident then that the town had been passed up, and the townspeople retired in disappointment.
 The machines were at Gib- bon at two o'clock yesterday
 and spent the night on a bar about six miles below Ruby
 from which point they were
 to have hopped for Nome
 today, weather permitting.
 The News has made ar
 arrangements to keep posted lon the movements of the planes and doubtless will be able to announce accurately their homeward schedule.

 The Boy Scouts of Nenana left town this morninc to enjoy an outing of a week or ten days in the Lignite dis trict. Robert Joseph Diven accompanied the boys to in- sure their safe return. About 25 excursionists re- turned from Fairbanks on 'the regular train yesterday and most of them went out the line this morning to re- isume their duties along the
 railroad and beyond. Those airplanes look e d good to Tom Smith-so good, in fact, that he offered $lOO l for a ride in one of them, and he was greatly disap- pointed when his offer was turned down.

Hoover on Conditions

There is a parallel between our present economic condi. ton and that which followed the Civil war, declares Her. bert Hoover, in an article contributed to The Ladies Home Journal. The same conditions of extravagance and big prices obtain now, he says, which resulted in 8 great pani c and years ot hard times following the re- bellion.
 We hope to avoid such con- sequences today because we believe our economic posi- tion is much stronger than it was in those early days; yet, on the other hand, We are confronted now with world conditions of upset which were unknown a half century ago, and our rela- tions with the rest of the world inevitably tie us up with international instability as never before.
 All this is not just some thing for statesmen and pro- fessors to worry over, but it reaches into the American home and affects every fami- ly and every individual. It may be hard for us to think of such dry matters, but whether we think of them or not they are going to act up- no us and those we cher ish. It is true that as individ- uals we have little or no row CT over economic events ex- cept in small personal way, yet a general understanding and a united action by the mass of our people would profoundly modify the eco homie process.
 It is wisdom for every man and woman 10 ~at the house in order against the dangers ahead. What are these dan- gers: To put some of them very simply, the possibility that the wage or salary earn CT may find himself quite suddenly unemployed; that investments may lose their value; that it may become difficult to borrow money and, worst of all, that neces. sary goods may not be ob. tainable in the market.
 This last is something the majority of Americans simp. ly cannot realize, for the les. sons in shortages of one kind or another during the last few years have been compar- atively small. Europe has had this lesson driven deer into her stricken conscience for. with a great plenty ol paper money to buy with she has found almost no' thing in the market to buy
 This. is the real peril and terror that confronts oul civilization. Itis the most alarming symptom that can be presented in our society It is the same thing as when doctor finds that his pa tient's blood contains no red corpuscles, that there is nc reserve of energy, no power

Iagainst disease. While there
 lis fundamental vitality there
 is hope, and not otherwise.
 There may be a fictitious
 or temporary bankruptcy
 and paralysis from which an
 individual. a business CT a
 nation may speedily recover.
 And there may be a real
 bankruptcy of our physical
 ~-' ~-ir resources with indications of a fatal termin- ation.
 There are people who re- sent such ideas and suggest ions, because they feel that Fate or Providence has suf- fciently disturbed the even tenor of their lives in the last few years. They argue that they have done their Ipart in enduring abnormal conditions, in withstanding Ihardships of minor sort and in contributions and sac |rihces for the sake of the ination and the world. So doubtless argue'i >nine of the people who dwelt along the Mississippi valley when they had put up a few sandbags to protect their homes and farms against floods. Doubt less they argued with the engineers of the levees that lit was unfair that they be put to any more expense and labor in building higher the banks of the river. Doubtless the engineers explained that the Mississippi river was deaf to anneal on the ground Iof equity and fairness, but would respond only to the argument of a sufficiently high and stror~ levee.
 In other words, we india uals must accept the condi- tions as they are and not as we think they ought to be. We cannot decline, ignore, shut our eyes to or run away from the economic enemy We must meet him on his
 own ground and give him de- cisive battle, regardless of
 the many battles we may
 have fought with him pre- Iviously. It counted for mo-
 thing in the late war that
 the Allies fought valiantly
 and won battles for several years. Not until the last, de- cisive battle, when the enemy
 surrendered, did they earn
 the right to victory.
 So let all of us forget how
 much we have done and
 think only of what we must
 do today and tomorrow. To Isulk in the tent of Achilles
 will get us nowhere either
 as individuals or as a nation.
 It is as imperative today
 as it was during the war, or
 more so, for the people of ,the country to practice
 thrift in all it's forms so because the world is yet
 farther on the economic
 down grade that began in
 1914 and also because we do
 not have now the world con-
 trol that prevailed during the war.
