INDUSTRY ALONE CAN CREATE WEALTH

In opinion of a banker who has closely. studied
the economic there is no cause for concern in the
present outlook.
"The fundamental principles of economics are
entirely overlooked by many business men and even
bankers he says Capital is kept in existence from
year to year, not by preservation but by perpetual
reproduction. Those who consume it in normal times
are employed meanwhile in producing more
"But the past six years have not been normal
times, and consumers have not in many instances
been producers. Millions have been consuming, with
ont producing economic wealth. On the contrary,
actual destruction of wealth has been the result of eff
forts of the leading governments during the years
of war
''There is nothing extraordinary in the present
situation. We are in the position of the man who
has taken long and extensive vacation and has
sumed all his savings Such man does not call in an
economist or banker to discover what ails him. He
simply goes to work. He has no choice He can't
loaf any longer
Neither governments nor laws can create wealth.
Industry alone can do that. And because industry
alone can do it, we need have no fear of severe
slump in business" :.
The country at large is beginning to realize this
fact and unconsciousy production per Individual is
increasing because are returning to normal

POWER OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

Not lorg ago the proprietor of news and
stationery stOgr of the cities the West Coast
of Mexico informed "The Oasis" that the Saturday
Evening Post had cut off all it's sales of copies in
Mexico alleging that the circulation in the United
States satisfactory to its advertisers and that
even in this country policy Of more money for adj
vertising space iii much larger edition, and it was
reducing circulation to the point where those who
paid its advertising earnings were satisfed-in or
der to have money on consumption of paper. 1t was
stated that every cory Of the periodical mentioned
costs forty CENTS and they are sold at five cents each
fhe issue itself runs about zoo pages, printed
heavy enameed book paper, and weighs couple of
pounds From the five cents sales price agen-
"ies and delivery have to be paid; SO it likely
that there is about 33 cents loss on every copyper
haps the entire 40 cents is lost when cost of mail
transportation is paid
Even at that big loss in production the advertis
ing patronage is enormous. 1t must be so; for the
Saturday Evening Post is known to be money MAX
err 1t is SAID to charge at the rate of 1900 per page
for advertising SPACE; and its weekly revenue is
ported mounting well up to 100000 for that serv-
ice alone.
Another remarkable feature is some of the
seemingly inconse1uental commodities that pay that
enormous price for space beside spending large sums
Of money in other advertising mediums. For in
stance there are several brands of toilet soap that
are advertised very extensively in the pages OF the
periodical named Soap is one Of the most common
commodities It can be made easily and readily any
where and the land is studded with soap factories,
many Of them producing articles fine as any ever
advertised. Yet by attractive advertising in cost
y mediums producers of other soaps send their goods
all over the world and sell them right in local fields
that have soap factories Of their own Not only toilet
soaps, but ordinary laundry soaps do it.
Numerous other commodities can be cited that
could be used to point the same kind of reflections
as in foregoing paragraphs Satehy razors. susnen-
ders chewing gum candies, tooth paste smoking to-
