OUR WEALTH

Anomalous as 1t appears, the richer
We grow. the poorer we are. AT
least something like that Is our con
dition when we, as n whole people,
are tabulated as being worth about
four thousand seven hundred dollars
each, yet have little to show for 1t
except large foreign loans. memplcy.

cial depression.
Where is all our money-the actual
cash?
Ask the farmer, and he will refer
you to the industrial worker. Ask
the industrial worker, and he will re-
fer you to the employer. Ask the

II hasn't enough money to run its
affairs without demanding larger
How poor we all are!
But so far as the most impressive
statistics go, we ought to be beyond
want and worry, financially speak
ing. Data lately compiled from cen
sus taken by Commerce and Finance
assure us that in the last twenty
years, or from 1900 to 1920. the per
capita wealth of the United States
has increased from one thousand one
hundred and sixty-five dollars to four
thousand seven hundred dollars. Yes,
we have multiplied our riches more
than four times. and the multiplica-
tion has almost wholly taken place
during the last ten years. Let us
quote the stark figures,

Some other reflections that may
perhaps comfort us, in this winter
of our discomfort. are that before the
World War we owed s5.000.0 100000 to
other nations. and now we have not
only paid on that debt hut We have
loaned European nations Sl0,O0O, ,O0O,-

holders OF the largest gold reserves
OF any nation In the world: while
our bank deposits exceed by billions
the combined bank deposits Of the
whole world outside our own country.
With such wealth at our command
IL is. indeed. hard for the average
man to understand why any one of
us should lack shelter or clothes. or
suffer hunger. But all our gold and
: all our goods and all onr credit won't
hide or counterbalance the greatest
OF all outstanding financial facts OF
the present day-that the world owes
itself 5000. .OOO. .oOo. 900.
How to meet that debt. the most

HORSE ONCE MORE

doctor when Mrs. Gordon was at the
point Of death. The physician would
be called by telephone today.
Yet, with 'the passing of the

wonderful book more than forty years
ago mans noblest friend" still holds
firm place i'll the heart of humanity,
and "Black Beauty holds eighth
