threshold Of the greatest reconstruction boom Il

GETTING BACK OUR SILVER DOLLARS

During the war our Government sold three hun
dred and fifty million dollars worth Of silver to
England to be used in India and had to reduce
silver certificates to that amount. This was a
poor piece of financing, since the government to
meet this loss in currency had to issue short time
interest bearing certificates to take the place Of
the silver certificates retired.
1t is coincidence that with the advent of Sen
Thos Watson in the senate, the treasury should
begin to reissue these silver certificates, insisted
upon by our junior senator even before he was
elected to the senate 1t is just possible that his
arguments had something to do with
the coinage of these retired silver dollars.

Civic DUTY"-by JOS H. Winkers-There are

few words in the English language that trans
cend all others in the sublimity of their meaning
in that for which they stand in life. Prominent
among these is DUTY. Really, I believe that
next to God and Mother" DUTY" is the most
sublime word in our language
Aman owes duty first to his family, then to
his country and community, and in times nation
al stress, to his country first. To shrk either is
a most objectionable sin.
AS the word Duty itself is so vastly comprehen-
sve in meaning | will not attempt, in the time
and space allotted, to emphasize more than one of
its many phases i. e. Civic Duty, the obligation
one owes his community.
Few of us realize what owe to our commun-
ty. We owe it just as much as we get out of it,
and to take than put in is to selfishly per
NIT someone else to bear share of the burden in
addition to his own. 1t is hard to believe there
are many who, realizing this trusm, would will
fully shirl duty but the one who does deliberately
shirk his civic duty is comparable only to para
site 1t is manifest therefore, that the unwilling
or thoughtless shirkers in civic matters should
be brought to a better understanding of their duty.
Pursuing this thought if the analogy be permit
ted will call to mind two seas in the Holy Lands,
one the sea of Galilee, the other the Dead Sea.
The waters of the Sea of Gaiec are full OF lite be-
ing beautifully supplied with fish and on its shores
grow the most luxuriant vegetation. This sea
gives of its bounty freely to feed mankind and
drains its fruitful waters into the Dead Sea, but
the latter although receiving this fruitful water,
gives up none, produces no fish, nor does vegeta-
ton grow on its shOres,-it, therefore, simply
stagnates in putrd evaporation. Thus the Dead
Sea receives everything and gives forth nothing in
return save its unwholesome odors What won
derfu example nature sets for all in this case.
Unselfishness receives its reward in life and beau
tv while sefishness is condemned to living
death, truly Dead Sea" How inconceivably
better would the whole world be if there were more
seas of Galilee and less Dead Seas.
Civic duty lies in many directions it would
be difficult to enumerate the many ways whereby
we can help each other help ourselves AS we
all know, the community grows out OF the family
around the fireside and when think for the
community we should think of it a group of
homes and firesides just like own then Lu;ld
on that principle Whatever affects other homes,
affects our own. Therefore, tolerance of the
rights of Others and unseiish service tor the
mon good the prerequisites to Civic pU y.

Financial Paper predicts reconstruction boom
for this country not equalled in the history Of fl
nance within the next six months It's sources of
information of course are extensive ard they may
have the right dope. 1t is especially optimistic on
cotton and says:
The great shrinkage in consumption was prob
ably the only cause that kept cotton from Jumping
to 40c per pound this season. This is indicated by
the government estimate of an S,2O5O0O bale yield
compared with last years l3,366000 bale yield,
1l,42lO00 bales two years ago and l20ii 900 bales
three years ago
Those who believed back in 1920 that the 1921
season would see cotton futures at 10c per pound
had visions of the demand keeping UP at its prev
ious rate. During the 100000 season the Uni
ted States consumed total of 6410,734 bales Had
not domestic use of elton in the year ended Iuly

general industrial depression there would have

might have scared. We say this because of an
idcated crop this year of S,203000 bales had on
sumption run 642000O bales, there would have
been left an indicated "hang over of only ,783,

with the previous year, how in the world Europe
was going to get something like 1850 bales out
OF an estimated hang over of only l,7S3000 bales
Certainly our reserve supplies of cotton would
have been greatly depleted, and bring with it I'M
