TURN OF THE ROAD IN SIGHT," SAYS

The turn Of the road in American
business is in sight, says Eugene
Meyer, Jr., Managing Director Of

organization that has been author
lied by Congress to make loans'
not only to promote our export
trade but also to facilitate the or

cultural products in this country.
zone Of the difficulties in the
present situation" says Mr.. Meyer,
lis the fact that retailers, whole
salcrs and manufacturers are now
conducting their business on what
might be termed q hand-to-mouth
basis, ZACH carrying the lowest pos
sible stock Of goods. The Iirect re-
suit has been to throw back upon
the producers and the country
banks that finance them the raw
materials which normally are car
ried by mills, wholesalers, jobbers
and retailers. Growers of wheat,
cotton and other producers, unable
to market their products as rapidly
as formerly have been compelled to
hold them for longer period than
usual.
"To meet the situation, and also
the situation brought about by the
failure of foreign merchants and
manufacturers to purchase their
requirements for the year in the
period Immediately following the
harvesting of our crops, as in nor
NAL times they were accustomed to
do, it became necessary to provide
additional financing for carrying
the products until they could be
marketed in an orderly way.
Advances to Producers.
"The War Finance Corporation
has been able to give substantial
aid by making advances to various
associations of producers of cotton,
wheat and other commodities, as
well as to banking institutions and
exporters, and it will be IN position,
under the Agricultural Relief Bill
jus- enacted by Congress, to render
even more effective assistance.
"lf the business men of America
would resume the carrying of nor
nal stocks, the load forced back
upon the producers would be more
generally distributed, resulting in q
freer circulation of business and q
greater buying power on the part
Of our agricultural population.

 Hi, there, you old cottontailii yelled Farmer Browns boy. and this frightened Old Jed still more, so that he actually ran right past his own castle of bullbriars without seeing it. Farmer Browns boy kept on his way laughing at the fright of old Jed Thumper. Presently he came to tho springs from which cam4 the water that made the very beginning of the Laughing Brook. He expected to find them dry, for way down on the Green Meadows the Smiling Pool was neaIly dry. and the Laughing Brook was nearly dry. and he had supposed that, of course, the reason was that the springs where the Laughing Brook started were n longer hrbh!ing.

It was always very still there. but it seemed stiller than usual as he tramped around the edge of this strange pond. He felt as if it were all dream. He wondered if pretty soon he wouldn't wake up and find it all -frue. But he didn't. and so he kept on tramping until presently he came to dana splendid dam of logs and sticks and mud.
