OF the country than all other diseases

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con-

Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
European Relief Council, wants no
community to contribute to the ma
tiona1 collection being taken to save
3, 100000 starving children's lives, If
there are ,kiddies at home in need. He
feels sure that few children are starv-
ing in Kansas, however.
1t shouldn't be very much hardship
for Kansas to contribute 35 cents per
capita for a starving race in central
Europe. Citizens of Elk County
gave $500. Other communities should
follow suit. The editors of Kansas
papers are authorized agents to for
ward the funds.

What Are the Outstanding Features
of Our Industrial Future?

of Our Industrial Future?
Managers of industries, corpora
tions and banking institutions are fac
ing responsibilities for the next two
years that would stagger generals of
armies and statesmen, with this diff
ference: the industrial leaders can
not fall back upon the lawmaking and
taxation powers of the government
to help them solve the riddle involved
in keeping their properties intact and
their customers and employees salts
fed, to not even mention their stock
holders.
State and federal instrumentalities
must tbecome more constructive and
helpful if the big factors in the ma
tional prosperity statue are not to be
handicapped and crippled beyond re-
suscitation. Who can say our state
agencies have in the main been help
full in the solution. of industrial prob
lens? Government as a, rule is cold
and unsympathetic toward struggling
industries and public service
undertakings with private capital.
Should not this policy be reversed?
What are the two greatest factors
in restoring normalcy and preventing
a national collapse industrially and
financially? We have passed through
a CONSUMERS strike,"' and are now in
the throes of an industrial stage
where home consumption is falling
off and foreign markets are dimin-
ishing from the great wartime de-
mands made on the nation.
The readjustment that will take
place in the next two years will be
attended by declining prices and
wages. Capital, Labor and Agricul-
ture win have to absorb their share
of the shrinkage in values and eco
nomic losses. There will be no margin
Tor wild talk or wild actions and in
telligence must reign as the superior
power in human affairs and over
power resorts to violence.
Twenty billions lost in world war,
and as much more lost through in
dividual extravaganza and ineffciency
and morale lowered through the ex-
citement of a great world struggle
against military autocracy, requires
of every American citizen the high
est and most patriotic resolution to
repair the great loss to our normal
prosperity.
How can we maintain the high
walls of the American Zion and the
high standards of comfort and pros
perity to which we are accustomed?
Only by Individual sacrifice, by indiv-
idual savings replacing the destroyed
stores Of capital needed for develop
ment of our country.
If every family of five could put IN
the bank a thousand dollars savings
in the coming two years the great
shellhole blown in our garnered ma
tional wealth would be filled up and
we would be back to normal.
1t should not be difficult for the
average man or woman to lay aside
one hundred dollars year for the
next two years and it would restore
our equilibrium and avert debacle.
Backed with sound judgment and
economy in public affairs, this nation
faces the most prosperous period OF
its existence.
Have faith in your country, your
business, your fellow man. Nobody
ever played the United States short
and won.
