What's the Matter
With Business?

ease, have made the present depres-
sion bad. Prices must come down.
No one questions that, and as we say,
many prices have already tumbled,
notably, sugar, silk, cotton, wool,
corn, wheat, hides, hogs, cattle and
lumber. Others will follow soon. If
everyone does his share in this re-
duction process and does it promptly,
the REIMBURSEMENT could easily be
accomplished in year or so, possibly
this year.
In the meantime, let us all begin to
buy and sell generously what we real
ly need, at the present price basis
and thus help stabilize business and
prevent further unemployment with
all its evils which that brings with
it. Let us all do our share.
Most items have already touched
bottom. Some are lower than thew
are likely TO stay, others may drop
little more. You are therefore safe
in going ahead now with your cloth
ing buying for spring 1921, and it
doesn't require much imagination to
see where renewed BUYING activi-
ties could easily start the whole
business ball rolling.
Wouldn't that be worth while and
wouldn't you like to feel that Won
had direct share in helping to get
the country back to normal?
Let us now make the business turn-
ing point SO far as our part of the
country is concerned.

The big question that is in every
ones mind right now in some form
or another, is: Whats the matter
with businesss?" There are a va
riety of specific answers of course,
but the best general answer is-THE
WAITING DISEASE.
Too many people are refusing to buy
except in the most restricted hand
to mouth way. They are waiting for
lower prices. Everyone knows and
realizes that all prices which went
way up must come down. Many of
them are already down as low as
they can go. Some are lower than
they will stay Others are softening
and will soon follow the trend down
ward
But what about your business in the
meantime? Is it going to be safe for
people to continue to hold off until
the bottom appears to be reached?
If everyone did that this country
would probably see the worst bust
ness disaster in history Fortunate
~, quite large number of people
realize this fact and are not waiting,
but are doing business on wisely
optimistic basis, taking whatever
losses are necessary as to conse-
quence.
This action is what has prevented
serious trouble thus far. But the
people who have been afflicted with
the waiting disease and its deadly
brother, the cancellation of order dis

WEBSTER FORESAW
USE OF WIRELESS
Famous Orator Wrote of Radio to
Boston Friend.
(ey The Associated Press)

PORTSMOUTH,, N. H., Feb 22-
Daniel Webster is coming to be re-
membered hardly more as a states
man and orator than as a prophet.
Following fast on the fulfillment re-
Gently of his prophecy made at the
200th anniversary Of the landing of
Pilgrims in 1920 that when another
century had rolled round the voice
of the ceIebrators would be heard
from Plymouth Rock TO the Pacific
coast, Judge Edgar Aldrich, of the
United States district court, has found
that Webster may be considered to
have prophesied also the wireless tele-
phone or telegraph.
In a letter to former Governor John
H. Bartlett, Judge Aldrich approved a
proposal to name central state high
way after Webster, and added to
Webster's prophecies by quoting from
a letter written from his seat in the
United States senate in 1S49 to his
friend, Mr.. Blatchford in Boston. The
letter which Judge Aldrich said he
had happened on recently said:
IF writing and sending were as
ready and easy as talking and shak-
ing hands, these morning salutations
of friends would be equally pleasant
on paper. Perhaps electricity will
help us to the means OF all this yet;
so that when you are giving advice
or receiving fees, in your office in
Hanover street, l may speak to you
from on board my boat at Sunk Rock
and tell you when I have bite. Mr..
Badger is making a very able speech
in reply to Mr.. Hale,
yours,
ID. WEBSTER"
Can 1t be possible Judge AIdrich
remarked. that midst his great duties
as a senator and as secretary of the
state-wfth his manifold diversions in
respect to his farms-the details of
which he SO closely planned and so
much enjoyed-midst his sports on the
seas and with the rod on the streams
and ponds, he had studied and, more
than any other man of his day-fore-
saw the possibilities of electricity and
possibly the wireless?"
