ed to be more than so percent
than a year ago. The Wis
ible supply is the smallest in
eighteen years.
The supply of flour in the
hands of merchants as well as
consumers is very low. There
was 20 percent less flour manu-
featured during the year ending
June LIST than during the pre-
ceding year.
OF vital interest to farmers is
the fact that there is a decided
shortage in livestock. If per
capita consumption of meat and
meat products were suddenly to
return to normal, the demand
for meat would be far greater
than the supply.
During the first five months
of 1921 there were 7,716 bust
ness failures in the United
States as compared with 2,678
for the corresponding period of
1920. An expert statistician es-
Inmates that at present there
are about three million persons
ordinarily employed in indus
tries in the United States out of
employment. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the family Of a
man who has employment con-
sumes three times as much of
the things people eat, wear and
use, as it does when the head
of the family is out of employ
ment. Latest information indi-
Gates that the number of unem-
ployed has probably reached the
maximum and that unemploy.
ment is now on the decline.
One can readily see that as
workers in textile mills, shoe
factories, automobile factories

Add to all this the determine

Farm Profits Are Coming Back.
It is a law of nature that ac-
ton is equal to reaction in the
opposite direction. For instance,
a pendulum always swings al
most as far one way as it went
in the opposite direction on the
preceding swing. A slight tap
when it starts back may send
it farther than it went on the
up stroke.
Business has its ups and downs
as does the pendulum. In many
respects business expansions
and depressions are almost as
regular as is the ticking Of the
clock. When business reaches
the peak of its climb we can al
ways rest assured that there
will be a decline at least nearly
as far. The world war really
served as a vigorous push rath-
er than a light tap on the bus
mess pendulum of the world and
sent it up and up almost to its
zenith, in fact, many feared the
force Of the impact would cause
It to dash from the beaten path
and crush to destruction. But

year and a half we have beer

Many facts indicate that it il

AMUSED HIS NAVAL HOSTS
Lawmaker Eminently Justified HIS
Reputation as a Man of Some
Eccentric Doings.

One Of the new members of the
house of representatives who is re-
garded as somewhat eccentric per-
son, was a continual source of aston
ishment aboard transport on her trip
to the bomb-dropping experiments off
the Virginia capes. Examining an in
strument aboard the vessel, and being
informed it was range finder, he in
quired how far it would shoot. Be
ing loaned telescope to make bet
ter examination Of the battleship Iowa,
ne looked through the big end instead
Of the little one and then complained
he could not see anything. He fol-
lowed this with a denunciation of a
naval policy which permitted the pur-
chase of such useless things.
But the thing that interested some
Of his colleagues most was the fact
that he brought no baggage aboard, not
even toothbrush, SO far as anybody
could find out.
"Why should bring any baggage?"
he asked. "We're only going to be gone
four days aren't we?"-Brooklyn Eagle.

Silver and other coins do not have
