NO REASON FOR DEsPoNDENCY

To hear some folks talk about
business conditions, one would think
that these are strange times indeed,
such as never before visited the
people of America. But that is not
so. A century ago conditions were
far worse than this, so vastly
worse that comparison Is inept in
deed.
Aside from business depression
which visited the people then, fol-
lowing the war of 1912, the coun-
try was rent with internal dissen-
tion. Then America was nation
in the making. The great battle
which for years had waged between
the advocates Of States rights and
those of Nationallsm was still pend
ing and business everywhere was
retarded by the uncertainties of and
positive hinderances which prevail
ed.
About that time too, the national
currency was deprecated. through
the fiascos Of state banks and their
gross abuses. Positive and flagrant
usurpation OF power and business
chicanery we're the rule while the
conflict of laws were positive
handicap to honesty. Yet Ameri-
ca survived and out OF the turmoil
came a better nation.
one has not to turn back the
pages of history even half a CEN
tury to read therein reflections Of
business depressions far worse than
the temporary maladJustment to
which we are at present subjected.
Many who are still I'm the vigor of
manhood and business activity have
woathered the storms Of 93. to 90
as well as the financial panic OF OF,
when clearing house certificates
took the place OF government cur
rency. and we had black Fridays"
on the stock exchange.
Compared with conditions during
any one OF the former depressions
the conditions which prevail now
are encouraging.

is its young people or course It
is hard for some people to appreci-
ate the boys and girls growing up
in their home town, harder still to
realize that they have reached
mans estate and are ready to as
sumo their place in the community,
as men.
Business men are prone to think
of the young man they have seen
graduate from pantaloons to long
trousers, as the mischief-making
kid they had known so long. To
trust one of these with responsible
ity is exceptional on the part of
most business men. Yet these same
business men, In their home town,
at one time, we're viewed with the
same suspicion of lack of RESPONSE
bility, and perhaps, Just as justifi-
ably so.
Young men who have grown up
in a community are better able to
take place In developing a town
than those who drift in for the
reason that they are equipped with
knowledge of the country and its
resources. Their acquaintance with
the people is an asset that any bus

stopped to think what you could do

girl to get a start in life?
The next time you engage some
one to work for you, look around
and see whether or not there is not
an Ontario boy or girl who can fill
the place.
