IN the end rebound to the benefit Of
both sides. The intense industrial
activity of the last five years rested
on the hollow foundation of colossal
governments borrowing and expendi-
lures for war--that as, for, destructive
rather than constructive purposes. The
expansion Of war industries and the
return to the pay-asyou-go policy have
inevitably caused business reaction and
wholesale LIQUIDATION.

The farmer gets so much bad advice
and misnformation that it would be
strange if he did not occasionally get
erroneous ideas; for instance, the
theory that everybody but the farmer
can fix the price Of his product; that it
is simply plus what the traffic will
bear. Of course, that theory is not
within speaking distance of the facts
in ordinary times. The great body Of
business men are in a constant struggle
to make ends meet, harassed and per-

to international trade that exists at
the moment is fundamentally the fault
OF the credit situation-credit of In
dividual nations among each other in
tho ordinary merchandising sense
Back Of the distrust of tho safety of
merchandising credits between coun-
tries Is tho realization that the gov
ernments Of some Of them are deeply
in debt and yet not exercising self
control to the extent of cutting out
extravagances that are getting them
deeper and deeper in, despite the end
ing Of the war.
Back of the imparity Of exchange
everywhere is the distrust Of the mon
etary credit Of the nations that are
still showing only a half-hearted de-
termination to stop printing more pa
per money. Back Of the worldwide
hesitancy Of international banks to
undertake the normal services Of dis
count by which they finance exporters
and importers is the fear that even

comitant Of disordered exchanges ia
tho cause or the effect of the failure
OF the trade between nations to ball

OF these have joined in the downward
swirl.
This may sound extremely pessinis-
tic, but 1t ia not necessarily pessimism.
The situation is serious, but it NAV
right itself-or begin the upward
spiral-before many weeks, by the
working out OF the unaided mechanics
OF the situation. That is a matter of
opinion and largely matter of hope.
Just as soon as the worldwide resc-

1t will attract the attention Of the
speculative element In the worlds or

there is apt to como a change.

Anyone who speaks or sings in pub
lie, whose voice is apt to grow husky

quick relief in cases of Hoarseness,
Loss of Voice, Soreness or Tickling in
the Throat, Bronchitis, Bronchial Irri-
tation, Bronchial Asthma, Coughs,
Colds, and as a preventative against

MURRETTE.
Mr.. ]. Ernest Williamson, who made

the underwater scenes in his picture.
But he had not long to wait, for he
soon saw a huge seaplane flying to-
wards the island from Miami, Fla.
When it descended, he found that his
long-wished-for diving suits were part
of the seaplane's cargo. This is the
first time that a seaplane ever had
such freight. The distance of the
fight was $50 miles.
