The United States is practically
through the period of violent business
disturbance which began in May, 1920.
We will from time to time have visible
evidences of the distressing conditions
through which the country has been
passing, but these occurrences should
be regarded not as induces to forward
conditions but as relating to the past.
The changes which have taken place
have not as yet been recognized by the
business public for two main reasons.
The period of normal midsummer dull
ness now at hand has obscurred the
certain evidences of improvement and
there has been lacking thorough
comprehension of credit conditions.
Failure to recognize the passing of
the period of insufficient credit has re-
suited from lack of recognition of the
fact that for long time the credit
shortage has been apparent rather
than real and due in large part to the
unsatisfactory character of osme oil
risks offered. There is now no bank
credit available for operations de-
signed to hold prices at fictitious lev
els. Orderly organized marketing, il
fair, succeeds, but attempts to hold
prices above the levels determined by
international supply and demand arr
certain eventually to fail. American
busienss and government alike have
thus far kept clear of ENHANCEMENT!

In the European situation there are
also indications of steadying of po-

each other, which are of especial sig
nifincance. A restoration of political
stability must in large measure pre-
cede Europe's economic rehabilitation,
Tangible evidences of this improve

Under these untoward conditions,
the one fortunate exception among
farmers is the stock raiser who owns

always finds nationwide demand for

at its mothers side frequently brings
him $500 to $1,000, while the yearlmg
will sell for from $500 to $4,000;
a colt from Jefferson county farm
having brought, at one OF the recent
Saratoga sales $4,000.

o fthis charactdk, but even so, Ameri-
can business cannot avoid their indi-
rect effects. Valorization schemes pro-
viding for indefinite holding for arbi-
trary prices of such commodities as
wool silk, coffee sisal and sugar, If
successful, would involve the pur-
chase by American consumers of raw
materials at levels likely to invilve Ill
innate lass, and as long as thesS plans
contemplte the maintenance Of an arti-
fetal price they cannot be disregarded
in consideration of credit risks.
Some businesses have found difficult
ty in getting what they have felt to
be a fair line of credit. This has been
because of a desire to operate on
basis of inventories Of raw materials
ant usoods not yet written down or be-
cause in these instances heavy invest
ments have been made in plant and
equipment at inflated prices. In such
cases they are not yet willing to ad-
nit that they will have to take their
losses and adjust thei roperations to
make profits on real values only.
Although occasional failure to Sc
cure desired credit accommodations
has served to keep alive the impress
sion that there is a shortage of bank
credit, the truth is that there is now
available a volume of credit larger

CONSCIENCE, SISTER OF TRUTH

In any great moral issue the one
thing connected with it that is worth
while is truth. There is no question OF
this. When we face condition de-
manding facts to back up position we
cannot hope to come out in the clear
unless we are backed by truth. Some
times falsehood gets by, but it never
stands. 1t cannot in the nature OF
things. Whatever is false is untrue,
and in the economies of nature what
eyenis not true is misfit. There is
nothing in the world that is so clear in
establishing truth as conscience.
When we do things that are not what
we know to be balanced we draw
blank in the equation of justice. Con-
science is the one guide that leads us
in the path of rectitude. And con-
science is the sweetener of life, for it
is the maker of solace. 1t is the most
elevating of all power in the human
heart. 1t leads us to the heights as
surely as the sun lights up the heavens
on a cloudless day. SO truth is con-
science and conscience is the guide to
all that is honorable in human associa-
ton. A man without conscience is
without hope, and hope is the sister OF
truth, the handmaiden of all the other
adorable virtues, such as patience, the
supremest virtue and honesty and faith
and love.
