Make More Friends

Friends thousand you may have. yet none to spare
for you make enemy of one, you will meet him
everywhere.
Honor and Justice the ties that bind true friend
ships together and multiply joys and divide griefs
You will always make and better friends by open
ing your heart than by opening your mouth
Only the who knows your faults and will net chide
you and who loves you for your good qualities and does
not envy you, is your true and enduring friend.
Friends forgive the aings of another The faults
Of enemy thus forgiven, make harmony out of dis
cord.

European Depression.

ECONOMIC conditions in Western
Europe and South Africa during Au-
gust. as reflected by reports to the
Department OF Commerce, indicate. a
continuance IN those sections OF de-
preston. ~
rhe principal cause" the depart-
ment said. Seems to be the continued
hesitancy of merchants to liauidate
at loss, with the result that ware
house stocks, especially in transit
countries, such as Belgium and
Holland. remain high, slowing up
commercial activity
Salient features of French eco
nomic development during the
month. according to Commercial
Attache Huntington at Paris, were
2 veritable balance in the export
and import totals covering the first
seven months of the year. an In
crease in the native production of
coal and wheat, and q series of
tax returns far below the estf-
mates.
The delay in the return to normal
conditions in South Africa, Trade
Commissioner Stevenson, at johann
nesburg, says, Is largely to be at
trfbuted to the fact that the peak
OF initiation was not reached there
so early as in many other countries.
