THE receipts at the Jersey City
Prize fight last week, thu
crowds at the bathing beaches, thc
high prices paid for Georgia wa
ternclona and peaches wherever
they arc shipped, the successes Of
attractive sales put on by enter
priang merchants who have will
and ability TO go out after bust
ness-ail these tend to prove the
people Of this country, generally
speaking, have money to spend
for what they really want The
problem Of business now is
largely one of salesmanship-
making people want what one has
to sell.
Americus merchants who are
going after business are getting it.
One of them, who has used mod
crate advertising space in a proper
manner this year for the first time,
says his business for 1921 is dou-
bic that Of last year Possibly
that is a record. possibly not. But
there arc plenty Of merchants who
know there is business TO be had
and who know how to get it
and ARE GETTING it.
4 STRANGE religious ceremony
is staged at Abiquiu, New
Mexico. Mrs. Aida F. Sims, of
Albuquerque, happens to ride into
the village in her Ford and sees:
A man, striped to the waist,
standing in a crowd, switching
himself until the blood pours
down his bare back.
He's beating out his sins,
villager explained.
TO hasten the departure Of evil
spirits, the penitent now and then
paused to dip his switch into salt
water.
YOUR comment. probably Isl
Why send missionaries to
China2"
But what Mrs. Sims saw in New
Mexico is worth more than a
fleeing and facetious thought. 1t
again emphasizes the contrasting
types of people that are living to-
gether in peace in the enormous
area Of our country.
One of the unique features of
America is its varied races. its
contrasting local customs, its chile
con caTne of different sects and
beliefs.
If European conditions and
prejudices were repeated in our
country these people of opposite
beliefs and customs would con
stantly be trying to reform each
other with a shotgun.
That's why you can hardly live
through a day without hearing,
Well, what if he is? This is a
hee country, isn't it?''
Or: No, | haven't anything
against them personally. It's just
that I've got a different way of
looking at it. What they do or
think ism any of my business.
That's the real American spirit
individual freedom.
ONE reason we get along SO
peacefully in the United
States is because our continental
territory is 3.026,789 square miles
plenty of elbow room.
That gives us a square mile for
every IS people.
Germany had 800 people to
the, square mile-and went to
war.
Japan proper has 40 people
to the square mile-and makes
DIPLOMATS lose sleep.
These countries may not fgh
civa wars among themselves
which proves that internal peac,
is not primarily matter of non
congestion, but their sardine
packed population in recent year
reached the point where their rul
ers began looking longingly a

Up FREIGHT
RATES WITH.
PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20
Farmers from all parts OF the United
States who are meeting here under
the auspices of the National Farm
ers' Union decided to take the fight
for reduction of freight rates direct
to President Harding.
The decision was reached after
spokesmen for the farmers had con-
ferred with members of the inter-
state commerce to urge lower rates.
The delegates apparently were dis
satisfied with the outcome OF the
conference
Unable to market their own prod
ucts, the farmers, spokesmen said
before the commission, are virtually
on a buyers strike.
Commissioner McChord asked Ma.
uonal Secretary Davis of the union
whether with cheap freight rates the
farmers could market their products
at a profit
Possibly not" Davis replied, but
a freight reduction would be one
factor and it would be foolish to re-
ject any plan that would reduce the
farmers loss simply because It does
not solve their own problem"
