two hours II was debated. Most of the
speakers attacked the amendment,
majority of them contending that 1t
would be unwise for congress to tie the

Early Disarmament Conference
Republican leaders asserted they ia
vored an early International conven-
ton on disarmament and the prediction
was made that President-elec Harding
would do his utmost to bring about
such a conference.
1t was argued that 1t would be a mis-
take to put the construction program
of tine navy in peril. by taking step
which might require suspension of
building operations for a time.

ADVERTISED MERCHANDISE

1t is pretty generally admitted that adj
vertised goods as a rule are more salts
factory than goods that have not been
advertised. 1t is natural that this should
be true.
The man who advertises his merchan-
disc stamps his name or the name of his
brand upon them and then claims that
particular brand possesses unusual mer-
it. He is on trial, in a sense, because
everyone can read what he claims and
can give his merchandise a trial. and if
it does not justify his claims, the world
will soon know it. He must make good.
The man who does not advertise is un-
der no such obligation, as he has made no
claims. He simply permits you to take
your chance on their quality. They may
be good and they may not.
1t is reasonable to believe that the Tlan
who is telling his story to the whole
world will be very careful of what his
factory turns out.,-Utah Farmer.
In spite of the fact that most newspap-
ers make the claim that they are located

THE DEVIL OF DEPRESSION

In the REIMBURSEMENT following the war
period no one has fought off the blue dew
lis of depression more persistently than
organized banking. From the little cOun-
try bank to the recent great convention
of the bankers of America a solid front
has been presented against depression. 80
Our country is facing the new era of
economic prosperity that must come In
fact elements of prosperity are present
and functioning on every hand.
The old theory that the banker prosper
ed in hard times, when interest rates
were high and money scarce, has been
destroyed by experience.
Banks and bankers are the barometers
of economic and industrial conditions
and are largely the cause of wiping out
the spirit of depression.
The peddlers of gloom, the prophets Of
failure, the fomenters of discord, cannot
peddle that stuff over the bank counter
and get anywhere
The nightmare of depression has been
driven from the counting rooms OF bust
ness and industries and is passing out Of
the minds of the public.

HONEY PHISOSOPHY FOR 1921

Ignorance is slavery WheresoeVer lg-
norance EXISTS. AS an example, the ig-
norant Russian masses are slaves of a
few dozen highly educated and shrewd
men led by Lenin and Trotsky. On the
other hand, there is no place for ignor-
ance in a democracy. Where all men are
equal every man should be educated in
order that he shall enjoy the same free
dom, and pleasures and blessings that
the educated man enjoys. There is too
much iIliteracy in every State Of the I'm
ion, and we hope that the women, with
their newly given right to the vote, will
speedily put an end to that.
