WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

Between the blush OF dawning DAY
And night that hides the sun
Some million people pass away
VINO count their labors done.
AS each one goes in haste, or slow,
Another takes his place
To keep alive the passing show;
In awkwardness, or grace.
And here you see barefoot boy,
And there a soft-eyed girl
Who learn that sorrows joy
Through the hazy whirl
wonder IL. old Father Time.
You do not sometimes smile
When Youth grows weary as the climb
Gets sleeper mile on mile?
'Twould seem a man so richly blest
Should have unbounded fun;
But then you. too, may want to rest
When all Is said and done!

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE GARRISON. "
What Happened When Madee Was
Left Alone in the Surging Mob.
LIE GARRISON.

Never in all my life shall I forget
the feeling Of awful helpless terror
that swept over me when / realized
that I was alone in the justling mob
before the doors of Madison Square
Garden on the night shortly before the
election when the president of the Unit
ed States was to speak there.
And with my terror was mingled a
deep burning resentment against
Dicky for leaving me in such a predic-
ament. OF course, realized that he
had done the manly, in fact, the only
thing, in responding to the cry of the
girl who had lost her footing in the
crowd. the girl art student from Vir-
ginia, who, I had gathered from
Dicky's description, was with her sis
ter, a studio Pet of the circle. But /
reasoned that he could have looked
after me, too, il thoughts of me, his
wife, had been uppermost in his mind.
as they should have been.
I wondered what I had better do if
the crowd finally reached the doors
toward which they were progressing at
such a snaiPs pace. How thankful 1
was that on Dicky's requesting me to
leave my handbag at home I had put
a bill inside my waist, and a coin in
each glove I tried to put my hand to

that could not raise my arms, so
tightly wedged were they at my belt.
A tall, road-shouldered man was
standing directly in front of me. L
think he must have felt the attempted
movement of my arms. for he squared
his big bulk around, forcing n tiny bit
of lee-way for me. and said kindly:

Three Men Made Business Dull
Three Men Will Make IT Good

tons OF zinc and ore which turned out
some 37.000.000,000 tons of pig iron.
And down in the big woods Pete Han
Ion, wearing soft hat and occasional
ly irrigating an unresisting earth with
tobacco juice, cut literally trillions OF
feet OF lumber. Over on his uplands
he raised 5,665, 100000 pounds OF cot
ton.
What these three men dug out Of
reluctant soil represents not potential
but actual increase OF fundamental
wealth-which Is buying power. Their
production connotes and makes nee
essary and possible tremendous out
put of manufactured and finished
articles.
Did they produces SO much as to
oversupply this country and the
world? A hundred and ten millions
Of people in these United States. plus
hungry and rapidly rehabilitating
Europe can answer. AS can all our
vast railroad systems, with their
long-accumulated demands for add
tional equipment and supplies. As can,
also, those millions of our population
needing greater housing capacity
more homes, more building of every
sort
What ails business is not overpro-
duction, neither is 1t lack of buying
power. So long as that is true it does
not seem to me vastly important what
the gold reserve is, or what the rates
Of money or how the stock exchange
fluctuates.
The fundamental fact is that ouy
total production Of basic wealth has
increased, not decreased. Such pro-
duction is needed to supply human
wants. Just as quickly as we re-
adjust ourselves from a purely psy-
Geological condition, just that quick
ly business will be where it should
be. We have the goods and the trans
portation and the markets. All the
rest is a matter Of sanity and sales
manship. Business has merely a Sc
we're case Of falling market. And no
one buys on falling market. Dave
the janitor, and Jones, tf(b grocer,
and Mr.. Smith, the banker, made this
falling market. They made it when
they choked off their normal, or nearly
normal demands because prices were
too high.
Prices are being re-adjusted rapidly.
One of these days-and I predict it is
not a far day-Dave will buy his new
suit, Jones will paint his store and
get his new show cases, and Mr.
Smith will order that high-priced car.
And all the rest of us will start max
ing our delayed purchases. Before we
quite realize it we will have a rising
market. Everybody will be buying
again-and we will absorb like
sponges those things which Uncle John
and Bill Blopsky and Pete Hanlon pro-
duced.
Y Now is the period Of lull in which tc
clean off our shelves, repair the furni-
ture, cement connections and prepare
for handling recalescent business by
sound and permanent methods.

HOME, SWEET HOME.

1t has power to turn back the foot
steps of the wandering boy and to call
home the exile. And, strangely enough
the song came from the heart of a
wanderer who never knew what it was
to have a home-John Howard Payne,
an actor and soldier of fortune. who,
was born in America and died in
Africa.
Measured only by the standards OF
material success. John Howard
Payne's life was failure. Mos of ii

a coy home, and there came to his
ears from the parior the strains OF his

Years after his death In Tunis, Al

brought to America and a grateful
country paid its highest tributes to
the wanderer who sang:

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM E. BARTON
4ABsolUTELYD-Nor!

Einstein has been among us, and has
left the impression of kindly per-
sonality and strong mind. 1t may be
true that only Is persons in the world
understand his theory in full: it may
even be that he might say that Regel
is alleged to- have said, "Only one man
understands me, and he does not" But
the fundamental thesis of Einstein are
not very difficult to understand. They
are two:
First, all motion is relative.
Secondly, the velocity of light is in
dependent Of the velocity of it's source
The first we can believe as soon as
we understand what is meant by it
The second bewilders US, but when
we know what Einstein is talking
about, we have no desire to contradict
him.
But when we come to the application
of these principles, we find ourselves
in deep water. We have assented very
cheerfully and without much thought
to principles which will keep us think
ing for a long time. Before we are
through, we are wondering whether
parallel lines do not meet, and whether
anything is as we thought 1t was.
One thing we may as well learn
which is that there are not so many
uses as some people suppose for the
word absolutely. THAT was abso-
lutely the worst dinner any man ever
ate" THAT road was absolutely the
worst road any man ever tried to drive
a Ford car over strawberry ice
cream is absolutely the incest thing
Absolutely is a word to be used only
three or four times in a lifetime.
Herbert Spencer asked whether the
captain Of vessel. walking westward
on the deck of his ship sailing east
and walking Just as fast as he is sail
ing, let us say four miles an hour, is
really moving.
He is moving with the earth on its
axis at the rate Of thousand miles an
hour; he is moving around the sun at
the rate of 10000 miles an hour; and
no one knows how much faster he is
moving with the solar system. And he
is moving with slow currents and tidal
movements of the ocean. We know OF
few things that are stationary, and We
have infrequent use for the word 'ab-
solute,'

Blame for the current slowing dowl
of trade has been placed on everything
! from peace reaction to the ouija craze
The farmers have been named, thu
manufacturers have been accused and
the bankers have been damned.
| This is not a brief for any Of the
alleged guilty parties. it is simply 6
statement of the truth. And truth il
that the slackening Of business was
caused by combination of three men
One Of them is Dave. the janitor Of
the apartment building in which I live
Another Is Jones, the grocer down or
the corner. The third is Mr.. Smith
the banker who handles my account
| Their respective wives had hand in
it, too. I am not at all sure that these
people acted in any concerted way. but
here is what they did.
Last summer Dave, the janitor
thought he needed a new suit OF
clothes. He went to the stores, looked
at the suits and the prices-then had
his. wife fix up his old suit a little and
he is wearing it yet. The demand fol
clothing fell off by one unit.
Jones, the grocer, intended to have
AiAo SUI q PdAhSCo anu " put Iii IlSN
show cases. He called painter and
cabinet maker and got an estimate
on the work. Then he decided he'd
let the store stay as it was for an
other year.
That banker Of minea Mr. Smith
looked at number Of high priced cars
Apparently he proposed to buy one
But In the end he figured out that a
newly purchased car wouldn't stand as
an offset against income tax.
These three men and millions like
them-and you and and the millions
like us. are the people who slowed
business down.
Demand and business fall off only
when buyers stop buying. If the reason
Is too high prices or mere paralysis
of the pocketbook nerves, then It is
state Of mind and amenable ttc
cnange with changed conditions. on
the other hand, If the defunct demand
IS the result of decreased buying power
or a real overproduction, stimulation
may be much more difficult.
Is there any real lack of buyine
power in this country today? Three
other men have seen to it that there is
not-my Uncle John UP in Iowa, Bill
Blopsky, miner out west, and Pete
Halon, down in the southern forests
and uplands. Perhaps no one Of them
knows the dictum Of that Adam
smith, who set it down as a principle
that "all wealth comes from the land
Those three men are more. concerned
perhaps. with facts than with princi-
pies. AT any rate, here is what they
did last year,
Uncle John raised, in round figures

Every year the Improvement and ex-
tension of farm machinery is allowing
the farmer and planter to cultivate
more acres with fewer men but there is
still, and always will be very great
demand for laborers on the American
farms. The farmer with the best ma
.chinery and most approved plans for
making crops will always rely consid-
erably upon human help for many
things that cannot be handled by ma
chimes, and it is with equanimity that
the planters of the country now look
forward to the growing and harvest

In the great West the grain crops
are coming along splendidly; in the
South the cotton fields are showing
the young plants, and all over the
country there is activity in agricul-

year when the fields are necessarily
bare or uncultivated. But with the

The only way some people can catch
fish is to have sea FOG dealer play
pitcher with a scaly specimen. Since
most fish carry scales. they should
know their own weight. Mention OF

as in salesmanship. good Zine" is
a great asset toward Hooking" re-

happens in fishing. Pull in business
may be Indispensable but, when II
