the new year will see revival OF
comparative prosperity. There is ev
cry reason to expect that the farmer
will get around IL cents for his cot
ton And under the economical cOndl-
tons that have been employed in the
production of the crop, this should as
sure reasonable balance, enabling
him to pay his bills with the merchant
and the latter, in turn. with the
Wholesaler and the banks, and so on,
that money may again be in freer cir
CulatiOn."
The above words are taken from a
business prophecy Of Judge F. W..
Ramsey. federal agent and chairman
of the board Of the Eleventh District
Federal Reserve Bank. The words
were spoken at an informal gathering
Of business and civic leaders in the
chamber of commerce rooms, July y
Of this year.
The speech does credit to The proph-
ct. At the time the words were utter
ed they were received as an inspira-
ton to new cndcavOr and a stimulus to
new courage for Judge Ramsey is
known for conservatism and has nev-
er INDUCED in idle Speculations.
One month later we find that the
prophecy is in its fultillment. Cotton

The upward tendency of cotton is
but one of the many signs of better
times. Unemployment Is reported on
the decrease in the greater part of the
country. Plans are under way for ma

solution Of the employment problem,
with a view of preventing possible suf-

of Hoarding" is prompted by the writ
er's conviction that there are in many
communities men who are SHINING
against themselves and their fellows
BY keeping from $500 to $4,000
around the house; "they are laborins
under the impression that things are
going to get worse and worse until the
final crash comes and that then they
will be at q peculiar advantage be-
cause they have a stock of hard cash
on hand The point is that
Cash kept around the house is dead
money. Cash deposited in the bank
Is live money. A dollar of cash de-
posted In the bank serves as a source
Of from s. to $40 Of credit. The man
who keeps $1,000 around the house is
in effect, preventing five to ten ether
men from borrowing $1,000 each from
the bank. We suspect that there is at
least $5,OOO,0OO in the State Of Iowa
being kept out Of circulation by timid
hoarders. This $5,0OO,0OO if it werf
put in the bank would serve as q
source of from $25,OOO,OOO to $4,000,

Never keep more than $50 in casl
around the house, and if you can gel
along with as little as $40, by all means
do 70. II you have large quantities OF
money on hand there is always danger
Of losing 1t by robbery or fire. But tht
biggest reason why all surplus money
should find its way into the bank a
promptly as possible is that banks arr
credit factories, and the raw materia
Of the credit which they manufacture
Is hard cash. Remember that the bank
makes out Of every dollar Of casl
which you deposit, from S. to $1(
worth Of credit. We are satisfied thai
II only one-half Of the money which al
present Is being boarded in the United
States were deposited with the banks
