Let us see now how poorer
rather how rich this country really
isl As a nation we are worth two
hundred and twenty-five billion dol
lars net. Our nearest rival is Eug-
land worth only 80 billion dollars.
We have three-ffths of all the gold
IN the world, and gold is the basis of
credit for nations and individuals
alike. In our banks there is more ac-
uual money than in all the rest of the
banks Of all civilized countries of the
world combined. Ponder well over
this fact. No other country COM
pares with our own in quantity and
quality Of raw products, cultivated
and cultivable area; our water power
is matchlcss. We have a greater and
more efficient amount Of manufactur-
ing facilities than any other country,
or several Of them together Then,
considering all Of these wonderful adj
vantages, why should we be in the
dumps now?
Here is probably the most import
ant single item Of all. Read il very
carefully 50 that you can readily APP
preciate that all in the world this
country needs now is the loosening
of the bankers purse strings. The
ration of total reserves Of the Fed
eral Reserve System a year ago, after
setting aside the required IS per cent
against deposits, was AS per cent.
Today il is 1910 per cent. The bills
held have been reduced roughly.
$500, 900, 900. Total earning assets
have been pulled down from above
81, 81, OOO. 900 20 $1,000, 900, 900, a
fall OF fully 81 ,120, 100000. The net
demand deposits Of reporting mem
Der banks have been reduced thru
calling Of loans) from $lI 300, 00O,-
600 year ago to less than 10000
600, 600 today. Meanwhile the gold
reserves Of the Federal Reserve
Banks have increased $500, 600, 900
or less than % per cent.
Now, as to cotton Truly, it looks
AT the moment as if the amount of
cotton on hand throughout the world
on December / will be the very lar
gest in all history. Facing such n
situation If we were to employ only
logical deductions a. though normal
conditions existed, il would be easy
to figure how and why cotton should
sell at or cents per pound. But
wait The backs Of all nations. as
we'll a. the shelves of all the stores
Of the world. were never before so
bare Of cotton fabrics as they are
'this -minute. Beyond all question of
doubt we will soon be enjoying the
greatest demand in all history as we'll
For these reasons we predict with
absolute confidence that cotton will
sell above / s cents per pound before

COL. JOHN CONAHAN
LOCATES IN MERIDIAN

This weeks issue of the Riverton,
Wyoming, Review, says:
Col. John Conahan who left here
about two weeks ago for Meridian,
Idaho, to take up his home and en-
gage in his occupation as auctioneer,
writes that he is well pleased with
conditions there and believes he will
do good business. Mr.. Conahan who
made his home in the Riverton valley
for many years, left here because his
farm was affected by seepage and be-
cause of an insufficient amount of
business to keep him engaged as
Meridian being a more
thickly settled community has more
sales.
MRS. Conahan did not accom- pany
her husband and is making her home
In Riverton until he gets satisfac-
tory home. Riverton and community
will miss the Conahan family and
trust they will not decide to remain
away permanently"

In order to enable the state "a

struction of highways within the

population less than $500 are en-
titled to the state aid in highway

Aurora, Ill, Oct. 22,-The Illinois
Federation of Labor in its 18th an

eventually all natural resources OF
the nation.
In other resolutions the conven-
ton condemned the appointment
of William ]. Burns as chief of the
secret service of the federal de-
partment of justice, expressed re-

ance and declared that present I'M

natural resources" The coopera-

remedy.

day and must work fast as there
are upwards of twenty resolutions
still to be discussed and acted
