DON'T BE A GLOOMY GUS

We think il is up 10 every bushes
man-and who Is not a business man
in good old America?-to strike a
hopeful keynote in his advertising.
We say this to our local men Of
business, to our farmers, too, and TO
every man who Ell, what he has,
even if all ne has in his daily labor.
Because thare has been a slump on
the price OF this, that or the other
commodity, il i the poorest reason
in te world for talking hard times.
Pessimism never won anything.
Gloom is thing of the grave; it is
not for the living man with future
before him,
The times may have been bad for
4 lot CT Us for some months pa Z, but
as everything change, going from
one extreme 20 the other and striking
nolmalcy in between, we all know
that there are good time. ahead
and not very far ahead either if we
all put the best foot forward and the
best smile to the front
The man who RECEIVERS first from
the gloom Of his bad bu~inc $, or
poor wages, or whatever it was that
hit him, is the man who is going to
have the most pro spol;ty in the better
times that are on their way, that are
on their way just as sure as the san
comes up end out OF the east every
morning. He is going to have the
most prosperity because his effort
will stretch over a larger period than
the fellow who slouches gloomily an
til the good times are 50 apparent
that they hit him in the nose.
Therefore, we LAY to the business
man who advcrtises: Put optimism
in your ads. To the farmer and other
workers, whose tongues are their ads,
we say: Talk good times; they're
coming and soon.

DAWES APPEARS AS
 CABINET MYSTERY
Mentioned for Treasury Job, But Nobody knows-ViSiting
 Harding Today.

St Augustine, Fla, Feb. 12.- Charles c. Dawes. Chicago banker who has been prominently under con- sideration for appointment as secre- tary of the treasury, headed Presi- dent-elect Harding's appointment list for today with a conference that started a new train of cabinet specu- lation here.
 Once conceded to have first call on the treasury portfolio, but more re- gently regarded less formidable for the place, MT. Dawes has become one of the mystery men of the cabinet problem. It was said at Harding s headqua rters that his call was not the result of a formal appointment made at MT. Harding's request but in some quarters the fact of his coming at this time was interpreted as evidence that he still is being considered for some high government position.
 Mir. Dawes is in Florida to visit relatives, having come directly from Washington where he created a sen sation last week by publicly con- demning the methods of the repub- ncan majority in congress in it's inves- tigation of the conduct of the war. Regarding his course in that regard MT. Harding and the officials close to him have had nothing to say nor would they make any comment on the significance of today's conference.
