The eriahter Outlook

The courage and level headness of the people of the Salt River Valley, together with the considera- ton and aid auditors office have effected the reopening of the banks which suspended in the nomentary furry of ago. The result has been a measure of confidence in this community reater than that which prevailed before The whole episode has clarifying and strengthening. It has been a fine illustration of the results of CO., operation
 There has been concealment of the fact that the valley hard hit by the cotton situation. We were all aware last fall. But the people did no, weaken. Pessimists and those to whom disaster t~ a sweet morsel to be rolled under the tongue phessed the worst but the people. whole were ter than the most sangune and best informed citi- anticipated.
 There is brighter outlook for cotton now and when consider the vast amount of cotton to the credit of the valley, connection with prices which we may reasonably expect to receive for it, see that it bring a large volume of money.
 It s true that cannot expect that events will so turn out prove that cotton raising last was profitable It is true that cot ton growers will have to pocket losses and disap poin,ment at receiving the profits they expected a year ago But they may consider themselves for tunate in comparison with farmers early nineties when they found themselves only with cut money but with no resources which could be turned into money.

ONE WAY TO GET GAR SEATS

The two women who entered the crowded subway train were neither stylishly dressed nor plainly dressed. But 1t is to be doubted whether the fellow passengers in the car noticed how they were dressed. What they noticed was that both walked with a peculiar lameness.
 Now men who had remained seated while women, young and old. stood could not well brave it out with two lame girls standing in front of them. So no sooner had the two women found their way into the car than two men sprang to their feet and offered them a place.
 As the train stopped at Times square the two girls rose. Without the least indication of a limp they walked to the door.
 What do you call that?' asked one of the men who had given up his seat
 ''Greenwich Village stuff answered the second victim to the deception
 But they weren't lame." said the first man.

THE ONCE OVER
By H. '. PHILLIPS

all three of us were right about it. AS far as motion is concerned, I'll leave that to the shimmy dancers They ought to know more about it than a professor"
 'Tt also says here" continued tn wife, that if one man throws an- other off rapidly moving railroad train it appears to the man doing the throwing that the other falls in { perpendicular line. but to a person standing beside the tracks the body appears to fall not only downward but forward with the train"
 Why not leave it to the guy who's been thrown off the train?" asked Innbadd. "He ought to know more about it than any one else"
 According to the Einstein theory he falls in a curved line," sztA Mrs Innbadd.
 T suppose a guy who has just beer fired off moving train would be highly relieved to know whether he landed according to Einstein's theo- ries or not" remarked Ignatius, wit a note of sarcasm. ''The important thing is that he was thrown off, and the only important thing after that is to get an ambulance. I supposf you'd leave him fay until Eipstein could figure it out satisfactorily"
 "It says that similarly rays of light from the stars and sun, instead ot coming straight to the earth, are bent" resumed Mrs. Innbadd.

"As lay in an open lot witf one foot through my straw hat I re ID ember the rays of the setting sur appeared to have no sense of direc- tion at all. They just wobbled aim- lessly about the skies.

THE CURE FOR CHAOS
BY DR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

Chaos in the world of business is the result of the rise and fall of prices
 And we are all in business. The problem of eat ing, dressing and paying the rent is that comes more intimately home to every of than any other.
 It is the ups and downs of prices that cause the fluctuation in wages, and foment industrial trouble
 It is the same cause that is the reason why busi- ness is not business, so much as it is gambling.
 It is that which has dslocated the of the world.
 Few thinkers have gone to the bottom of things and inquired for the fundamental of this fuctu ation One of these few, however is Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University
 His answer to the question is that the prices of commodities go up and down not because their values alter but because the value of the gold dollar alters in which they must ultimately be paid.
 Almost gains long or gains much" he says, either from rising prices from falling prices To society whole there is in either great net economic loss, well great injury to social justice and good will.
 ssWhen people are hurt, but do not know what hurts them, they become suspicious of almost every thing and everybody.
 What is needed, therefore, is to stabilize, or standardze the dollar, just have already stand ardized the yardstck the pound weight, the bushel basket the pint cup the horsepower, the volt, and i deed all the units of commerce except the dollar All of these units of have passed through the evolution from the rough-andready units of primitive times to the accurate ones of today.

Today have at Washington Bureau of Stand ards, where the modern yardstick is determined by bar of metal alloy kept in of constant tempera ture, under glass case, and not approached by the observer lest the warmth of his body should it to vary but sighted by telescope across the room!
 Except the dollar of the old units any longer considered good enough for modern business The dollar is the only survival of those primitive crudities
 'sWe tolerate cratic dollar only because the havoc it plays is attributed to other agencies If it's victims knew the truth about the dollar it would be stabilized at the very next session of congress.
 Professor Fishers solution is to vary the weight of the gold dollar in accordance with the ndex number" or average price of the standard commodities.
 His plan has been we'll received and approved by many economists, fancers and business associations and it is surely worth thinking

THE iNNBADDS ON THE EIN-
 STEIN THEORY

What is this Einstein theory?' asked Mrs Ignatius Innbadd as she looked over the evening paper.
 T didn't know he had a theory" returned Ignatius. T stopped in on the way home this afternoon and he said nuthin to me about it.'
 .'Who?" countered Mrs. Innbadd.
 'Einstein, the delicatessen dealer replied Ignatius. Anyhow, the only theory that bird has is that business is business"
 T refer to Mir. Einstein, the great scientist now visiting our shores, snapped Mrs. Innbadd; you don't seem to know the names of any prominent men unless they play on one of the big league baseball teams. If Ty Cobb had a new theory you'd know all about it."
 Now that you mention it. I recall reading something about Professor Einstein and his theory. That was the night I went to bed so dizzy. l read through five or six ragraphs trying to find out just what his theo-- ry was and why and what of 1t, but I suffered a spell of aphasia, and when I came to I found myself try ing to crawl in the cuckoo clock and endeavoring to get the cuckoo to come out and read me the rest of the article in the newspaper.
 It's a very important theory" re- marked Mrs. Innbadd
 Its a very important one not to worry about" insisted Ignatius. Pro lessor Einstein has spent his life reaching this theory. At last he has found it. Let him keep it: he saw il first"
 ..The professor is willing we should share it with him |" said Mrs Innbadd There's evidently enough to gc around. I think when a professor is sport enough to come right out with his theories and pass 'em around without partiality it is every persons duty to take one"
 Well, what's it all about?" de manded Ignatius, 'Tn bite. Go on and give me the answer"
 T dunno" confessed the wife, 'but if I was a man I'd know
 The women have everything else in common with men these days" re- turned Ignatius. Let 'em have the Einstein theory. They can have my share, anyhow"
 ''It says here,' went on Mrs. Inn badd. that it deals with new theories of gravitation, new laws of light anc about motion in general"
 If there are any new laws of light the gas and electric companies will be making you pay for them; don't worry about that" remarked Igna tius. '.All I know about gravitatior is that if you drop off a roof you1 just naturally travel in a downward direction at an increasing rate ol speed-and I only know that from ob servation.

No wonder the recently arrived foreigner of in telligence points with asonishment and surprise to the metropolitan papers They bite at bait that the papers of less note would scorn to look at A while ago. a nmble liar confessed to a murder that he had not committed. several days his detailed descriptions of the previously mysterious tragedy occupied large parts of the first pages; of sud den he declared himself been lying and then he boomed out in full.

BUSINESS

country newspaper advertising the
situation is worthy of analysis.
The following letter tells 1t W
story. 1t was sent to the list OF coun'
try newspapers that carried the copy

mr.. Editor-You no doubt Will be
interested to hear that our direct
orders for L. & NJ. Semi Paste Paint
exceed previous years by ITO per cent
for the same period of time.
This large increase confirms our
judgment that the weekly newspaper
which circulates among the local mer-
chants customers is the most satisfac-
tory advertising medium TO pull bust
ness for the advertiser.
The business pulling power of the
weekly newspaper is, in our opinion,
due to its keeping in close touch with
Its town people, their habits and ways;
