Go 10 Work.

Many people are of the
opinion that now that the new
administration is in office and
its views are fairly well knC BD,
there should be no further delay
in the revival of business
throu ghout the country.
Every change of administrs-
ton brings its period of doubt
and uncertainty. The moneyed
interests do not know just how
far it is safe to go, hence they
set the brakes and mark time by
a temporary curtailment OF ex~
penditdres. This produces s nat
ural slump in business that IS
designated by some as hard
times,
Mr.. Harding has indicated that
he desires conservative bat pro-
gressive administration, free
from entangling foreign allan
ces, and with the protection that
should be afforded legitimats
business interests in every Sec
ton of the country.
1t is time for big business to
get down to the steady grind
again, and for little bushes TO
hit the same pace.

KENTUCKIAN TELLS
OF WORST FAMINE
The Rev. William Stout Blames
China's Catastrophe to De-
struction of Forests
WILL SPEAK OVER STATE

Destruction Of North China's great
forests during the centuries that have
passed; this deforestation which now
leaves an area of $4,000 square miles
denuded of trees, is the direct cause
of the worst famine in history. This
is the declaration of missionaries re-
turning from the famine area and
voiced by the Rev. William Stout, who
has returned to his home in George
town, KY, after five years in China.
The Rev. Mr.. Stout will start a
speaking tour of the state next week
In the interest of the China Famine
Fund of which Joseph Burge, Board
of Trade Building, Louisville, is chair
man.
Through the China Famine Fund,
every relief organization in China is
supplied with funds; these Organiza-
tions, including the Red Cross, the Sal
walton Army, Christian missions, re-
ligious organizations and American
units.
Deforestation Is Blamed.
"This great catastrophe which
threatens to wipe out the lives of 49,
100000 persons within the next sixty
days, he said, is due to drouths, the
natural result of the denudation of
forests which has gone on for centu-
ries in North China. With few trees
on the land to hold the moisture the
natural consequence is that rainfall is
small and uncertain. Even in years
when the rainfall is sufficient the Vel
low River and other rivers break over
their banks, unprotected By trees,
washing away the soil and deluging
the crops.
at is a prevalent idea that rice is
the main food of all the Chinese peo-
pie. This is true in South China where
travellers get their impression and Is
strengthened by the fact that nearly
all the Chinese in America came from
South China. In the fall, wheat Is
sown in North China and after being
harvested in the early summer, millet
and sorghum are sown.
Roots Always Eaten.
@Al these crops are harvested by
being pulled up by the roots as these
with the stalks and straw of the grain
are the main dependence for fuel. In
the years when crops are short it does
not mean only that some little Injuries
viii have to be given up, but it means
that there will be less of the coarse
m1llet meal bread:-It means that when
the potatoes are gone the vines will be
eaten; it means that instead of two or
three meals day there viii be only
one.
when crop failure is fifty per
cent, as it often is, it means that many
starve to death. The last FIVE crops
have been only about ten per cent Of
normal.
Practically all Of North China is

Auto King Takes Optimistic View
OF Future.

Detroit, Henry Ford doesn't
need any money from Wall
Street ''loan sharks" he declared
in an interview here last week.
He received, orders for 81, 900
automobiles in January, he said.
He expects business conditions
to improve.
Twenty thousand men are now
employed in the Ford plant
The entire payroll of 43. ZOO men
will be employed on alternating
two week periods until full capac-
ity production is resumed.
A good feature of the existing
industrial situation is that the
price of steel is being forced
down, Mr.. Ford declared.
"The motor industry is the
mainstay of practically all other
enterprises, and its future is as
sured as long as the world keeps
moving" he said. ''The world
to-day is on wheels and am GER
tain that it always will be. The
motor industry is called upon to
supply those wheels, and the de-
mand is getting stronger all the
time.
"But what about financing the
industry? Have you succeeded
ia getting that $4,000, 900 yet?''
Mr.. Ford was asked.
II didn't know we needed it
until few loan sharks came out
and tried to tell US we did," he
replied, with a laugh. but !
think we proved to a few of them
that we could take care of our
selves"
We talked in Mr.. Ford's priv
ate office. On the walls were
many photographs, among them
those of Thomas Edison, John
Burroughs and the Prince OF
Wales. In one corner was a
black leather chair and into this
Mr.. Ford sank.
"What would say about future
business conditions. Mr., Ford? %
he was asked Twill they ever re-
turn to normal?"
