DON'T talk pessimism. 1t puts
similar ideas into the minds of
other people, and such ideas ere
ate doubt and uncertainty and
hamper the ordinary progress Of
commercial activity and expan-
sion.
If you can't see anything good
in the future get some other fel-
low to do your looking for you
until you can adjust yourself to
conditions and acquire a better
perspective of affairs in genera.
If a man goes out in the morn
ing and tells every person he
meets that he is sick, and keeps
UP the fic ion from day to day, it
will grow on him until he is in
reality unfit for business.
It's so in the business world.
If you want to create disaster go
out and preach it until other peo-
pie begin to take stock in what
you say and to see things as you
do. Then you will soon have dis
aster at least for yourself.
But if you want better times 60
out and preach them, and put the
Joy Of confidence into other
hearts as well as into your own.
The response will be just as great.
Be a sport, and act the part.

Chicago, April 16.-American
policies, foreign crop reports and
grain belt weather combined today
to force prices higher on the Chi
cago board of trade. May wheat
recorded an advance of S cents a
bushel over yesterdays closing
price and other grains and provis-
ions were pulled along with wheat
in the future trading.
There was a regular scramble to
buy wheat at the start Of the mar
ket, but professional and trade or
ders to sell halted the initial ad-
vance when May wheat touched
$1,25. Within the next hour, how
ever, the traders heard that oficial
reports indicated the drouth in
India had wiped out the exportable
wheat surplus in that country, that
the Argentine crop would be q. .000,-
600 bushels less than last years
and that 4 steady drouth Of six
months In France had affected the
crops there adversely.
These factors, taken with storm
reports and forecasts for freezing
temperature over the middle ives,

much for the bears. They scurried
