Read This Story of Country
Working Back to Good Times"
And Take Hope For The Future
Analysis of General Conditions Over the Country Show Steady
and Wholesome ImprOvement.-S0utiOn of Many
Problems Is Now In Sight

New York, July 26.-The country
has settled down with a will and q
strong determination to work out the
great problems which have been left
for solution. In some respects the
situation has improved, in other il
has become actually worse, while in
others there is practically no change
from year ago. But the American
people have learaed to appreciate con
ditions as they are instead of what
they had hoped them to be, and are
not building on any false optimism.
They realize that only by hard work
can the mountain of problems which
the last five years Of war conditions
piled up be removed, and that 1t is
better to provide satisfactory foun-
daticn for genuine revival than to let
the country make false start and
have the preliminary work to do over
again.
But the most conservative system
of checking up" furnishes ample
evidence that much has been accom-
plished in recent months, Tho cost
Of living and the cost Of doing bust
ness have been greatly reduced
through the reduction in prices and
wages and the lowering Of interest
rates.
The basic strength Of our banking
system has been immensely improved
through the extraordinary inflow Of
gold from Europe and the reduction Of
loans and money circulation. The
great British coal strike has been set
tied and production resumed in vast
area where social upheaval at ono
time seemed to threaten.
Had that strike succeeded. the re-
action upon other nations would have
been so disturbing that chaos might
have resulted and the mechanism OF
the producing world thrown out of
gear. The domestic industrial situa.
ton has been cleared up to & great
extent through unemployment is all
too prevalent over large area; crop
yields and railroads earnings, two of
the most important barometcrs Of
business conditions, point to better
times ahead.
In these ways the situation has been
greatly improved within the last few
and while the horizon is by
no means clear, world conditions
which have vital bearing upon home
conditions show marked improvement.
Coming Back Strong.
No man possessed of his senses and
familiar with the grit, hrawn and
productive genius Of the American
people can doubt that the country will
come back" splendidly and be 100
Der cent efficient. It's recovery, how
'ver, will be conditioned upon the
,doption of safe standards Of living
md the determination of the Ameri-
an people to produce more and to
ave more.
Sensible living methods are being
Idopted everywhere with the elimina-
ion of wartime wages and cxtrava-
.ant profits. The South has set TO
work. with a vengeance to make good
he losses growing out OF the low I

price Of cotton. The West is trying
to compensate itself for the decline IN
grain prices and in farm products.
This is the only effective way Of solv-
ing the great problem Of reconstruct
ion, for the price structure had to
collapse before fundamental improve
ments could take place.
4 With commodity prices nearly so
per cent below the peak level of last
year and wages materially reduced
and going lower, the situation has
changed in remarkable way.
In banking circles the major atten.
tion has been directed to the Iiquida-
tion of frozen credits" Both domes-
tically and IN foreign trade there is a
large stock Of goods which Is being
carried by the banks on the strength
of credit which was originally regard
cd as short term, but which has prov
ed to be Of the long term variety.
The immense overstocks Of cotton
and grain which are being provided
for in this country have long been
recognized as an important factor in
the situation, while also, great guam
titles of wool are being provided for
in the same way. both in this country
and in Europe. The banks have also
been carrying loans based upon ware
house hemp, sugar, rubber and other
raw products. They have been work
ing systematically and vigorously to
clear up this situation, and, for the
most part, with very good success.
Cotton.
Unless most of the usually reliable
signs fail, the cotton market has pass
cd through the extreme period of its
depression and the cotton producer
should begin to see better times. The
clements of decentralization in the tex
tile industry have nearly all disap-
peared. Many Southern banks have
some awkward cotton loans on their
books, but with patience and prudence
these can in time be cleared up. Many
loans have already been paid off or
are being reduced.
The new crop is beng raised at
cost very much less than that Of last
year The growers can discharge
some Of their debts ON their country
merchants who thus will be placed in
an easier position with their banks.
In year or two, except in
special instances. the great slump
Of l92O-2l will be largely re-
minder Of the mistakes which
many other producers made dur
ing that period. The South will
not be long in coming back" FL
nancially.
Two things have frightened the
outlook for cotton recently. One Is

At home and abroad. In this country
many mills which have been shut
lown or have been running on short

appear that stocks or goods and yarns

LACKS HELP AND
RIGHT KIND OF
QUARTERS HERE

New York.-Gustave Van Bouch
auto, who makes stucco models of
the human anatomy for the leading
medical colleges, soon will return
to Belgium because he can't find
quarters in New York at the right
price and because he can't obtain
the proper help here. In his work.
he says, long training is required
and he has been unable to find any
one willing to serve the apprentice
ship.
Van Bouchaute revolutionized
the art of making anatomical mod
els. The old models were clumsy,
heavy and often inaccurate.
Commissioned by Bellevue hos
pital in this city, the Belgian set
out to produce models that should
be light, absolutely accurate and
perfectly colored. He succeeded
after years of painstaking work
and infinitismal xactitude in max
ing the models to nearly perfect
that it was difficult to tell the diff
ference from the original organ.
