AMERICA LEADS
TO PROSPERITY
Vice President Coolidge Reviews Pro-
gress Towards Economic Stability
and Mental P0ise.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 16.--Ameri-
ca is regaining it's mental poise, re-
establishing its economic stability and
leading the nations in one of the
great liberal movements of mankind
Vice President Calvin Coolidge, in an
address tonight, told the Philadelphia
Forum.
No American, he said, could survey
the developments of the last year
without renewed faith in the finsn-
cia strength and the moral vigof Of
the nation and renewed hope for the
welfare of the world.
"There have been doubts" the
speaker said, "but they are being
solved. There have been trials, but
they are passing away. The hand of
man is turning again to industry, men
and nations are coming closer and
closer in the harmonious relationship
of peace"
Through q series of fortunate cir
cumstauces America has been permit
ted to recover first from the disas-
trous effects of the war, the speaker
said.
But from our great accomplish
ment we ought not to turn to discour-
agement, but to courage. If ever there
was a time that time is now when the
people of America and of the earth
ought to feel with increasing warrant
that they are established in the power
to do and dare. This process has al
ready begun. No one who knows
America could doubt that not for long
will she continue to face facts with a
lack of courage"

NEW REGULATIONS ON
QUAPAW LAND LEASES

(From the Miami Record Herald.)
New regulations covering the leas-
ing Of mineral lands Of restricted
Quapaw Indians were announced
Monday by 0. X. Chandler, superin-
tendent of the combined Quapaw, and
Seneca agencies. The new regula-
tions, which are of vital interest to
everyone interested in mining opera
tions in the Tri-State district, were
received last week from the commits
sioner of Indian Affairs at Washing
ton. but several days were required
to place them in suitable form for
publication. They supersede all pre-
vious regulations. The new regula-
tions have been summarized as fol-
lows:
Section 26 of the act of congress
approved March 2, 1895, is amended
so as to extend restrictions on GER
tain lands of Quapaw for 25-year
period. Provision, however, is made
that the secretary of the interior can,
with or Without the application OF
the owner, remove these restrictions;
that all these lands allotted to or in
herited by the Quapaw Indians may,
when subject to restrictions against
alienation, be leased for mining pur-
poses for such periods of time and
under such rules, regulations and
terms and conditions only as may be
prescribed by the secretary of the in
terror, and such lands, while restrict
ed against alienation, may be leased
for mining purposes only.
! 1t is further provided that minerals
from such lands may be taxed by the
State of oklahoma the same as unre-
stricted lands. The secretary OF the
interior is also directed to cause to
be paid from the individual Indian
! funds held under his supervision, be-
longing to the Indian owner OF the
land the tax so assessed against the
ROYALTY interests of the owner in sucl
production as long as it does not be-
come lien or charge against THE
! land.

HIRING AND FIRING

1t costs 500 to make change in
an office clerk or similar worker, ac-
corrling to the figures of the National
Employment board. The losses cauS-
ed by inexperience and errors of a
new employe, and the time it takes to
give instruction are equivalent to that
expenditure.
People who do poor work should
not thereby be encouraged in careless
ness, thinking that their employers
will put up with their mistakes rather
than make a change. The tendency
of employers is in the opposite di-
rection. They get so disgusted with
poor work that they "fire" employees
with little thought that the ones who
take their places may be no better,
and will require even more coaching,
But it pays to show patience with any
worker who manifeStS willingness
Sometimes those who learn the slow
est, are the most dependable when
their working habits are well es-
tabhShed.

THE INDUSTRIAL CYCLE

Students Of business have realized
for many years that prosperity ard
depression follow each othef. in GER
tain waves or cycles. When business
is good, it can be foreseen that cer-
tain conditions are opening that tend
to cause reaction, and when business
is bad, conditions are working that
create prosperity.
Roger w. Babson, well known
statistician, stated in recent tours
about the country, that business tends
to go through IL distinct periods
from one point to another. During
the latter part of a period of pros
perity, the tendencies toward ex-
travagance, inefficiency and dis
honesty become very strong. They
make all kinds of goods cost high.
Hence multitudes of people are not
able to buy their customary supplies.
This leads to shutting down of fac
tories and unemployment and suffer
ing results.
Then during such a period, useful
qualities are developed which tend to
build up prosperity again. People
save their money, they live with less
luxury, they work harder, they are
more efficient, and they are encour-
aged or forced to be more honest.
These conditions make merchandise
less expensive, and they promote the
buying power of the people, so that
goods sell more freely. Idle men are
put to work, and before long prosper
ity returns. That in the natural
course of things again produces ex-
travagance, inefficiency and dis
| honesty, and the country again goes
through with the same cycle.
All these depressions could be a
voided, if the people at large under
stood these truths better. If wher
prosperity comes they would still
manifest thrift, give their best ser
vice, work hard and make an honest
return for every dollar they get, bust
ness would remain permanently at {
high level Human welfare woulc
make broad and continuous advance
instead of being constantly inter
rupted by depression. periods.

LESSON OF THE GOOD FARMER

There is one essential in all eco
nomic life. 1t is a lesson taught us
primarily by the good farmer. The
wise producer does not consume or
waste or sell all of his products. He
keeps his best seed for the next years
planting and if there is any doubt
about his needs for the winter he
maintains a surplus against misfor-
tune or untoward circumstances,
The trouble or one trouble with the
people of the United States during
the fat years of the war and imme-
diately succeeding was that they
spent all of, their earnings, or most of
them, in riotous living. AS this term
comes from the Bible it is apparent
that human nature has not changed
very much in six thousand years.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
during the war in any city hundreds
of young men spent from $40 to 500
for silk shirts and these particular
evidences of extravaganza are now
rarely seen.
If the entire country had observed
as faithfully a nationwide money
saving program from 1917 to January
/, 1921, as it observed food saving
under Mr.. Hoover's direction in 1917
and 1918, there would be little or nc
complaint of hard times and close
money.-The Manufacturer.
