BE READY FOR
MORE BUSINESS
SAYS HARDING

Birmingham, Ala, May 10.-Mer-
chants of the country were urged to
put on steam and prepare to handle
the business of tomorrow by Gov.
Harding of the Federal Reserve Board
in an address here today by the
Southern Wholesale Dry Goods Asso-
citation.
Many indications of improved con-
ditions both in this country and
abroad are apparent, he declared
and business men should forget the
misfortunes of the past and make
ready for the opportunities of the
future.
The situation today, Gov. Harding
asserted, is in many respects the re-
verse of what it was at the end OF
1919, surplus goods having now gone
into consumption, and there being a
marked reduction in the goods on the
merchants shelves.
The fact that revival in agri-
culture" he said, "has come much
sooner than had been expected by
those who regarded the low prices OF
last summer as permanent, has
brought new hope and courage to
the agricultural districts and affords
a basis for the belief that there will,
in due time, be distinct business inn
provement in those districts
While the situation abroad is still
complicated, he said, there are many
indications of improvement, the ex-
changes of some of the leading Euro
pean countries have become far more
stable during the past year, and the
money spent by the American tourists
now fiocking to Europe will add to
the ability of the foreigners to buy
American goods.
"The past seven years" Gov. Hard
ing continued, "have been full of mo-
mentous and stirring events, and
merchants have had their trials and
their burdens to bear, as well as all
other classes. The worldwide reac-
tion which followed the abnormal ac-
tivities of the early postwar period
had serious effect upon the busi-
ness of wholesale merchants, hut it
is gratifying to know how well they
have stood up under the strain, and
in view of the evidences of improve
ment which are now apparent in all
sections of the country, it seems to
me that the time has come when the
enterprising business man may well
let others indulge in lamentations
and recriminations over the past and
devote his energies to working out
the problems of today and preparing
for the business of tomorrow.
Remember that this country OF
ours has never failed to demonstrate
its tremendous power and that the
processes Of production, distribution
and consumption will be continuous
rs long as humanity endures. Let the
merchants exercise their functions
as distributors. If business is dull
send out. your travelling men; use
printers ink-advertise literally but
judiciously, and the business that you
thus create for yourselves will stimu-
late production and by reducing the
number Sof unemployed will add to
the purchasing power of your Gus
toners"

JENNIE GIVEN PLACE
ON ALL-ANIERICAN TEAM

Western athletes continue to gain
fame and recognition among sport
critics Of the East. This time the
critic is Fred w Ruben, secretary
of the Amateur Athletic Union, who

Five Coast colleges are represent
ed on the all-American college team.
c. w Paddock was placed at first

Eldon Jenne, A. r. Pope, represent
ing the U. of w. heads the shot
putters. The fifth westerner on the
college team is F. Hammer, Stanford,
who throws the javelin.
Secretary Rubien's third all-Amer-
lean team is picked from high school
track teams from every part of the
United States. While this would be
impossible in any other sport, the
time in which any event may be run
gives very fair and accurate basis
of comparison in the cinder path
sport. It is a significant fact that
of the a events listed, half of this
number were awarded to athletes
from California high schools, which
were the only westerners represented.
