The people of this age think they are pretty smart; We even get to thinking that We know more than did all the wise men of the past, and then something happens. About the time that We have about forgotten the old fundamentals and principles some- thing sets us to thinking, some seri- ous reverse that sets us to groping into the hay past for truth. In con- versation with business man about present day problems he remarked that he had recently gotten down his bible and read again the story of Joseph. Ever read it? It's not one of the late books for it was written some thousands of years ago, but in it is one of the greatest lessons in political economy ever written. h. stead of spending his money during the 2 fat years on high-powered cars and joy riding with Pharios daught- CTS Joseph was filling the barns of Egypt with corn. Then came seven years of famine and Joseph had corn to sell all over the East. Joseph liv- ed we'll and he lived clean. When a mere kid he had a coat of many colors and later wore robes of royal purple and dwelt in palaces, but history tells of nOnn who excaedad him in the practice of industry and thrift When you get all begged up in the financial mire and your mind is all logged with reading financial reports, forecasts and dope, get down the old book and let Joseph tell you how to come out of it.
