Gov. Harding Sees Prosperity
Rainbow

Governor Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board, has sent thrill through
the nation in his report to Congress on
the general business outlook. Summed up,
he says the United States is facing an era
of prosperity of longer duration than the
country ever has known. While he con-
servatively lodges expressing personal
opinion, and says there are those who be-
lieve" the beginning of the revival is not
far distant, we cannot escape the optim-
istic tenor of the report. Governor Har-
ding is too wise to quote "those who be-
lieve" unless he is convinced that "those
who believe" have knowledge and opinion
that command serious consideration.
Backing up the statements of the Fed
eral Reserve governor comes the report
that the steel mills are buster than they
have been in year, a strong indication of
the trend of the times, and plus this we
see that the first victory of the farm bloc
has created a favorable reaction in all
parts of the country.
The story of the business merry-go-
round always has been the same-busness
expansion, excessive production, wild spec
ulation and the inevitable topping over
of the load, long and slow liquidation,
business depression, stagnation, with the
public mind finally stunned and gloom pre-.
vailing. Next comes the desire for i'm
provement, then recognition of the fact
that the people can be prosperous when
ever they want to be prosperous because
the cruX of the matter is work. normal
production and cheerful aspect. Finally
we get action. and united effort to hoist
the old flag once more.
Unless all signs fail the new business
revival will be marked by greater con
troll on the part of the farmer If he keeps
his head and does not rush headlong into
the field of speculation Governor Har-
ding's prediction of long era of pros
perity will be fulfilled. Let the farmer
take his higher place in the order of things
and show himself as Stabilizing factor
worthy of his greater and well-deserved
recognition. Our guess is that he will
The farmer has never failed when called

Proposed Charter for

As a result of the efforts of the COM

are outstanding. With large bonded in

@ Editorial @
A Real Government Opportunity

1t is hoped the passing of Will H.
Hays into the movie world will not slow
up the government effort to develop air
communication with the millions of the
American people resident in our rural dis
tricts. There is something impressive but
also perhaps pitiable in noting the curious
thousands Of fad followers in thickly popu-
lated cities listening in to great broad
casting stations sending out their educa-
tional diScourses and ragtime concerts
while the welfare OF the nation awaits the
rapid and widespread transmission of use
ful information TO the farmer. Science has
wrested this great new wonder from the
hidden recesses Of natures storehouse but
i remains for the government to find a
practical means for its intelligent and use
ful application. The sixty odd millions of
people who live in the little towns of the
country cannot afford two or three hun
dred dollars for patented wireless sets and
yet the hope of the world lies in their con-
tact with the scheme of things. Instan-
taneous world communication will put an
end to destructive wars far sooner than
all the disarmament that ever has been
dreamed about. and the world will be en-
riched beyond our Imagination through its
agriculture when our farmers can sense
each morning the needs and the pulse of
all the people. A little pep mixed with
vision and realization that money spent
in this way is money spent for public good
will soon put Texas in touch with Broad
way, and il will put the tiller of the soil
so close to the Wall Street coupon clipper
that misunderstanding and manipulation
Will melt before the sun of mutual know
ledge. The government can do no more
helpful thing than follow with the great
est earnestness and speed the Hays plan
of broadcasting information and in way
that will permit those who need it most to
get il without unreasonable cost.

Where Do Our Schools Stand?

There is something deplorable in the
report that in 10000 papers returned by
students of high schools. colleges and
normal schools six out of ten questions
about men, places and problems of current
public Importance are answered wrong or
omitted.
Taking 1000 of this years high
school graduating class in country dis
tricts, small towns and cities the Institute
for Public Service TO which the 10000
papers We're turned over by the Review
of Reviews for analysis, finds that 40 did
not recognize President Harding's picture:
80 did not know who Pershing was 63Y
did not know the meaning of open shop"
go could not mention an item of current
interest connected with Washington where
the disarmament conference was in ses-
sion. not to mention congress: 500 could
not remember the much advertised Budget
Director Dawes; 500 did not know that
Mellon is Secretary of the Treasury: $40
could not recognize the picture of the
United States commissioner of education.
and 7lo did not even know the name of
their own state school executive.
The only hopeful sign was that fewer
senior boys failed on De Valera. Leonard
Wood and Lloyd George than on who won
the world series or the star actor in The
Three Musketeers. and in the fact that
more girl seniors knew about Sim Fein
and the soldier bonus than kenw about
Susan Lenglen and Ruth Law.

luck SURELY WITH CARNEGIE
In His Autobiography the lronmastes
Has Told of an Amazing Piece
Of Fortune.

Business acquaintances and rivals
Of Andrew Carnegie's used to declare
that in addition to his remarkable abil-
ity and farsightedness he was blessed
with amazing luck. An incident early
in the ironmasters career seems to
Justify the assertion. A piece of care
lessness that might have ruined an
other man resulted, In Carnegie's case,
only In a brief scare.
One morning, he relates In his auto
biography he set out from Altoona
for Pittsburgh with a package of pay
rolls and checks under his waistcoat-
for the package was too large for his
pockets. He was very enthusiastic
railroader at that time and liked to
ride on the engine. 1t was very rough

place, uneasily feeling for the pack
jolting Of the train had shaken 1t out |!
There was" he says, mo use in dis
guising the fact that such a failure
would ruin me, for to have been sent
for the pay rolls and checks and to
lose the package was a dreadful show
Ing. 1 called the engineer and told
him that IL must have been shaken out
within the last few miles. Would he
reverse his engine and run back for 1t?
Kind soul, he did 80. 1 watched the
line, and on the bank Of q large stream
within few feet Of the water l saw
the package. could hardly believe
my eyes. l ran down and grasped It,
It was not damaged. Need add that
it never passed out Of my firm grasp
again until 1t was safe in Pittsburgh
Il never ventured to tell the story
until long afterward. Suppose that
package had fallen just a few feet
farther away and been swept down
by the stream; how many years Of
faithful service it would have res
CURED to wipe out the effect of that
one piece Of carelessness
II have never since believed, says he,
In being too hard on a young man,
even If he does commit dreadful mis-
take or two; and In Judging such acts
l have always tried to remember the
difference it would have made in my
own career II had not found that lost
package."-YOuth's Companion.

Rabbit Sandwiches Are Good.

Oakesdale, hamlet near OthellO,
Wash, is known as the sandwich town
Of the Northwest Overland trains
stop at Oakesdale and there are al
ways many hungry folk on board
COmely lasses, wearing white
aprons, enter the cars or sell from the
platform an endless variety of sand
wiches, said by experienced travellers
to beat anything ever seen elsewhere
The trains are delayed long enough
so that all west-bodnd tourists have
an opportunity to taste Oalesdale's
newest and most popular sandwiches,
jackrabbit or sage hen. The roasted
meat of these two local products, be
smeared with butter and comforted
between two slices of fresh bread, are
the temptation placed before new
cOmers.

of thirty varieties Of sandwiches, each
as large as pie plate.-New York

HALE TO The END
Old Chronicles Tell Of Some Re-
markable Centenarians.
According to Newspapers and Maya
zines of the Last Century They
Were a Rugged Lol.

Tales Of the prodigious feats of cen
tenarian and near-centenarian ances
tors have been handed down i'll many
families for generations, until now the!
are accepted only as the fancifu
dreams of the aged, exaggerated bJ
retelling. A study of old magazines
and newspapers, however, shows thai
during the Eighteenth and early
Nineteenth centuries, remarkable men
tai and physical powers were attrib
uted to very aged people.
Many such stories are found in the
''intimations of death" found in old
English newspapers. The custom in
those days was to give in these no.
tees q brief outline Of the activities
of the deceased as well as his position
In life. These notices gave quaint
pictures of life of the times, as they
recorded the death of many we'll
known men and women they have
great historical value.
Early volumes of BlackwOOd's Mag
aZine tell of many instances of men
and women attaining the age Of 120
and even 100 years. A writer in The
Scotsman who selects a few interest
ing examples from Blackwoods tells
OF the death Of Mr.. Dirrane Of Galway
In his 120th year. ITO the last he
could read without glasses. and until
the last three or four years could
walk some miles day"
An entry on May q, 1920, shows
that Ahna McRae, the widow of Kin
tail farmer, died at the age Of 112.
The notice concludes, mot many
months ago she could run race with
any Of her sex OF the third and fourth
generation" The notices record the
death Of colored woman In Jamaica
at the age OF $40 and another at 100
years.
One unusual record concerns the
death Of William Heglnbottom at the
age of 50. The intimati0n states HE
was father Of ten, father-in-law to ten,
grandfather to 13l, great grandfather
to 15S MISUNDERSTANDING to
