TREASURE STATE FARM And LIVESTOCK

eleanor is important. The securing
by Montana farmers of some sheep
for their farms will be an aid to them
and an asset to the sheep industry.
1.-THE grass was we'll cropped last
year, but this year with an abund-
ance of grass much will go to seed
and provide for large crop next
year, which with favorable growing
conditions will allow for even an in
creased amount of grass in 1923.
IF both the farmer and stockman
could fully realize the value Of proper
distribution of manure, 1t would be
q great thing for both the farming
and stock industries. Properly pas
tured stock will give back to the soil
much of value to the forthcoming

public buildings should be erected and
practically no great new public enter
prises, such as parks, extended water
or subway systems, irrigation and re-
clamatlon projects and the like, I'M
dertaken.
Public Works a Safety Valve
Then, it is claimed, when a period
of depression comes and private en-
ployers lay off their workers, the fed
eral, state and municipal governments
should inaugurate great programs of
Improvement, embarking upon the
stored-up work which has been held in
allowance during prosperity.
During the waiting period, the plan
would provide that reserve of funds
should be laid aside to pay for the
public work to be done in periods of
depression and therefore thousands of
people would obtain employment and
receive pay out of these funds who
otherwise would not be employed
The plan can be applied to private
work as we'll. During periods of pros
perity corporation could accumulate
reserve funds and hold in allowance
desirable extensions and improve
ments not essential to the making of
the product. Then when the Gepres-
sion arrived, this work could Le per-
formed and men kept from unemploy-
ment thereby.
OF the objections raised to this gen.
eral plan the principal one is that it
is only In times of prosperity that COM
panles and governments feel they can
afford to make improvements and ey-
tensions. In hard times all feel poor
and discouraged and are reluctant to
spend money for anything. 1t is this
feeling of holding back which pro
tracts depression periods. Also, it is
urged that only in periods of activity
is the need felt for improvements and
extensions. Companies, cities and in.
divduals are like the Arkansas man OF

election is near, there is a party over
turn.
The great task which the special
committee on business cycles is seek
ing to perform is to discover means of
equalizing these periods. Some people
say it cannot be done Some declare
it is folly to try to make periods of
prosperity more restrained and periods
of depression less distressing. The
plan has been called an anti-boom
scheme designed to take the romance
and fun out of business. One of the
+, observers attending the first meeting
| said the plan of preventing booms re
minded him of the tender-hearted far
mer in one of the southern states who
never used a wagon but invaria bly,
hitched his horses to a stone boat, a
sort of sled which drags on the ground.

he used the dragging sled rather than
the rolling, wheeled wagon because of
his horses

Stabilizing Business Activity
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsK,N

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
report of the select committee of the
Presidents Conference on Unemploy-
ment, appointed to inquire into the
subject of business cycles, is expected
in the near future and economists and
industrialists are looking forward to
its publication with much interest. 1t
will be based upon a study unique in
character and purpose. The plan is to
devise ways and means of equalizing
the cycles of business activity which
bring about alternate periods of keen
activity and periods of depression re-
sulting in unemployment.
The effort constitutes in effect an
attempt to harness and control the
forces defined by political economy.
Heretofore these forces have been re-
garded as wholly beyond the posi-
bility of human regulation.
Business cycles are as old as mod
ern organized business Before the
war the cycles were held within ma
tions, each nation or in some cases
groups of nations, having series of
cycles. Since the war the whole world
has become interdependent in an econ
omic sense that it appears more than
likely that henceforth industrial de-
preston in any country will be prac-
tically the same as to time and effect
as in other lands.
Business grows increasingly active
in periods of peace. Prices gradually
rise over a period of years and wages
rise with them, but usually slightly
behind them. AS the period nears its
climax prices and wages begin to
shoot up. There is tremendous de-
mand for labor at high wages and
people are willing to pay almost any
prices for goods so long as they can
obtain what they want. Then comes
a collapse. The prices which took a
decade in climbing fall literally over
night. The depression from which the
United States is emerging now came
in the late spring of 1920.
The result of such a change is that
business stops dead. Stores which
have goods on their shevles purchased
at the high rates dislike to see not
only their profits but large part of
the money they paid for the goods lost,
and so are slow to reduce their prices.
The public is unable longer TO pay
the high prices, many persons being
out of jobs and having no money. This
means that factories normally engaged
in producing the goods shut down
Railroad traffic falls off because there
is so little to ship.
Keen Distress Results
The result of this is unemployment

utmost activity and prosperity to one

FLAPPERS SEE NEED
FOR STURDY POWDER,
"SOL" PLAYS HAVOC

Wanted-A face powder that won't
come off!
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that the heat of summer together with
its accomplice, superiuous perspira-
ton, has created a demand for such
an article.
Yeah, sure they do" was the re-
ply of the drug counter clerk when
asked whether or not girls buy more
cosmetics in the summer than they
do in the winter. "They gotta have
1t on account of the hot weather, you
know. Old Sol brings out the freckles
as well as the perspiration and then
it is when the sales on face powder
and freckle remover multiply"
He says that during the summer
cold creams, day creams, night creams
and most any other kind of creams
are greatly in demand. Face powder
is usually sold in the form of little
compact cases which the girls carry
with them at all times
IT'S the flapper type which uses
the most of that sort of stuff" he con-
tinued. "They are on the street more
and seem to feel the demand more
keenly."
Summer Demand Great
Certain of the fair sex when ques-
toned on this delicate subject agreed
that they used more face powder In
the summer than in the winter, but
were rather non-communicative as to
the amount of lip-stickc, rouge and
ether forms of cosmetics which they
find necessary to the upkeep of facial
attraction
According to the drug clerk, most OF
the fair damsels are eager for a coat
of tan until it has been acquired. Then
is when the sale of cold cream in.
creases, he says. But the girls them
selves declare that they don't care
whether they get a coat of tan or not
They admit that tanned cheeks and
arms clash with the delicate color OF
organdie dresses, but sport wear is
rather conducive and becoming when
worn by brown-skinned girls of the
great outdoors.
It's evidently a debatable question
but face powder that won't vanish
when the perspiration starts would
solve the great problem.
