"HE growing popularity OF thelong,
Colonial house of classic simplicity
is, 1t seems to me, the most effec-
tive refutation of the charge that we
Americans are becoming as nomadic in
our tendencies as Romany gypsies and
so stand in imminent danger of loosing
the domestic spirit.
It Is quite true that we, as people,
do travel hither and yon, In search OF
variety and change and pull up stakes
at d moments notice at the siiShtest
provocation, but somehow we invari-
ably come back to the ideals OF our
pioneer ancestors and the very fact that
this type of Colonial house holds the
same charm for us 1t did for our for
bears is an Indication that we haven't
wandered far from the principles OF the
good folk who founded our country.

the fear OF many that the benefits

be dissipated unless the public mind

Merchants of the country were urged

Many indications of improved con.
diuons, both in this country ana
abroad, are apparent, ne deciareu'
and business men should forget the
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 ena OF
1919, surplus goods havirg now gone
into consumption and there being
marked reduction in the goods on
the, merchants shelves.
-The fact that a revival In agri-
culture" he said, has come much
sooner than had been expected oy
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 a distinct business
Improvement in those districts.
Improvement Abroad.
While the situation abroad is still
complicated, he said, there are many
Indications of improvement, the eX-
changes of some of the leading
European countries have become far
more stable during the past year
and the money spent by the Amerf-
can tourists now flocking to Europe
will add to the ability, of the for
e1gners to buy American goods.
The past seven years.. G2v. 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 re-
action which followed the abnormal
activities of the early, postwar
period had a serious effect upon the
business of wholesale merchants, but
it is gratifying to know how. we'll
they have stood up under the strain,
and lin view of the evidences OF i'm
provement which are now apparent
seems to me that the time has come
when the enterpriSing business man
may well let others indulge IN
lamentations and recriminations over
working out the problems of today
and preparing for the business CT
tomorrow.
Remember that this country of
ours has never failed to demonstrate
it's tremendous power. and that the
processes of production, distribution
and consumption will be continuous
as long as humanity endureS. Let
the merchants exercise their func-
tions 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 stimulate
production and by reducing the
number. of unemployed will add to
the purchasing power of your Gus
