ONE OF THE AVENUES TO PROSPERITY

When every man in the country has job, is
ing living wage, and when every farmeris able to
market his crop at fair price, then and not before
IS national prosperity arrived.
Money in the government vaults does not
stitute national prosperity. Ask the out-of-work
veteran if it does If did then the United States
is the happiest, as it is the richest land in the
world. 1t can be both, but that possibility depends
not on the contents of the United States treasury
but the cnditon of the larders in every home in
America Common individual prosperity and not
anything else is the condition of national prospect
ty.
There is one thing and only thing, which
this country has to fix its attention to produce the
desired condition Foreign commerce is the
wer-athough he doesn't know ito the man who
knocked at your door and asked for work. 1t is
the supreme business of the United States at
this moment
The United States today has the highest devel-
Cped industrial machinery in the world; its factor
res are keyed up to maximum capacity as result
of the fcverish war. There is a margin of 20 per
cent Of this production which the country itself
not consume; market must be found for it. That
20 per cent represents Jobs and is the symbol of
national prosperity If that market cannot be wi
ped out by overseas sales then the jobs cannot eX-
ist, if commerce can market that surplus, the Jobs
are available.
This great problem and its immediate solution is to
be focused in the Ninth Foreign Trade Convention
which will be held in Philadelphia in May Its
purpose IS to get the of the whole people the
Importance of the crisis and to get the benefit of
the highest experience at that convention as basis
Tor constructive program looking to the estab-
l'shment and extension of this countrys foreign
commerce.

| have watchet the registration with
absorbing interest and when we find
our people qualifying to vote who
passed The year OF three score and ten
it certainly means something more
than simple exercise of the voting
privilege. IL may be that they have
tai ken stock of their earthly gains and
asked themselves the question, Has
the time arrived that | may exercise
the right of the ballot and thereby
provide method for improving my
present and future condition. If so,
pray the God of our Universe that
these worthy people may live and ex-
ercise their privilege in the coming
election.
There has been so many unkind
comments printed in some of our
newspapers, the author of which have
no knowledge, we have reason to Sus-
pect that it would inflame the minds
OF some thus accused, however, | am
pleased to see that no malicious vim
dictive attitude OF the accused has
been assumed.
There are many reasons that may
be assigned to persecution and we Of
ten exhaust our mental capacity in an
effort to ascertain the true reason and
in case we fail we sometimes resort to-
history and thus l CLEAN and quote
from the wisest man that ever lived:
"a whip for the horse, bride for
the ass and rod for the fools back"
answer not a fool according to his
folly less thou also be like unto him."
answer fool according to his fol-
ly, lest he be wise in his own conceit"

mouth worketh ruin"
Yes, it is time to dismiss personali-
ties and stand for the deep principals
of moral rights that form a basis for
our national government. but, where
oh! where, will you find sufficient
assembly of honest upright, lawabid-
ing and God fearing men or women

comply with the motto of our nation

LOSSES THROUGH STYLE CHANGES

shoe salesman says that the public has no concep-
ton OF the losses that have to be paid the result
G. the FREQUENT style changes in footwear He re-
marked tfat many shoes that were made to be re-
tailed at So or So and could not be marketed be-
fore their design went out OF style, had to be sold
by the manufacturers for soc to 81.
A woman went into store the other day, and
bought shoe ma lie to retail for close to $40 for
three dollars and some odd cents. 1t may be nice
to pick up these bargains, but when goods have to
be sold at such sacrifice other people must paw
more on their stuff to make up for the loss.
These conditions are equally bad on many kinds
of women's clothing If makers and dealers have
to make such bottom prices to get rid of passee
stuff, it follows that when the goods are new and
fresh the figures must be high enough to balance
the loss unsoid portions of their stock
The loss would not be so serious if it fell solely
m wealthy people who can afford to pay high
for novelties and the latest up to date thing The
majority of young women, including multitude of
working girls, feel shabby unless they have new
styles ard they have to pay literally for the priv
lege of having the latest freak There are many
families who complain bitterly about the high cost
OF living, who could do something themselves to
reduce II if they would buy common sense stuff
that changes but little from season to season.
Many items in inflated prices are the result
not much of the war but of the lack of thrift and
sense on the part of the people. They can avoid
a considerable element of cost when they become
more independent of the most recent style
