The country now realizes what It
could not see in the hectic postwar
days of 1920-that Harding is not
the type of man to be president of
the United States in this year and

Worry is a disease that no phySi-
clan can cure. 1t drives men to
drink and women to sin. 1t fills
hospitals and insane asylumns, while
many a marble shaft in cemeteries
well could have inscribed thereon,
Sacred to the Memory OF Worry"
Sleepless night are spent in worry
ing, while tasks at hand that should
be performed with a willing spirit are
neglected for worry about something
else. Many Il bridge is crossed in
worry before il is reached, and many
of the bridges do not even exist but
are structures of disordered imag-
ination.
Worry is a hydra headed monster
against which every man. woman
and child, should wage constant war

will do much TO combat the worry

Spirit of Genuine Optimism

The most impressive feature in the
business world today to the student
OF conditions is the spirit OF genuine
optimism that is abroad in the land.
II is not simply an optimism that is
hope, but it has its roots in conf
dcnCe: the sincere conviction that
an era of steady and continuous i'm
proyement in all lines of business has
begun.
One who meets and talks with rep
resentativa American business men,
both North and South, and secure;

present conditions, and the outlook.
is profoundly impressed with their
faith and their implicit confidence
that another period of good times
has actually begun.

Fiorida'S ReforestatiOn Problem

The Manufacturers Record quotes
a prominent southern business man
as saying, lately:
In ten or twelve years at the
present rate of cutting timber, Flor
ida will have no wood left with which
to make containers for shipping
fruits and vegetables, and will have
to buy wood for that purpose from
Central America or the Far West"
The business man, who has also
evidently studied the proposition and
has been searching for remedy, de
clares that:
IF the cut-oyer lands in Florida
were reforested enough material
could be grown in fifteen years to
supply the demands OF the state for
crate material for fruits and vege-
tables"
There is no doubt that it could, .
and would. But before that can be
done there must be something else
attended to; and that is also suc-
gestcd by this same wide visioned
business man. He declares
THAT the range law or the cat
tie pasture law which now exists.
stands in the way of replanting."
1t does; and while the state has
been deeply interested in other
things lately, the next important
thing to be taken up again will be
the range problem.

CANADIAN LIVING COSTS
 BACK TO PRE-WAR LEVELS

Montreal, P. O., Dec. 22.-Living costs in Canada are nearing pre- war levels, the average cost of the weekly family budget, according to government statistics now being $1O.2S, as compared with 11.S2 last year. and $15.95 in 1920.
 The index of wholesale prices is lower than it has been in years. Fi- nancial experts points out that the decline in commodity prices has been accompanied by a remarkable re- viYal of business throughout the De- minion. The past year, they say, has been the last struggle in the transition from the period of post war depression.
 Unemployment virtually has disap- peared. The harvest in the West drained the East of workers and ere ated a temporary labor shortage in several lines of industry. The in- crease in construction industries is furnishing work to thousands.
 Improved foreign trade has been big factor in the revival" says the statement. "The first six months of this year show a favorable trade bIance of approximately $32,000,000. as compared with an adverse trade balance of about $35,OOO,O ,OO0 a year ago. Since the war, the Dominion has risen from ninth to fourth place among the exporting nations of the world and now leads all the coun- tries in the per capita volume of ex- ported goods"

IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED IN
 FAVOR OF LOCAL BANF

The only large lawsuit tried since the towrr of Anchorage has been in existence was the case of ConrOy, trustee. versus the Bank of Anchor age. This case grew out of the fact tE2t the bank had advanced the Mat anUska Coal company the sum of about $17,OOO. The company was adjudicated a bankrupt within four months after it had repaid the bank, and the trustee in bankruptcy, M J. Conroy, through the action of some of the creditors of the defunct Matanuska Coal company, brought suit against the bank to recover the sum received, with interest and costs which would amount to a total of ap- proximately $25,SOO.
 The case was tried by jury, after the district court, Judge Brown pre- siding, had oyerruled the banks mo- ton to dismiss the complaint and a verdict was rendered for the trustee.
 The bank appealed the case to the circuit court of appeals at San Fran cisco, and this morning the following wire was received:
