The MONKEY WHO
TURNED CAPITALIST
The Others Took to Socialism
and That Is How the
Fight Began. u
BY JOHN oAkWoop

+
Just because people hear the
term high finance" 80 much, they
get the idea that the whole subject
OF finance is over their heads. As
matter Of fact. It II right on. q
ievel with their bread-baskets. It
mas more to DO with everyday
grub than anything else.
Finance has been described as
the art Of applying money to prac-
ticai ends. A man 10 q capitalist
when he accumulates enough mon.
ey. either out Of his own savings
or BY borrowing at interest the saw
1ngs OF others. to buy ! farm or
build q factory. and begins manu-
featuring food or something else
he can sell to others at q profit,
That's finance. II sounds simple.
But ] heard q story about q mon
key the other day that made It
even simpler.
Far BE- Il from me to make q
monkey OF Q capitalist--but this
was very wise monk. He lived
IN q zoo with dozen various other
kinds Of monkeys. Their food was
usually thrown in ready to eat and
each took his share. But one day
the keeper threw In some black
walnuts. hard as rocks. All the
monkeys vainly split their teeth on
them and they would have starved
as far as the results OF their Iabors
went. But one Of their number.
who was Of q more intelligent spe.I
cies than the rest. did some Think
ing. Then he accumulated q cou-
pie Of rocks he found in the cage
and cracked tho nuts between
them. He started q food factory
HE WAS A CAPITALIST. He had
property that increased his ability
to produce food-that added to his
economic power.
But trouble began. The other
monkeys grabbed the Kernels and
ate them up a. fast a. no knocked
them out OF their shells. THEY
WERE SOCIALISTS. There were
other stones and they could have
cracked their own walnuts. but
they believed in dividing up share
and share alike what the Capitalist
produced. The Capitalist monkey
got 80 mad that he did. the same
thing to their heads as he did TOT
tho nuts, He cracked them. The
zoo keepers had to put the wise
monkey in a cage by himself to
prevent useless slaughter.
Human society handles a situa.
ton like this better. There are
those who don't want to work.
there are those who have not the
capacity to organize enterprise
there are those who want more
than the share they earn-there
are those also who want an equal
division Of wealth. and now and
then there Is rumpus about tt
an outlaw strike or revolution or,
something. But as a general thing.
the present social order fully pro-
teets the farmer and the manufae.l
turer and other capitalists In their
property rights and enables them
to receive their Just pay for what
they produce. 1t also provides a
reliable money system as a medi-
UNI By whichsfair exchanges of diff
ferent products and services can
be made, and later on l will tell
you q story about that.

SAYS SHAMPOO WITH
Olive OIL10 have
GLOSSY hair

Glossy, soft and shining hair is
not so hard to have as you think.
Beauty specialists now say to sham
poo with olive oil-that is the secret.
Because it is the mildest OF clean
sers; leaves hair soft and plant,
cleaning richly. Thousands Of the
heads OF beautiful hair you see are
due to it. The simplest form and
easiest to use is Palmolive Sham
poo. Thoroughly cleans the hair
and scalp-removes all dandruff.
Never leaves hair dry or brittle.
You can obtain il at any drug or
department store for few cents a
bottle. 1t works wonders. Use it
just once, and you will note the
