A GOOD TEXT.

Toward the end of Roger Babson's weekly statement, published Satur- day, he utters good text based on
 statistics. When greed is enthroned we are headed for depression; when service is in the saddle we are headed for prosperity"
 This declaration comes as he warns of the misunderstanding of the "busl- ness cycle" He says that while the principle of action and reaction is sound, it is wrong to suppose that such principle will bring a certain period of business prosperity followed by like period, equally as long, Of business depression, and so on, pros nerity and depression following each other in periods of equal length What he does insist is that period of infatien will be followed by time of depression which will make up for the imitation if it's intensity and length are considered together. If, for in stance, a man works three years and saves his money it will take him three years to spend that money if he spends it at the rate he earns it. If, however he has an especially intense period of spending that period Of ..x An ch time plus the intensity will equal the 'nflation period.
 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This question might show Babson's idea of the greater difficulty of predicting the length and intensity of a period of imitation, or business activity. than of forecasting the de- flation which will follow. The bad period may be accurately measured by the good times which have pre- ceded it, but when it is time for an- other period of prosperity there IS nothing to base surmises upon.
 His practical advice is to make haste slowly as we are near the end of the reaction from the great period of imitation. and thus conservative persistent business of a progressive character will be the means of usher ing in a time of sound prosperity which will equal. in the sum of the time and the intensity, the period Of bad times which have about disap- peared.

HOGGISG THE ROAD.

There is satisfaction that the man who "hogs the road" is being given some attention. Whether of not a man arrested by State Policeman Rutherford is shown to have been guilty Friday, it is well that the mat ter is being given emphasis. If the man was innocent, it is too bad that he will suffer the inconvenience of arrest If he is guilty it will serve to give notice to others who not only inconvenience those behind them in the highway, but who make automo- bile travel dangerous especially at this time of the year.
 And the man who hogs the road while driving is not the only road hog. It was noticed the other day that a driver of a car had parked it in such a position that it was impos- able for another car to pass without

Mn. wHEnLnR's TALK.

Wayne R, Wheeler marshaled an army of impressive facts on the pros hihitian question before an audience at Trinity n, F, church, He offered convincing evidence 10 support his belief that the Eighteenth amend' meni is in the Constitution to stay and gave the foes of prohibition something to think about If his opinion is to be accepted. there will mover be another drink Of intoSieat' ing liquor sold legally in the United States, He is.a shrewd, sharp lawyer,l and he made out an excellent case for his client and friend, prohibition,
 Mr, Wheeler lays all the respon. sibility for prohibition agitation at the door Of the brewery and dis tillery interests. seeming 10 be preiu- diced on this point his prejudice being created probably by his zeal ousness for the cause, These inter- ests arc not entirely responsible for the sentiment in favor Of the manu- facture and sale Of light wines and beer. There are many individuals who are considered among our best citizens who would like to drink beer or wine without the subconscious feeling that they are criminals.
 On one point, every rational per son will agree with Mir Wheeler. and that is on the observance of the law. The. Eighteenth amendment is part of the Constitution and should be respected as such.

A GENTLE WARNING.

New Britain people have done pretty well about cleaning off their walks. Of course there will be dis sent to any such statement in par cases may be thoroughly justified. Some folks may be compelled to walk to work, for instance, in front Of property owned by persons who have been irritatingly slow to see to it that the required work was done. But as a general rule men have labored faithfully to make walking as easy as possible for those who pass their way.
 But it is just as well to call atten- ton to the fact that the authorities are trying to enforce the ordinance requiring the walks to be cleaned. People are being called into court and compelled to pay the fine for dis regard of this proper regulation, and 1t is not a pleasant thing to be com pelled to do. There is a certain stig- ma attached to one who had been held derelict in this regard.
 It is to be hoped ardently that there will be no more storms. But there still remains some work to be done in this matter of cleaning off the walks, nnd if it is done now the snow that may come will be much more easily removed. Hence these congratulations to those who have shovelled; hence this gentle reminder to those who have shovelling to look forward to.

Pills and salts give temporary relief

In perfect health a natural lubricant
