Atlanta, and four daughters, Misses
Josephine, Maude, katherine, and
Anne Belts.
Mr. Belts recently returned home
after an extensive lecture tour over
the state in the interests of the
work of the Georgia association and
it is thought that overwork in the
cause of the betterment of farm
conditions, which constituted his
principal interest, was responsible
in part for the condition which
brought about his death. .
For many years he labored to up
build the agricultural interests Of
the state and in behalf of the Geor-
gia farmer. During the past year
his work in this direction has been
particularly extensive and has re.
suited in much benefit to the farm.

look into the thing and select your own definition
according to your own light upon SO important a
matter. Who knows, you might be wrongfully re-
ferring to your next friend when you permit some
one else do your thinking and defining for you.
Somebody has said that Capitalism is based up
on individual thrift" We take that as a sound
statement. Somebody else has said that capital
is what the Industrious man accummulates above
his Immediate necessities against the day when
through age or infirmity he can no longer earn"
That seems an equally sound statement as we'll as
a desirable proceeding.
1t would be a very difficult matter to define ex-
actly where Savings" end and capital begins.
And who can well dispute that any person who
saves and gets ahead is a capitalist The person
who sells peanuts or popcorn or newspapers on the
street corner and makes a success of it, as many
do, is no whit less or more a capitalist than the
person who puts his surplus into oil, or iron or
railroads, or industries of any kind or character.
The laborer for days wages who saves them, or
a share of them, and invests his savings in any
venture for profit, whether he makes it or not has
become a capitalist, while you are standing on the
street corner bowling about a reapportionment of
the wealth of the country.
The ST., 0OO,o 900, 600 which the thrifty toilers Of
this land have to their credit in the savings banks,
and upon which they annually draw more than
5000, DOC, 1000 in interest is a considerable proportion
of Americas Capitalism" Are all these toilers
capitalists or what? They are doing the same
things as other capitalists do. And please tell us
whether or not any man, woman or child who
saves is or is not a capitalist?
You know, these socialistic ideas that have had
some vogue, even in a country like this, have all
been imported from other places where the gen
eral order of intelligence is low, and they have
taken hold only with those among us who are of
pretty much the same order. And that the best
the advocates of war on capital can point to is
Russia where the experiment has utterly failed.
The American sympathizers with such theories,
however are not yet wise to the collapse and fail

you have confiscated and dispersed it you are quite
in the same fix as you were before it happened
and you feel moro than ever the same need for it.

A Memory of Harding

There are many citizens of the United States
who will have just such remembrance of Warren
Harding as that expressed in the following letter
which was written since his death:
I'm the hills of Maine, twenty-five miles north Of
Portland, is the little village of South Casco, on
Lake Sebago, Hawthorne lived there as a boy;
Thoreou and Whittier visited there in their day.
Now it has n winter population Of less than 200
and a summer population of about 1000. Tired
men and women and tireless boys and girls spend
their holidays in the pine woods around the lake.
Tourists know the place as one of the way sta
tons on the Theodare Roosevelt trail over which
they journey to the White Mountains.
Zone morning last summer neighborhood tele.
phones notified the villages that President Hard
ing was coming up from Portland When the re
port reached us l walked across the fields with
my wife and little daughter to see the distinguished
guest go by. We had not long to wait. Out of the
woods, at a point where the trail crosses Dingley
Brook came the big car, followed by many other
motors, all in a cloud of yellow dust. 1 held the
baby in my arms, and she held a tiny flag. 1 could
have touched the car as it passed. The president
turned in his place and waved and smiled to us
and Mrs. Harding waved through the window in
the back of the machine. We waved in return until
the whole party had passed out of sight.
"My small daughter, who knows about monarchs
because of the fairy stories we have read to her,
asked, rs he the king?' L explained the difference
and for days she talked about the kind president
II have other memories of Mr.. Harding. 1 met
him and had some correspondence with him when
he was a senator. 1 was present when he dedicated
the Bolivar Monument in Central park. But l shall
always remember him as L saw him last, waving
back to a little child"

Do You Know Him3

What have you got to say about a fellow like
William F. Henning? Who a few years ago came to
casper as a journeyman plumber. And like all
members of that honorable profession had to go
back from whence he came to get his Pipe wrench
before he could stop the leak in the pipe, which
was the first job brought to his attention by a
Casper householder who was in dire need of his
services.
William Henning never spent his days and eve.
nings sitting on goods boxes or standing about the
streets talking bunk. He saw that there was work
10 do in Casper, Wyoming, and he went out and
got 1t and what is more did it, and did it we'll.
Directly he saw larger things than plumbing.
He went after them and got them. Opportunities
were all about, then, as we'll as now. He seized
some of them by the forelock and dragged them
into camp.
William had foresight as we'll as other things in
his equipment. He developed that while busily en-
gagged in bring the bacon home.
As a final result you see William Henning today
rs n successful business man, an ownsr of val.
liable income property, a citizen of prominence and
OF value TO the community. He is we'll enough fixed
make his home in any part of the country he might
desire.
What do You find him doing? Sure enough, set.
finest homes in all Wyoming. A monument to n
citizen of enterprise and industry.
Yes, and if you want to know one further fact
about William Henning. He has that original pine
wrench, which he went back after. 1t has seen hard
usage, but he has polished it all up nicely tied n
pink ribbon on the handle, and it now hangs on
ms library wall as a memento of other DAYS. II

Trend of Wages Higher

The most recent example of the widespread lack
of knowledge of economic laws and consequences
is found in the generally accepted theory that com
modify prices cannot decline while wages remain
high. This is a mischievous error, which cannot
be supported by either logic or precedent. The
fact is that the natural trend of wages is to a high
er and the natural trend of commodity prices to
a lower level from year to year and from decade to
decade.
The phenomenon represents the gradual trend to-
ward a more equal distribution of the total product
of land and labor. Every machine which is invented
every improved method of fabrication or distribu-
ton, every increase in the uses of the free gifts
of nature, such as steam, water power, every i'm
provement in the scientific division of labor, means
that a larger amount of goods is available.
As all but an infinitesimal portion of what is
produced is promptly consumed, this can mean only
that the per capita share for each member OF So
cicty is increased.
This is the economic explanation of the fact that
the laborer of today has ten times as much of the
necessities and luxuries of life as did his fore
fathers.

Their Splendid Work

The great press associations of the country, not
one but all, rose magnificently to the situation of
giving the anxious nation the particulars of the
sickness, death and burial of President Harding.
No detail, that the public should have, was omitted
from the reports. Descriptions were masterpieces
in English. The accounts of the sad journey Of the
funeral train from west to east, of the people who
came to pay respect to their president, of the of.
ficial ceremonies at the national capital and the
last simple rites at Marion, were marvels in the
use O. language In the homes throughout the ma

The Alterer Of Habits

FRANK STOCKTON wrote a tale about a monarch
who relied on an official called the "Discourager of
Hesitancy" This officers task was to prod folks
who dallied over important decisions.
Modern advertising likewise fosters prompt and judi
cious decisions. But advertising might better be called
the "Alterer of Habits" 1t brings many changes to pass.
And these changes are for the better-ALWAYS.
Advertising has revolutionized the personal habits as
well as the buying habits of the nation. 1t has elevated
our standards of living. 1t has made us eat better, sleep
better and dress better. 1t has added countless comforts
and conveniences to the daily life of each one of us.
Advertising has taught us how to find the best buys
in almost everything imaginable without indulging in
the needless habit of shopping around" 1t tells us lust
where and when to go for what we want and how much
to pay. 1t lets us compare prices and qualities without
even stirring from our homes. 1t vouchsafes our moneys
worth.
