How Do You Spell Economy?

An analysis of the of trade manufacturers
shows that while the value of all manufactures in 1921 fell op
nately 30% below that of 1919 very large share of the

100000 in 1919 $04SO00000 in 1921 advance of $780,
100000 Even cigar boxes which tell another story increased
$O0000 and matches increased from $S0O0000 to $3000O

will be an entirely different thing
from what was considered normal
prior to the war. One reason is, our
new place in the world as the leading
creditor nation. That change is a
permanent one. We are not going to
return to the old position of debtor
nation. Bankers in the agricultural
communities have come to the con-
clusion that we cannot afford to main
tain an attitude of isolation and that
opinion is not a personal one. The

the ideas OF the people with whom
they have daily business contact.
A great many politico-economists
have warned against Americas en-
trance into the European situation,
asserting that our foreign trade makes
I'D less than 20 per cent Of our pro-
duction, and therefore is too small an
item to be vital or to risk our invest
ment in. They forget, and most peo-
pie who have listened to them forget,
that the unimportant 20 per cent is
the difference between full employ

vious that we shall have to build up

mlttee 10 Study Question Of
Taking Electricity to Farmer.

Adopting as its purpose the motto
"Popularizo the farm by powerizing
It," the National Electric Light Asso-
citation has appointed special com
mittee to promote the extension OF
electric power lines in rural sections
of the United States.
The particular problems involved in
this expansion OF the existing power
distribution lines will be studied with
care. The most serious of these prob
lens Is the question Of making 1t prof
liable to both power company and
farmer for the distribution lines to be
extended on the basis of cost involved.
The cost cannot be reduced by the
power company below a certain point,
because a fixed amount of line mate
rials has to be used whether the COM
pany serves ten customers or = hun
dred.
Yet II is recognized by electrical In
terests that II electric light and power
can be taken TO the farm 1t will great
ly strengthen the arm of the farmer.
More than that, 1t will prove a stimu-
lus to the development of all agricul-
ture.
The Electrical World has declared
that the farmer is in the same position
with reference to the use of electricity
as was the manufacturer twenty years
ago and that electricity is a method of
helping him solve his economic dilem-
ma, just as It aided the manufacturer.
The Committee of the National Elec-
trio Light Association believes that
electrical labor saving machines will
cave the day for the farmers wife, for
the farmer himself and for the hired
help, which is scarce at best and prone
to be discontentsd il overworked be-
yond a certain point.

rightfully tell us that, even though a
system may minister to our physical
well-being, II 1t stunts us mofally, II
It does not positively make us better
ethically, it is an inadequate system.
The general answer to this asser-
ton is obvious. The very fact that
our industry, commerce and finance
serve us so amply with the materials
and means for physical well-being
gives us the opportunity TO build and
support our churches. to foster the
arts, to develop our great educational
system.-to be kind to one another.
But need we deal in generalities7 2
Do we not find in the direct effect Of
our business upon the individual
much to improve his ethical stand
ards? To toughen his moral fiber?
Is it not good for the personal char
acter OF the race to do business as
we are now doing It?
Let us take the business of bank
ing. for example. Is 1t a mere mech
anism or is II a vital moral force7
Does It do more than, by facilitating
production, raise the physical stand

Nine-tenths Of our business is done
by means of credit. The great bulk
of that credit is obtained from the
banks. 1t is obtained from the banks
because men have character,-be-
cause they are honest, because they
keep falth,-because they can be
trusted.
II they did not have these qualities
they could not do business with
credit, they could not do business at
the banks. We say banks deal In
credit. That is but a way Of saying
they deal in honor and honesty. They
build the business structure with the
faith Of man in man.
The part banking plays in our bust.
ness life is growing. That means
that the faith of men in each other
is growing. The more men who come
to the banks with characters that en-
title them to credlt,-the more men
who realize that to gain credit at the
banks, they must possess themselves
with characters that win them un-
questioned trust the higher becomes
the ethical standards of the nation.
Is not this great moral service
that banking renders? 1t is a greater
justification for our present financial
system than even its wonderful eff

The Sparrow Officially Denounced

ways nuisance, even while he re-
mained in cities, but 1t appears that
urban life has become too unnatural
for him. He is migrating to rural re-
gions where he has ampler opportun-
hy to keep his destructive program
alive. 1t is very doubtful whether a
Government ukase will exterminate
this noisy and badly groomed little
fellow. He multipiies astonishingly,
and 1t is likely that he will continue
to thrive and propagate his numerous

FLAG DAY

Salute Old Glory! Born June IA,
1777, the Flag Of the Stripes and the
Stars. without ancestry and without
and suns of 40 years, and today it's
folds are ripping above the heads of
over 100.0O0,0O0 people who acclaim
with pride their allegiance to the
Flower Flag Of the Free"
Every minute of the "a hours, some
where under the sun its glorious
beams are Frightening Old Glory and
men are saluting its beneficent COL
ors. Where it floats no tyrant is pro-
tected, the shackles slip from the
slave. and peace and plenty abide.
Under its protecting aegis weak
country has expanded into a Nation,
and the seven seas acknowledged the
worldwide supremacy of the 13 red
and white stripes with their galaxy
of 48 stars. In any part Of the un-
civilized world 81 guns proclaim Old
Gory's presence at the peak, and her
battleships ride the waves, harding
ers Of peace and sermon in pre-
paredness.
The United States flag floats to-
day over nearly one-tenth of the
earth's dry land. One-twentieth of
the whole number of people in the
world give 1t proud allegiance. When
the Flag was born there were nearly
700 independent governments in Eu-
rope alone. The United States has
outliyed the majority of these.
Carlyle says: at is in and through
symbols that man consciously or un-
consciously lives, moves and has his
being" and it is in the Flag that the
common people read the history of
the Nation and the prophecy for the
future. Tey idealize the principles
which the Flag as a standard Of the
Nation embodies, and in it's ripping
folds Of red and white read the des-
tiny OF people who have come out
