CURLING THE CALAMITY
HOWLER

The calamity bowler, like the
poor, we have with MS always. Ere
quently the calamity bowler is Il So
called good citizen Many times he
owns considerable property, but
nineteen times out of twenty. he
speaks without thinking and never
measures the destruction of his
thoughtleSS remarks.
Some years ago following one of
the greatest panicS, Il nationwide
movement Sprang up among the
business men following the sugges-
tion of great st. Louis manufac-
turer that the people should speak
encouragement and train themselves
TO state facts and not fancieS. In
ninety days very decided improve
ment i'm business was noticed.
Lately we have heard the Gala
nifty bowler in Mississippi talking
about too much rain. frost killing
the truck crops. the bad faith shown
by business men, the impoSsibility
of getting square deal the lack
of markets, the passing of the lum-
Der industry and the throttling of
business by the trusts. When ask
ed for actual facts or figures to sup
port suggestions or criticisms made,
usually the speaker could produce
nothing Of tangible nature.
Cooperation between town and
country in the building of markets
and the exchange of commodities on
a practical common sense basis, Will
go "A long way towards curbing the
calamity bowler. No section of the
country should depend upon any one
commodity alone. No town or city
can succeed ON one kind of factory.
Varied Industries stabilized labor
and buying power.
Every farm should add to its
garden area. More fruit trees of
standard varieties should be planted.
The number of chickens should be
practically doubled. Every farmer
should get into the dairying bust
ness in small way, at least not sell
whole milk. but the butter fat, us
ing the skim milk for home use and
the great dairy byproducts, pigs
and chickens.
A determined effort to reach guam
tity production in some commodity
should be made in each neighbor-
hood The man in the town and
the man on the farm. should have
a close personal contact. The farm,
er is manufactures, Il producer and
not Il salesman. so the man whose
business it is to sell, should have IA
part Of his time and effort towards
helping in a cooperative way, TO
sell the products from the farm.
1t has been found that the per
centage of calamity howlcrS is very
small in the dairying districts where
a rounded out agriculture is possible.
On the other hand, the number OF
squawkers, to marked degree, in
creaSeS in the one crop section. the
best remedy for chrbing the calamity
bowler is an educational program
work ,.9ethe' for general p"ospe clI.'
builded around diversified industry,
and rotated crops, instead OF one
crop and a fast dying industry.
Remember that the calamity how
Ter thrives best in Il one-industry or
one crop country.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA slightly increased death rate in the United States and Canada for the year 1923, was predicted in report of current life insurance mortality records sub nlitted to the seventeenth annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents here today. It was estimated that the deaths from automobile accidents in 1923 will ex- ced those of 1922 by nearly l2 per cent.
 The combined records of 47 lead ing life insurance companies showing death of policyholders during the first ten months of 1928 were pre- sented by Dr.. Harry Toulmin, vice president and medical director of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance company of Philadelphia, Pa. These records show a death rate of S5S.1 per 100000 for the first ten months of this year as against S345 in the like period of 1922 and S2S in 1921.
 Automobile accidents, influenza and pneumonia were the chief causes of the increased number of deaths among policyholders during the year.
