country's Industries are Prosperous
Beyond All Previous Records.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY, the Uni.
ted States 10 better off than at any
previous time in its history. As q
whole. IT, industrial plants are run
ming capacity. or nearly 20. In view
of the fact that during the war the
capacity for output Of nearly every
industry in the United States was in
creased very materially, In many
cases doubled. the statement that In
dustries are now working capacity
means that they are turning out more
goods than ever before in their hts
tory.
This is proved by the fiat figures.
During the past year the following in.
dustriee have made production re.
cords: pig iron. cotton textile. steel
fngot, crude oil, motor vehicle and
locomotives. In addition. there has
been, during the last year, the largest
volume of mail order sales ever in
the history of the country, the largest
volume Of retail sales, and the largest
volume of railroad car loadings.
The national banks on June 30 this
year showed an increase in deposits
of $57.416,0OO over the corresponding
date last year. The savings deposits,
as reported by 866 banks throughout
all sections of the United States for
July 1st, showed $6,656,0OO, an in
crease of $500. .0OO. 900 compared with
July LIST a year ago.
The mercantile agencies report
the business failures for July the
smallest in number since Nov 1920,
and the liabilities of these failures
were lower than any month for two
and one-half years. This is a most
sign, because as a rule
July is one OF the heaviest months in
business failures.
The employment situation continues
satisfactory. The U. s. Employment
service shows that during the month
of July. which is usually the month of
lay-offs, 81 cities showed in.
creased employment as against 81
showing slight decreases in employ
ment as compared with June. Classi-
fled by industries, nine Of the four
teen basic industries showed an in
crease in July as compared with the
month OF June. AS compared with
July year ago, the reports showed a
tremendous increase in employment
in all the basic industries.

This saving of more lives than were

How Would II Be Done?

Senator Underwood, conspicuous
candidate for the Democratic presi-

States should go into the league OF
nations, in order to help the price Of
wheat. He also thinks that Europe
later may cut down on her cotton pur.
chases. He thinks going into the
league of nations would make Europe
buy more cotton.
Interesting suggestion, but why
would Europe pay more for American
" iieaa and American cotton II we went
into the league OF nations. Should we
lend money with which to buy our
wheat and cotton? II so, who would
supply it? Does Senator Underwood

so YEARS Sees SLIGHT
GAIN In POTATO YIELD

AS potato growers we are still in
the "small potato" class if we are to
judge our standing by the gain in the
average production per acre made in
the United States in the last 55 years.
Statistics gathered by the United
States Department of Agriculture
during the last half century show that
the average production per acre dur
ing the five-year period, 1918-1922,
vas 98.7 bushels. Our grandfathers
did almost as well so years ago, pro
ducing in the fve-year period, 1868
1872, an average of 94.5 bushels to
the acre. In other words our ability
to grow potatoes has improved dur
ing these SIS years only enough to
raise the average production "A per
cent.
From 1868 to 1888 the average
yield decreased steadily until it was
"a bushels to the acre. Since that
time the average yield has been stead
lily increasing until it is now the
highest it has ever been. A number
of reasons for the decline in yields

USE MORE WOOD THAN
IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY

The United States uses more wood
than any other country. In fact the
consumption in this country equals
about two-fifths of the entire consum-
ption of the entire world or, express
sed in round figures, about 22h bill
lion cubic feet, declares the Forest
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture.
The per capita consumption in this
country is PIP cubic feet of which
10 cubic feet, or a little more than
half, is saw timber, and the balance
consists of cord wood.
Including the losses by fire, insects
and disease, the total drain on the
country's forests is close to 25 bill
lion cubic feet. At the present time
this country is growing only about
six billion cubic feet. However, ac-
cording to the data contained in the
report, if the entire forest area of
the country-some 470, 00O,0 900 acres
were placed under intensive for
estry about 27 billion cubic feet of
timber could ultimately be produced
each year. This amount would ex-
coed the present drain on our forests
by a relatively small margin.

GRASSHOPPER OUT

Serious grasshopper outbreaks have
been very general over the Upper

have been received from Wisconsin,
North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas Tex

Northern California. In the Klamath
Lake region of California, poisoned
bait was being distributed during
June at the rate of 10000 pounds a
day according to a report received by

outbreaks are occurring in central

RURAL CORRESPONDENCE
From Our Rural Patrons

during the first half of this period
are given by the department, the
most important among them being
the ravages of the Colorado potato
beetle during the early period of its
invasion of the Eastern United States
the financial depression of 1877 and
which brought about a we'll
marked decline in agriculture in New
England, New York, and other heavy
potato areas, and a gradual depletion
soil fertility.
The use of high grade seed, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, would increase the returns
potato crop of the country by
many million bushels. Good seed is
one of the determining factors in
the production of maximum crops of
potatoes.

Alaska's coal mines must await time
and the normal urging of economic
conditions, he submitted, but the
Government should do whatever is
necessary to encourage lasting and

Other conclusions presented by Mr.,
Harding were that generous appro-
priations had been made for road
building; that the federal government
should be mor liberal in encourag-
ing the technical, scientific and dem
onstration work of the agricultural
agencies and that the government
should retain ownership of the Alask-

ALASKA is destined for ultimate
statehood" the president told his
audience. "In a very few years we
can well set off the panhandle and a

ONLY ONE SKATE

How about the little lad with only one skate. You have
all seen him, haven't you? As he whisks around the corner on
his one skate he is as happy and gets just as much pleasure
out of it as the boy with the latest and best pair of ball-bear-
ing ones.
Some of US grown-ups might learn a lesson from this
little lad. Most of us have only one skate in life; only about
half the things We would really like to have-but are we con-
tented and happy? The pleasures that we can have, do we en-
joy them, or does discomfort for the joy that is beyond our
reach today faint all our %happinessg
We don't want to be satisfied for that would mean stag
nation. Complete satisfaction is death to ambition. Ii every
one in this world were completely satisfied with things just as
they are, what would happen? Immediately all progress would
cease, would it not? Snug satisfaction today means stagnation
tomorrow. Satisfaction is bad, but contentment is different.
Satisfaction is happiness minus ambition. Contentment is hap
piness plus ambition.
The little lad with one skate enjoys it to the full today,
for he knows that for today one skate is all that he can have.
But I'll wager you that he makes every effort to secure some
day a pair of skates. That is contentment. 1t IS happiness
plus ambition.
Is not that the spirit with which we should go through
life2 Content and happy, but always ambitious for bigger and
better things.
