RI Is MORE
IMPORTANT NOW

The chances are that from now on,
or 1t least in all future years after
1924, you can ask the average man
who is ce-president Of the United
States and he will be able to tell you.
Because the death Of President Hard
ing has demonstrated that the place
is far more important than we have
ever considered it, and that in the fu.
ture it isn't going to pay either politi-
cal party to put up . vice-presidentisl
candidate just to win votes of . GER
tain section, just to get rid Of . prob
able candidate for the higher office, or
just to fatten up the party's campaign
fund. For the statistics show that q
vice-president succeeds to the pres
idency every twenty years. In other
words. = man elected vice-president Of
the United States has one chance in
five of becoming president.
So, henceforth and forever. more
significance is going to be attached to
the job, because it is far more i'm
portant than NJ realize. Instead Of .
political football to be kicked around,
the vice-presidency Of the country is
going to mean more from now on, in
the eyes Of the general public, than
it has ever meant before.

EXTRAVAGANCE
AND INCIDENCE

Much Of the extravagant spending
of money Of which people complain is
based on the tendency Of people to
seek the easiest way of doing things.
It is generally known, for instance,
that if people would buy household
stuff and personal belongings for cash
and would carry home their purcnas-
es in their own hands, two of the it
ems in the cost Of living could be
avoided.
Many stores are making success
on this basis, showing that an in-
creasing numbes of people are con-
WINGED of the merits of this PROPOSE
ton, particularly in the grocery line.
Nevertheless, there is big public
demand for the credit system, and for
delivery of small packages that peo-
pie could easily carry home in their
own hands. They keep cars and de-
livery men chasing around the streets
and do not always realize that this
form of service is costly and must be
added to the price for goods.
Also the credit habit is costly. The
merchant who has credit accounts
with big number of customers must
keep sum of money equivalent to
these accounts tied up and earning
nothing. Many people ask for credit
who could pay cash just as we'll. But
just as they are too indolent to lug
small parcels home, so they are too
indolent to pay for each purchase as
they make it.
In spite of the low wages prevailing
in the times when our fathers and
grandfathers lived, many people found
it easier to save money in those days.
1t was not merely that there were
less ways to spend money. 1t was
partly because they planned the ex-
pendfture Of money with extreme
care.
But that took forethought and some
mental effort. The spirit of the pres
ent times is too indolent for that. As
a result, many people are failing to
get the real degree Of comfort and
security that their earnings entitle
them 10.

THB FARMER
AND HIS CAR

Some people seem to think that the
large amounts spent by farmers for
automobiles prove that they are pros-
porous and not suffering greatly from
present difficulties. They seem to
think that this proves that the farm
ers have money and could curtail ex-
penses If they wanted to.
But the time has gone by when an
automobile on \ farm can be consid-
cred as any luxury. Most Of the men
who operate farms need one. Farm
ers who deny themselves cars do not
usually make anything in the long run
by such an economy. Unless very ia
vorabiy located, or unless they have
exceptional business facilities, they
hinder their motions in disposing Of
their products and going to the mar
kets. 81
II they live outside of their COM
munity center. as the great majority
of farmers do, they make it more diff
ficplt for their families to participate
in community activities. They make
it harder for themselves to meet their
fellow farmers and exchange valuable
information and join in cooperative

movements.
Farming. as ordinarily conducted, is
getting down to an automobile basis.
1t needs the car. The man who has
one is better equipped to meet the con-
ditions confronting him.
The farmers time is worth money.
1t makes = difference to him whether
in doing his business he must jog

behind . horse, or make twenty miles

biles have destroyed the isolation of

difficulty that has confronted him in

selves that they are in the fore front
Of all kinds Of scientific progress
They boast Of the fact that trey have
many more automobiles and tele-
phones and other modern inventions
than can be found in the old world.
Yet in one form Of scientific pro-
gress they would seem to be no more
than holding their own. and that is av-
iation. European nations are making
great strides in that field. This is no
doubt largely because these countries
are fearful Of another war. and they
realize that air forces will be = tre-
mendous and deciding factor in such =
struggle.
This ID not wholly admirable psint
Of visw, since the more the nations
prspare for war, the more they may
incite the fighting spirit. Still, if the
nations are preparing superior air
forces with view to the possible out
break Of war, the United States can
not be wholly deficient in such forms
Of preparation.
Lines Of mail planes carrying pos
tai matter across the continent and
between all our great cities will have
an important business value, since
they promote quick communication
and tie together the widely separat-
ed locations Of our mammoth country.
And in addition they will constitute
a means Of defense. They build up a
body Of men who can operate the air.
planes, they create also bodies Of men
who understand the manufacture and
repair Of such craft. Thus they do
something to secure our country
against air attack. if ever the terrible
possibility of another war should be-
come reality.
The experiments that have been
made therefore Of night flying across
the continent are Of very large value
to our people. They are worth very
much more than they cost, and the
men who are conducting them are do
ing much to make our country self
reliant and able to take care of itself
