Industry and Agriculture

The policy of hand-tomouth buying is in evi.
dence in practically every line. This is naturally
reflected in a specifically unsatisfactory stu.
alton as measured by the volume of forward or
ders, and consequent disappointment ON the
part Of those who are satisfied only when boom
conditions prevail. Manufacturing activity ney.
ertheless continues at a healthy rate. That this
must be so is indicated not only by data as to
production of finished goods and consumption
of raw materials, but by the fact that there is
relatively little unemployment although the sea.
sonal peak of labor requirements for construc.
ton and agriculture has passed.
The leading steel interest is operating at near
Iy 80 per cent of capacity and the rate of opera.
ton for the industry as a whole is probably IS
per cent. Deliveries are being made promptly,
and forward orders represent actual needs. Or
ders for railroad requirements may from now
on be expected to show a seasonal increase and
should be satisfactory even though they do not
reach the great volume of last season.
A marked advance in the price of wheat has
afforded much ground for encouragement in the
wheat growing sections. II is to be hoped that
this has not affected the tendency toward de-
'reased acreage. The price of hogs has declined

Prices and Consumption

Whether or not the present productive ca.
Paclty of the manufacturing Industries of the
United States is in excess of current domestic
consumption, supplemented by such export de.
mand as may be expected will depend ON the re.
lationshIp of prices of finished goods to other
prices: The present period is not one of depres.
sion; 1t is a period of adjustment, with business
seeking to find the point of maximum consumn.
tIon, which necessarily must be at price levels
that do not curtail the consumption of large
classes of the population.
Ihere Is evidence that the leaders of the mann.
featuring, financial and merchandising commu.
mites are dealing with the situation with wis.
dom and skill. The great need is that leaders of
labor should handle their problems with equal
understanding: Increasing unemployment would
be the inevitable corollary to reduced consump.
ton resulting from advancing prices. In last an.
|alysis the International market governs prices
of many products. Most agricultural prices are
directly determined there. While United States
exports of manufactures are not large in rela.
ton to total output, they are important from
the standpoint OF profits and of full employ
lnent. II production costs push prices too far
above the international level, the American ex.
porter viii have a poor chance in the Internal.
ional market, a further factor tending toward
Unemployment.

gagged or many years.
Returning east to continue his
engineering studies. HI became a
member of the Detroit Engineering
society. and the Hamilton club of
Chicago. He was also n director of
the Rocky Mountain Petroleum Pro
ducers association.
Mr.. Guenther came to Douglas in
the summer of 1917. He organized
the Safe Investment Oil company.
Later was one of the organizers of
Mike Henry OIL company, both of
which were closed but to othe-
capitalists. Later he organized the
Derrick OIL company, and was it's
general manager at the time of his
death.
This. in brief. is his business
career since coming to Wyoming.
Notwithstanding the TACT that his
business affairs called for most of
his waking hours he took time for
every local civic activity and was
a leader in all works for the good
OF Douglas and for the state. He
never evaded a duty. private or
public.
He was an ardent Republican in
politics and the ~reasurer of the
state committee at the time he died.
The actual loss of Charles A.
Guenther and what 1t means to his
home city and the state becomes
ore and more apparent as time
passes. There is scarcely a day
that he is not needed in one capa-
city or another. to add n touch of
smoothness to the running of at
fairs or to give a kind word or a
helping hand to some brother on
life's journey.
Charles A. Guenther's memory
will remain in the affections of
every person he ever knew and who
knew him.

To the Memory Of Charles A. Guenther

Memorial services will be held to
day at the Methodist church al
Douglas In honor OF Charles A
! Guenther. Mr.. Guenther was one
of tho victims of the calamity at
Cole creek on September 81. Al
though every effort was made at
the time, and subsequently. and al
though a thorough and final search
was made last Sunday at and neal
the scene of the tragedy and along
the river eastward. the remains
have never been recovered. This
feature of the loss of Mr.. Guenther
adds a greater sorrow for relatives
and friends to bear in his passing.
In that Inflated night Mr..
Guenther was in Casper. He was
at his best. His health had greatly
improved ovcr its previous condi-
ton which had marked a rather
slow recovery from an automobile
accident in 1918. Before taking the
train that carried him to his death,
he held quite a reception in the
hotel lobby. He was greeted by
many Casper friends WHOSE last
recollection of him will be of the
~pleasantest character. The jovial,
cheerful Charley Guenther they had
known ard loved SO long. Within
tho hour he had passed to his re-
ward.
The people of Douglas and the
state of Wyoming have now had
time TO realize the great loss we
have all sustained by the untimely
death OF a citizen of Mr.. G%uenther's
quality. Such men are not m
Gus in the generations that come
upon the earth. We prize them
while they are here. it is true. but
1t seems we cannot keep them with
us, as we would. and their going
only teaches us anew the insecurity
of human life.
1t is highly appropriate and fitting
that his old friends and neighbors
gather today to respect his memory.
He had an eventful and useful life.
He did a splendid work while on
earth. And today there will be no
lack of appreciation Of his merits
among those who will honor his
IllciIlOTy.
Charles A. Guenther was born in
Bisbee. Arizona, November 23, 1888.
but when still a boy moved with his
family to Pennsylvania where he re-
ceived his early education. On Octo-
Der 20. 1910. he was united in mar
riage to Miss Violet Smith of Du-
luth. Mimi, and to this union three
children were born, all of whom sur
vive him. They are two daughters.
Virginia and Dorothy, and n son,
Robert.
In early life Mr.. Guenther was
sent to England as n mining en-
gineer. 1t was during the Boer war.
He enlisted under the British flag
and served throughout that contest.
After an honorable discharge he re
turned to Arizona and took up the
