Feru Words OF Cheer

quaIntance as snob. Her husband
objected, saying: II do not like It.
particularly dislike all words begin
ming with .sn.' Though she Is snob
you might call her a person who Is
very charitably disposed toward sue
cess"
Noah Webster lists a considerable
number OF words beginning with this
syllable. observes the Utica Observer
Dispatch. Only few of the words In
this category are descriptive of posi-
tive and lovely traits and things. Our
primitive ancestors must have felt the
way Emerson felt.
There Is, for instance, mans first
and scrlptural enemy. the SNAKE"
Then there is sneak" which defines
the snake in human form. Add
"snoop," the petty spy and informer,
and "sniper." the fighter from ambush.
And, OF course, "sneer," which is the
characteristic expression of the
"snob"; and "snicker," form OF
derisive laughter. Also Snatch,
which defines an ungenerous attitude.

"Sn" seems to be hoodoo. No
wonder Emerson 'snorted" over the
word "snob." even though the woman
It described had "snubbed" his good
wife.

The rapid recovery that America,

Of the economists.

But now the most of them are

because people are showing increas,
ing confidence and optimism.
"You can't keep the Uuited
States down very long," says
we'll known business DOCTOR" but
this phrase expresses nothing new.
The swing of the pendulum from
the high tide of prosperity to the
low tide of depression and back
again is becoming shorter and
shorter, because people are gradual
ly learning that over-expansion
always has its reaction.
They also know that it is to their
own best interests to attempt to
bring about better adjustment of
all their activities to their needs,
to the end that so-called hard time s
will be forever removed from the
horizon.
The manner in which farming is
recovering is the most encouraging
