A PROSPEROUS Trend

TVHERE is cheer in the current report of
the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington in that it shows substantial in
crease in the production of basic commodi-
ties and in factory employment. Iron and
steel, cotton and wooden textiles, lumber and
bituminous coal all gained in output in Octo-
Der, while most of the manufacturing indus
tries took on additional working forces
Building activities also quickened, being
fourteen per cent in advance of their record
for the same period a year ago. Particularly
interesting from a Southern point of view
are the estimated increases in the yields of
corn. cotton, tobacco and potatoes. The
movement of crops to market in October
reached the largest volume in five years."
while exports of grain and cotton were "in
greater volume than in the corresponding
month Of any recent year" These are more
than superficial omens of prosperous trend.
The report does not lend itself to sound
ing trumpet blast of optimism. Whole
sale trade" it sets forth, Increased slightly
but was three per cent less than in October
1924. Sales OF dry goods, shoes and hard
ware were considerably smaller than year
ago, while sales of groceries and drugs were
larger. The wholesale price index of
the bureau OF labor statistics rose two per
cent in October as the result OF considerable
advance in the prices Of farm products and
foods and slight increases in the prices of
clothing and chemicals. (BuD fuel and
metal prices declined. Prices of building
materials and house furnishings were prac-
tically unchanged. Loans for CONNER
ciaf purposes at member banks in leading
cities, which had increased rapidly f ON the
beginning of September to the middle Of Oc-
toher, advanced but slightly in the following
four weeks"
All in all, the situation as reported by the
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1924-12-04
BY H. Addington Bruce

is true, it is unquestionably true, that
workers tend to outlve idlers. But it by
no means follows that longevity is pro-
NOTED by persistng in working hard all
ones days There comes to everybody a
time when there should be some casting
down.
OF this we have lately been reminded by
the findings of an unique statistical inquiry
made by a Baltimore scientist, DR.. Raymond
Pearl.
Studying the sickness and death records of
hundreds of thousands of people, as grouped
by occupations for ten-year periods, DR..
Pearl discovered that whereas those engaged
IN work requiring great expenditure of en-
ergy had an exceptionally low death rate ND
to the age of forty, the story was very diff
ferent thereafter.
Workers in heavy" occupations then be-
gan to die off more rapidly than workers in
light occupations until, for the age period
tfty-fve to siXty-four, the formers death
rate was nearly 25 per cent higher than
the latter"
This, of course is only what should be ex-
pected in view Of the we'll established fact
that after middle life has been reached there
sets in, under the best of conditions a series
Of tissue changes involving d progressive
weakening of the organism. If the energy
eXpending demand remains the same as be-
fore middle life, persistent effort to meet it
of the life-span
Hence, while not resOrting to the opposite
extreme of refrainng from work altogether
"a course even more disastrous than contin-
uing to work at high pressure-prudence
should dictate greater moderation in energy
output than in the years of youth and early
maturity
1t always is possible for workers in
heavy occupations, for workers in
light ones, to husband energy when away
from their work. Many workers actually
take as much out OF themselves at play az L
work. By refraining from energy-wasteful
recreations, by increasing the rest allowance
after forty, the working output might long
be maintained at fairly high level without
hurtfu consequences.
obviously, too, the more urgent the de-
mand for energy-eXpendit ure at work. the
greater the need for rest and moderation in
play after middle life arrives
Hard workers will indeed do well to keep
these facts in mind. Middle-aged they will
do we'll to safeguard themselves by increas-
ing their leisure If that is possible, and in
any event by making what leisure they have
a time for energy-restoration rather than
energy-Waste.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

<<N7 low, little children" said the Sun
- day school superintendent, pointing
to large lithograph in bright col
ors, here we have picture illustrating to-
days lesson. Todays lesson Is about Lot.
The Lord warned Lot to take his wife
and daughters and fee away from Sodom.
Here we see Lot and his daughters, and
there just behind them is his wife and at
the back we see the wicked city Of Sodom,
which is about to be destroyed.
Now then, before We take up the lesson,
is there any little boy or little girl who
wants to axis me a question:"
A hand went up.
"Ah," said the superin tendent Kathleen,
yonder, wishes to ask me question. What
is it. Kathleen?'
IF you please sir said Kathleen, where
is the fea?"

FARMERS SHOWN HOW TO GRASP $l,OO0,OOQ,OO PRIZE
Co-operative Marketing System Is Urged By
 Gray Silver
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-A billion dollar prize was held up to American farmers today by Gray Silver, former Washing ton representative of the American Farm Bureau federation, as prize to be won by cooperation in marketing or ganizations to gain for the farmer larger share of the consumers dollar He spoke before the cooperative market ing section of the federation's annual convention.
 Reports of the secretary of agri- culture" Mir. Silver said. "show that the American farmer got but 33 cents of the consumers dollar, for his $l5.QOo.- OOO. GOO grain crop this year. Most CO., operative marketing organizations do far better than that, getting 50 to 6O cents of the consumers dollar and European co-operatives as high as Q cents.
 'If the farmer can increase his share of the consumers dollar through coop curative marketing from 33 to 50 cents he will add a billion dollars to his pocket.
 Lesson Is Learned
 '.This is the greatest lesson that bas come from the farmers experience since the war. The lesson of 1920 ought to last us for the rest of our lives. There was spread then between the farmers return and the world market price of 80 cents.
 "The American farmer must come to realize that he has but one customer industrial Europe. Home consumption will take care of it's own price and It will always be profitable one for the producer, but the American farmer must sell his surplus at the world price to the European market and that de termines his profit He must also realize that there are only half dozen pur- chascrs for the entire European demand, and to deal properly with these few buyers he ought to have single selling agency.
 Reduces Price
 "A single selling agency can cut the handling charges from to 3 cents bushel.
 ''Such a saving in commissions and handling charges will help to reverse the present flow of credit returning 1t farmwards instead of citywards, and through increasing the farmers pur- chasing power, exert tremendous in Hence on general prosperity. Instead of note the farmer will have sur plus at the bank"
