Kramer hills, near Barstow, Cali
fornia. is enjoying baby gold rush.
Solemn investors are there waiting to
get rich. or be victimiEed, wild stories
Of wonderful strikes" fill the air,
and in various shafts, optimists arc
sinking more gold than they will ever
take out.
Three things arc missing that you
expect in every gold rush: The dance
hall. gambling hall and saloon. 1t is
picturesque crowd that gathers
near Hcrkclrath's strike, a few miles
cast of this point. Eternal hope, dis
appointed 100 times in the effort to
get something for nothing, is here to
meet disappointment number 1Ol.
Thousands will come for gold. and
leave disappointed, that might get all
they need from grapes, pears, chick
ems. Don't invest.
There is good newspaper in the
new gold field. It is the Kramer Hills
News. You can get it by addressing
the "BarstOw Printer" The editor
says the Herkclrath Brothers have
sold their gold land. the original dis-
covcry. on tract Of GO acres, for
100000. Very wise Herkclraths.
III you want TO get rich, and stay
rich, read Henry F0rd's series Of ar
ticles, written in collaboration with
Samuel Crowthcr. now appearing in
the Los Angeles Examiner and other
newspapers.
Ford, who has 100000 men and
women now working for him, starts
in exactly the right way. He says
that for hundreds Of years, he might
have said "thousands Of years." men
have been talking about lack Of OPP
portunity. and the need OF dividing
up things already in existence. Yet
each year has seen some new idea
brought forth and developed, and with
it q whole new series of opportuni-
tics.
We have enough new ideas. not yet
developed, says Ford, ito take the
world out of it's sloughs and Danish
poverty, by providing livings for, all
who will work." For, when young
Ford used buggy, he did not think
the buggy maker ought to divide with
him. He built up his own gasoline
buggy business, and put the old buggy
factories out of business forever.
That is the new idea.
You are told that only private en-
tcrprise can deal successfully with
railroad management and similar
problems. Mussolini. Italy's new
dynamo, does not think so. His idea
is that government--which means
Mussolini-should compel private en-
terprise to do something. He tells
Bradford Merrill that the railroad
time from Naples to Rome will be cut
from five to three hours. and five
mountains will be tunncled Tor
shorter route.
The Italian train will average 90
hours. II trains from Chicago to the
Pacific would average as much as
37h miles, which they do not, they
would make the run in 60 hours, IN
stead Of So.
II they cut off 40 per cent Of the
they would make the run in Al hours.
And they could do 1t.
Why don't they do it, and prove
that private enterprise can do things,
without any Mussolini to kick it
along?
