WORLD GROWS BETTER DAILY.
 DIR. CATTELL TELLS ROTARY

told in these words: I was well. wanted to be better. Here l am.'
 "A friend of mine once said: It's better to travel hopefully than to arrive God pity the man or wo- man who has arrived. I don't want to be Was-T want to be an Is. T don't want to be a kicker. Every time you kick you lose a step. The kicking mule 'ain't' pull ing. A pessimist Is blind man in a dark room at midnight looking for a black cat that l. It there. He's like man who swallowed an egg he's afraid to move for fear he'll break it, and is afraid to stand still for fear 1t will hatch.
 I'm afraid of the man who is ed lucated beyond his intelligence. He's muscle bound between the ears on theory.
 "One. crop in one state this year means S1,000 in wealth and buying power for every man and woman In the state. I have seen the wealth of this country increase from seven to I53 billion dollars.
 Talk of Depression Absurd
 We have gained in numbers four and a half times while we have gained in wealth 50 times. It Is absurd to talk about depression in country where our wealth Is multiplying 10 times as fast as the population.
 Seventeen million people today own government bonds, as against 174,o0o only 10 years ago. Thefe are 2S million people who hold government securities and only 35 million that vote.
 We are getting afraid of shad- ows. Remember the first Thanks giving dinner. Only seven men were able to stand up. Half the men in the community were dead. Did they have a day of fasting and prayer? No. they had a day of Thanksgiving.
 The difference between Europe and America Is that In Europe they labor under the lash of ne- cessity, looking down; here we la bor under the lure of vision. look ing up.
 You cant frighten people into being good. or industrious. You can't keep people from begging by working them to their maximum capacity until they are 70 or 80 years old. You can lure them with visions of pleasure and luxury.
 Happiness is the motive that moves the world. The man or woman who gets a touch of joy out of life is going to do just a little more. I know hundreds of families where they are saving a doctors bill through the use Of the auto mobile. The man Is getting &C., quainted with his family also"
 Working Day and Wages
 Dr. Cattell referred to the pres ent working day and wages and said the prosperity of the worker today is due to the fact that the workers are buying their own products. People are getting joy out of life. They are putting more

With four horse power back of every worker in America the world will never beat us in production, and the machinery distribution Is on the increase"
 The speaker referred to the po- tential power Of China and the fact that some day 1t can provide a market for all the products of Amer ica as rapidly as a desire is created there He said he has seen good coal lose its entire value In trans portation of 3S miles, because II was carried on the backs of men. Two cents per capita per week in China invested in shoes would take the output of every shoe factory In America. he added.
 We are all thinking, but with many people 1t is morbid think ing. Can't we get more happy thinking? Get the situation of the other fellow and don't be over critical.
 No Such Thing as Getting Old
 "There Is no such thing as getting old. You can get older but not old l want to live to be 100 and then double the lease and do my own repairs. Don't be afraid of depression.

zest into 1t and the world is get ting better.
 Last year we took over 800 mil lionaires out of garbage can that we formerly paid people to de- stroy. In other words we took q waste material and made a prod uct out of 1t that the world want ed.
 "One thousand million dollars last year came out of the great American desert. A few years ago 1t didn't produce a dollar. In a certain section of Pennsylvania they couldn't get their produce to market because of the hills. They tore down the hills and built l. 900 miles of good roads with them"
 He explained how a man who forgot to buy his wife a potato masher went to the place he work ed and made one out of some scrap material. They are making mill lions of them that way today. just because one man wanted to escape a scolding from his wife," he said.
 He said man first used waste material to make 'scooters" for children, and now he is buying waste from other mills to keep up the demand.
 we are spending six to seven IoIl nd and seven million on support of moral agencies. It's the best invest ment we ever made. It brings the best returns In this life.
 There isn't a man or woman who can't look around at any time of the day and see someone carry ing a greater burden than they are. I once rode on European railway with a man whose doctor had told him he might drop dead on the way home so he got off at each station and bought his ticket from station to station.
 Don't buy your ticket through life from station to station. Go ahead. Play ball. Hit the ball. not the umpire.
 American Worker Enjoys Life
 "In America we are getting more diversified employment and the worker is getting more joy out of life. You never see your own shadow until you turn your back to the light. ..
 T love the fellow who laughs with you and helps. I hate the fel- low who laughs at you and hurts. You never know how near the other fellow is to the breaking point. Don't be afraid to put your arm around him and say Glad to see you It always helps.
 "The radio has brought every human being within three tenths of a second of every other human being on earth. We don't realize what 1t means to be parked in this wonder full drama we call life.
 Have courage of your opinions to speak from your heart. Be yourself is the note of today.

Philosopher Sketches Rise of United States and Says Talk of Depression
 Is Absurd.

The world is growing better all the time. and conditions in the United States are such that a financial de. pression is almost impossible, ac. cording to Dr. Edward J. Cattell of Philadelphia. yho spoke last eve- ming to the members of the New Britain Rotary club and their wives. Dr. Cattell was for 25 years city statistician for the city of Philadel- phia and was responsible for the statistics often published, of the number of houses erected per min ute, locomotives turned out per hour. miles of carpet made per year, etc.. in his home city. He is said to have spoken to more people than any other man alive today. having ad- the residents of the United States. or . total of 30 million people, ex- elusive of radio listeners. At one time he spoke on the radp when IS stations were linked up and It Is estimated he addressed IS million people at ono time In the last IS months he has tra~eled 7o.00o miles.
 In opening his address, Dr. Cat tell referred to his pleasure at see- Ing so many women present and said the world has never been able to get along without them. Adam moseyed around tho Garden of Eden for sev- eral weeks and nothing happened and nobody moved" he said. "Along came Eve and everything happened and everybody moved.
 "I never see mcn going any where in a hurry unless think he's going to or coming from some good woman"
 World Better Today ..

''1f you go back 1000 years. you'1l ind the same tale being told, Every generation has It's own way of blowing of steam. The ideals and standards vary but the fundamentals rernain the same.

Shumaker Suggests District

today Suggested that Prohibition Ad.

Indiana Illinois Wisconsin, area be

A possibility of Yellowley's securing

Shumaker's suggestion was made
in comment on one by The Times

pers that Wayne r. Wheeler, Anti
Saloon League general counsel, be
appointed.
On Political Front
The first suggestion was that the
appointment of Wheeler would put
him at the head of the battle being
waged b. Andrews. which he has so
severely criticised. The impression
in Washington is that Andrews. as.
sistant secretary of the treasury in
charge Of dry law enforcement. will
quit.

Cooperative Marketing Be-
Titled as Impossible.
BIZ Times Special


MT. VERNON, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Ad-
dressing 10000 farmers here today,
Senator James E. Watson openly
split with President Coolidge on the
agriculture problem in outlining the
farm relief policies upon which he
seeks reelection in Indiana this fall.
Watson belittled the Administra-
tion's cooperative marketing scheme
as impossible.
He charged Treasury Secretary
Mellon with making IAN erroneous
conclusion" in his celebrated
letter" which is held responsible for
the defeat of the McNary farm bill
in the last Congress.
Watson pleaded for the nation to
lift agriculture to parity with other
labor and industry by application of
the protective tariff principle and
the adoption of supplemental legis-
lation, like the McNary bill, to make
1t effective.
Disclaiming presidential aspira-
tions, Watson denied politics prompt
