An emplOye In a local store offered the writer an
interesting illustration showing the extent to which
imagination is responsible for the present business de-

1--we got to economize, was his explanation, you know
times are hard"
This individual, like countless others, Is influenced by
the general atmosphere Of gloom and uncertainty. The
truth Is that he does not feel the pinch Of hard times.
His salary remains as it was and will buy more today
than 1t would two years ago. The future Of his job is
assured by civil service. Yet. he imagines that it is
necessary to economize at this time.
Every merchant can cite hundreds of similar incidents.
Scarcely a day passes that some individual whose income
Is as large as it ever was does not announce the neces-
sity Of economy due to present conditions. Multiply this
by millions and you have everything necessary for a
business depression. That Is one very good reason why
the price Of wheat is around IS cents a bushel at present.
One can readily understand the attitude of the man
who Is out of work. He must economic. But what
about the IS per cent OF the American people who are
employed In spite Of present conditions-is it necessary
for them to pinch and save and contribute to general
Stagnation?

to the old 1913 levels. But the industrial leaders con-
WINGED that good wages make prosperity, are determined
to avert such a business catastrophe. We can all feel
sure, therefore. that buying now is not only a way Of
~practicing thrift but . way Of restoring business TO its
1929 level.

The Lure of Fighting

BraZll Is a long way from the United States, and The
civil war there is neither very interesting nor under
%standable to the average American; but it is interesting
to note that hundreds Of young men are striving earn
estly to get down there and take a hand in the fighting,
even though they have not the remotest notion Of what it
is all about.
Representatives of the Brazilian rebels, who have Of
fices in New York, are besieged daily by many Of these
ardent Americans, hot for war; so are the official rep
resentatives In this country Of the Brazilian government.
There may not be a hundred people in this country who
know just what is going on down there, but there are a
great many who would like to be in on whatever it is.
All of this, coming little more than a decade after a
war that was supposed to have disillusioned the world
forever about fighting, is somewhat Earring. 1t en-
phasizeS two facts that will rise to plague pacifists for
years to come-the fact that there is an incradicable
yearning for high adventure planted in the breast of
mankind, and the fact that mankind persists III believ-
ing that high adventure is best gained by getting into
a fight.
That, of course, is only another way of saying that
men are by nature restless. Safety and security do not
begin to look attractive until after one has left youth
far behind. And it is unfortunate, in a way, that the
modern world does not provide very many outlets for
restlessness. Most Of us. from the cradle onward, are
safe and secure whether we like it or not. So. when
someone touches off a war in Brazil, there is a grand
rush to get in on the ground floor; and a little later,
very likely, sundry youthful Americans will fill unmarked
graves far down In the southern hemisphere.
To be sure, it is youths privilege to fling its life away
recklessly. for small gain or for no gain at all. Indeed,
many a sedate, middle-aged householder would probably
change places with these youngsters who ere off for
death below the equator. To live intensely for a few
months is sometimes worth a premature and unpleasant
death.
However, recognizing the existence of this spirit Is not
at all the same thing as admitting that there is nothing
that we can do to hold it in check. A revolution in
Brazil is something the world can take in its stride, but
another world war. on the scale of the last one. is not;
and the spirit that is taking Americans to Brazil is the
same spirit that would take all nations into another
great war, if the circumstances were propitious.
. This means that the statesmen of Europe ard America
must take care to keep even the danger of war below
the horizon. Emotionally, we have learned nothing what
ever by the World war. We shall enter a new one as
eagerly as we entered the last one. International crises
hereafter must be met and solved before they come
to q head.

Today Is the
Anniversary of


On Oct. "a, 1858, q party Of Ger
mans, the first German settlers In
the United States, laid out German
town, q suburb Of Philadelphia, Pa.
Four Of this party had the distinction
five years later Of making the first
formal protest ever made in America
against slave holding.
Germantown today is a picturesque
site, having a quaint architecture,
beautiful gardens and large public
libraries. One section Of the town Is
occupied by manufacturing establish
ments and another Is conspicuous for
its fine villas.
The first paper mill in America
was erected in Germantown in 1890.
and here, also, in 1743 the first Amer
licau edition Of the Bible In any Ian
guage wa printed.
Germantown is chiefly noted In
history, however, for the battle which
was fought there between the Amer
leans under Washington and the
British and Hessians under Howe.
This was the battle in which the
Americans attacked their own men
by mistake in the fog, but which they
finally won. The Americans lost 67a
and the British SIS men.

formed pools between the little hills and the automobiles
churning through this water have cut the roads until
many Of them are all but impossible.
Autoists who have driven between Valley City and
Fargo during the last three or four days tell Of scores Of
cars which have been abandoned in the bitches and
Of being forced to wait until approaching cars have plowed
for one car to pass another. In many Of these places
there are high ridges Of gravel on both sides Of the
road which have held the water in the roadway. II the
gravel had been piled onto the center Of the road or had
not been placed on the roadway at all, there would have
been comparatively little trouble in keeping the roadbeds
firm during the present wet spell This IS clearly demon
strated by the hilly sections Of the highways. because
where there was sufficient incline for the water to drain
down into the lower places the roadbed is in very good
condition.
It is errors OF this kind, which 1t would seem to the
lay mind should have been avoided by any intelligent
experienced engineer, that make 1t hard to put over any
proposition for the raising Of more money for highway
