GAINS BEING COUNTED
IN BUSINESS UPTURN
BY EvERIT B. TERHUNE.
What makes neonle huv2

What makes people buy?
First, the need of things; second, the
desire for things.
What's the difference between these
two impulses?
When people need things they usually
buy irrespective of economic conditions,
provided they have the price or the
credit When people desire things, they
usually satisfy these desires only in pc
RODS of prosperity and full employment.
Will prosperity come again?
Yes; it's on its way now. 1t may take
some months to restore our shattered
confidence-but We are counting gains
now rather than losses.

Jumped more than 2 cents a bushel.
Eastern interests trying to purchase
corn available for immediate use found
that the grain was tightly held.

impossible even to start talking of
agreements. He asserted that the
church is being prosecuted in Italy
worse than in Mexico and Russia, and
that 5000 organizations of the Duce's
followers have been given the task of
prosecuting him. However. he de
clared his faith in providence and
