time until I heard of California Fig
Syrup and got him some. The first
few doses regulatedh his bowels: bright
ened him up marvelously; even
seemed to ease the coughing spasms
a great deal.
II have since used Fig Syrup with
my boy during colds or upsets. It has
been a wonderful help to him; has
assisted in making him the strong
boy you see-perhaps the healthiest
one in our neighborhood."
For more than fifty years, mothers
have praised California Fig Syrup.
Leading physicians advise its use
with bilious, headachy, constipated
children, or to keep the bowels open
during colds or children's diseases.
Children love its rich, fruity flavor.
It tones and strengthens weakened
bowels; helps make children robust.
Look for the name California when
buying. That marks the genuine.

Few Crops Escape Loss

Few Crops Escape Loss
This was a good potato year, an in
crease of ! per cent being registered.
The drought went around the largest
potato-producing areas, but the po-
tato lost money for his eason of
back breaking work. He got 30 per
cent less in 1890 for his crop than in
1929. Tobacco is a crop which takes
an unusual amount of labor. 1t is
grown in areas affected adversely by
the drought but still a good crop was
made, only n per cent under 1929.
yet the tobacco grower received % per
cent less for it.
The tale goes on seemingly endless
ly and sadly. Rye was down AZ per
cent; buckwheat, rice, and flaxSeed-
not crops much raised in the United
States but crops on which some thou
sands of farmers depend-showed de-
clines ranging from 20 to 81 per cent.
The farmer knows these facts all
too we'll. He knows them from his own
experience and he hears the depart
ment of agriculture reiterate them to
him over the radio, and yet he keeps
on planting. The reason is that there
is nothing else for him to do. His
farm is his capital. his plant, his stock
in trade. If he does not work 1t, in
stead of having low prices coming in
he will have no prices, no money.
Supposing prices of some of his prod
ucts are the lowest in 80 years while
the prices of the things he must buy
have declined but very slightly. A 30
year-old dollar is better than no
dollar.
But county agents and others in
close touch say that, as never before.
the American farmer is going to mix
a lot of intelligence and canniness
with his seed. For example. he Is go
ing to use only his best land. only the
most productive equipment, and Is
going to hold labor costs to q mini
mum.
One thing seems pretty certain. No
amount of adversely in the way OF
poor h~arvests, drought, and low prices
can make the American farmer say
he is licked.

Changing Fashions in Crime

Crimes and criminals may be increasing. But
that may not mean that men are any anti
social in the United States today than they we're a
generation ago.
One major cause OF the increase OF crirninality is
the enactment of laws which legisIate crimes into
existence Changes in civilization and social ideals
lead us to declare acts criminal which were not
garded few years ago.
With this general principle familiar But
even the expert student of crminoogy is likely to
be shocked by the actual degree to which make
crimes by legislation AT recent meeting crime,
its and cures called by the social science re-
search council of the speakers called attention to
the astonishing fact that less than rs per cent Of
all the inhabitants of greatly overcrowded federal
prisons and custodia institutions there because
of acts which were not crimes fifteen years ago.
Some Of these new crimes are the result of bet
ter social conscience and intelligent social at
titude. Others-probably most-are product of our
zeal to make good by law. In any event,
this appalling increase of crinnalty via legislation
should lead to searching examination of the motives
and results Of this new mania.
We can not very well wiring hands in the path
of social progress. But it is for pause and
Election when legislative assemblies contribute
more to crime-makng than our underworld.

The Present Status of Capitalism

The Reds believe capitalism is on its last legs.
Indeed many Of them already exutantly have
preached its funeral sermon. On the other hand,
Professor E. R. A. Seligman dean Of Columbia econ
onlsts and recently appointed financial adviser to
Cuba, declares capitalism just getting started after
some three centuries Of birth pains:
1--WE just in the first stages of capitalism. All
need in capitalism is strengthening of the sense
Of social responsibility. We always will need the
genius Of private business leaders The conmunistc
philosophy is wrong. We always must leave to man
his individualism and freedom and reward him for
his individual efforts Economically, the Russian
project is sound, but it lacks the spiritual unity
needed in an enduring civilization"
It is probably a little premature to declare the
twentieth century the christening the funeral Of
capitalism. That capitalism old style, is groggy, few
detached observers would be likely to deny What
enlightened and socalized capitalism may achieve in
the way of savaging the existing order remains to be
seen 1t has passed little beyond the phrase MILL
yet.
Further we need not be so sure that the future
of society going to belong to any particular ism
In a scientifically ordered economic society, there
probably will be a place for individualis co-opera-
ton and Communism.
We very likely shall apply each in the manner
for which it is best adapted to promote the smooth
running of the whole society. Exclusive devotion to
any single socio economic label is one of the chief
obstacles to clear thinking in the field of economic
craftsmanship
