In this connection Investors Syndicate of Minneapolis
offers interesting information the present value of the
dollar as compared with that Of 1926.
The 1925 dollar will buy $15S worth Of clothing; $1S6

home building, and $219 worth Of automobile tires.

That theory might work out the 40 per cent cut

Lost your job?
Too bad, partner
But don't you worry:
You're okey, S'long as you
HAVEN'T LOST YOUR NERVE.
Now, before we go any further.
Let's get this straight.
I know what you're saying
Under your breath
"All right for her to preach
"She's sitting. pretty.
what does she know
about being hungry? =.
"About waking up at night
"In a cold sweat,
wondering how you're going
ITO pay the rent?
What does she know
about walking up and down
THE same darn streets,
DAY after day
Sitting on the same park
benches,
might after night,
Waiting for-what?
wishing you were dead
''N' out of it all.
easy for her to preach,
what does she know
about it all?"
What do I know?
Stranger, you'd be surprised.
Why. I was pounding those
pavements,
Polishing those benches,
When you were still
Cutting teeth on cookies.
So don't act so offiSh.
I paid for this dope
I'm giving you,
And it's straight.
You may lose your job,
You may lose your home,
You may lose your figure
And your friends.
But you can't be licked
UNLESS YOU LOSE YOUR
NERVE.
Nothing left" you say.
You're wrong.
You, yourself, are left,
And that was always
Your biggest asset.
Where'd you get your spunk
In the days gone by?
Out Of you, yourself.
Where'd you get your pride,
Your ambition,
Your smart notions,
Your go-get-'em way?
Out Of you. yourself.
The Washington times., 1931-09-16

You boasted of it, then
Boosted that you had it in you"
Said that nothing could lick you,
And you believed it.
Sometimes it was almost a
game
DaSting Fate to do her darndeSt,
Then proving that you could
OutSmart her!
Taking chances
There " rent any chances
Too risky to take, then,
In those days when
You believed in yourself,
AND YOU ALWAYS GOT BY.
Others might two-time you.
Call you a flat tire,
Say you couldn't
Make the grade.
But you never said
Those things to yourself
Always you believed in yourself,
And always you managed
TO COME OUT ON TOP!
Belief-tnat was the trick OF it.
Faith-it's a curious thing.
That chap that said
"By faith ye shall move noun

Certainly knew his real estate.
Your faith-it moved noun
tains,
Didn't it?
Secret mountains Of doubt,
Ignoratce-Sef- consciousness,
All those hidden barriers
That can jail a man for keeps,
Your faith in yourself,
Moved them all.
SET YOU FREE!
Then what's holding you now?
Hard times and depression?
Guess again
YOUR OWN FEAR
That's what's holding you,
Your own lack Of faith
- In yourself.
Cut it out!
Bad breaks?
Sure there are
But you've had them before,
And you've licked them before
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED
THAT YOU COULD!
Then believe it again!
You still have your stuff
Have faith in that stuff!
Make a bet on yourself!

Church Men Demand
Session of Congress

Church Men Demand
Session Of Congress
The Wisconsin Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
is not satisfied with these ef-
forts Of the Administration to
belittle the seriousness of the
crisis. 1t is a safe surmise that
nine-tenths of the Methodists
of Wisconsin are of the Presi-
dents political persuasion and
are not inspired by partisan or
demagogic motives, when they
say in the report Of their
social service commission:
"The childish chatter Of the
Administration that the Ameri-
can way Of life must be pre-
served indicates an incOmpe-
tenCy and ignorance which
borders on the immoral in its
evasion of responsibility.
Men want food and they
must have it, but above all
they want the opportunity and
privilege Of earning their own
food. If the Administration
is not to be accused Of criminal
negligence, it must give evil
dence, Of something more con.
Structive and permanent than
has yet come forth"
The Methodist Church Of Wis
consin calls upon the President
to summon Congress in extra
session, just as Roosevelt sum-
moned the legislature. to pro
vide funds adequate to assist
municipalities and local COM
munities through relief and pub
lie work programs.
It is gratifying, too, to find
in this report a public express
sion of disgust over the SNUG
references of the Administra-
ton to "the American way" It
finds neither craftsmanship nor
humanity in the policy of giving
free soup to hungry men instead
of putting them to work on pub
lie construction with money
easily raised through sqmething
like a prosperity loan.

The American Dole or Work :: By Claude G. Bowers

The official records of the
New York State Labor Depart

and women in August than in
July. And common sense pro-
claims that thousands, out of
jobs for many months, and
living meagerly on their saw
ings, are now at, or near, the
end of their resources. Many
of these. who have managed
thus far, will be found in the
bread lines this winter.
This is not a time to "reas-
sure" the public with sophistries.
It is a time to arouse people
of means to a realization of
the imperative duty before
them.
Does the Presidents Commits

subscription, sponsor the Ad-
ministrations' assurance to the
public that there is no occasion
for alarm?
