He told Of others who neighed

not worry over such manifestations

DR.. Hrdlicka said children seem

gestures in such detail that it is
difficult to believe their behavior is
purely initiative. He thinks perhaps
the crawling child considers itself a
lower animal rather than a human

venture to say that big part OF
depression is caused by fear that
some unknown thing might happen
Then the first thing that enters the
head is to communicative as cheaply
as possible, spend as little as possible
with the result that on account OF
this unknown fear, business slows
down; there is no demand for goods;
factories curtail; men are laid off
Men out Of employment everywhere
cut down markets for raw materials
and farm products, and we have de-
preston.
What is needed is less economy.
Those who are working should get
ever their fears and buy the things
they need SO the factories can get
busy and buy more raw materials, re-
employ those that they have laid off
and generally make business better for
everybody.
Now is the time to buy the things
you need. Read the advertisements
in your local paper. Prices are right.
Get some of your dollars to work.
If enough of you will do this, the
depression will soon be over and every
body will be happy again.

matches when other children are

THE SHE LIES!
BY Russell v. Mack

| We have SO many beef cattle In
southwestern Washington that If these
beef could be moulded into one COW
that COW would stand with her fore
feet in the Pacific ocean, her hind legs
in the Arctic sea and brush the Aurora
Borealis with her tail.
If the Chehalis river were drained
dry of all its water and our daily milk
production poured Into the channels
the Chehalis river would have, every
"a hours, the greatest freshets known
in the history of mankind. Great
liners from the Orient, laden with
silks and spices, would enter this-the
greatest lumber port of the world. As
they churned their way upstream that
rich milk would be turned into even
| richer butter.
That butter would flow away in the
wakes of these vessels like endless is
lands of gold. Because of the richness
of our milk the salmon spawn would
reach their four years growth in the
afternoon of the same day they were
born. They would return to the spawn
ing grounds as full grown fish on the
evening of the same day. Salmon
would become SO plentiful and vicious
that fishermen would have to hide be-
hind the stumps to bait their hooks.
| We raise so much pork in south
western washington that if our pigs
could be made into one pig that pig
would be big and strong enough to dig
the Panama canal in three roots.
Our annual clip from the backs OF
our sheep will provide enough wool
for the politicians of this state, OF
every state in the Union-with Russia
thrown in to boot-to pull the wool
over the eyes of the proletariat for the
next AZ generations. This estimate is
based upon the assumption that the
population of the world doubles every
60 years.
If our annual egg output could be
made into one omelet that omelet
would be so large that it would take
Charles Lindbergh 90 hours and AZ
minutes to fly across it, east to west or
north to south.
If our bees could be moulded into
one bee, that bee, flying in the air,
would be so large that it would cast
its shadow over every state west of
the Mississippi river with the single
exception of California. The stinger
from that bee would be so large that
if sawed up into lumber 1t would pro-
duce not only billion feet more l,lm-
Der than mills of Tacoma cut, but 1t
would produce billion feet more lum-
Der than the port of Tacoma claims to
ship.
We hope that we have given you q
greater pride in this best part Of the
best state in the best nation of the
best world we have thus far visited.
