DID NOT LIVE in VAIN

A Minnesota newspaper reports that
a Fairmont man wrote his own Obit-
uary two years before he died. took
it to the editor of the paper and asked
him to file it away until it was
needed. The editor put it away so
securely that when the man died two
years later it could not be found. 1t
was dug up two years after the man
died, or four years after it had been
written, and was then published 1t
was unique in more than one way.
Most obituaries are usually polished

friends of the departed. The obitu-
airy. however. told the plain, unvar-
nished truth. The man had been a
victim of booze. 1t had wrecked his
career. which had been promising in
the beginning, had separated him
from his family. made him county
charge. and. finally, brought him to
his end. He told the whole grim
story without reservations or alibis.

ing someone else from the same fate

Iowa town. A shipment of goods re-
ceived by the customer was rejected
as unsatisfactory.
The jobber prepared to institute
suit for collection, and wrote to the
railroad agent at the village for in
formation about the arrival of the mer-
chandise; to the president of the bank
for information concerning the finan-
cial standing of their customer; to
the mayor of the city asking him to
recommend a good lawyer to handle
their case; and to the merchant him
self, threatening suit, if he did not
make payment at once.
All the desired information came

Any community which does not at

boys and girls and unemployed men
and women is committing a mistake
for which it is bound to pay later.
The question before us today is how
best to maintain those things which
are essential to civic and industrial
we'll being with the funds at our dis
posaL The past has shown us that
crime, ill health, and loss of morale
are expensive. We spend millions of
dollars each year on police courts and
prisons. Experience should have
taught us by this time the value and
economy of reinforcing essential serv-
ices. 1t is not question of whether
or not as citizens of a community we
can afford a character-building and
recreational program at this time, but
rather whether we can afford to get
along without one. Youth cannot
wait for a return of better days. COur-
age, morale and wise guidance are
needed today for all ages, as they
have seldom been in the history OF
our country.-Newton D. Baker.

black threads or white threads as the
pattern needs. And when at last God
lifts up the finished garment, it is
easy to see that the dark threads are
as essential to the beauty and perfec-

wheat. If the supply of gold is low
or the demand high it's value rises,
but, since we use it for money, this
means that the whole price level de-
clines that debts become unjust
that business stops-that unemplOy-
ment occurs. We must adopt a
measure of value that will include
the average of all commodities or
stable necessities of life. $50 long

was when man lived on a flat earth,
about which the sun revOlved.)
Until then, what can be done to
relieve the present depression? The
U. S. can abandon the gold standard
ficient currency warranted by the
wealth of the natural resources of
the U. S. and with this currency take
up farm mortgages (and perhaps all
small home owners mOrtgageS)
against an amortization period of up
to 25 years and an additional tax of
12% for administration expenses.
Any savings on that would be clear
profit for the federal government.
This in short means only that the
United States by the administration
of the federal government loan its
credit to home makers against ample
security.
Why it should be better and safer
for the federal government to issue
bonds and borrow the money at go
or more and reloan the money to
home makers is beyond my compre-
hension. There would be adequate
security in the mortgaged homes and
farms. A plan like this would bring
a large amount of money into circula-
ton, stimulate the buying power to
consume the products of labor,
whether on the farms or industry.
If anyone can work out better
and more sure and sound plan to
break the depression, | will be glad

friendly consideration and criticism,
but without something along that line
am sure it will take many more
years than we can imagine and we
will increase our national and state
department debt year after year, by
apprOpriating money for relief
The two statements following by
Senator Henrik Shipstead are taken
from the Congressional Record of
March 18th, 1892:
Il don't believe we can borrow our
selves out of debt, or out of the de-
preston.
ut is not true that our troubles are
due to the mistakes of Europe. The
depression started here and increased
in force for five months before it hit
Europe"

FARM MORTGAGES AND
MORATORIUM
Editor AskOv American:

Editor AskOv American:
Will a moratorium solve the prob
lem in prolonged depression? On
the Goth of February this year at a
special meeting of the AskOv Farm
Loan Association a resolution was
adopted expressing the opinion that a
moratorium for two years should be
declared on all interest and Install
ments on federal farm loans. A copy
of this resolution was mailed to some
500 associations in the Seventh dis
trict and to each of our senators and
representatives.
This prompted some Correspondence,
among others with a banker in
Wausau, Wis, director in the Fed
eral Land Bank, ST Paul. In his letter
he said: "We will not foreclose any
more farms at the present.
Some time ago a meeting was held
in Pine City, obviously for a similar
purpose, a moratorium for the Min
nesota Rural Credit loans.
A moratorium for two years would
only give temporary relief, even if the
depression should be over within two
years. This however is impossible
unless we repair the main cause, the
gold standard medium of ex-
change We have learned by exper-
fence that whenever there is a short
age of any commodity, the price goes
up, and if there be a supply beyond
the capacity to buy, the price goes
down. AS an example in the spring
of 1920 few hundred bushels of pO-
tatoes were sold from Askov at $500
at that time to buy bushel of pota-
toes, the six dollars to be paid back
i'm the fall of 1882 with accumulated
interest at six per cent. it would take
36 bushels of potatoes to pay interest
of $4.32 and so bushels at 12c
bushel to pay the six dollar loan.
That of course is an extreme example,
but it illustrates clearly how our med
ium of exchange works.
DR.. G. F. Warren Of the Department
of Agricultural Economics, Cornell
University, says: There is no pos
sibility of any general production be-
yond our capacity to consume if only
the exchange system will operate"
The machine used for trading has bro
ken down, we are trying to run an auto
without a battery. Money illustrates
the battery that keeps business going.
If money suddenly rises in value, the
whole price level falls, and the ma
chine stalls. If the trades could only
be made directly by barter, business
would hum. If business could pro-
coed we would be too busy to worry
about taxes. During the war most
of the world abandoned the gold stan
dard and ceased to bid for gold. Gold
moved to the U. S. in enormous guam
titles. The reason that gold became
SO cheap was the low demand for it,
therefore potatoes could be sold for
other, the various countries returned
to the gold basis and soon the world
wide demand for gold developed.
There was in effect a corner on gold.
And now again, 81 countries have
had to give up the gold standard. 1t
seems as though our business success
and the amount of unemployment are
primarily dependent on the world de-
mand for gold.
We have not yet invented a measure
of REAL value. We use fixed weight
of one commodity as a measure. This
is a measure Of weight, not value.
The law of supply and demand holds
for gold just as fully as it holds for
