They All Advertise

A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg
She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot
Of intellect to show,
But none the less most ROSTERS have
Enough good sense to crow.
The mule, the most despised of beasts
Has a persistent way,
Of letting folks know he's around
BY his insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz,
Bulls below and cows moo,
The watchdog barks, the ganders
quack,
And doves and pigeons COO.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks
Pigs squeal, and robins sing,
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature could devise,
Will often stop and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.
Ellis H1yes.

Inspired Finance

We've been doing little figuring about that ,0O0,000,000 which. according to a speech by one of the senators, is going to be turned over from creditors to debtors by the new imitation bill. and the more we figure, the more puzzled we are about the process. But finally we begin to see light A statistician who has been figur- ing on our national debt problem concludes that taking all public and private obliga- tions together, our debits and credits are equal. The country owes about $269,- O00,O00,000, and its assets are worth the same amount In short, we owe ourselves S269. 9.0oo,Oo0.Ooo
 This fact in itself looks appalling from one angle. Collectively we're worth noth- ing. Not one unsecured silver certificate. But shifting our position little and look ing at it from another angle, by jiminy, we're all right! We owe each other. We're nearly all both debtors and creditors. We owe the money to ourselves. If we just pay ourselves. by paying each other, the debt is all wiped out and we still have the whole 69,000.000,000 Isn't finance grand3
 Now to get back to senatorial finance. Remembering that individually, corporately and nationally we're both debtors and creditors, we just shift that S200, ,0OO,O OOO,- OOO in suitable sums, from our right hands to our left hands, and that's that The other S6o,OOO, 100000 can wait a bit.
