WE MUST PRESCRIBE
FOR OURSELVES

AT the low point in a business de-
preston, a man whose personal af-
fairs were in bad order, wrote: THE
big business leaders have made a
horrible mess of things"
! II did not occur to the man to as
cuse himself and exclaim: 81 have
made a horrible mess OF things"
He had had six years of uninter-
rupted prosperity in which to put
his house in order He might have
utilized the cream from those fat
years. He could have paid OF the
mortgage on his house. retired his
business obligations and accumulat-
ed surplus to tide him over hard
times. II he had done these things.
and il several million others had
been as frugal, the crisis that later
distressed everyone might not have
occurred.
Too many of us are disposed 10
blame "the system" when we are in
difficulties. The system under which
we operate is based on freedom of
individual enterprise. Each of us Is
allowed a loose rein in the manage
ment of his affairs. We may save
money or spend it. We may work
or loaf. We may insure our lives
or take a chance on leaving our fam
lilies destitute. The government and
public opinion exercise only moder-
ate control.
When everyone is happy and we'll
fed. we hear hurrahs and hosannas
for the genius of our business lead
ers. Some of these leaders come to
believe that they are really Napo-
Icons of finance and industry. They
become racular. The wise man. how
ever, discounts such nonsense be-
cause he realizes that all men are
human and that excessive ambition
leads TO Waterloo.
Instead of relying on the wisdom
of others, he puts his faith in his
own common sense. If his earnings
double and triple in good times. he
takes the surplus and puts ii where
he knows il is safe While others
are borrowing money at the peak of /.
prosperity, he is rapidly getting him
self out of debt.
How many have the courage and /
foresight and independent judgment
to follow this obvious procedure? .
reveals that such common
sense is rare. Too many men pay
in hard times the debts acquired in
good times.
It's no use relying on business
leaders or government to save us
from the consequences of folly. Each
OF us must be his own physician
If We will diagnose our condition
and prescribe the remedy promptly,
we can enjoy permanent economic
and financial heaith.-News. Van

Profitable Water

Some farmers in the drought reg
ions who were able 10 improvise ir-
rigation systems last summer reap
ed handsome profits. John c. Dunno
gan, of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, reports the experience of fruit
grower who irrigated S27 eight-year-
old peach trees in an orchard at
Sprincdale. Ark He applied approx
imately 100000 gallons of water
during the drought at a cost of S240.
He marketed about 5000 bushels of
peaches from the trees, and the
fruit was of so much better size and
quality than the peaches from un-
irrigated trees that his price was
about so cents a bushel more than
his neighbors were able to get.
Thus the $240 expenditure for wa
ter was responsible for a $500 in
crease in income. for quality. not
counting the increase in the number
of bushels he harvested as the re-
suit of irrigation.
New sweet potatoes are fine.
