But almost Immediately after
the man had made the rearrange-
ment above mentioned, his sales
fell off. They fell off steadily I'M
til he saw with alarm that he
was not only not making expenses,
but his little nest-egg was being
eaten up. SO the man decided to
retrench. He cut down his display
space to the point where it had
been before. And he moved his
nut roasting apparatus back into
his shop.
And almost Immediately the
mans sales began to pick up until
in a few weeks they were again
up to the volume where they had
been when he had been encourag-
ed to expand. What was the eX-

The explanation was simple.
There was no mystery. Whenever

READ THE CONSTITUTION

Almost every day l hear the expression, espe-
cially as to the working of the NRA, 'Its not con-
stitutional."
1t would be interesting to know how many Of
these persons who glibly declare this or that
unlawful who ever in their lives read the Consttu-
ton of the United States? It's some document and
any citizen would do we'll to peruse at least once
year.
1t has been said that less than 10 per cent of
the adults of this country could honestly say they
had ever read the Constitution.
They have seen few quotations from it in
articles and editorials they know vaguely that it's
purpose is to guarantee liberty and opportunity

and NAV now be considered one Of our major

How do you like this 21-jewel wrist watch
says the peddler
How much is it?" asks the young man who has
been out of work a long time and now that he
has a job is anxious to make gift to his sweet
heart or wife.
"a dollar down and dollar week." comes the
answer
"But haven't dollar now," says the young
man.
"Oh, that's all right" returns the knd-hearted
salesman. you have regular job, haven't you?
Lets see, what's the name of your employer?
Good Well, I'll make the first payment for you.
Go ahead and take the watch and just sign this
'receipt'?"
Delighted because of the gift he can give his
loved one and hattered over the confidence that
the peddler has in him, the young man signs the
receipt and takes the watch.
The receipt however, is no receipt at all. 1t
is an assignment that enables the vendor to col
lect the entire wages of the victim, or to seize his
insurance or anything else he may have until the
fantastic price of the watch is paid for.
Such scene is re-enacted thousands of times
day all over America. The "pedders' include
money lenders, who sit in elaborate offices, well
writers of conditional sales contracts in high
ly-decoated stores. The bad part about it is that
the smaller the wage-earrer, the more he is en-
posed to this perfectly legal racket.-Monroe Eli

THE CAUSE OF CONCERN

Donald Richberg scores those who make ode
structive political camor" for immediate balancing
of the budget and asserts that to accede to their
demands would plunge the country into national
disaster"
There are, however, not great many citizens
who would have all relief and other such expendi-
lures cut off instantly in order to make the budget
balance And there is not great deal of genuine
apprehension that the government will get into
an unsound financial position by expenditures
which are actually necessary for relief work If
the country positively knew that within reason
able time expenditures would be brought within
revenues, all apprehension concerning the govern
ment's financial position would vanish instantly
The source of apprehension is the growing pos
sibility that public expenditures will increase ra-
Their than diminish Looking about the country
and observing the numerous Congressional candi-
dates whose promises of digger and better pub
! nc disbursements comprise the essence of their
platform, thoughtful citizens can hardly help but
