Chief J. Sterling Oswalt, of the Ell Cen

resulting from construction of the ALL

BOOTLEG BUSINESS FOUND ON
INCREASE

Nearly three months after the re-
peal of prohibition, the administra-
tor of the alcoholic beverage unit OF
the Department of Justice in Detroit,
Michigan, believes the majority OF
the drinking public still is patroniz-
ing bootleggers.
w. L. Ray, who was head of the
special investigation division of pro-
hibition enforcement before repeal,
said he was convinced that there
are more stills in operation in De-
troit since repeal, and their capacity
is double what is used to be
eff this liquor they distill wasn't
sold and consumed, these ratketeers
wouldn't be manufacturing it," he
said. 1.-THE fact that the alley dis
tilleries continue to operate-and on
larger scale-is evidence of a
market for their products.
"The drinking public still calls up
the bootlegger for it can get fair
quality liquor at one-third the LID
uor-store prices"
The Illicit distillers, he SAID, have
no tax to pay, are putting out a
grade of alcohol comparable TO the
best grade of legitimate alcohol, at
IS for five-gallon can. The tax
alone on five gallons of Legitimate
alcohol, he pointed out, is SIS.
Based upon seizures of stills by
his men in February, he estimated
that a minimum of 100000 gallons
of liquor month is being distilled
Illegally in Detroit, and added, eve
can't even hope to raid any substan'
tial number of the stills.

NINETEEN DEPRESSIONS
WEATHERED

The life insurance industry has
lived through 10 major derressions
and in every instance it has come
out with colors flying. 1t has prov
ed itself the cornerstone of mans fl
nancial structure and provided a
road to financial independence.
In 1857, paper imitation was esti-
mated at s2,0OO,OOO,o00. Banks
failed and mobs ran riot in the
streets. And life insurance, whose
fundamental principles were then
being tried and tested, survived.
In 1873, 70 railroads were in de-
fault. The New York Stock ex-
change closed for week. Depres-
sion and unemployment were ram
pant. Thirty-one life insurance
companies, which are still in bust
ness, carried on as usual, meeting
every rightful obligation.
In one month of 1898, 407 banks
failed. One-hundred-sixty- rail-
roads were unable to meet mortgage
interest. Interest rates rosa to $50
per cent. The government came
closest to bankruptcy in its history.
And in a year of which it is said
that money almost disappeared from
circulation, life insurance paid out a
total of $175, 100000.
In 1907, one of the greatest of all
financial crashes occurred. Depres-
sion was worldwide. Yet every life
insurance company paid contracts in
cash exactly when they fell due.
In 1880, 1881 and 1892 business
es collapsed, banks failed, morator-
iums were declared. During those
years cash payments of 4S leading
life companies aggregated more than
$4,000, 100000, about half of the
original war debt owed our govern
ment by Europe, liz billions OF
which is still unpaid.
Financial Independence Week,
March 1924, is significant and
timely event.

Thinking Rightly About
Business

n KUCH thought is given to the
MI question of business. For
- = most people, supply seems to
be dependent upon the state of bust
ness. If it is good, supply appears to
be adequate; and this condition is
thought to be an influence in helping
the individual to live happily and to
have good health. Seeing, then, that
the state of ones business is believed
to greatly contribute to ones sense
of harmony, we should see the neces-
sity of looking at this question from
the right standpoint.
Some individuals look at this sub
ject more hopefully than do some
others. Many people are beginning
to see that to take the stand that
business Is bad, and that 1t is going
to get worse, is certainly the wrong
way to think about 1t. Many have
stopped using the word depression,
feeling that the continual use of it
has bad effect upon the general
outlook.
Business is primarily mental. In
fact, all human experience is the out
ward expression of state of con-
seriousness" Christian Science reveals
God, infinite good. as the only Mind.
If the individual accepts this fact.
he can learn how to reject all wrong
thoughts. The acceptance of God, in
finite good, as the only Mind opens
his thought to receive the good and
perfect ideas which come from God,
divine Mind.
The only real business is the activ-
ity which comes from God. The one
infinite, spiritual creation is always
expressing the perfect activity which
comes from the creator. Wonderfully
uplifting is the realization of the
truth set forth in this statement by
Mary Baker Eddy: Mind is the
source of all movement, and there is
no inertia to retard or check its per-
petual and harmonious action" (Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, p. 1887. For several years
the world has been accepting the gen.
eral belief that something has inter-
tered with harmonious activity; and,

upward trend. Mainstay of the
Jump is still the automobile indus
try's spectacular recoverv-and
spectacular is the word. Every
fresh report coming from the motor
centers is more encouraging than
the last. Untitled orders fer both
trucks and cars are looming. Ford
and General Motors alone are re-
ported to be at least quarter OF a
million orders behind. And other
industries are racing along with the
auto makers. In the department
stores, according to the last an
nouncement, the cash registers are

tional gain of % per cent in dollar
volume over last year.

both time and effort have been ex
pended in trying to ascertain what is
the trouble. One who accepts the
fact that omnipotent Mind lis the
source of all movement" can never
believe in depression as real. Hav-
ing gained the true idea of activity,
one can refuse to accept the belief
that any mortal superstition has in
terfered, or ever can interfere, with
harmonious activity.
A business man might be told by
several of his statesmen that they
found sales very poor, and he might
learn that someone in similar line
of business had failed. He might let
anxiety and fear enter his thought.
This, of course, would not be helpful.
On the other hand, if he refused to
accept wrong thoughts about business
and held to the fact that real activity
comes from divine Mind, and is al
ways perfect, his affairs would inn
prove; and to this extent he would
help to improve conditions in general.
Since harmonious activity comes
from God, divine Mind, and the real
man, the true selfhood of all, is the
image and likeness of divine Mind,
the real mans business is always
good, and spiritual man is ever re-
joicing in harmonious activity. The
great Way-shower, Christ Jesus, rec
ognized that spiritual man ever re-
fleets God, for he said, "The Son can
Go nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth, these also doeth the
Son likewise" Ore who accepts the
true idea of activity Is able to rise
above the beliefs of fatigue, monot-
ony, and worry; for the realization
of the fact that man reflects divine
Mind gives joyous strength, freedom,
and expectancy of good.
Since business is in reality the
activity which comes from God, d.
vine Principle, fear, dishonesty,
greed, selfishness, and lack of ability
are no part of real business. This
knowledge enables one to refuse to
accept these falsities as having power
to operate in his thought and affairs;
and he sees instead honesty, eficien-
cy. freedom, love, and, joy. The
realization of the truth brings ones
human business into harmony with

landlord in any county to 500 and
also restrict the amount that may be
loaned per acre, depending on the
kind of crop being grown.
All funds will be advanced to the
borrower at the time the loan is
made and not on budget basis.
The borrower must make the
amount advanced run him through
the entire season, for if the money
is used up before the crop is finish
the crop is sa
ed, or if the money is pent for any
other purpose, additional advances
will not be made.
Loans may be made to borrower
before his crops are planted provid-
ed a first lien may be taken on the
crops growing or to be grown as Sc
curity for the loan. In some states,
according to the law, first lien may
be taken on crops to be grown dur
ing the season even though the crops
have not been planted. In other
states this is not permitted. There
it will be necessary for the borrower
to agree to give first lien on the
crops to be grown.
All loans from the fund are to be
secured by a first lien on ali crops
growing or to be planted or grown
or harvested during the yeal 1884;
in the case of summer following or
the production of winter wheat
farmer must give first lien, or an
agreement to give a first lien, on
such crops to be harvested in 1895.
In the case of loans to renters or
share-croppers, the landlord will
have to waive his claim to the rent
or share of the crop. The Jaw re-
quires this. On the other hand, all
tenants or share-croppers benefitting
from any loan to landlord must
waive their claims to the crops if
the landlord is to receive a loan
from the emergency crop loan fund
The recording fee or other legal
fees in connection with emergency
crop loans may be paid by the Farm
Credit Administration up to $1.00.
The borrower must pay the balance,
Iif any.
Emergency crop loans will mature
when the crops are harvested and
available for sale.

plicant If he is not eligible, loans
may not be made to his wife, UNI

With the addition of Illinois this
year, the number of states requiring
certificates of title to automobiles
has now reached twenty-six. The
sooner this number is expanded to
include all the states of the Union,
the better it will be. Stolen autos
are of value to rings of thieves only
for sale purposes. Where there is
little or no market for stolen cars,
auto stealing soon becomes ineffec-
