the early seventies for q lone man or
even few men to go out TO work, be-
cause Of the hatred OF some Of these
Indian tribes.
When the town Of Kerchival City, at
the mouth of the Musselshell river was
partially destroyed, and all hope Of it's
future success abandoned, the inhab =
itants had TO move. Some went back
down the river. but those who still want
ed to pioneer and endure the hardships
of frontier life, moved on up the river
to q location about 80 miles farther.
Here they choose big flat OF Missouri

abundance Of cottonwood timber. These
logs were splendid for building purposes.
and they set TO work to build a new

seeking adventure and he got plenty Of 1t
In Montana. He worked at various Jobs
along the river, but his chief occupation
was trading. His death is recorded in
Helena on FEB. 8, 1909.
Old Carol was situated IS miles from
the present town OF Roy, its nearest rail-
road center. It was more than IT'S miles

AMERICAS CAPACITY TO CON
SUNE ALMOST UNLIMITED.

An interesting book is Americas
Capacity to Consume" issued by the
Brookings Institution, an organization
of experts that devotes its time to a
study of economic and other social
problems. The institution is supported
by the Maurice and Laura Falk Foun-
dation of Pittsburgh and its work is
supposed to be an impartial investiga-
ton in search of truth without being
influenced by preconceived notions.
The books conclusions in respect to
Americas capacity to consume is some
what unsettling to notions held by
many. One of these conclusions is to
the effect that the United States has
not reached stage of economic de-
velopment in which it is possible to
produce more than the American peo-
pie as a whole would like to consume
1t says that actual production of
consumption goods in 1929 the peak of
our prosperity, totaled about 70 billion
dollars worth, while potential or pos
sible production of consumption goods
equalled about sc billion.
The conclusion is drawn that if all
family incomes below $500 would be
raised to $500, but with no changes
above that level of income, actual con-
sumption of goods would be raised
more than 16 billion-the difference
between the actual and potential pro-
duction of consumption goods in 1929
Adding $1,000 to every family income
below $4,000 would increase consump-
ton by about 81 billions. u
In view of these findings it is held
that we cannot materially shorten the
working day and still produce the
quantity of goods and services which
the American people aspire to consume
Actual production in 1929 was done on
work week averaging about 81 hours.
Potential production of 1929 totaling
about 81 billion dollars-which would
have done away with all unemploy-
ment-was also based on work week
of 81 hours. 1t is held that to reduce
the work week to 80 hours as is now

suggested in some quarters would
greatly reduce production.
Assuming universal increase in
efficiency in agriculture, mining, manu-
faeture, transportation, marketing and
all other branches of industry of Is
per cent, there would still be a pro-
ductive output considerably smaller
than in 1929. Unless there is a vast in
crease in productive efficiency, the
work week cannot be materially re-
duced without great curtailment of
production and consequently a con-
sumption standard much below that of
1929
1t would appear from study of this
intensely interesting subject that bet
ter distribution of current annual in
come would help greatly in putting
America back on the road to prosperity,
and that probably IS trite statement.

CONTRADICTIONS.

An English visitor not long ago made
a three or four weeks trip across the
United States, and the things he saw
impressed him so deeply that he had to
retire to his study at once and write a
book
In this book, according to advance
reports, he expresses his utter amaze
ment at the contradictions he found in
American life Accustomed to the staid
and orderly conditions OF England, he
was bewildered and little appalled, by
what he saw over here.
These things being SO, his only pos
sible recourse was to turn author and
speak his mind about things
1t is impossible not to. feel little
sympathy for him, because if there
ever was country which it is i'm
possible to understand at glance it
is this America of ours.
Some of us, indeed, have lived in it
all our lives and still don't understand
it. 1t is, all in all, about as amazing
a land of contrasts and contradictions
as human beings ever made
1t is land which professionalizes
college athletics and makes heroes out
Of prize fighters and baseball players; it
is also land which produces scientists
and casts a 200-inch telescope to look
at stars that man never saw before.
1t is the land where the dollar is
worshiped, but it is also the land which
is willing to go seven or eight billion
dollars in the hole in an effort to break
its way out of trade depression.
1t is the land Of cheap movies, cheap
er radio, and society leaders" who
endorse tooth paste for pay-and it is
also the land that produces persons like
Jane Adams and gives men like Leo
pold Stokowski free rein to create
beauty
1t puts Huey Long in its senate.
and then counter-balances him with
George w Norris. 1t is the land of the
Lindbergh kidnapping, but it is also the
land which produced Lindbergh him
self.
1t is world-famous as a land Of boast
ers, but for years it has paid good
money to foreign authors and lecturers
to tell it what is wrong with it.
1t is the hard-hearted land Of lynch
lngs, ana IL Is the generous land which
will send millions of dollars to Japanese
earthquake victims 1t maintains a
gigantic navy and spends millions on
aircraft, but it is the only nation brave
enough to expose the chicanery Of mu-
nitions manufacturers.
You could 90 on like that for an
hour How, indeed, is any foreigner to
understand such a people?
A compound Of wisdom and foolish
ness, of braggadocio and humility, of
strength and weakness-we can't I'M
derstand ourselves.
We can only sense that we are a
strange people of infinite possibilities,
who are trying to build a society un-
like any other on earth +. and our
saving grace is the fact that generally
speaking we have spasms of courage
and of idealism that help prod us on to
try making it better than any other.
| Between spasms a sense of hurnor
contributes to helping keep us from
killing cynicism and Encouragement

THE UNEMPLOYED LEAD In
BIRTHRATE.

The greatest number of babies are
being born to families least capable of
supporting them. This is the inforna-
ton disclosed by a half-dozen surveys
made by as many different agencies.
all telling the same story
In December, 1884, there were near
ly 20 million persons on relief rolls
and it cost 1870 million dollars to take
care of them, the federal government
putting up 1874 million. Babies are COM
ing fastest in those families living on
public money, in those families about
to go on relief and those with less than
$1,000 year income.
The F'ERA found that in October,
1883, there we're $4,000 children S
years of age and under living on public
funds. They were truly depression
babies since many of the families were
already on relief in 1929. Another sur
vey found that relief families had
birth rate SO, per cent higher than
those of the same economic scale but
not living on public money The highest
birth rate in any of our economic
classes was found in the ranks of the
unskilled, unemployed; the lowest
among the full-time, employed persons.
It's grave legacy that we are hand
ing on to posterity. Right now the re-
lief burden is costing us 5 million dol
lars day, or IS dollars a second.
