into a $l,500-a week chore in Hol-

when someone asks one or the

WALL STREET FOLLOWS
THE GENERAL TREND

1.-THE stock market roared out of eX-
istence (for 1850 with a demonstra-
ton that brought 112 new highs for the
year and carried the entire list forward
fractions to as much as four points. 1t
was a fitting climax to a market that
has made one of the most sustained dem
onstrations of strength in history :.
The quotation is taken from a year
end market story appearing in this
newspaper. To students of business and
economies, it is a cheerful sign of the
times, and at the same time warning
that the unwary may be caught and
once again treated as lambs at the
slaughter.
Wall Street does not govern the pros
perity of the United States, nor is it al
ways a good indication of that prosper
ity. Usually it is a rather untrustworthy
barometer A sudden drop in the market
is not an indication of a sudden drop IN
volumes of business, nor is sudden rise
an indication of quick return to boom
times. It is true however, that there is
greater activity on the market when
times are good, and because of this there
is much of cheer in year-end reports.
Wall Street. in the present instance,
has followed the general trend. Regard
less of their politics, economists general

upgrade. They confess that there IS
more prosperity now than at any time
since the down-hill slide began in 1929.
The markets activity is only very
minor demonstration of the fact.
There is danger in such a market,
however. for those who are lured into
brokers' offices by reports of wealth
gained overnight sometimes fail to rec
ognize that ignorance of stock trading
is sure prelude to heavy losses. Unfor-
tunately, they are most often the very
ones who cannot afford to lose heavily.
They are the ones who furnish for others
the very wealth of which they read. In
NV such gamble as the stock market,
W n. more persons must lose every time
another wins. Usually the loser is the
one who does not know much of the
game he is playing.
1t is good thing to see active trading
on the stock markets. long as some
one else is doing the trading.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. UP)-There

1t is the same thing that the writ

state does not desire to take back
its burden from the federal gov

Here in Arkansas we find Sem

the building of a great levee along
the Mississippi river is purely a
national project.
Says Senator Robinson:
1.-THE plan proposes if floWage
rights are first obtained by the
states and the states subdivisions,
the states will be reimbursed for
expenditures by the federal gov
eminent.
Since no state is in a position
to advance Or TO assume its pay
