1872 These set the stage for an
other financial panic. The mar
ket was making a recovery from
this setback when the great
banking house Of Jay Cooke and
Company suddenly failed. The
shocking announcement resulted
in the first closedown of the
leading Stock Exchanges for sew
eral weeks seeding the deep de-
preston that began in 1873 and
went on for number Of years.
Still Unexpected Happenings
A new flood of investment sell
ing was brought about by the
sudden shooting of President
Garfield on July 2 1881. Out of
this panic came the unsettling
failure of the great banking
house Of Grant and Ward and Of
the two most important bulls"
OF the period Henry Willard
and James R. Keene. AS usual
another depression came along
after these unexpected events
and lasted a few years. Pros
perity prevailed generally in
1892 then came a shattering
blow in May 1893. The failure of
the National Cordage Company.
This firm was then one Of the
nations ten largest and was
considered a real blue Chip.
The next year like a flash of
lightning came the nations
first serious walkout the Pull
man Strike. Pessimism spread
across the country increased
still further by a rash of crop
failures and mortgage fore
closures. BY 1897 conditions
were again SO bright that fore
casts of permanent prosperity
were once more being made.
Stock splits large security Of

came another unexpected hap
penlng: A Supreme Court deci-
sion following charge of "un-
digeSted securities envalving in
vestments of leading life insu.-
ance and transit corporations
which were then extremely popu-
lar. All these events were truly
unexpected. But then came an
other totally unforeseen occur
renee: This time it was the San
Francisco earthquake.
The Influence OF Wars
Interference with business by
the federal government kept
market prices soft in the early
1905. but things went well after
our entrance into World War l
until 1920 when stocks lost
ground due to this situation was
rates. After this situation was
corrected the market went sky
rocket.ng until it hit what were
then the an-time highs of 1929.
l do not have to elaborate on
the depression Of the 1905.
Starting in 1898 business began
a recovery at continued
throughout World War II, but the
stock market did not do much
until 1912. Then came a long
upward climb. with only temper
airy Interruptions.
The reason l give readers an
occasional historical review of
this sort is so they will never
forget that no matter how sure
one may feel about future
trends an unexpected event can
throw the situation completely
out Of whack. Seasoned inves-
tors keep this fact in mind at
all times.

Faith Removes Mountains

III is sometimes difficult for many to-
day 70 maintain faith in any of sew
eral ways. Yet. in today's fast-moving
world. our faith in our religious prin-
ciples. in the future OF our country, in
the goodness within our fellow men, and
IN ourselves, is our most vital posses
sion
AS Jesus once remarked to leper
who had come to him begging mercy and
then having been cured, it was his faith
that actually cured him. That principle
holds true today.
We are not accustomed to offering
unlimited persona advice to our read
ers. However, we like to see person

with abiding and answering faith in
his God, his country and his fellow men.
Only faith in our country and in our
ability can reassure Us when we study
the international situation. Only faith
in our friends and our family can sup
port US in times when the world seems
to be falling down all around US.
For peace of mind, future happiness
and genuine understanding of life and
what is to be accomplished with it.,
faith seems to be the key. Ask yourself
how much faith you have in your fell
low citizens, in your community and the
life you are leading. If you have none.

For April

For the garden calendar here
are some important hints for
April gardening, says Ed Ralph,
Associate County Agent. Re-
member the garden is only as
nice as you make 1t. So, take
care in applications and pro-
cedures. For best results con-
suit good Information bulletins
on gardening.
Finish pruning roses. Prune
Forsythias and other early
blooming shrubs when tn e
flowers have faded. Apply fer
tilizer when the grass blades
are dry. Plant evergreens now.
The earlier In April, the bet
ter. Evergreens such as arbor-
vitae and yew which need prun-
ing may be cut back just before
the growth starts. It is safer
not to cut into wood more than
one year old. All winter cover
ing should be removed by the
middle of the month. Sow seeds
Of hardy flowers and vegetables
