like the salt put in the spring at Jer
icho by Elisha, to heal ar.d cure the

led to happy and successful accom
plishments.”

this financial brain-storm, creating a
dementia of business," the governor

“While some stagnant water will be
left, the country is now being Inocu
lated with the old-time methods of
prudence, care, honestv and fair deal
ing which will result In clearing and
curing the situation.”
