NECMY
Short Crops, High Prices and Low
Tariff Necessitate Constructive
Commercial Planning.
By B. C. FORBES.
The West Is again chiding the Ea.«t
for having lost every drop of red
blood. Western business men can
not understand the caution exercised
by their Eastern brethren.
• • •
Well, which is right—the optimis
tic West or the conservative East ?
•\ • •
Being obliged to breathe the con
taminated air of the effete East, my
views are doubtless affected thereby.
I think prudence calls for a careful,
non-risky course commercially.
• * •
The crops are not good.
• • •
That is one big. dominating, gov
erning fact. With our rapid growth
in population, we need larger, not
smaller, yields of every variety of
foodstuff We need more, not fewer,
cattle —but the number is decreas
ing so alarmingly that a law restrict
ing the slaughter of calves should be
promulgated. We need a generous
rather than a niggardly supply of
cotton.
• • •
The airy reply of the blind opti
mist-at-any-cost is that prices will
rise enough to compensate the
farmer for short crops. He even im
plies that light harvests are, there
fore, a blessing instead of a curse.
• • •
That is nonsense. People must
have a sufficiency of food if they are
to remain fit and do a full day’s
work. The price of food is a tre
mendously serious consideration for
the great majority of the country’s
inhabitants. High prices ARE a
curse. They sped hardship for the
great body of the people. They
bring, not general prosperity, but
general depression and discontent.
• • •
On the crop question, therefore,
the East's disappointment over the
grave damage to crops is well based.
• ♦ •
Then the East can not forget that
we are on the eve of enforcing the
most radical tariff revision our
manufacturers have ever had to con
tend with. True . there has been less
whining than in former tariff-reform
years. But that does not necessarily
mean there will be no disturbances.
Among local banking and business
circles there is much underground un
easiness on this score —far more than
is publicly expressed. A good deal
of scattered trouble is feared.
• * •
For my part, I have great faith in
the ability of American business men
to adapt their affairs to meet changed
circumstances. I do not believe
foreigners are to mow down Ameri
san manufacturers. I do not believe
the total amount, or even value, of
our manufactured products will be
less in 1915 than it was in 1910. 1
believe there will be a quickening of
effort, a speeding up of energy, a re
doubling of enterprise, especially in
invading foreign markets. We will
not go backward, but forward. We
have the natural resources, we have
the men, we have the capital, we
have the brains and we have the am.
bit ion. We lack needful experience
in meeting European competitors in
neutral markets. We lack American
banking facilities in the Latin-
American countries that are crying
aloud for our exploitation. We lack
courtesy and adaptability in dealing
with other nationalities. We lack
appreciation of the importance of
small export orders. We want to run
before we creep in our conquest of
oversea markets.
There must be a period of read
justment to the-new conditions pre
cipitated by the Wilson tariff. The
East’s apprehensions of temporary
uncertainty, nervousness and mor
or less embarrassment, may prove
well founded. Indeed, there have
been quite a number of failures dur
ing the last three months, and more
concerns are being “carried” than
the West realizes.

ADMEN’S DINNER
MARKED 81 CAY
“CABARET”
Seventy-five Apostles of Publicity
Eat and Laugh and Join
Memory Contest.
If you meet a member of the Ad
Men’s Club to-day and ask him the
whyfore of all this tired expression
and the sighs—don’t be surprised it
he only stares vacantly and mum
bles something about eats and trade
marks
He was at the dinner at the Hotel
Ansley Thursday night—and that cov
ers everything.
Seventy-five members and their
guests sat down to the splendid feast,
roared with laughter at the “show,”
and cudgeled their brains competing
in the memory contest.
It was one of the Ad Club’s famous
“dollar dinners,” and there were manv
things that alone were worth the
money. There was the feed, there
was the dignified head waiter whe
signaled his hirelings with a lead pen
cil and frightened them out of their
wits; there was the “Great Karr.” a
female impersonator, who enlivened
things with several songs, and then
there was the memory contest.
The memory contest was one of the
cleverest stunts the fertile brains of
the club have ever conceived. Sec
tions of 35 well-known advertise
ments —some of them years old —w ere
flashed on the screen, each man was
given a blank sheet of paper, and the
problem was to guess the name of
the advertisers who have become fa
mous through the consistent use of
the same form of advertisement.
B. G. Fahy, of the Chamberlin
Johnson-Du Bose Company, won the
prize, a loving cup, guessing 20 out
of the 35. Several of the other mem
bers of the club guessed from ten t'
eighteen correctly. The test was of
the greatest interest, as showing how
easily even the most prominent ad
vertlslng is forgotten
