Economic Highlights
At Home and Abroad
Happenings that affect the din
ner pails, dividend checks and
tax bills of every individual.
National and international prob
lems inseparable from local wel
fare.
Current business developments
have given cause for encourage
ment, according to most of the
leading trade reviews. The per
iod of readjustment now
way offers increasing evidence
that business is gradually re
covering from its worst phases,
and that, even though there have
been no outstanding gains, in
fluences toward further reces
sion are meeting sturdy opposi
tion. R. G. Dun and Co. ob
serves that too much attention is
being focused on catastrophes
and not enough on the founda
tion that is being built steadily
and quietly by those with pa
tience, fortitude and faith in the
future. Particularly encourag
ing is the fact that manufactur
ers, wholesalers and retailers
in general have cleaned out most
of their old stocks, made heavy
cuts in inventories, increased
operating economy, and
built up sizable cash reserves.
The recent report of the Tim
ber Conservation Board to Sec
retary of Commerce Chapin,
forectsts that the lumber indus
try may be expected to improve
during the present year.
importance of the forecast may
be measured by the fact that
lumber is an eight-biliion-dollar
basic industry, and that in nor
mal years it employs more peo
ple than any other industry, in
eleven states. The industry has
made a remarkable record in
holding down output and reduc
ing inventories. Where demand
in 1007 w r as for 47 billion feet, it
fell to 12 billion feet last year,
At the moment demand is run
ning slightly ahead of produc
tion. A paramount difficulty of
the industry is taxation. A num
ber of major lumber states tax
standing timber, thus confiscat
ing its entire value in a few
years, which forces wasteful
cutting to escape such a penalty.

Debate between foreign and
American shipowners over U. S.
Government subsidies to the
merchant marine, grows more
intense. Latest foreign blast
came from President of the Brit
ish Board of Trade, who said
that many of the misfortunes of
American cargo fleets were due
to overbuilding, which was stim
ulated by “uneconomic sub
sidies.” Secretary of the Amer
ican Shipowners’ Association
offered a vigorous denial. He
said the U. S. has launched less
tonnage than any of the other
great powers during the last five
years, and that we led the
world in scrapping obselete ves
sels. It is generally held by the
shipping industry that federal
snbsidies—which take the form
of mail contracts—are essential
to meeting foreign competition.
Prices of farm products are
holding their own. This was
partly due to cold weather which
reduced market supplies and
strengthened demand. Advances
have recently been registered by
grain, cotton, hogs, veal calves,
butter and eggs. The vegetable
market likewise improved be
cause of freezing damage in the
South. During the first five
months of the current season,
world consumption of cotton
totaled 9.9 million bales as com
pared with 9.7 million and 9.1
million, respectively, in the same
period in the two preceding
years.

tries show:

T BE advent of the lenten season

housewife who prides herself on keep
ing her family pleased by the variety
of her foods Not only are most fresh
fruits and vegetables out of season
but lenten limitations call for a less
frequent reliance on meat dfshes. In
many plasea obtaining fresh fish Is
not a solution but just another prob
lem.
However, you can always get sal
mon or tuna at the nearest grocery
store and so many new and Interesting
ways of preparing them have been
found that the housewife whe likes
cooking can enter into a new field of

The Child Reader
i MARJORIE BARROWS
\ Editor, Child Ufa Macula*.*
One afternoon many years ago •
wharf rat on San Francisco Bay wan
dered Into the Oak
land Public Library.
i: There, opening a
bound volume of
a children’s mag
azine, he stumbled
upon a story. It
mm was a story about
a boy like hlitfself
1 —a runaway, leader of a
gang

M had certain seml

tures, but who, aft
Marjorie Barrows er a hard lesson,

ways of living Ms life.
Making of Jack London. awoke
The dramatic, exciting story
in the young reader the uneasy con
sciousness of his own wrong actions.
He walked out of that library resolv
ing to lead Just as adventurous a Ufa
but one that carried with It a clear
conscience. So he Joined the Fish Pa
trol, cruised about the bay, fought
poachers, and before long begaD to
write stories about his adventures.
That boy was Jack London. The
experience of this famous writer oc
curs, In a rather less dramatic fash
ion, In the life of every boy or girl.
Careful Investigators have discov
ered that next to persons, nothing has
more Influence on children than what
they read. If a hero they admire acta
under certain circumstances as they
themselves would like to act, they’ll
remember It.
They Imitate the Hero.
And when the time comes, they’ll
unconsciously be Influenced by that
hero's action and try to do likewise.
The heroine’s kindness, ambition,
steadfastness, loyalty, the hero’s re
sourcefulness, quick-wittedness, pains
taking qualities, courage, magnamlnltjr,
modesty—all these examples “sink In”
and are emulated both now and later.
One story with hidden character-build
ing values Is worth a dozen sermons
from parents or teachers.
Let us try to see that this sort of a
story, full of plenty of adventure for
the boy, full of Interesting plots and
characters for the girl. Is convenient
for them to pick up.
Jack London Isn't the only one to be
tremendously Influenced by the printed
word.

SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR
Abolish State Senate
Says L T. McCoy
Dear Clipper:—I have read so
much about the depression and
hard times that 1 want in my fee
ble way to give iny thoughts
about what we need.
The farmers, bankers, mer
chants and railroad companies
are all going broke just because
in place of doing right we are
trying to down the other fellow.
In drastic times we need drastic
remedies, and we need just a few
statesmen like the Hon. Thomas
E. Watson and Hon. Eugene Tal
madge, men that can read the
hand-writing on the wall and
w ith a backbone as large as a tel
egraph pole. We don’t need a
sales tax, neither do we need
beer. Why rob Peter to pay
Paul?
If I was a member of the
House I’d introduce a bill to cut
all salaries 50 per cent from the
Supreme Court Judges to school
teachers, reduce taxes 50 per
cent and let it apply to all alike.
I also would introduce a bill to
do away with the state senate
and the fish and game laws and
a whole lot ol others that are no
good. T he senate, no doubt,
was created for a good purpose,
but it has come to the place that
no one ______j” can get there hardly ex
cept ___, through „__. some hy-fulutmg -
lawyer, and they can t agree on
nothing — just another block in
the way. That is one reason
God said, “Woe unto you law
yers.” Do not understand me
to be against any good, honest
lawyer, for I’m not, hut this
wrangling and pulling ought to
be slopped. When the country
is drowning it ndeds help—in
•tod pf enough b e „ „e need bread and
money to do tbr bast-'
ness of the country. How any
Christian man or woman that
has any foretaste of the Sa
viour who died for us and real
izing at the same time that He
is looking right down at US, can
say they favor whisky is beyond
my ability to understand. With
all of its filth it is had enough
now. We have already enough
boys in the chamgang and girls
in the asylums and reformato
ries. Why it will paralyze the
brain and make men and women
do things that they would not do
tor anything without it. It will
take the bread out of the chil
drens mouths, clothes off their
hacks, shoes off their feet, and
at last land all in hell who stand
for it. For Christ said, “Suffer
the little children to come unto
me,” and instead of teaching
them drinking and telling lies,
or stories, as they call them
now, we should teach them to
tell the truth like George Wash
ington.
f was in police court last Tues
day and the officer brought in a
very nice looking man up to the
bar of justice and his wife came
with him. The Judge asked her
if she wanted to testify against
her husband. She said, “Judge,
I have stood it as long as I can.
There will have to be something
done. When he is sober he is
alright, but when he is drinking
he is mean to me and the chil
dren. He came in drinking Sat

urday night while I was cooking
supper and knocked me up
against the hot stove and cursed

Judge gave him the limit.
Just another thought and I’ll
he through for this time. Had
you ever thought about .1 in this
grand old country of ours if a
man tells the truth he loses his
job? I think the legislature
should thoroughly investigate,
and if they find that Mr. Adams
authorized Mr. Rountree to do
what is reported, they should let
Mr. Adams lose his job, as he
was taking all the advantage of
the others who ran against him,
and give Mr. Talmadge a chance
to appoint Mr. J. W. Whiteley to
the place. A man that stands
four-square and totes fair and
will do what he believes to he
right and to the best interest of
all the people regardless of what
others may think about it.
Respectfully,
L. T. McCoy, a farmer.
