DEPRESSION PROSPERITY is up for election, running to overthrow DEPRESSION. It’s for the people to decide which | be chosen. Every man and ev- y woman is privileged to ballot— very day. DEPRESSION has nc rightful place h a hundred and twenty million people, exchanging goods and service- es—capable—accustomed and willing to work—more highly skilled than oth- er peoples—Ileaders in efficiency and _progressiveness—backed by the vast natural resources of the United States. When we make it possible for the man who works to have a job we ke it possible for him to buy food . his family and so help all busin- ss, including that of the farmer. “The rest of the world is of small mportance compared with that free arket of 120,000800 people—homo- geneous—of like tastes, habits and as- pirations—living under the same laws —free of trade barriers. Foreign trade may be troubled by tariffs and volutions, but at their peak our ex- orts represented only five and a half billions of dollars of gross business in a year out of a total American in- some of ninety billions. > Saignation of circulation is what's e matter with agriculture and with siness. Everyone can help to get thay circulation moving again. Government can’t make Proseperity —alone. Bankers and other busin- ‘ess leaders can’t make Prosperity— Jone.

For example: _ «Help a deserving man or a wo- ‘man to get a little paying work— or, better, a regular job. Spend wisely and not too tim~. idly, and anticipate scheduled ex- penditures so far as is practica- ble. : Turn the deaf ear to false, mis- chievous rumors; and don’t repeat them, if you do hear them. Be willing to pay a fair price. Don’t take advantage of the other man’s necessity. ~ Recognize that he has as good claim to a fair profit as you.

It was the source of the great part of the wealth ‘of the early Colonists. Beaver fur, it was soon discovered, ‘made a better felt than wool or any of the other readily obtainable furs. We speak today of the tall silk hat of fashion as a “beaver’, but it 1s mere- ly a remote descendant of the fashion- able beaver-fur hats of the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries.- An immense commerce between the Old World and the New was built up on ‘beaver furs as the principal export from this side, and beaver fur, now mainly obtained from Canadian sourc- es, is still one of the most highly priz- ed pelts. .

They proceed- ed to build their houses there and to construct the dam just where it was needed. Although no longer an im- portant item in commerce, the beaver is still useful. % wn AIRPLANES FOR the first time since flying was invented, anybody can now buy a serviceable, up to date plane, complete with engine and all necessary equip- ment, for less than $1,000. That does not mean, however, that flying is about to become as popular as motoring. For one thing, an air- plane still needs a lot of room from which to take off and land in; it is not adapted to the use of the city dweller. Parking space for airplanes is not easily found. ; : Nevertheless, young folk are prac- ticing flying in increasing numbers and planes are being steadily improved as to stability and durability in the air. Thousands of more lives will be sac- rificed before the safe airplane is per- fected, but it is safe to say that in another fifty years the air will have lost most of its danger.
