How it tufi¥a°out for its operator will amaze many. Bla i Spectacular ‘success appeals to the public imag- ination, sinks indelibly into memory. Too bad, | the public doesn’t continue watching the gambling | succes ‘anti it collapses. It might*teach:many a valuable leSsoy, es i be cas Joe Leiter is recdgnizéd as about as good a grain | operator as ever lived. He was what business | writers call an “expert.” The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Gambling in stocks and grains—that is, plung- | ing in speculation — gets them all. It’s only aj matter of time. : It gets you faster if you are an outsider, a financial moth. ° A good many people watch the stock market as “a barometer of general conditions.” Many be- lieve that the stock market is a sort of supernat- ural ouija board with clairvoyant powers that for-| see the future accurately. The market is supposed to go up or down about three'to five months ahead of general business. § This supposition is based on the fact that ticker quotations—when the market isn’t.a professional “one, mariipulated to“attract the cériie-ons—show how the big gamblers are betting. The epidemic of failures among brokerage houses reveals that, in the long run and on the law| of averages the gambler’s guess is worth just about as much as the sheep’s—no more.’ ' The only real barometer of business conditions is production—such as output of steel ingots, bituminous coal, grain movement to primary cen- ters, exports, domestic cotton consumption and mail order sales. ¥ The Wall Street Journal says a speculative craze is developing. The brighter the flame, the hotter and more scorching. Small investors, who cannot afford to Jose, had better keep their money in Liberty bonds.’ ‘THE JOBLESS Seven hundred thousand former soldiers and sailors‘are out-of: work in the country; reports the merican, Yegipn. .-.-.., { : » A 30-days’ national campaign is on, to provide jobs for these unfortunate veterans. Permanent sitions or odd jobs will be welcome, jin this connection, the annual “clean up and/ paint up” campaign has started. eoil The smallest job looks as welcome.as a.moun-) tain during a cloudhyyst, to the man out. of work. ” { i TRADE IN IVORY : Do you own anything made of ivory? If so, it! probably ‘passed through the Antwerp or Lon-| don ivory markets during its long chain of sales | between elephant killer-and ultimate consumer. A check-up shows that these two markets last | year handled less than half as much ivory as in| 1913. ‘ ¢ 4 Hard times have been world-wide. Every hu-| man on earth has suffered, more or less. ments to the heart of jungles. None small enough to slip through the net. It is the price of war. ! DREAMLAND : \ An argument has broken out among England’s _ big writers, whether prohibition will curb the out- put of great literature. | Some of the New York magazine editors ex-| pressed the same fear when the country went dry. There’s a popular belief that writers have to be full of whiskey or opium to turn out masterpieces. It is pointed out that many of history’s greatest | literary men were drunkards or dope fiends. “lof clever selling schéities to induce people to buy. 00,tpought as a speculation—is giving each customer jhorses for every man, woman and child. ‘|emperor buried near the mine. \coal. iternational: trade, is the supplying’ of food and Hard | because our spiritual purposes are given effect times have extended from the seats of govern-|by the thinking done in the brain which directs ‘cowardice a matter of physiology and not of men- jadrenal glands cease their secretion when danger) : 4 j up am habitual, steady and self-sacri- FAMINE IN RUSSIA \ The latest famine in Russia has affected 25,- 000,000, people, according to soviet publications. | That’s about ‘the same number as were affected| by the Russian famines of 1911 and 1906, and a third more than by the crop failure of 1891. When all’s said and done, food is what counts most. In varying degrees,, everything else is ex- cess baggage. Anything done to help the farmer helps every one eventually. CLEVER SELLING PLANS Man’s brain is amazingly resourceful when necessity compels.

Will gain rapid head- way, for a speculative wave is reappearing as busi- ness slowly revives. HORSES Some one with a pocketful of sharp pencils has just figured out thatthe autos used in our coun- try have a power equivalent to more than: 300,- 000,000 horses. Or, in round numbers, three This shows how machinery concentrajeq and. multiplies human energy, in production. tes) In many commodities, the introduction} of ma- chinery has not lowered. price much in the long run. But it has multiplied the commodities avail- able for the average person——increased the stand- atd of living. Fah y jest GHOST THEORY EXPLODED; worked for 300 years, because the Chinese didn’t want to disturb the spirit of Tai Tsu Kao, Manchu That bit of superstition for three centuries has kept undeveloped a seam of 1,000,000,000 tons of Japanese forcibly opened the -mine, started it producing. Chinese predicted earthquakes and other dire results. Now they notice that nothing unusual is being started by the ghost of the old emperor, and are flocking to get jobs at the mine. The things we dread nearly always turn out to be non-existent bogies when tackled with courage —especially work. FOOD EXPORTS More wheat was exported from America in 1921 than in any previous year. Corn exports. were; the largest singe 1910... This. is shown by final government figures, just announced. The fundamental purpose of our country, in in- raw materials to countries which, on account of dense population and small territory, are fitted only to produce finished goods. L Farmers need not worry about export market for their products. _ It will always be waiting. Prices will adjust themselves to fair levels. Need is for bigger and bigger crops. SURPLUS OF CORN Farmers still. have a bothersome surplus of corn on hand—about 1,313,120,000 bushels. But farm holdings of corn are ; 251,712,000 bushels less than a year ago. The corn problem grows smaller. In four months the farmers have marketed 2,026,437,000 bushels. Prices’ have been low, but the big sales of corn have’ helfed Tiqhidate debts and stimulated the corn grower’s buying power,’ For general business, this is equivalent to ‘a transfusion of blood. .
