Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON i nin Grundy Sneer Gains Ridicule Senator Grundy has the narrow mind of the man who knows one prosy subject and has contempt for all others. He exhibited this in statements a year ago, in which he made an estimate of Herbert Hoover that was thoroughly compatible with the obscurity of vision one might expect from a mole burrowing in the subterranean depths of tariff intrigue. According to Grundy a year ago, Mr. Hoover “doesn’t know anything at all from experience what legislation means. He yever even ran for dog catcher,” he added. ‘This wasn't an opinion, it was just @ plain sneer, when ‘one considers what activities of world-wide scale Herbert Hoover had been engaged in almost ever since the World war started. It assuredly could not mean that Mr. Grundy knew more from experience than the man who conducted the immense activities of Belgian relief. The administration of that philanthropy certainly was cal- culated to develop a mind more capable of illuminating big domestic and international problems than the intel- ligence of a small town yarn mill owner, whose only other hobby besides the tariff was campaign “fat frying.” Perhaps Senator Grundy has better hindsight than Mr. Grundy, the mill owner of a year ago, possessed. If he has, he must since have been impressed by the per- spieacity the president has shown in his messages to congress, calling for the enactment of the farm relief and tariff revision programs in favor of agriculture. These have shown a wonderful grasp of conditions and abil- ity to lay them before the national lawmakers for remedial action. Then, too, the aptitude shown by the president in call- ing together the leaders of big public utilities and of big business in general, to stabilize the shaky conditions that grew out of the psychological reaction to the recent stock market debacle ought to impress Senator Grundy. In fact, the feeling is that in the resurrection of the opinions of Mr. Grundy a year ago, the end aimed at ts; not so much to show the hostility of Grundy to the presi- Gent as to hold the Pennsylvanian up to the ridicule his absurd comment must naturally merit. Grundy may flat- ter himself that he has greater grasp of legislative tech- nique than the president, but he must not forget that what he knows of the subject is the somewhat dubious prestige gained from the sinister art of lobbying. waoeron Site dard & PAdtmnadsnean toneme Ob robMmaH 2 A Nebraska’s Example for North Dakota A good deal of thought has been given, of late, to forestation in North Dakota. In view of what has been accomplished in experiments at the Northern Great Plains experiment station at Man- dan and at the state forestry school at Bottineau, the example of Nebraska foresting on a big scale might be something in the steps of which this state might be able to follow with good results. Nebraska has reclaimed its barren sand hills or in is in Course of reclaiming them by plgyting trees. J. G. Allen, director of information serv: Nebraska, has been ‘writing about this project. He says the transformation of Nebraska from a prairie and sandhill state, with much barren land, has come about through the us: of nature's own weapon of progress—forestation. The pioneers who first came to the state picked the lands along the water Courses as most fertile and affording shelter, fuel and (water. Later they learned that the bench and table lands were Just as good, if not better, and when planted with tim- ber soon became changed in character and of steadily 4mcreasing value. That same practice, but on a larger scale, was adapted to the sandhills when the Nebraska forest reserve was created in Nebrasks by President _ Roosevelt in 1902, ‘Two forested areas in the state have a combined acre- ‘gge of 206,026 acres which formerly were entirely without frees. In fact, in places overgrazing had virtually de- muded the soil of its only vegetation, the sandhill grasses and weeds. ‘The first planting of trees took place in 1903 when 70,000 jack pine, pulled in the forests of Minnesota, and 20,000 western yellow pine seedlings from the Black Hills ‘were planted in one division. Since that time 12,000 acres fave been successfully planted. ‘The same year that the planting was started a nursery awa MR A nate ee ginning this nursery has increased in annual production from a few thousand seedlings to the present capacity of 9,000,000 transplants. ‘The greater portion of the output is planted directly on the national forest land and no small portion is being furnished to the state extension department of the Uni- Yersity of Nebraska for distribution to farmers who are {interested in planting windbreaks or wood lots. ‘The older trees in the Bessey reserve have now reached jan empty victory, but it was a glorious one in the estl- for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or | | made itself heard at last. {was established near Halsey.

They promptly charged into the group, clubs swinging. ‘When the smoke cleared away, ten people were in necd of hospital attention—including a well-to-do business man who happened to be passing, and a newspaper re- Porter, both of whom had been indiscriminately club- bed by the over-enthusiastic police. . ‘The whole business, perhaps, isn't very important, at this distance; yet New York has furnished us with an excellent example of the wrong way to deal with an af- fair of this kind. Dumb brutality is the worst of weap- ons with which to fight communism. The utter senseless- ness of the activity of the police in this instance needs little comment. On the Finance Committee Senator Bob La Follette, the youngest senator since Henry Clay, has won new spurs in his battle for a seat) upon the powerful senate finance committee. It may be mation of the young guard of insurgents who urge party regularity at times as vigorously as they disregard party ties at others. In this instance, the insurgents who form coalitions with the Democrats to defeat party measures, stood pat upon the rules and precedents of party regular- ity. And the comedy of comedies is they wont But that is not all that happened. Senator Hastings, of Delaware, went on the interstate commerce committee. i Thet insurgent colleague of “Young Bob,” Senator Blaine, elbowed his way to the committee on banking and currency as well as to the committee on elections. Well, the West should worry if its men get on import- ant committees. The “growling West” seems to have Working for a Recovery | Pointing out that the month of January has been| marked by @ continuation of the business recession that began late last year, the Business Conditions Weekly of the Alexander Hamilton Institute asserts that this re- adjustment must eventually cause a strong business rec- overy. “The current curtailment of manufacturing,” it points out, “is reducing the surplus of goods produced last year. This curtailment will eventually lead to a shortage which will stimulate renewed demand and a consequent rec- overy in industrial activity. The present reduction in| the volume of business is replenishing the supply of lonable funds. Interest rates are showing a downward trend while bond prices are working upward. “By the time a shortage of goods stimulates a renewal of consumer buying, an abundant supply of credit will be available to support a healthy expansion of business. All in all, it is becoming more and more evident that the much-feared “depression” that was to have followed the stock market debacle is not going to materialize. The future is not as dark as some of us feared two months ago. In these sub-zero days it is impossible to get “het up” over political stories. North Dakota slate makers had better wait until the meadow larks begin to chirp.

(Outlook and Independent) “The average American woman has sixteen square feet of skin.” With these words Paul W. White of the Unit- ed Press begins an article on “Our Booming Beauty Business,” a business which represents @ yearly expen- diture of at least $2,000,000,000, a sum that exceeds the budget of half a dozen states and is a thousand times greater than the government's peace-time outlay for gunpowder and ammunition. Considering the comparatively small amount of epider- mis publically displayed by women, such a figure is stag- gering. Apparently the end is no where in sight, for the manufacturers of preparations and the purveyors of treatments, being well aware that never before have American women had so much money to spend on them- selves, are successfully calling upon Industry's twin gods, Publicity and Advertising, to increase consumption by all the artifices so well known to these modegn divinities. Through associations with imposing titles and a dozen trade journals the cult of beauty is extolled for the benefit of retailers who eagerly absorb suggestions for increasing patronage. Mr. White quotes an accredited member of one asso- ciation as saying that “At least $307 must be spent every woman every year to keep fit.” And a lene ie of essentials follow, ranging from permanent waves jars in a by of muscle oil, The irreducible minimum of $307.25 must make pleasant reading for $20 a week file clerks. In 1928 national advertising of beauty magazines was the third largest in volume, towing disbursement of over $16,000,000.
