Nevertheless it is a) fine bit of phrase-making to catch: che popular fancy. It only serves to further stimulate those fond hopes and vague dreamings which all of us prefer to facing the cold, hard facts. The demand for “A Plan” seems to be based largely upon the fact that Soviet Russia has a widely-ad- vertised five-year-plan. After that, we are told, there will be a 10-year- plan, and after that another. The result, according to the Soviet dream- ‘ ers, will be a Utopia which few per- sons and few nations would be able to resist. If the fruit of the com- munistic tree is as pleasant to taste as the Soviet propaganda about it is to the casual ear, then indeed the world is headed straight for the adoption of the Russian idea. It will be a long time, however, be- fore that period arrives.

Movement of Grain Reports from the Red River Val- ley indicate that the movement of grain is only one-third what it is normally at this season. Some grain prices, but much is being kept on the farm for feed. This situation west, In many instances rye and barley were not threshed, the price not jus- tifying the cost of marketing. These grains have been cut for feed and doubtless at present prices the farm- ers will be better off than if they had threshed and marketed. Out of this necessity may come a greater crop diversification in this state. Wheat is not being used in quantities that once prevailed. Dur- ing the war, when wheat was con- served at home to supply the armies on the firing line, the American peo- ple and in fact the people of the world, turned to other foods. It has been estimated by some economists that the efforts during the war to discourage wheat con- sumption at home resulted in the falling off of some 150,000,000 bush- els annually in the wheat demand in the United States alone. To a lesser degree perhaps this is true throughout the world. Substitutes for wheat, urged dur- ing the war, were found satisfactory and the people have retained them in their daily diet. Farm economics are in for a thor- ough revamping before normal con- ditions are restored.

The president of a motor com} The very root of our unemploy- ment problem runs down to the unemployed dollar—the dollar that is afraid to venture forth, sometimes through fear of public opinion. ‘Why not put the unemployed dollar at work? It will, in turn, put men at work. Why fear to buy more than the necessaries of life because of what the butcher, the baker and the candlestick- maker may think or say? To buy today is a patriotic du- ty, not unlike that of the days when we bought Liberty bonds and won a war. We now have another war to win—the war against unemployment—and it is one that touches @ great many more directly and mere acutely than did the recent years of . strife. No one today can claim a medal for wearing patches when he can afford a new replacement. There are slackers in peace as well as slackers in war. ‘When the slacker dollar goes to work, men will go to work— and not before. The man who published that ad- vertising was urging that people buy new automobiles, and for those who need them and can afford them that is good advice. ‘But the same advice js good as to everything people use. Looking at the large numbers of People unempl , we forget the vastly larger numbers of people who are still at work. There are millions with steady jobs and steady incomes from investments who could, if they would spend more boldly, do more to restore prosperity and put idle men back at work than all the govern- ments and all the economists in the world. For those who can, buying as usual is as great a patriotic duty as it was to buy Liberty bonds in time of war, and it will do far more good to far more people. saa A quick-drying lacquer has been invented for wallpaper to ald in keep- ing it clean. dark for her to see his features but of course it was Mark.

There actually is a cliff-dwelling family live longer than another, Pro- fessor Raymond Pearl of the Sohus Hopkins university concluded thot as The human be- ing is conceived as an aggregation of matter that has the property of automatically changing food or en- ergy into heat, work, component mat- ter of itself, or waste. Obviously human beings are differently organ- ized and vary in the manner in which they utilize the products of the earth in sustaining life. The in- herent vitality is the total potential capacity of the organism to perform actions necessary to life. Of course, the more rapidly the person uses up his inherent vitality the more likely he is to die soon. This conclusion is of the utmost im- portance in considering a plan of life because it points definitely to the fact that the length of life de- pends inversely on the rate of liv- ing. With this fundamental premise in mind it is possible to formulate cer- tain factors that influence longev- ity. Sir William Osler said that much gepefds “on the quality of ar- terial tissué (vital rubber) which the individual has inherited.” Another way of saying the same thing was the famous proverb, “Man is as old as his arteries.” Today the main causes of death are related to the blood and its cir- culation.. Heart trouble causes one out of every seven deaths. Diseases of the kidney are responsible for 148 deaths of each 100,000 persons be- tween the ages of 45 and 64 years, and high blood pressure is given credit for 140 deaths in this group.
