Chairmen Hamilton and Farley are quite modest, neither having claimed more than 48 states so far. We still have a government of checks and balances, but the many government checks put all the balances in red. We get the idea that all boys who leave the old home town make good, be- cause we never read about those who fail. One sure way to financial success is not to buy on credit. It may be a hard rule to follow, but it will land you there some day. \ Asked by his landlady how he learned toleat corn.on the cob,so gracefully, a sum- mer boarder explained that he was a piccolo player. a n ert Presidential campaigns are not much different from village campaigns. You hear the same kind of attacks, whispers and suspicions. Don't fall out with your neighbor be- cause he fails to see politics like you do. Flatter yourself that you don’t fall for bunk, as he does, There are few men big enough not to like to lap up the compliments of their fel- lowmer, even when they. know they are being “fed” for a purpose. Work hard and you -will finally finish what you are trying to do. Wondering; whether you can accomplish the task will never get you anywhere or anything. We wonder what would come church-goer in Key West dropped a five dollar bill in the church collection platter next Sunday, or any Sunday, for that matter. Some people e on their conversa- sion and normal.” PROSPERITY, GOD—AND MR. BABSON “We are standing on the threshold of prosperity for the first says the honorable Roger W. Bab- on, business priest and student of eco- nomic statistics, Reading on we learn that “the mediate outlook is the brightest in years, barring those sections suffering from crop disaster” and that the nation “from March, 1933, to date, has coveréd 90 per cent of the distance between the pit of the. depres- time in seven years, im- In fact, July opened with business ac- tivity just 5 per cent under normal, cording to the Maxssachusett! ac- prognostica- tor, who declares that “every outstanding trade and industrial barometer is forecast- ing further gains in business this fall.” So much for the prospect of pros- perity. Let us call your attention again to; what Mr. Babson says about the duration of our good fortune, which “we may en- joy afew years.” Why a few years? Be- caus his words, “prosperity never lasts unless it goes hand in hand with righteous- ness."" Moreover, “permanent prosperity cannot be built on liquor, gambling and a disregard of God.” We have never been able to under- write Mr. Babson’s dope on business but he is planting his feet on solid stuff when he puts them on the rock of righteousness. Big business and little business men, who think of nothing but profits, do more harm to the nation’s welfare than all the poli- tical theorists that blight the land. Getting down to brass tacks the lesson for the average man and woman is to realize that an economy built on righteous- ness has no place in it for individuals who want to acquire fortunes through rackets, schemes and routes that do not give value for the money received. The man or wom- an, big or little in the eyes of any com- munity, who. tries to gel money without eatning it, is a positive enemy to the bet- terment of the nation, AN AIR FLIVVER Within five years a business man liv- ing in a distant suburb may board his one- passenger air flivver, fly to the city and alight on his office roof. Returning at night he may land in his own yard with ease and safety. Such is the prediction of conservative pilots and engineers. This‘may happen in less than five years if plans for the commercial manu- facture of the autogyro are carried out. In- vented by Juan de la Cierva, a Spaniard, the autogyro is fitted with an ordinary air- plane motor and propeller, but in addition has revolving wings in a sort of windmill arrangement which enables it to sustain itcelf in the air at slow speed, thus permit- ting it to rise or land in the space of an ordinary tennis court. The revolving wings are said to give the machine stability in flight, besides making a crash to earth almost impossible, even though the pilot should entirely lose control. It is declared that it ‘‘flies like an airplane but settles to earth like a parachute.” mans Saye An American company is perfecting a few new design for commercial produc- tion. If the claims of its promoters are! made good, tne autogyro may soon revolu- tionize short distance passenger traffic.

The develop- ment of big de- partment stores inthe large cities, and the extension of the chain store sys- tem furnish all the proof to the ignorant that is needed. The idea that big stores, medium size stores, and little stores may all live and prosper side by side ts given scant consideration. The idea empha- sized by the demagogue and the so- i clalist and the ignorant theorist is that there is a deadly struggle be- tween big business and little business, and that little business is helpless without all soris of centralized gov- ernmental control. When we turn from the visions and dreams of the socialist, and from the ings of the deme Zogue and the col- ge theorists to the real facts of our | retail business we find a condition radically different from that general- ty accepted as true, | -In 1929, 1.543,158 retail stores were | *@ operation its this country.

While there are large numbers of small independent retail stores in the big cities. the real home of the small independent store is in the small town The real menace to these independent stores is not monopoly. The monopoly danger is chiefly in the minds of the demagogues, and the ignorant crowds that listen to and follow the dema- Rogues. The real danger to the more than a million single independent re- F tail stores is the threatened regimen- — tation of all business by the Federal |g ridzy government. These small stores survive and pros- per because under the constitution they are free to adjust the services they give to the demands of the vary- ing communities. They are free to open and close their stores as they please. They are free to buy and sell their commodities. and to buy and sell services at the market prices fixed by the natural laws of demand and sup- ply. The restrictions of hours of labor. and the fixing of wages and conditions of services by the government, it is believed. would be most destructive t the small independent store. and would encourage the extension of the chain system.
