If one isn’t disposed to talk about what he has given he’ is quite willing to turn the spotlight upon what he has received. In no home are the joy-bring- ting gifts hidden beneath the proverbial bushel basket. Indeed, the very best in the whole house is made a showroom for the proper display of these ns of remembrance. And you are glad to have them to show, for they —————————}|Mean, not so much that you have added to your Home:: | stock of worldly goods, but that you are honored BREW . much to man, or woman. Naturally, too, your mind will dwell upon gifts you have |made. And here, too, your thoughts will run along the ‘friendly path. You will be glad to think that your gift is so highly appreciated because you gave it, rather than for its material value.

Indeed, all these gifts cost so little that even the poorest of men can afford to be quite {liberal with them. Why not give them? You may be certain that the gift of a smile will be ap- preciated today, tomorrow, any day. It will be a gift wel- come to young and old, rich and poor. Also, and this is im- portant to the giver, it will leave as warm a glow in your heart as it brings to the other. \ Gwrrol!

Sounds paradoxical—but it is one of the economic factors now playing a part in the retrograde movement shown by prices in general. And it is sifaply based on an old human, fundamental law. If any article increases in value, naturally men will try to produce more of that article. And, finally, as production grows the supply lncreases—-and hence the value falls. Anything that is very plentiful is not very valuable. For several years America has been producing at tremendous speed for a vastly-broadened market. Production has attained new high marks—tut now exporta are declining, for the rest of the world is recovering and speeding up its own production. This condition is an- other factor bringing pressure to bear on high prices. The old law of supply and demand, on which these conditions are based, is not dead, even tho it has been badly battered for several years by abnormal! conditions. There is another fundamental taw affecting the sftuation. Prople don’t buy as heavily on a falling market as they do on a rising market.
