Most every day we see where sow* one has a cure fo r the panic, Someone else suggests smiles to sure the blues, Trying to make ourselves believe we are not in the situation w* are only keep# us in a stage of affliction of intermittent fever. Better soma days and w o rn others. Recognition of our economic trouble* and keeping oar finances in line with the situation, will in the end bring permanent reHef, but like the fever i t cannot be cured in a day. A good review of our trouble is expressed editorially by Miss Emily yfocdward, a Georgia news* paper publisher as follows; The world chaos that gains impetus with every rising sun has reached a critical point in these United States, A country and a government that have been held up as examples of progress and glorious democracy are floundering in a sea of unrest, rebellion, crime and misery. In this hour, when problem# p£ supreme importance confront, us, it is interesting to observe the censorious spirit that dominates' the min® of man. Every fellow is disposed to blame Some one else fo r all the ills to which he has become heir. The gov­ ernment, the trusts, the war, prohibition, automobiles, the newspapers and chain storees, the republicans, the democrats and the tariff—these and other forces are called into account for afflicting ms with low priced cotton and wheat, shrinkage in property values, loss of credit, threatened”bankruptcy and ail the other evils th a t beset us, Seldom, if ever, is there heard in the chorus of denunciations, one word of self directed blame, but whether we are willing to admit or not, ou r troubles are, in part, a t least, self-made. A people, for the moBt part accustomed to living moderately and even frugally prior to the war; we launched~into an orgy of spending such as has never been known, in the history of man. Although endowed with- a modicum of reasoning power, we have deliberately thrown, discretion to the winds chang­ ing pur standards of living from quiet simplicity, to frenzied luxury. Bquip- - ped^with^ufflcientTnathematicaf knowledgeto knovrthat f ow f rsm two'leaves minus two, men and Women with incomes- of $200.00--* month have spent a t the ra te of $400.00. This has applied quite generally whether the income has been $ 20,00 or $2500-00. r Farming and Other businesses are more or less demoralized, bu t it is not clue altogether to 5 cent cotton and the tariff. It is due in p a rt to^our - waste, abuse of credit, poor business management, and laziness, Before we‘see the end of thy^many of us who are now riding may be walking, bu t th a t probably would be as it should be. The men and women who honestly work their waiys out of the present economic labyrinth will he those possessed'of the proper intestinal stamina. For some time now; we have needed something to divide the sheep from the goats. Crooks and deadbeats have been sailing”along in the vanguard of society and the church, enjoying all the privileges and often more than those who make up the ranks of honest citizenry. I f the present crisis Berves as a leveler in the business and social realms, much will be gained. The seeming success of the dishonest during the reign of extravagance through which we have just passed, has had a bane­ ful effect, serving to give sanction to the theory th a t the way to win is through shady paths, I f it serves to make us a little more concerned about the quality of the men who are entrusted with our governmental affairs, it will be well worth living through. As it is and has been, our most responsible trusts are often .given to men who could hot make a living for themselves in any other than political fields. There is really a great deal about, our present status to give us urge to go forward and cheer in the hope that in going forward much has been un wholesome Will be left in the discard.—Miss Emily Woodward, News, Vienna, Georgia. ~ ^ • liUniiaMM The Federal Farm Board, the one collosal failure of the age,.is in fo r a heated contest when Congress meets, The board was constituted as a. means of aiding in maintaining gram prices as well as prices of cotton. Since it lias been in operation grain prices fell to new low levels. Cotton did not bet­ ter, In the meantime the hoard has squandered $117,000,000 of govern* ment funds. But the critics of the Farm Board have more to say than heaping abuse on the board for the ruination of market prices. In the organization of the Grain Stabiliza- ion Corp, some fancy salaries haye been paid. One official has been draw- ng a salary of $75,000 a year, what menay most be bag* mt wwrit to pay tb* depositor hi* tatomst. Wa have again voadaod the time o f,] the year when Christmas Savings'! check* wifi be mailed out to several million people in this country. The amount this year I* said to be'greater than in years past. I t should be still greeter nex t year. The payment of sevenM million dollars ibis month in the form of Christines savings will naturally stimulate business, a t least fo r a time. Under present economic conditions these millions of recipients will have funds for Holiday shopping that probably would not have been saved during the year, other than by this method. I t will come a t a time when taxes mutt he paid. Probably coal bills or some Other necessity a- bout the home. The savings plan fo r small amounts is worthwhile and one or more such accounts should be in each and every home.

The: new tax law 'gives’this power to the State Board! but the day it selects must be. kept secret until after the rime so fixed. The idea was* to .fix a dpad line that- was unknown to the people so that deposits Could not be withdrawn, from financial institutions. The law hps little meaning to the av­ erage depositor, for as we understand it most financial institutions will pay ;he tax. From'another angle the law has little meaning this year. Due to the financial situation, fCw people could withdraw funds in-any^amoitot from the building and loan associa­ tions, as most all of such institution* in dhio have been operating under this restricted withdrawal allowance, This has been a great protection to all building and loans, which cannot be It is almost certain th a t Xenia wil, succeed in recruiting Company L of the O.
