Money With Wings
According' to .stuLitica from Indus
trial sources ninety per cent of the
men who made large war profits have
lost not only what they made but their
original fortunes ulong with the earn
ings. This has occurred in but a very few
years after the war, indicating that
money does posses wings, especially
when the money is made fast itnu
easily.
Just how accurate these statistics
aro the Observer cannot say, but in
all probability they aro correct, or
nearly so. In the northwest there
are instances well known where men
nuido over a million dollars during
war times and in practically every in
stance these same men arc financial
ly in a bad way today.
The old law of average holds good
in this as in everything else., Men
riM!, flourish and sink again. The
do ft commeicially and socially' and
as old Jay Gould said after making j
his millions nnd death was hovering
over him ,"WhatR it all about?"
Dut the war with its horrors and
profiteers and easy fortunes has left
a lesson. Wen who workeii hard to
pila up wealth in years gone by are in
many instances not coing so now. They
have come to the realization that the
game is not worth the candle, or in
other words, 'What's it all about?''

Looks Dubious for Overhead
Somehow, the signs do not look
good for that overhead crossing at
Oro Dell nrd tlu scenic liighwa)
around the hill. It Ikis had vaiinu-'
phases of success and r.-iilnre, but nt
present to one who tries to view the
matter fairly and impartially, there
is not much chance for that overhead
crossing.
riainly slated, tlio.ro do not seem
to be the fun in with which to buibl it,
and for some reason roads and over
heads cannot be built without funds.
