NUMBER 10 Aloslly a Alcntnl State The conditions prevailing at present in our country are what psychologists call a mental panic, and is likened to the story told about n perfect specimen of manhood who always boasted of not having been sick a day in hia life. His friends thought to play a practical joke and make him believe that ho was sick and by clover nrearranged cas ual remarks about how sick the man looked made the perfectly healthy man lay down in bed and call a physician to cure an imaginary sickness, which ex isted only in mind. The busi ness conditions in this country as sound as ever. Our Savings Banks never had more money than they have today. There is plenty of capital for every legit Imato enterprise. Our resources are bouiullosH, and are great unough.to give every inhabitant of these Unted States plenty of everything they need and still have enoutrh left to feed half of Europe.. We have helped other nations with sucii a lavtsn .mwiu during the War that we have become the 'greatest creditor nation the world has ever socn. Our dollar is at a premium ev erywhere, yet we nrc all scared into tho belief that a great panic is imminent and the result is that consumers rcfuBO to buy .from rctnilers.tho retailers from the wholesalers, tho wholesalers from tho mills, tho mills from their sources of raw matcrial-j, and so the vicious circle contin ues, everyone holding back to buy necessary things andallow ing n perfectly sound economic condition to become sick and panicky through a mental condi tion. All that is necessary now to return to normal conditions is for buyers to end their strike and resume buying at the deflat ed ptices, at which goods aro bjing olfered by manufacturers nnd dealers who have taken sub atuntial losses on their stock, bought at considerably higher prices than they aro olTcring it for salo at present. Marcus Al ter. A Novel Idea Home building by life insur ance companies, under a policy system of protection, was pro posed in a bill introduced in the Wisconsin senate by Senator George Skogmo of River Falls. The1 plan is Bald to bo one of the most novel advanced to relieve the housing shortage and encour age homo owning. The bill would permit life insurance com panies to invest their assets' in city building lots and erect homes against which mortgages up to 75 per cent of the value of the improvement could be carried. A home purchasor would be required to carry a life insurance policy equal to the purchase price of his home, and in the event of his death beforo all installments on the house wore paid the company would subtract from the policy pay ments the unpaid balance, thus insuring the company against loss. Payments on the homes would bo at the rate of 1 per cent a month, or $50 on a $5000 home, for example. Six per cent interest on the indebtedness would be substractcd from the monthly payments and tho bat ance applied against the debt. Gave a Farewell Dance Enjoyable Dancing Party A young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Olson, of Marsh field, met with a peculiar acci dent, which will disflguro her for life. The child was playing nbout the Olson premises and was at tacked by a largo rooster, which seemed to dipputo her right in the yard. With his spurs nnd bonk ho tore tho child's cheek so badly that a number of stitches had to be used by the doctor who attended her to c!os tho wound. Tho girl was rescued from the rooster's on slaught by her mother, who. hearing her cries, beat tho fowl off.
