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

dent, which will disflguro her for

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.
