LIVE AND LEARN
I t ’s been a long time since most of
us were getting a title hila ious ab
out the depression and swapping sto
ries about who suffered the most.
But that’s about the way a lot of us
acted when the ‘29 prosperity bubble
broke and took all our pretty paper
profits away.
We’ve learned plenty since then.
We’ve learned that if we ever get
another chance we’ll save. Boy, how
we’ll save! No more stocks oon mar
gin. No more automobiles for every
one in the family. If the kids can’t
use poppa’s car they can do without.
We”ll buy no more houses in the
hope of paying for them when our
truckload of money pulls up to the
door next week. We’ll go easy on fur
coats and diamond rings and all the
little trinkets we brot home as a
little “before supper” surprise for
ma.
»>
We’re all going to save for that
rainy day that’s going to come. For
if we haven’t learned anything else,
we’ve learned the rainy day stret
ches into a long monotonous driz
zle with mighty few clouds breaking
thru.
The clouds are scattering now. Ev
ery time a new defense order barges
out of Washington another cloud
breaks and lets a little more slip
thru. There’s a boom on its way and
it’s going to hit here any day. Al
ready some of the industrial towns
have the look of a good healthy gold
rush on the loose, and the boom is
spreading.
Well when it gets here we’ll wel
come the little stranger, welcome him
with a few minor reservations. We’ve
seen his kind before. He’s nice com
pany, very entertaining, the life of

the party. But when fie goes hi
leaves the world’s worst hangover.
We’re ready for this boom fellow.
We’ve been toughened by two many
long bitter years not to know what
to do when he gets here. They call us
“Scrooge” or "Midas”, "Miser” or
“Stingy” but when this fellow leuve.-
we’re going to be sitting pretty.
We’ll save every extra cent that
comes along because we know that a
dollar in the sock is worth ten on
paper. And how we know it.
But while we’re waiting we’vO
been looking around. And there are
a few little things we want to buy.
And “Consolidated Mazuma” looks
like it’s due for a rise, we might take
a flier in that. And nia’s been talking
about a couple of new dresses. And
maybe the kids do need a car of their
own, why everybody used to have 9
home. But after that we’ll put our
foot down. We’re going to save, save,
save.
There’s just a few little things we
want to buy first, just a few.

GOOD NEWS
Farm prices ac -ording to the lut-
est information issued by the United
States department of agriculture in
mid-December averaged 101 percent
of the 1910-1914 level further de
creasing the spread between prices
paid and prices received by the far
mer. Also farm pioduct prices were
relatively stable during 1940. That
is good for agriculture. The Ameri
can farmers has steadily improved his
position in spite of chaotic conditions
over most of the world. A large share
of the credit for this must go to the
farmer himself.
He has not let government farm
aid deaden his resourcefulness. Fed
eral money has not blinded him to
the fact that in the long run he will
sink or swim,, depending upon his
own initiative. He has steadily sought
to improve production and marketing
techniques.
In the latter respect the farmer-
owned marketing cooperatives arc
becoming a national instiution. They
have demonstrated their strength and,
soundness over many years. The far
mer would be lost without them in
the business world of today.

causes of fire. Your town has an ex
pel t mechanic who can examine yours
and make certain if is safe and effi
cient. Exposed electric wiring is still
another major hazard, and again an
expert mechanic, thru periodic check
ups can make it safe. Improper stor
age of paints, cleaning fluids and ot
her inflamables is a thiid great ha
zard, a hazaid which will disappeai
if you see to it that the liquids are
kept in air-tight containers. Accumu
lations of papers, magazines, old
clothes and similar junk is a fourth
hazard, all you have to do is call
the rags.bottles-and-sacks vendor.
If you live in the desert far from
other habitation in a mud house and
depend upon the sun for heat, don’t
worry about fire. But if you live
elsewhere start to work banishing the
hazards now.
