A chart prepared by Col. Leonard Ayers and widely circulated the past week shows graphically the rise and fall ot American business during the lifetime of the nation. During each major war in which this country has engaged there has been a startling rise in wholesale prices followed by a slower decline after hostili-, ties were over This decline is not complete since the W orld war and it may therefore be presumed that there will ,be further*de- WITH millions creases in prices of commodities. The secondary post war depression after the war of 1812 last- ed for five years. After the Civil war the depression lasted for nearly six years before it was stopped by what is called gold re sumpsion prosperity. We now have experienced about three years of the secondary post war depression after the World war and if history is to repeat itself we may expect about three years more / This may not be so disasterous for the farmer as it might be j . foreven if wheat does not recover in price the lowering in the cost of other commodities to the farmer will make some profit pos- .. sible to careful managers. Under no conditions, if the facts are ” ’ accurately presented in this chart, may we expect recovery to be rapid or within the next year, but we may conclude that there will “ be a recovery and resulting prosperity again just as there has but ri a tar every depression in the past histo y of thenatCn.

Just .what the board of higher education has done to the uni- ' vereity aiid the state college will not be known until their plan of reorganization has been tried.
