Ve have no aum figure of hunger !
stalking thruugli Amerua, eluu-hmg nt 1
the thieats vt helpless and dying- chil
dren, as in A nr. tin. a and in many Euro
pean countries, We have no thousands
of refugees wandering in the moun
tains, beset by winter snows on the one
hand and by armed fues on the other,
as in Caucasus.
In comparison, we are living in a ha
ven of refuge, shielded from the storms
of the world. The most of those who
are worrying are thinking about whe
ther business in the new year is going
to be guod or medium or bad. And be
cause we are thinking so much about
that and so little about the abundance
and good fortune with which we aie
enviruiu-d, we are ourselves causing
business to halt and hesitate. That is
what Mr. Hoover means when he says
half our troubles are psychological
Thus, the man w ho is buying raw
material and converting it into a fin
ished product is wondering if there will
be a demand for his output. He is
waiting. The jobber, who is taking
that output and distributing it to the
retailers, is wondering about what de
mand there will be. He is waiting. The
retailer is wondering what demand
there will be from consumers. He is
waiting. And so it is a temporary wait
all around to see what is going to hap
pen. Meanmhile, money is tight be
cause of the abundance of our goods
and products. We hold more than one
third of the world's gold and the debts
that other nations owe us couldn't be
paid with the other two thirds.
Kut our farmers are holding about
60 per cent of their last harvest and the
banks are extending them enormous
credits. The banks are carrying tre
mendous credits in financing our ex
ports, this year amounting to IS, 000,
000,000, constituting the largest export
business and one of the largest finan
cial transactions in the history of man.
Public and private enterprise in Europe
is now and for several years has been
getting credit from our bank3 and with
the proceeds has been buying American
goods, . involving long-time operations
and straining heavily the colossal cash
resources of America. It is thus that
the very bigness of our business and
the abundance of our material re
sources make money tight
We are exporting twice as much In
goods and products to other nations as
we are buying from other nations, and
our exports are increasing. They total
eifcht billions this year. They were 7.9
billions in 1&19, six billions in 1918 and
were an average of but 2.3 billions be
fore the war. No country ever had so
enormous a trade balance. No country
ever did such a colossal international
business. It is a process in gathering
wealth almost beyond the dreams of
avarice.
The people never had so much money,
Saving deposits are nearly doubled.
There are now 20,000,000 savings ac
counts against 13.000,000 before the
war. Somebody, thought there was a
run on a New York bank recently. The
long line in waiting turned out to be
an army of people buying liberty bonds
and Victory notes. The bank deposits
of America have in six years risen to
fiipures beyond the power of mind to
c-mprehend. The riiarkeiing of foreign
bonds in the United States and the
enormous business created by pur
chases of the securities by persons or
dinarily catalogued as among the
masses is one ijf the signs of widely
diffused financial power, There are now
half a doren bond houses in Portland
to the oi. e or two here five or six years
No peopU wn:e ever so blessed ma
terially iiuii jspiritually. In any other
country what we call hard times would
be looked upon us overflowing prosper
ity. It is a psychology of cowardice and
timidity that does most to contribute
to suUi iinxiety as may exist.
In the presidential campaign we were
told that we were living under the
worst government on earth, under the
worst conditions of any country in the
world and that our miseries were be
yond description. It was the humbug
and buncombe cf politicians, but a lot
of people believed it.
They were toid that they needed a
change, and. following that advice
they carried their discontent to the bal
lot box, expecting a great wave of easy
money and glittering profits w-ould roll
over the country, No such thing hap
pened, because America has absorbed
mo! of the wealth of the woild and,
after leaping harvests of profits be
yond anything known to history, still
has that wealth as a basis of continued
profit -making. When we find out, as
we sunn will, that politicians and their
alamity howling are a pest and not a
product of fact we will nil come bark
to our wonted buoyant optimism and
be rtnular Americans again, with the
American spirit of hope and dash and
confidence.
I o u lit, hesitation, cowardice, fore
bodings and timidity never accom
plished anything worth while In Ameri
ca. If he bad listened to such impulses,
.HfTiTPNon never would have sent Lewis
and Clark into the Oregon country, or
made thf Louisiana purchase If the
colonists had been cowardly or timid or
halting, there would have bfcen no Dec
laration of Independence
Americans who refuse to view the
new year with buoyancy should be sen
tenced tn Hpend a term of months in
China, or Ormany, or Armenia, or Ver
bis, or Turkey, or Mexico, or Russia.
Or they might even be sent to Great

itably the helpless children will suffer most No child car. prow to health
and sanity on the pitiful makeshifts for food with which millions of Euro
pean adults must content Iheraselrea this winter. It is obvious that the
remedy can come only from outside,
America saved 6,000.000 European children winter before lash Nor

twelvemonth Just past The response of America must now decide whether
3.500.0X) of these charges, in acu:e distress, shall begin to be turned aw ay
In January from more than 17,000 asylums, hospitals, clinics and feeding
stations dependent on American support There would be no tragedy tn
history so sweeping or so destructive of those who can deserve no evil.
The undersigned organizations, working among every race and creed,
many engaged also in other forms of relief, agree Unanimously that th
plight of these helpless children should have complete priority in over
seas charity until the situation is met This is an issue without politic"
and without rv! I clous lines. There can be no danger of pauperization,
for the $r.000,(0 for child food, and the $10,000,000 for medlcul service
that we seek, will relieve only the critical cases. The medical supplies,
of course, must be att unqualified gift, but for every American dollar used
in child-feeding, the governments and communities aided furnish two dol
lars In the form of transportation, rent, labor, clerical help, cash contri
butions and such food supplies as are locally obtainable.
America has not failed in the past tn great heartedness. She lm
never had a more poignant call than this. Contributions should ,e turned
over io the local committees which are now being formed fur this national
collection, or sent to Franklin K. Lane. Treasurer, Uuaruntv Trust Co

Tim Hogan and Milady's
Makeup.
The honorable Tim Hogan, alderman
of Chicago, is going to have a law put
throprh against "cootie garago-f" and
"nickle hooks," which is Tim's and Chi
cago's cultured names for a style of
hair-dressing much affected by the
young woman of today.
We can't say that, as a masculine
person, we are much struck by the idea
of covering one's ears with the puff of
hair which the delicately refined Hon
orable Timothy calls a "cootie garage."
On the other hand, we do admire the
curl which to him is a "sickle hook"
any sort of a curl on a woman's head
sets our heart a-flutterlng. But what's
the difference whether masculine Indi
viduals like milady's stiles or not. She
has a right to wear what Bhe pleases
and dress how she likes, Just as much
ri(rht as men have to wear what they
please and dress how they like. Who
ever hears of proposed laws to prohib
it men from wearing huge collar up
around their ears? Or from wearing
those sickening Charlie Chaplin alleged
mustachlos?
And when you get down to brass
tacks there is Just as much foolishness
in man's getup as In woman's per
haps more.
What a howl would go up If Mrs.
Alderman Rrnlth proposed a law to fine
any man who polluted the atmosphere
with the stenchful odors his hair car
ried out of the barber shop? Or a law
to prohibit the lurid vest of commence?
Or n ordinance to compel men to wear
their breeches' buttons behind? Or an
other one to save Mr. Man from cut
ting his head off with a high stiff col
lar? Oh, rats with the Tlonorable Tim
Hogan!
Income Tax Shows America's
Prosperous Millions.
Well, folks, we are close up to the
income tax (bugaboo again Not that
we are not patriots; few of us there
are who will not readily contribute our
part to the government we own. But
somehow, It is human nature to feel
that, after we have paid our personal
taxes and our real estate taxes, we
have done pretty nearly enough.
But there is a more cheerful idea to
the whole thing. The statistics con
siderably belated of the income tax
returns for 1918 have been given out
by the U. S. Internal Revenue Depart
ment and they show an enormous gain
in the number of Just plain folks who
have become comfortable in the ma
terial things of this life. Almost exact
ly a million and a half people (which
represents almost a million and a half
families) reported incomes of between
J2000 and J3000 for the year. That is,
a gain of 76 per cent In the number who
earn from $40 to $55 per week in one
way or another. They paid an average
tax of $23.66 to Uncle Sam. The fact
that there was a decrease of some 5000
in annual incomes of $40,000 or over,
means nothing when we realize the 1m
portance of the former figures.
And incidentally, there were 932,330
who have incomes from $3000 to $3000
a year a total of almost two and a
half million families In this country
that have from $2000 to $5000 a year to
live on. No other country on earth can
begin to compare with it.
Nor can any other country show 1,
500.000 people with Incomes of between
$1000 and $2000 a year, which is the
number reported at the bottom of the
tax.
Endeavor Watch Party and
Social Held at Lexington
The watch party and basket social
given Friday night by the Lexington V.
P. S. C. E. of the Christian church was
a decided success.
The entertainment consisted of s
"coon show," a motion picture show,
and several selections given by differ
ent members of the society. But the
best feature of the evening was the
"coon show." The darkles imitated to
perfection the old time negroes of the
Sunny South. Two amusing selections
were "The Story Without An End," and
"A Hard Shell Baptist Sermon to a
Hard Shell Baptist Congregation."
After the entertainment the baskets
were sold at auction, and there was
keen competition In the bidding, $61.00
being realized from the sale This mon
ey Is to be used In making a payment
on the Society's piano, and in putting
a concrete walk around the church
property.
At the hour of midnight, the passing
of the old year and the arrival of the
new was heralded by the ringing of the
bells of the town, after which all re
tired to their homes well satisfied with
the pleasant evening they had spent.

a rule that those

shall be waited

and their work be
completed first, so
they can go back home a

Years ago I discovered hor
to extract and fix teeth with
out hurting, and was so
successful that people
called me "Painless"
Parker. My practice has
grown until I now have
twenty-eight offices,
and all my associ

have been taught
how to practice
painless dentistry
as well as I can do
it myself. We have
fixed up the teeth
of over a million

way of practicing
"the E. R. Parker System."
