PAGE THREE
Setting the World Right
Carle Conway, head of the Con
tinental Can Company, has a cus
tomer in Massachusetts who makes
One day when Wall Street was
cranberry sauce.
thinking that the world was going
to the dogs, Carle dropped in on
this Yankee manufacturer and
found him very serene.
They dined together, and After
dinner the talk turned to world bus
iness conditions which, says Carle,
"seem to have eliminated prohibi
tion from conversation, so that
there is that much to be said In
favor of depression at least."
The cranberry man said: "During
the war I was making cranberry
sauce and we were not able to get
sugar except at an exhorbitant
price. Every one in the industry
said we had better go out of bus
iness because we had to have sugar
to make cranberry sauce, and su
gar at thirty cents a pound would
stop sales.
"I went Into a huddle with myself
that night and came to the conclu
sion that I would let the customers
decide whether they would buy
cranberry sauce made with thirty
cent sugar; that I had Just one Job
in the world and that was to run
my business, and I was going to
let the world, take care of itself,
and every one else take care of him
self, and I was going to figure how
I could take care of my business
and solve the problems each day
as they came along.
"I did not think I was big enough
to help or harm the world's pro
gress, but I did think I could help
or harm my own business."
One thing which makes this de
pression seem more discouraging
than others is the fact that all
countries have been so closely knit
together. In other periods of slow
business we in the United States
did not worry becauseo the coffee
market was bad in Brazil or the
corn plaster Industry had collapsed
in Timbuctoo. We had our own
troubles to fight.
This year our newspapers, thru
their wonderful news gathering
forces, have brought us all the bad
tidings from everywhere. The re
sult is that the average American
business man is going around try
ing to carry the troubles of the
whole big world.
I may be all wrong, but my Idea
about the other countries is that
they are all having serious difficul
ties, Just as we are, but in every
one of them there is a solid back
bone of people Just like you and me
hard working, sensible men and
women who have their homes and
families, who do not want to see
the social order overthrown and
who are doing their Individual best
to solve their own problems.
Ultimately, I believe, this silent
majority will win.
In the meantime, when anybody
comes into my office to discuss
world conditions, I courteously ask
to be excused. I am trying hard
to work out my own salvation.
If everybody in the world does
that the world will be saved.
competition and example, and It
would be a loss to most towns If
chain stores should be suppressed
and the old, slipshod, inefficient re
tailing methods which once prevail
ed almost everywhere, were to re
turn.
GOLD
New gold discoveries are reported
from Mexico and South' Australia.
How rich they are has not yet been
determined. The Australian "reef
has long been a tradition under the
name of "Aladin's Cave," so rich
is it supposed to be in the precious
metal. The Mexican bonanza is said
to be also rich in silver, lead and
petroleum. Both regions are in ter
ritory occupied by hostile natives.
If either report proves true there
will be another great slaughter of
aborigines who stand in the way of
the white man's greed, and there
will be such an addition to the
world's gold supply as to still fur
ther complicate the money prob
lem. Gold will be cheaper, which
means that prices will be higher.
It is doubtful whether society as a
whole will be any better off.
VACCINATION
The health officer of Newark, N.
J., recently required everybody liv
ing in a certain section of the city,
some 1,400 persons, to be vaccin
ated. There was, of course, the usual
protest on the part of the ignorant
and wrong-headed persons who
"don't believe in" vaccination. The
world Is full of people who "don't
believe In" facts of modern science.
Not lone ago the same sort of peo
ple "didn't believe in" flying mach
ines.
The fact is that vaccination has
resulted, in 132 years, in making
smallpox a minor and controllable
Infection in every civilized country.
Vaccination Is not pleasant, and
there are people who are unhappy
when deprived of the privilege of
shooting off revolvers at random,
Society has to protect the many
against the undisciplined few,
whether the menace be pistols or
smallpox.
TRICKERY
The more I see of the motion
picture business the less respect I
have for the methods and morals
nf thp movie magnates.
The Intpst scheme to lure the pen
nies from the pockets of the public
Is to sell advertising In the talkies.
the films which are being
shown are honest enough. They are
distinctly labelled as advertising,
nH nnvhnrlv who doesn't want his
evening's entertainment commer

....tiainfr f,ir whirh the movie pro
ducers take monye is cleverly In
troduced In so-called, feature pic
tures. Yet the local exhibitors are
asked to pay Just as much for these
films as for any otners.
CHAINS
There is nothing Illegal about
chain stores, but tne supreme louh
th. TtnHorl stjites has decided
that any state has the right to tax
them at a different rate irom omei
UBlllusnvo.
There Is nothing unreasonable
about this, so long as the tax is not
high enough to drive them out of
business. The chain store fills a
... i in mir nronnn t social-economic
system, as Is proved by the amazing
development of numerous organiza
tions operating hundreds or thou
sands of retail outlets. The inde

I take off my hat to John Hawkes
of Beacon, N. Y. Mr. Hawkes is
72 years old. He heard that the
State of New York had adopted an
old age pension law, so he went to
the town hall and applied for his
allowance. As he was out of work,
the application was granted and he
collected $90 in the course of a few
weeks.
Then he learned that the old-age
pension was only for persons who
were dependent upon others, or un
able to earn a living. That put an
ther light on It in the eyes of old
John Hawkes. He went out and got
himself a Job and before long walk
ed into the town hall again. He
laid $90 on the clerk's desk and told
him to give it to somebody that
couldn't earn anything. He was
willing to take an old-age pension,
but not when it carried the stigma
of pauperism with it!
John Hawkes is the sort of Amer
ican that one can be proud of. He
puts self-respect above money.
There are too many men younger
than he who are content to live on
charity; too few who refuse to ac
cept anything they have not earned.
Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Turner and
son Don were In town from the
farm In Swaggart buttes on Tues
day. Out that way there had been
occasional showers but no heavy
rain. The dust was well laid in the
roads, however. .Mr. Turner was
getting his threshing machinery re
paired for the oncoming harvest.
