Sound advice for everybody except the man out of a job, ' and the farmer, who doesn't ' know how to get mass produc tion out of 50 acres.

P, Morgan, most powerful 'fig ure in American finance, is per fecting on enterprise that will make his late father's big steel company look like an modest ; investment. The new enterprise, called in : Wall -Street slang, "United Corp.," plans a five billion dol lar corporation to include prac tically everything in the way of public utilities in the North Atlantic region. 1 Steam power, water power, gas, and the great distributing agencies would all be under one t.
