EDFORD M M Twenty-Seventh Year Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS H 'ERE are three headlines from the market pagea of yesterday: "Buy ing Benda AU Drain Prleea TJp." 'Cattle and Hog Markets Are High er." Butter and Egg Markets Are Firm." These aia significant developments is the news. THY are they significant? Well, If you want an answer to that question, suppose you ask your self THIS question: "When Is busi ness going to get "better?" Tou will find that this la about the only answer that will fit: "When people begin to get a little more money to spend." fJIOHEB grain prleea will put more money In the pocketa of those who have grain to sell. Higher hog and cattle prices will put more money In the pocketa of those who have hogs and cattle to sell. Tlrmer butter and egg markets will help to put more money In the pocketa of those who produce butter and eggs. With a little more money 4ni their pocketa. the producers of these ciarn- modltles will be able to spend a T,'ttle f irnot a more. fcUT," you may say, I am farmer. I have no grain, so fcogs or cattle, no butter and eggs to aell. I am a working man, and I am out of a Job. 'How will higher prleea for these things, which the farmer ha to aell and which I must BUY, help me to get a Job?' THAT Is a reasonable question. Here la the1 answer, which Is a reason able answer: Higher price for grain and cattle and hogs and eggs and butter will put a little more money In the pocket of the farmer than he has had In the past. 'When the farmer begins to GET a little more money, he will begin to SPEND a little more. In that, he la Just like the rest of us. We are ALL that way. When the farmer begins to spend a little more money, ho will create an additional demand for the products of industry such aa lumber. As addi tional demand la created for the pro ducts of industry, It will be possible to put more men back to work. Thus new Jobs will be created. Bee how It works? B UT that Isn't all. somew,hat higher prices for what he lias to sell, begins to spend a little more money and so creates additional demand for the products of Industry, more men are put back to work In the mills and factories, and these men who are put back to work begin to get a little more money In their -nocketa, whereas before they had none. So they are able to buy MORE FOOD, and as they begin to buy more tood the market for the farmer's pro ducts begins to expand, and as the market begins to expand the price, In response to the law of supply and demand, goes up still more. N TOW let's see what that means. As the farmer's price gets bet ter, he has STILL MORE money to spend and by spending It he creates an ADDITIONAL demand for the pro ducts of Industry, thus making It possible to put MORE MEN back at work. As more men are put back at work, they buy more of the products of the farm. And bo on. - VfJHEN you throw a pebble into a ' still pond, waves begin to spread. They KEEP ON spreading, until In time they reach the farthest edges of Vie pond. . And so It la when the pebble of Improved prices is thrown into the business pond. The wavea that are started keep on spreading until after a while they reach everybody. riUSINESS has a habit of running in - circles. Back In 1929, when prices began to crash, people began to discover (hat they had LESS money In their pockets than they had before. So of course, they began to spend less They HAD to. You can't keep on spending very long If you haven't OOT IT TO SPEND. As people spent less, there waa leas and less demand for the products of Industry and of the farm.

Justice Staley aald that, as ha ln terpreted the law, the mayor could' be removed "only for cause, and for a cause relating to aome act of omis sion on the part of the officer whlcb. amounts to official misconduct or violation of public trust, or one that Involves moral turpitude."
