Weather Vdrsus Stocks
THE stock market is going up. "What if it should continue
to soar, until the high prices of a year ago are equalled!
"Not a chance." That is what the experts say
But what do the experts KNOW about it!
Exactly nothing I
IN fact when it comes to the economio future, no one knows
anything about anything. All business prophesying,' whether
by experts or non-experts is one grand and glorious guess.
At least that is this column's conviction, after several years
observation and experience.
Which reminds us, of Mark Twain's famous remark 'about
the weather, a great deal of talk about it, but so little DONE
about it.
There is, in certain circles, even more talk about business
present and future. But however heated and stimulating the
conversation, how LITTLE is. done about it I
Business, like the weather, has a way of doing as it likes
regardless of conversation, and especially regardless of pre
dictions. There is in fact a certain contrary streak observable,
in both phenomena. 1
TAKE the situation a year ago, for example. At least six of
the country's leading economists, headed by Roger Babson,
saw inflation ahead, therefore advising the purchase of common
stocks as a hedge against it. Many also advised the purchase
of real property, and the storing of non-perishable commodities
for the same reason.
Not one saw any serious clouds on the economio horizon.
Not one foresaw a stock market tumble, which would lead to
a steady DEfJation, reaching a recognized economic recession,
and finally spreading out and crystalizing as a second
DEGRESSION. -
Not one. Yet that is precisely what happened.
S O-o-o-o-o,
The fact that not one of the same authorities, at the present
writing, foresees, any material improvement in the business
picture, at least until Fall if then, means exactly nothing
at all.
It niay turn out that way of course, but it is just as likely
to turn out the exact reverse.
The local weather man may check up his data today, see
nothing threatening on the harozon, and so proclaim "Tomor
row will be fair and warmer."
It may turn out that way of course. But it is just as likely
to turn out the exact reverse, as it did only a week ago, with
snow in the hills, and chattering teeth on the floor of the valley.
IN other words, economics is no
weather predictions are. Both
and certain probabilities, but
under the heading of guess-work
Business, like the weather, has
soothsayers and seers, the factual background and the deduc
tions therefrom and behaving
according to laws which it alone
understands.
A Sure
THE above is one reason why there is such confusion prevail
ing, why all of us, are wandering about, more or less lost
in a fog.
We are on our way, but haven't the slightest idea where
we are going. And what is worse, no one else Knows, or u
they think they do, others equally reliable think the exact re
verse. .So one opinion washes out
in tho wilderness or balm in (lilead, we continue our aimless
wandering, toward the Lord knows where or what.
THE writer has just completed a speech by Senator Byrd,
Ijimhnstimr tlin Unnspvelt nrlminisl rut ion for its recent
pump-priming action, just another shot in the arm, which
failed before and will fail again. And the Senator has his
export economists, to support
SPEND OURSELVES INTO
and unanimous conclusion.
But at this point along conies
Babson, who stands no better than any of the other experts,
but no doubt stands as well. (At least he was one of the few
who predicted the economic tailspin of 1029.)
And what does Babson think
program t
Here is a portion of his late.st proclamation:
"Business Isn't bad. Retsll trade la only off 15 In the
densely populated sections, where the recession Is hitting the
hardest. In the agricultural districts It Is only off 3 or S
percent. Factory production however Is off 40.'
."So we find this pump priming attempt Is coming when
nstural business adjustment Is In Its final stages. This huge
addition to the purchasing power of the nation comes Just
when business wsa about ready to forge ahead ot Its own accord.
"Another thing. This same pump priming should be a major
force to prevent the usual se.utonsl let-down. It may start
business upward In the very noar future lnstesd of awaiting
the Fall months. If I were a manufacturer making a product
Bold to the general public, or if 1 were in an Industry selling
to the factories that sell generally, I would be getting ready to
get my share of that B3.000.O00.0O0.
"Also if I were In one ot the socalled heavy Industries, whose
products will be used greatly In the type of construction
contemplated. I would be getting ready too. I believe thst If
business In toto mould match the government expenditure
match It In spite of sny rears they might have of tho future
trend ot legislation, match It In iplte ot their probably warrant
ed distrust of tho administration, that we would quickly be
on the way up."
So whatt
Well it leaves us about where we were, one expert predicts
one thing, another tho reverse, no one knows what to believe
whom to believe, or where we are.
OCT this much is certain or at least as certain as anything
in an uncertain world CAN be.
If by common consent the people of this country WOULD
accept Mr. Babson 's view as the correct one, and act accord
ingly, conditions would not only improve at once, but continue
to improve, for a considerable period, at the least a year.
For as stated so many times there is plenty of money. Crop
prospeets were never better. The only vital thing lacking for
reasonably good business is public confidence and if Babson is
right there is no excuse for that.
And with the return of public confidence how the wheels
would hum I

Soda reacts with acid In the stom

this reaction Is rather purgative.
Magnesia Is still more so. Chalk Is
not purgative It Is commonly used
as a mild remedy against diarrhea

GLBSTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sodium Citrate IS Right
When I sent to the drug store for
one ounce of citrate of soda, to make
up the Fool Proof Cough Medicine,
they sent me sodium citrate. I sup
pose It Is the same thing, but I want
to be sure. (Mrs. T. P.)
Answer Yes, sodium citrate Is the
right name for citrate of soda, just
as sodium bicarbonate Is the right
name for bicarbonate of soda. Sodium
citrate was formerly used In the mod
ification of milk for Infants, so It Is
a pretty safe medicine.
Injection Treatment
Following a suggestion In one of
your good articles I had the Injection
treatment for piles. Allow me to re
port that this is a wonderful method
It was practically painless, and I
have had no further trouble In that
way. (W. B. H.)
Answer Fully 95 per' cent of all
coses of piles are now treated by the
ambulant Injection method. Only a
few old-timers still operate.
Tobacco Habit
What Is the treatment you recom
mend to break the habit of smoking?
I feel that I am smoking far too
much. (Miss C. J. L.)
Answer Send a stamped envelope
bearing your address and ask fortho
monograph on Tobacco Habit.

I noticed In a recent issue, where
a certain party waa rating the farm
ers for hauling hay behind their cars,
tor having old rattle traps of cars,
mortgages on their farms Instead of
a nice car and a ban account. Would
the party please come forward with
his plan for a change In this system,
as we as farmers cannot see where
we are Justified In Jogging a team
and hay wagon up and down a hard
surfaced road for a distance of 10 or
30 miles for a load of hay when an
old rattle trap of a oar will make the
same trip In a couple of hours. More
humane to the horses and saving
time for the farmer also.
I see where two farmers got ar
rested. One had a trailer without
license and too wide a load whll
the other had a atralght exhaust pipe,

a, little car and was trying to ninUe
an honest living. He was hauling two
tier of wood to Medford to trade for
groceries and the state police In
formed him that he waa hauling
one-half tier too much and that waa
bis beans, so now he Is trying to
exist without. Another farmer along
side the rosd patching his car'a tire

As this occurs dally, will you please
Inform ua farmera Just what la the
matter with the farmer and don't you
think there Is Injustice here? As the
farmer has no money and no way of
getting any and If there la not

many more names on the relief roll
