Olive Barber's Letter This morning I looked out the kitchen window and there, Just beyond the woodshed I saw a most astonishing sight a silver- wheeled Ben Hur chariot, the driver standing bravely erect. the skirt of his robe a silver sail behind him. I called to my husband saying, "Do you see what I sec? Ben Hur In his chariot headed straight for our garden." Used to my whimsies, he lokcd then laughed indulgently and said, "Just tho mowing.ma chlne, you goon." Well, maybe it was but the sun had glorified the dew drenched wheels Into circles of silver. The tall gear-shift was the illusionary driver and the spread of an enormous spider web formed the skirts of an equally Illusionary robe. Just a mowing machine? Oh, no! A Ben Hur chariot, with an upright, silver-gowned Ben hold ing the reins. Perhaps one of the reasons we farm so casually is that we dream and imagine so industriously. Like watching the moon rise when wo could have been doing much more practical tilings The moon had drifted upward from behind the forested hill to the East. The tips of the fir tree tops were limned against the golden disk of the moon which rose slowly until it stood free in a star-dusty sky. I likened the moon to but ter-colored Juliette, her buttery brood about her. A house guest said the man in the moon was shaving and the stars were got den whiskers adrift on the floor of the night. But Frank, who Is a baseball fan. said some celes tial oltchcr had tossed a slow ball. The mowing machine a Ben Hur Chariot; the moon a bantam hen, a baseball or a man taking a shavel The fanciful folly of foolish folk. Yet wisdom' at times is frivolously garbed. And it could be a form of wisdom to reap a measure of Joy in a world so often sown to strife and sor row. If this bo so, then It was not undignified, the group of ! men I suw laughing at the antics of a kitten. They were men dealing in world-wide affairs, yet j for a lew minutes there was only themselves and a playful kitten, j And for me, well before I wash ed the separator and went to the : garde.i to hoe corn a mowing i machine was a silver chariot; a j spider web the robe of the imaginary charioteer. And It seemed to me that the separator ' washed easier, that morning; and the corn was less weedy. A good return for folly. Oakland, Cal. Aug. 13 (U P. Joseph W.

When, how ever, investors began to realize that It would take years lor fcng land to get its socialistic plans into action and perhaps then would fail to succeed, these same people began to buy back securi - tics, me marnci nas since re- turned to normal. There several reasons for this. England Sure to Inflate As Result of Election I have long thought that in- nation is jneviiaoie; in ibci u is guing un cvci; ua, on every day, iNotning can stop It except a great spiri tual awakening which will cause us to put the good of all before our own selfishness. I, however, now see no sign of this. Hence, the United States Is headed for higher prices, higher wages, higher rents and higher stock values- The people of the world are "on the march" demanding inflation. I am more sure of this than ever since the Labor government of England won by such a large majority. This will enable them to take over the Bank of Eng land and issue all the money they need for their socialistic experiments.- Whether or not these will be a success, no one now knows- Russia Is still In the test tube, notwithstanding what her friends say. But for the next few years, while the experiment is being tried, jobs should be plentiful and money should flow like water. Stocks should sell higher, not only because of their intrinic merit: but because wise Englishmen will shift from their English stocks to American stocks. I Stocks Not Too High Compared to Panic Pricet Compared with panic prices of ; 10 years ago, the stock market : now seems high to many conser vative people. This is because the stock average was only 30 in 1932 compared with 110 today, j Yet, only as far back as 1937, these same stocks sold at about 130; while in 1929 they sold for 280. With the British govern-; ment and the Bank of England backing inflation, some stocks may well again sell at 1929 j highs. i "What should I buy?" you ask. 1 Well, the safest procedure is to diversify among a wide list, buy- i lng the leading stocks In 15 or j more Industries, omitting the rails, airplane manufacturing i and shipping stocks- If you ( pinned me down to three groups I should advise the merchandis lng group. Especially the variety chains, the insurance group, especially the casualty stocks. and well-managed real estate. These are the groups in which 1 am investing my own money. Churchill's Defeat Should Hasten Billions Awaiting Investment Fifty-five years ago there were only about one or two bil-, lions of "loose change" in pockets and cash drawers. It took about 50 years to build this up to seven billions- During the WdtcP laMiii'rtirjii I and Stock Market past five years this loose change has jumped from seven billions to 28 billions! This means It has ! quadrupled in five years. Dur-I ing this same five years bank de- j posits have doubled and are now ; over $100,000,000,000. This nearly equals the assessed values of everv nrrp nf land and ! fivprv buildine of everv kind in j the enliro United States. When 1 one eonsiders tnat there are no more sccurjties available for nur- ,rc , chase than there were five years I ago, it seems as if higher prices j for stocks and land are inevit j able. Sooner or later this loose j ment Cnurcnill., defeat snouId nasten the day. Interest Rates Lowest In History of World Let us consider Interest rates. It was not long ago that govern ment bonds paid over 4'i per, cent; savings bank accounts paid ; 3A per cent; while we got two per cent on our checking ac counts. Today these interest rates arc down to two per cent, ! one per cent and zero, lower than ever before in the history of the world Yet anyone can buy today good corporation bonds to yield 3.i per cent and good stocks to yield more. People should soon i get tired of leaving their money I. u t Idle in the banks at one per cent or at no interest when they can get so much more from good securities. When the public rea lizes this, the demand for good dividend paying slocks should gently increase. Young People Advised To Become Experts One thing which I must men tion in closing is this: The Brit ish elections will cause most of Europe to follow with socialistic experiments. The movement will temporarily cast its shadow on the United States.. This means '4-H CufrTEi 'Mm ii "Mil MmkiAt M Lunch Served al Noon il" jPX & BXL WED., AUG. 15. STARTS 10 A.M.
