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.

British Elections
Babton Ditcusset Importance of Churchill's Defeat
On Stock Pricet
By Rogtir W, Babson
Babson Park, Mass., Aug-13
(Special Correspondence) When
Churchill's defeat was announc
ed by radio, the stock market
started to crumble. 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
