(Continued from Page 6) depression that we must eventually work our way out, and I still say it. When \ /e produce so much that our money will buy more of that production, then, and only then, will this inflation sensibly and safely subside. Either that, or some day we must explode with a sharp report and come down in a fine drizzle. And that won't be fun.

If you want this big subject handled tersely and practically, hark to the words of a writer, L5rnn Landrum, whom I frequently quote, as he says: "Inflation is what you have when an increising amount of money commands a decreasing amount of goods and services. There is less and less of meat. of automobiles. There is less and less of coal digging and house painting and professional services. \Me can't cure all that overnight. And we will never get it cured until we begin to get more meat, more automobiles, more coal digging, house painting and services on the market than we have now. In the main that means that more Americans have got to put in more hours over more days and turn out more goods and services." It's. bitter, but the doctor says-"Take it." {.**

General Wm. Tecurnseh Sherman was a man who strongly resented having the newspapers and their editors telling the government how it should be run. We find him saying: "Supposing the pilot of a ship should steer his course according to the opinions of every fellow who watched the clouds above and the currents below; rvhere would his ship land? No, the pilot has before him a little needle; he watches it, and he never errs. So, if we make that our simple code, the law of the land must and shall be executed no matter what the consequences, we cannot err." This was contained in a letter he wrote his brother after the War between the States, in which he said that there were ten thousand editors presuming to dictate to generals, presidents, and cabinets. Wonder what the grizzled General would have said had he lived in this day of the columnists, who are much more given to advising on all matters than were the editors of Civil War times?

Socrates taught on the streets of Athens nearly five hundred years before Christ. His chief teaching was thisthat a man could only succeed by the building and development of his own character, and that in order to do that successfully he must be able to stand to one side and "watch himself go by" as it were. He said a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he should sit as a bystander and watch it work, and judge its development, its strength and weakness, in an entirely abstract manner. If he discovered that his mind was showing small weaknesses, such as anger; envy, jealousy, fear, etc., he should realize its imperfections and go to work to correct them, and build his mind and character to higher levels.

No one knows, or even attempts to estimate how many Bibles have been printed and sold in the world's history. One American printer is said to be shooting at 'the billion mark. Ten million Bibles is a modest annual sale in this country alone. Bruce Barton called it "The Book Nobody Knows." It is printed and sold by the million, worlds of people talk about it, but few know it. The reason-they read it with blinkers on. Whatever theological denomination the reader belongs to, he reads to prove to himself that that church is the right one. And the agnostic or infidel reads it to discover inaccuracies,'cohtradictions, illogical statements, or anything that will help him to criticize it. Only the occasional scholar who approaches the Bible with his mind wide open, and has no religious axes to grind, really learns anything. He seeks to find out what it's all about. He looks for Truth, regardless of what packages it seems to come in. or what label it bears. To such readers it is loaded with nuggets more priceless than gold or precious stones. To the fellow trying to prove that the religion his parents handed him is the only true religion, the Bible is just something to argue narrowly about. Such a man should have his skull lifted to give his brains room to grow. "What rvas good enough for Paw is good enough for me," is the basis of most theological disputes.

Just to give you " ,o"*i, ;* ", how little chance there is of food prices coming down, I read with'a real pain in the neck a story with pictures in the Los Angeles Times on the subject'of potatoes. The pictures show a great pile of Irish potatoes, described as the finest type of rich, white potatoes, being ground into cattle feed by tractors. These potatoes were purchased from the growers for as much as $2.60 a bushel, sold to cattle men for ten cents a bushel, converted into cattle feed by crushing, while the U. S. Government takes the loss of $2.50 a bushel. The buyers of the potatoes can sell the sacks they come in for at least the ten cents they pay for the potatoes and the sacks. It is a shocking sight. This is done under the price control program which guarantees to pay the farmer for his potatoes if he cannot sell them. No, they are not available for sale to the American consumer, or for gifts to .the starving Europeans we hear so much about. Grade l-A potatoes bring $2.60, lower grades as low as $1.30. ft's the same as plowing under pigs during the early days of the New Deal. Worse, for the world is far hungrier than it rvas then.
