BECKER’S Variety Store Marianna Building MARION, N. C. pld Newspapers for sale at The Progress office at 6c a bundle. by Arthur Brisbane Kellogg Peace Fruits To Boom Good Times When a Man Scribbles Think of Mexico China says Russia’s attack on her Manchurian possessions, seizing the railroads, killing Chinese, setting fire to their hom^s, etc., is a defiance of the Kellogg peace pact Britain and America will talk that over and see what can be done about it. Henderson, foreign minister in Brit ain’s labor cabinet, says Japan will take part in the discussion. Russia asks no one’s advice and the only thing that could be done about It would be to fight Russia. It would be Interesting If the first fryits of the Kellogg peace pact should be the start of another war. If that war came Japan, highly Intelligent would send a few “observers,” as in the big war, and do nothing else. Britain would be too busy with other things and too “fed up” for any more fighting. Uncle Sam would be told: “After all, Kellogg is your man. It is your peace pact. Have the common decency to attend to this matter.” Insull of Chicago, Cortelyou of New York and Owen D. Young of Europe. New York and everywhere have seen the President. They and other Indus trial stars promise the President to co-operate in his admirable undertak ing, promotion of new enterprises, wise spending of money and creation of jobs. Their promise Is no small one, for they agree to spend fifteen hundred 11 million dollars on one program. What the country needs, if it really needs anything beyond common sense. Is to spend part of the money we have, | j and we have hundreds of billions of it. On past occasions this country has stood petrified, unable to move, like a man watching his house burn down, unable to use his legs or hands. i ^ You might buy of autograph dealers a signature of Herbert Hoover on*a sheet of paper with many little queer geometrical diagrams scratched on the paper while listening to a visitor. These diagrams usually mean that the man making them Is not listening “very hard.” If Rockefeller or Ford called to tell the President of a plan to put ten million men to work at good wages, he would listen and wouldn’t do any scribbling as he listened. When you talk and a man scribbles. make it short. He isn’t much inter ested. It was a distressing slump in Wall street, but think of poor Mexico. That country has had not a slump but a downward cataclysm. Figures prepared by L. F. Herbert, authority on Mexican securities, show that national and railroad securities i in Mexico with a par value of $563,- j 926,156 are now selling on a basis of $37,000,000, or about six and a half per cent of par. Suppose you could buy $100 worth of our government bonds or l)est rail road stock for $6.50. That would be ^ worry. And the simple-hearted Mexicans* have not been dumping out new stock. ■ 20.000.000 shares at a time, either. Business men that know what it means to take an inventory of a good sized store will shudder when tliej hear that Doctor Sbapley of Harvard has a plan for taking an inventory oJ the universe or “an index,” as he calls it. Man is very far down In that inventory, about as important as a shoestring in a wholesale dry goods store. In the cosmos everytlUng is to be listed in its place, from electrons to ■‘super galaxies.” The difference be tween a super galaxy and an electron of which millions might revolve un perceived around their nucleus in the corner of the eye, is quite a differ ence. Consider that the molecules In a pint of water, placed side by side, touching, would go uround the earth two hundred million times; that oui sun is a million times as big as the earth; that uhere exist other suns, one million times as big as ours, and you can imagine what a cosmic inventor? would be. But men will make it. In eluding everything within the tele scope's reach. Give a Thought NOW TO A SUBSTANTIAL and UP-TO-DATE Christmas Gift! The A.A.A.
