"Better English Week"
Better English is one of the desirable things in
both the social and business life. Unfortunately, the
American people have shown themselves very careless
in English. It has had little attention in our schools;
and, of course, less in our homes/ . ■■
It is gratifying to see the leaders of our education
al system sponsoring the Better English movement.
They have set apart this week as Better Enpjish
Week" in this territory, hoping to make people think
as they speak and write, in order to use the best
sounding and best meaning words to express their
thoughts.
Since language is nothing more than the means of
conveying the thoughts of one person to another, it
is very important that we study the fundamentals of
the language we use. Parents and children at home
are also members of the Better English Week So
ciety, as well as those at school, and should use the
best .of care in to choose the best English they know,
because the careless use of English—frequently when
we knlow better —is responsible for so many improper
\ •
expressions.

T. B. Brandon, County Agent
It is to b» hoped that neither of these opinions will
prevail. The real thing to be desired is fair play
for everybody.
No president has had a greater opportunity to do
real service to our Nation than Mr. Hoover will have,
and the question is how will Mr. Hoover measure up
to the occasion. His path will be more difficult than
most presidents have had to travel. The people and
the property are further apart than ever before. Gi
gantic wealth has grown to the point that it seems
to think the only need for the mass of people is to
work for them when they need them.
When we consider the fact that fewer folks are
working for themselves each year, Mr. Hoover's great
est opportunity is not in establishing equal rights a
mong nations. The establishment of equal rights and
preserving the opportunities for the future is the big
gest thing that he will have to grapple with. It is
apparent that- fewer people are now managing and di
recting the business of the country than SO years
ago. The flock of poor folks is rapidly growing larg
er, while the few are becoming gorgeously rich.
"Don't Blame Wall Street"
The Manufacturer and Industrial News Bureau
says "Don't Blame Wall Street," and then gives some
pretty good advice. It says:
AII editorial in a recent issue of Collier's Weekly
comments on the continuance of our unprecedent
ed national prosperity, and shows that it is well
grounded and should be permanent. High wages,
more efficient business, steady employment, and
improviiiK farm conditions arc tno»t promising au
guries for the future. j
"In consequence of this great national develop
ment," Collier's continues, "prices of securities
have been enormously enhanced.
"Much of this rise lias been of the soundest
character.
"Stock* have reflected the increased earnings of
corporations and millions of people have been en
riched. *
"All this is solid and desirable. But accompany
ing this actual prosperity based on increased pro
duction and consumption is the artificial prosperity
buildcd upon gambling in stocks.
" 'Waif Street' is not to blame for this. Men
and women fro mevery walk of life and from every
State in the Union have caught the fever. Stock
gambling has become a great national pastime.
. . Gambling threatens to stop the goose
from laying her golden eggs.
"The road to safety is plain enough. Buy stocks
as you would buy a house or an automobile or a
suit of clothes. . . . Measure the price by the
value you are offered.
"The ownership of stocks by millions of investors
Is one of the soundest development* of recent
years. The entire country has been benefited by
the general distribution of the ownership of securi
ties. -lift
"But nobody in the long run is benefited by pay
ing more than an article is worth.
"If you want to see prosperity continue, help to
make it safe. Work, save, spend, invest, but don't
gamble. Buy stocks when >ou can at rational
prices, but don't go 'whoopee' around the stock
