Pictured above is the modern new office building now under construction by the ° Elkin Furni
ture Co. Built of stone and concrete, the new building is of fire-proof construction* and is located a
few yards west of the south end of the main plant. Work on the exterior was practically complete
when the picture was made, workmen now being engaged in completing the interior. M. R. Bailey,
superintendent of the Company, stated that the structure has been built by employees of the com
pany. The ground floor is two feet above the level of the recent flood. Offices of the manufacturing
firm will be moved into the new building immediately upon its completion, be in the imme
diate future.— (Tribune Photo.)

"STORM WARNINGS"
Today the American farmer
faces his greatest test of wisdom.
In this position he may well be
compared to the captain of a
great ship.
Ha The mate of
almost any ship
I can steer* it
when skies are
I clear and the
| sea runs smooth-
Si ly. But the cap
-1 tain's experience
|and resultant
skill enables him
Kyes to read storm
warnings and properly direct the
ship's course when storms arise.
At this moment a storm of un
precedented proportions is head
ing in our direction. Whether he
realizes it or not, every farmer
must play the role of the wise
captain during the months and
years that make up the immed
iate future. Otherwise he may
find himself wrecked upon the
shoals of financial disaster.
Each of us is familiar with the
national defense program and

the extent of its progress. Indus
trial machinery is being set in
motion and transportation is
speeding up to meet the new de
mand for the movement of sup
plies. Capital considers its fu
ture possibilities while labor
moves to protect its interests.
Translated, all this action spells
"upswing."
Just as there are different
types of hazards facing the ship's
captain, so there are different
types of "upswings" in economic
life. The present one is filled
with dangers for the unwary be
cause of four facts:
1. People are having difficulty
meeting the demands of ever
increasing taxation.
2. The ability of government to
borrow through the issuance of
bonds is becoming increasingly
difficult as a result of the fact
that the government bond mar
ket is approaching the saturation
point.
3. This country is committed to
programs including national de
fense which make it necessary
for public expenditures to con
tinue.
4. We have the greatest amount
of money in circulation in the
history of this country. Much of
this is now hoarded but is likely
to come into circulation at any
moment.
Increased economic activity
under these conditions breeds in
flationary characteristics. These
symptoms can have far-reaching
effects, particularly to the farmer
whose operations are inflexible,
therefore not easily adjusted to
changing conditions. Things can
happen during the "upswing"
and also when the movements
come to a sudden end.
The production of armament is
a man-made movement and is
therefore subject to a sudden
stop with an abrupt change of
policy. The farmer and his vil
lage neighbors who went through
1920 will remember the sudden
termination of armamerft demand

that took place. Accompaning in
flationary action also came to a
halt. Many farmers who had
expanded unwisely during that
"upswing" suffered disastrous
losses.
Despite efforts to control them,
prices will tend to rise through
out the defense program. The
trouble which results comes not
from the rise in prices, but from
the fact that THEY RISE UN
EVENLY. During such a period
the farmer who has little to buy
and much to sell stands the
greatest chance to benefit and
the least chance to lose if he
carefully observes storm warn
ings; providing he does not over
produce toward the end of the in
flationary period. The poultry,
livestock and dairy farmer who
buys his feed must be careful be
cause feed costs usually rise fast
er than the market price of pro
ducts of each of these types of
farming.
The wise farmer today will
keep in close touch with chang
ing conditions. He must avoid
the temptation of unwise specu
lation. He must take advantage
of wise investments, keeping
constantly in mind that defense
is an industry made by man. It
was turned on like a water faucet
and turned off just as easily . . .
each time before the average cit
izen realized it had happened.
It is of vital importance that
whoever shall be charged with
guiding our government during
the coming year must realize at
least one thing: the farmer will
again face trouble unless farm
prices are kept on a par with
other prices.
COOL SPRINGS
The teachers of the junior boys
and girls, Miss Lillian Tucker and
R. C. Harris entertained at a wein
er roast at the home of Mr. Harris

we were glad to have each of
them, and hope they will come
again.
