The business depression, due to un wise tariff legislation and to some ex tent aggravated by the war, is fast passing. " " . But it should be made to pass imme diately. When factories are again in motion, when trade of all kinds is expanding, the problem of the unemployed will cure itself. But every man who has an income must help. . Go into any store and you will be surprised how cheaply you can buy. Articles that a year ago you thought were beyond your, purse have been greatly reduced. The reduction includes almost every thing from bric-a-brack' up to automo biles. Talk to your dealer about it, and he will show you how immediate pur chases will effect a great saving.

Go to the grocer's or to the dry goods counters in the f i big stores. Compare the prices of, today with those of a year ago. . Inquire about the tendency of prices. You will find that they are going up, instead of going dawn. The purchases that' you majfce will add to a trade revival that will set new factories going, give employment to more men and women. If you hoard your money you will not only deprive yourself of things you want and need, but you will actually lose money In the end for when you must have these things they will cost more. ' There is no extravagance in Intel-' iigent purchasing. Every great manufacturing or raii road corporation has a . department for buying, which studies markets and buys to the best advantage, laying in supplies always when -they are the cheapest. . : Millions of dollars are saved in this way by great industries. ' The same system, on a smaller scale, can be practised In the home,: Unfailing signs point to the coming of the best times this country has ' East, West, North and South will share in It. The man or woman who wants to get his or her share will do well to make" purchases of all kinds before the rise in prices, to get the piano or the motor car or the library that has been the family dream for-years. To do this is not extravagance, it i3 wisdom. And it will bring prosperity imme- j diately, and above solve every finan cial problem that has conirontea me country since the tariff bill was pass- ed. Whatever you need or want, do not put off its purchase. BUY IT NOW! New York Journal.

Some one got out in the street and yelped "hard times," and immediate ly the cry was taken up and handed rrom lip to lip until really began to assume a semblance of truth. And then everybody commenced to tighten the strings to their purses: pennies and dollars were herded and withdrawn from circulation; buying lagged, and apprehension stalked abroad. People imagined we were ih the. midst of hard times. ' The fact that the community held just as much money as ever before was entirely overlooked. The fact that exports, with the pos sible exception of cotton in southern stated, was as heavy as before was also forgotten. Money continued to come into the community from outside sources, but it was promptly hidden away instead of being placed in circulation through the usual business channels. Pessimists barked on every corner, calamity howlers were in their 'ele ment, and even sane men commenced to wbrry. And all. because some fellow opened his mouth and yelled "hard times." But let's put an end to the farce. Let's do. our spring buying early let's do much of it now let's pull our money out of its hiding places and put it to work where it will be of use to ourselves and to the community. And. let's buy our goods, from our home merchants from those who have borne the brunt of the so-called hard times from people we know and I whom we know we can trust. - !

Although Mr. Shipman would not talk in positive terms to the news paper man about running for re-election, he' remarked that the General Assembly just adjourned had "put the office of commissioner on the map.?

"I am glad the ' slate-makers adjourned without being -able to agree upon a candidate to op pose my good friend M. L. Shipman for Commissioner of Labor and Print- ing" next year." said R. O. Self, prin- i t- - " i a J cipai cierK oi uie oeuaie iuuiy ia speaking of the various applicants for State oflices. 'Fact is," . interposed Mr. Self, "about everybody I have heard express an opinion about the matter appeared to be of the same mind and that Is that Commissioner Shipman should be let alone. He is ust now ih the midst of his second term and all are agreed that he makes a ' spjendid officer. To displace him with a new man would be bad business pol icy for the State, and I do not believe it is going to be done two years hence. The people have come to think well of the Department of-Labor and Print ing, and the Legislature appears to have realized something of its value to the State, which all must admit -is largely due to the administrative abil ity of Mr. Shipman, who has worked Vor1 in rtlano it rn fl. hfl.Rs with other State departments.
