Spend A Little More.
I
i
Thrift is commendable; ev
eryone who can should save
something. But while extrava-,
gant spending is harmful, too
•imuch hoarding is equally det
rimental, according to leading
- economists.
-s For several months there has
-;been an unusual percentage of
unemployed in this country, as
- in the rest of the world. This
-has decreased the total buying
power of the public. But the
-lightening of purse-strings by
those who are still employed
.•'and are able to buy has re-'
-duced consumption to an even 1
f greater extent.
“ What is needed right now in
’order to aid in restoring nor
'mal conditions is more libera!
spending on the part of those
"hvho have money to spend for
things they really can use and ,
Peed. At no time since the '
World War has it been possi
- ble to buy to greater advan
tage than now. In spite of this
'•fact, this country is again ex
periencing what is really a I
‘•‘“buyers strike.” The return
v-of general prosperity is imposs
ible so long as this attitude is |
-maintained by those who have
i;money to spend.
1! It has been pointed out that
the additional spending of ten
cents a day by every one of the
120 million people of the Unit
ed States would increase the
‘nation’s business to the extent
"of more than four billion dol
lars a year. Of course, the un
employed can not spend this
extra ten cents a day, but mil
lions of people can easily spend
' and additional dollar or more
•la day to good advantage and
hardly miss it.
'' It is sound advice, then, to say
aio those who can 'afford it:
!“Buy what you need while
'prices are low; employ a little
'•'extra labor that you can use to
"advantage; stop hoarding and
put more -moijey ipto circulat
o.
ion.”
By following this advice the
more fortunate elements of our
cieizenship may do much to ac
cellerate the return of prosper
ity.

Political Gestures
Widespread comment has
followed the recent declar
ation by Democratic leaders
that they will not seek to ob- i
struct the Hoover administrat
ion in its efforts to solve the 1
country’s present economic
problems, nor oppose other j
be neficial legislation. This of- ■
ter of cooperation has been ac
cepted by the Republicans, and
now we shall see what we shall
see.
A great deal depends, of ,
course, upon just what pro
posed legislation the Demo- !
crats will consider beneficial.
Besides, it is obvious that the j
’.eaders of neither party will be
able to control the actions 01 |
votes of their colleagues who !
are in the habit of showing in- j
lependence of party authority. |
That the Democratic leader? j
have signified their willingness
to waive party advantage in |
the interest of the common j
good is commendable enough. !
How this idea will work out in
practice remains to be seen. j
Both parties have their eyes
on the presidential election of
1932, and it is hard to believe
that either will voluntarily re
lenquish any advantage that
may be taken by reason of the
other’s mistakes.
Politics is politics, and real
cooperation by opposing part
ies is so rare that the average
citizen is justified in taking
the recent statements by both
sides with the proverbial grain
of salt.
Some Job.
While we are on the political
strain we will add that Sena-j
tor Brookhart has suggested |
that the West and South unite i

for political action. The Out
look nominates th6 Senator for
the job of uniting them. •'
Just for Fun
-o
The 1930 corn crop is poor
in many states. The liquid form
is said to be poor in all of them.
Unfortunately, a quiet home
wedding doesn’t insure quiet
home life thereafter.
Farmers know crop acreage
should be reduced, but most oi
them want their neighbors to
do the reducing.
Native Filipinos consider the
birth of twins an ill omen. A
good many Americans have a
similar superstition.
The Wisconsin girl who killed
a bear with a rolling pin prob
ably killed her chances of get
ting a husband at the saint
time.
What has become of the old
fashioned man who believed
election of senators by popular
vote would improve their qual
ity.
Crime cost the United States
more than seven billion dollars
last year, and the Pathfinder
remarks that we had quite a
bit of crime to show for it.
The old joke about doing
Christmas shopping early is
being revived.
In a democracy the people
-rule, but too often it is the
wronk crowd.
Few people do enough good
turns to make them dizzy.
Most people are eager to
learn about business, especially
other people’s.
Mable: “So Maurice and you
ire to be married? Why, I
thought i t was a mere flirt
ation.”
Helen: “So did Maurice.”
• WHATS NEW?
A new eleetical device locks
and unlocks a door by pressing
i button fixed in the wall of a
•oom.
Safe photography in dark
less has been made possible by
i new flashlight bulb which
eliminates noise, smoke, and
glaring light. v
A huge cotton picking ma
chine has been invented which
extracts the cotton from the
bolls at the rate of four bales
a day.
The Stenode Radio-Stat syst
em, one of radio’s newest mar
vels, is said to eliminate static
to a surprising degree and en
ables such select tuning that
stations within a 10th of a de
gree on the dial can be sepa
lated.
Turning out 40,000 bricks an
hour is the remarkable work
of a newly designed automatic
machine.
A radio equipped motor
truck, with 12 dynimic loud
speakers, radio and phono
graph pick-up devices, has
been developed as a substitute
for parade bands.

The snow tractor for use in
hauling ore from the Premier

taken up in front of the Pre
mier office, where an interest
ed crowd of boosters did their
best to make it run. The engine
was cold and the day passed
without a buzz on*: of the big
machine. The tractor is a pe
culiar looking affair, the power
being supplied by two cigar
shaped cylinders under the
body, which are bound wi .h
spiral cleats to grab the snow
and drive the machine ahea 1.
The weight of the machine is
4500 pounds.
