Three Bears and
Goldilocks
By MARY CARR
<2>. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
ONCE upon a time there were three
bears—a great big bear, a middle
sized bear ami a little bear. . . .
The great big bear was John Hol
man. He was twenty-four, and he was
an exceedingly attractive young man.
He was a bear. Barbara said so.
The middle-sized bear was Hollis
Holman. He was fifty-live, and an
exceedingly attractive middle-aged
man. But he was a bear—Barbara
said he was.
The little bear was Darius Holman.
He was seventy-nine, and he was a
most lovable old man. Barbara said
he was. But she also said he was a
bear. And Barbara knew.
Barbara was the Goldilocks of this
story, and she lived In the house of
the three bears. She had recently
come there to live, as the wife of the
great big bear. Now, on a soft Jufte
morning, she sat at breakfast looking
most tantallzlngly attractive.
“You're Just bears, all of you,” said
Barbara. “And I’m not going to pay
a bit of attention to what any of
you say. I'm going to take John’s car,
and father Hollis’ raincoat, because I
haven't any and I might have to get
out, and grandfather Darius' money,
and I'm going right straight over that
mountain all by myself, no matter
what you think. Give me ten dollars,
grandfather, will you, because John's
so cross I don’t like to ask him for
any."
Grandfather Holman chuckled as he
reached for his wallet. “I think you’re
a stubborn young lady, Barbara," he
said, "but ns you'd go whether I
helped you out or not, why here
It is.” lie took out a twenty-dollar
bill and handed it to his grandson’s
wife.
•‘I wish you wouldn’t, Goldilocks,”
said young John. “It’ll be sklddy ns
the dickens on those high hills. Why
can’t you telephone—send ’em a check
and telephone you can't come?”
“It Isn’t Just the money they want—
though grandfather was a darling to
give me all this. But It’s that they
want me, too. I’ve got to go.”
In the end both Jim and Hollis Hol
man gave money to Barbara for Har
vest Home day at her pet charity, the
Children’s hospital at Brompton.
“But be careful," cautioned her hus
band as he and his father got Into his
car to drive to business. “What
time’ll you be home?”
*‘Oh, by five o’clock, anyway. Don’t
worry. John. I’ll be careful.”
When John and his father got home
that night from work they entered the
warm, lighted house with anticipation.
A howling storm raged outside.
"Here’s grandfnther," called John
from the living room. "So you won't
have to tnke the car down to meet the
bus for him. Too bad. grandfather,
we didn’t get home earlier to meet
you. Slow traveling, though. In this
weather. Where's Goldilocks?”
“I don’t know,” said the old man.
”1 Just got In three minutes ago—and
stopped here to warm my bones on
the way upstairs.”
John dashed upstairs. Their room
was empty. And just at that moment
his father came running breathlessly
In from the garage. “Just ran the
car in," he said, "to get it out of the
storm. Goldilocks’ car isn’t there."
"I know," said John. Grandfather
Darius Joined them in the hall. The
three men looked at each other.
“Those slippery roads,” said Darius.
“What’ll we do?" demanded John.
"I’ll telephone the hospital." said
Hollis.
“I’ll go upstairs and get my rain
coat on,” said John—"so if I have to
drive over that way, you know—”
Hollis had trouble with the tele
phone. But finally he was told that
the wires to Brompton were down.
"Well," John said—‘‘guess I'll have
to go over to Brompton—over the road
she took.”
“I’m going too." said grandfather
Holman. “I'm not going to sit home
here and wonder what’s happening.”
And grandfather Holman started up
stairs. “I’m going to get my winter
overcoat." he said. "It’s in a moth
bag in my closet”
A moment later a hoarse shout came
from upstairs. “Holman! John!" he
failed. ‘Come here." __
WHAT DEFLATION MEANS
By Fvofe.-for G. F. Warren, of
Cornell University, one of the
i nation’s foremost economists.
_
Effects of Continued Deflation
(Continued from last week.)
The size of fire insurance pol
icies will be reduced, losses
will be increased, and rates will
probably be raised.
Innumerable prices which
have not declined will fall.
Some of these are freight rates,
telephone charges, price of
newspapers, doctors’ fees,
dentists’ fees, and telegraph
charges. Large numbers of
corporations will disappear by
bankruptcy or by combinations
to avoid bankruptcy. Whole
sale writing down of the capi
tal of industrial plants, farms
and city real estate will be
necessary. Costs of distribut
ion will gradually decline, so
that prices paid to farmers
will again come into adjust
ment with the prices which
they pay. Much of this can be
1 done in a half-dozen years.
Pr obably it can be completed
in a generation.
Some basic commodity prices
have fallen too' low even for
the conditions and will rise.
Innumerable measures will be
Itried in attempts to hold up
! prices of this or that thing.
Tariffs, bounties, farm boards,
domestic allotments, restrict
ions on trade between States
under sanitary and other guis
es, pools, gentlemen’s agree
ments, and many others will
continue to be tiied. Some of
these may do a little good but
they will continue to result in
disillusion and disappointment.
Maintaining the present price
of gold means bringing the
whole debt and price structure
down. To attempt to hold
each individual thing up and
yet bring down the whole is
like sinking a sTiip to hold up
each rivet and doorknob in it.
Nothing is gained by minim
i izing the gravity of the situ
j ation. Repeated confidence
statements can not change the
facts. They discredit leader
ship and cause losses to innum
When John and Holman precipitate
l.v answered his hurried call they Up
toed behind him, at the behest of the
tinker held warnlngly over Ills lips,
into the guest room. In the beam of
the flashlight with which the old man
had armed himself to help In the
■ search of Barbara they saw her—
! Goldilocks curled up on grandfather
Holman's bed, under a warm com
forter.
“Oh—’’ said Goldilocks, sleepily,
opening starry eyes. "Why, what’s
the matter? Why the fancy light?
What time Is it?”
Goldilocks stretched luxuriously and
; then jumped nimbly to her feet.
"Sorry, grandfather," she said. "It’s
like Goldilocks getting caught by the
three bears. You see, I was cold, nnd
this northeaster made our room like a
barn, so 1 came In here to lie down.
You weren’t worried, were you?”
“But where’s your car?” asked her
father-in-law.
“Yours, you mean, don’t you dear?”
laughed Barbara. “I ran off the road
—but it was right down In the village.
Sr the garage man there brought me
home and he’s hauled the car to his
garage to fix a flat—guess that’s what
made me run off the road. Well, come
on, Three Bears, and let’s get ready
I for dinner.”
erable individuals through
false hopes. While the count
ry has never before experi
enced as great deflation as we
are now attempting, we have
had experiences which indi
cate the probable length of the
deflation disease. It usually
takes six cr seven years to go
far enough with the bankrupt
cy process so that construction
can begin, and it takes many
more years fully to complete
the process.
If we are going through with
deflation, debt adjustment
commissions are desirable to
operate for a number of years.
The legal system of writing
down debts works badly
enough when only a few bank
rupt properties are thrown on
the market. It destroys values
for both the creditors and
lenders when applied in a
wholesale way. A creditor of
ten takes over a home or a
farm, keeps it in hopes of a
3ale until the carrying charges
eat up much of the value. In
the meantime, the property de
preciates. Finally, in despair,
a shoe-string sale is often made
to a less desirable buyer than
the dispossessed owner. Debt
adjustment commissions should
study each case and make rec
ommendations for settlement
for all creditors. Such recom
mendations from a disinterest
ed party would save many own
ers and help many lenders and
would keep many of the cases
| out of the courts.
If the government lending
igeneies wish to lend more
money,.they will do more good
! by taking up the safer part of
the underlying mortgages in
;uch cases than by direct loans
;o the lending corporations,
which do not get at the root of
the trouble.
While it is not the purpose of
this discussion to consider what
the individual can do for him
self, I should like to insert one
piece of advice to the millions
of farmers and city home own
ers who are losing their homes
and lifetime savings. If one
has a good farm, it seems to
me the best thing to do is to
i etain possession of it as long as
possible, in the hope that some
temporary rise in prices or pos
sibly a monetary change will
enable him to keep the proper
ty. If he gives up, the savings
are surely gone. He has little
to lose from holding on as long
as any slight chance remains.
The man who has failed in
business or is out of work is
, blamed for it, and he often
blames himself. This is adding
insult to injury. Most of the
failures are not due to unsound
business but to unstable money,
for which no individual is to
blame. The farmer or business
man who has failed should not
be despondent or commit sui
cide. He should feel like a man
who has just gone through a
tornado, stripped of his proper
ty but escaped with his life.
His family and friends should
treat him accordingly.
