MUCH NEEDED ENLIGHTENMENT.
keeping up production and continuing the great prosperity engendered by*
the war. ||'nder the direction <>f the Department of lj»hor Information and
l-.ducation Service, the country is being educated to the fact that the basic
clement of industrial prosperity is the amount of goods or products purchased
by the public. Ac.ordtag to the amount the public buys are measured the
of the commodities it purchases there is a falling off in the demand for the
I roducts of mill and factory which inevitably causes a decrease in the volume
situation is exactly reversed end industrial stagnation follows. Only by
kejSt up to the standard which spells Industrial prosperity—which nIso means
a step which will serve the two fold purpose of perpetuating the high state
national prosperity is based. Veedb-ss to say the latter is something that
the American people need. Then* is probably no enlightened country in the
world where the average person is so little aware of the facts on which the
national economic situati >n rests as in America. Hardly one person in ten
they live. That such understanding is essential to a proper solution «»f the I
tu'tion’s economic problems will scarcely be doubted by any j who hale given ,
the slightest study to the subject ,.t relieving the high co* ..f living or kin*;
dred M'onomie^ problems which ^ must be solved .before the country cun be
ultimately develop into a revolution.
EXPORTS AND THE H. C. L.
After the primary result of our curtency inflation, undoubtedly quite
a part of the high cost of living in this country is due to the large exports of
foodstuffs. The latest report of the Department of Commerce shows exports
of breadstuff's during the ifist fiscal year*to the amount of $951,000,000 dollars
as compared with $633,000,000 for the year ending June 30. 1918. During the
last year before the war. ending June 3<>. 1914. our foreign sales of breadstuff*
amounted to only $165,000,000. our exports of meat and dairy products
during the twelve months ended June 30 amounted to $1,167,000,000 as com
pared with $146,000,000 during the last year before the war. Not taking into
consideration numerous minor articles of food, these two classes, breadstuff.*
and meats and dairy products, show an export value of approximately $2,000.
000,000 greater than during the year before the war. *
This is only $20 per capita, or about $100 per family per year, but
it is this surplus going to Europe that creates a scarcity in America. In
addition to these exports, we have been sensling immense quantities of food
to Fiance to feed our own armies.
That the signing of the armistice luis little effect upon exports of food
stuffs is indicated by the fact that during the month of June. 1919, our exports
of the commodities above named amounted to $292,000,000 as compared with
$132,000,000 during June, 1918, when we were in tjic midst of war. And.
apparently America will be expecteg. to contribute largely to the feeding (ft
Europe even after this year's crops have been harvested.

forms of sport which tend to create clean minded healthy men and women.
pr. McMillen told his congregation that he has written a prayer for the
success of the Cincinnati Red's in the forthcoming world series in which
lr asks Ood to grant the local players keen eye and many runs.

4 The percent of gross revenues spent by successful merchants for 4

4 The merchant who argues, that it would be necessary for him. 4

4 his goods is not in step with the spirit of these times. He does 4
4 not understand the economic value of advertising—which, by speed- 4

4 Adequate advertising, carrying real Information about goods, is 4
4 the guarantee to the customer of protection from high prices and from 4
