THE TREND NOW UPWARD
So far in thi year of 1921 conditions in nearly
all lines of industry and business have been unsatisfac-
tory all over the country and it may be doubted if
anywhere there has been profit in operations. Nei-
ther has labor profited overmuch, except where skilled
workers have be,.m able to maintain their high wages
.,without re,t:ricted time.
In fact, there has been a general marking of trine
during the readjustment period while the individual as
well as the industry has been "subsisting on its fat" and
making'little demand for new material. Naturally such
unhealthy condition has brought no good to anyone, and
none have been able to escape the adverse influence. This
• has been largely due to the state of the public mind and
whenever the individual collectively decides to make a
move forward--presto, the "boom" is on.
It is safe to assert that the bottom has been reached
and conditions ripe for this collective moving. The bulk
of old stocks has been moved; old foods are cleaned out,
and the farm and industry are now facing a universal de-
mand for the new, and this demand must start the wheels
of industry moving generally to care for the needs of the
people. In most lines the lowest price levels have al-
ready been reached and we need not be surprised to find
the trend of prices upward in the near future. In fact
this trend is already noted in products of the farm, which
were the first to feel the slump and suffer from the re-
stricted demands.
t
For best results the backbone needs to be more prdm-
lnen t than the wishbone.
ALL READY TO GO
Mason County has not fared worse than in other sec-
tions; in fact has enjoyed some advantages, and Shelton
has been particularly favored. Lumbering, still the main
source of our circulating medium in this county, has not
been entirely closed during the summer, and in Shelton
improvements have kept the local crews at work, while
more business buildings have been built than for the pre-
vious eight years, keeping home labor employed. During
:August all the larger logging operations are expected to
resume, and our troubles locally will be over.
The substantial advance made' in Shelton in the build-
ing way, and the frequent purchase of home properties,
should offer encouragement for the future and stimulate
others to take advantage of the lull now to profit by
later adyances, and to build new homes: That lumber,
materials or labor, or any one of the building items, will
be cheaper than at this time, is most unlikely, and that
living from this time forward will slowly advance is in-
dicated by the signs.
With a good foundation, a sound credit and price and
wage approaching their proper level, Shelton and Mason
County is ready to "go."
There may be two sides to criticsm, but either side
acts as a "bracer."
AFFLUENCE.
We talk about hard times in this country, yet when
conditions are compared with those abroad, we are in
comparative affluence. It has come to this in America--
we don't know when we really are well off. We have
coddled and humored ourselves, have demanded so many
things as necessities that used to be regarded as luxuries,
that we have lost our perspective. We know little about
economy or sensible living. Instead of making any at-
tempt at retrenchment, most of us want to go right on ex-
tending ourselves. When the whole country goes on a
"jazz" like this, something is bound to happen. It did
happen and now we are trying to patch up the machinery
and get 'er going again. But we will have to forget
"jazz" for a while and get down to brass tacks which
means in the main--work and save.--Washington State

THE COST OF ]XPERIMENTING
The facts that are coming to light in' regard to th.e
government shipbuilding program almost stagger belief.
According to the new chairman, A. D. Lasker, the
Shipping Board went through $680,000,000 for the year
ending June 30, 1921. And now the board is asking $300,-
000,000 as a deficiency appropriation.
Lasker says the total expenditures of the board are
hard to estimate due to "the deplorable state of the books
which, if kept for the specific purpose of cloaking fraud,
could not have been better. One thing is certain, there

there are not more errors than do

This little talk may sound like
"shoo talk" to most of our readers
but it occurs to us it may be worth
while to a fair percentage of our
readers who often thoughtlessly crit-

The government is holding $83,000,-
000 in interest pas due on liberty
bonds aggregating ifi fae value more
than a billion dollars. The money
has not been paid because the holders
of the temporary bonds have notpre-

permanent bonds.
There may be two explanations for
failure to collect the interest. Some
people may not need the money and
prefer to let the government kee
