ANCIENT NEWSPAPER
NEW YORK.—If you buy a paper
from the ragged Urchin in Gaorgw

Fair you will team that Admiral

The real dangers to our system
of government are the continuing
unemployment, continuing farm de-
pression, the continuing stagnation
of business.
Idle men, idle dollars, idle ma-
chines—these are the real threats
to the continuance of the United
States that we know and want to
keep.
It is a short cut to say that pur-
chasing power must be restored, al-
though without purchasing power,
of course, there can be no market f
for goods and services, under our 1
system of doing business.
But there is a growing belief that
purchasing power will not be re-
stored until idle money goes to work. ,

service closed with a baptismal serv-1
ice but we were not informed wheth-
f ®r the candidates were taken to a
creek or pool. A mighty fine idea,
we believe. It may be that our
present day churches are a little
too formal with their order of serv-
ice. It may be that our buildings ■
are too fipe. It may be that those
who attend divine service are too
