Next 4 Years in United
States to Mark New Era*
Above and beyond the vagaries
of partisan politics, it must be
apparent to any understanding
and unbiased observer that tbe
DPXt four years of American gov-
ernment and business will un-
doubtedly be outstanding in our
history.
There can be no discounting
tbe development of a still unreal-
ized greatness.
Electric progress promises a
nmv era for tbe farmer, and for
-industry. Tbe radio is reaching
that point of perfection where
any person in the world may
t-oon be in touch with his fellow
v inwniuany couutry. Our rail-
roads are performing unprece-
dented service. The great field
opened by the evolution of the
airplane in in its very infancy.
Progress such as this is the re-
sult of our American idea of en-
couraging private initiative and
enterprise. We have been stead-
- fast in our support of American
ideals; the American social indus
• trial principle of liberty of
" thought and action.
Before there can be material
progress, there must be a back-
ground of mental and spiritual
progress and stability for the in-
dividual. It is our American
consciousness—our feeling for
tbe principles and institutions
established by our forefathers—
that makes all we have done and
will do, possible.
Tbe potentialities and the pos-
sibilities for the next four years
are unlimited.—Echo.

Is Progress Based on Canning Process?
3S the perfection of otir processes
for preserving foods responsible
for the modern world's remark-
able progress? Is our present day
Civilization epitomized in an ordinary
tin can of preserved food? "The
Canning Trade thinks so, and re-
cently justified its opinion in a rc-
narkable editorial. Under the head-
ing "Becoming World Wide" this
magazine said:
Canning Foods Grew Rapidly
"Considering how rapidly the
canning of food products grew in
these United States, and in North
America gene'fally, and particularly
taking into view the immense im-
portance, convenience and palata-
bility of the food in" cans, the won-
der is that other nations did not
follow our lead and install canning
as their main food reserve.
"Of course, there has always been
some canning done in all countries
of the globe; the house of Appcrt,
in Franne, for instance, continuing
to this tfay to produce canncd foods.,
But even this now famous house
turns out a <?uant?ty that would
compare only with the fair-sized
home-tanning outfit iij our country.
And that remains largely true with
the so-called commercial canneries
of France, Germany. Sweden. Nor-
way and Spain, though the fish can-
ners in the north and the Italian
earners have reached a nro.'-'ttion
which entitles them to exception.
"But since the great v-sr. and the
prominent part canned foods p'aved
in it, even as they vllel .ir nr Cjvil
Wir. *nd which nmHe the earning
industry in America, the cannjncr
nf foods has stend'Iv arrnwn ?n all
countries of th$ globe, and there
is an immense amount of interest
shown everywhere and a desire
to know more about the business
and how to conduct it. In other
w6rds, the whole world is now
taking hold of canned foods, and
we may expect to sec it grow, even
as it has grown in this country,
though in no other coantry to the
huge bulk it has assumed in our
country.
"England has been the latest to
show a definite drift towards the
establishment of the canning in-
dustry as a means of gAvin# surplus
food crops, and in her character-
istic, thorough manner has gone to
the bottom of the matter and is
buildini? up, slowly but steadily and
well, Following the efforts to sol-
idify the industry in the home
country, we may expect to see
her Colonies take tip the procedure
and to build the whole into a worth-
while and prominent industry.
explains here that
Cnmufa h'.'t¥ aftvriys been reckoned
with us in the development of the
canning industry.)
"There u nothing surprising in
this awakening of the "world to
the value andf importance of the
canncd foods industry, because 'it'food* with all their natural sue-
was bound to cm-f. We have long
claimed, and without fear of suc-
cessful contradiction, wc believe,
that the gri-at advancement of the
world is due to the discovery and
introduction pi the method of pre-
serving food by canning
"It mav be a wre coincidence,

a steady supply of nutritious foods
—and which only canning makes
possible—prpj'pjeas was halting and
slow. But srncc that day when
Appcrt proved the correctness of
his theory liistory has gone for-
ward ivith leaps' and bounds in
every etfort of mankind.
Human Frogrcss New Rapid
"Turn back {a your history and
note that for the' about seven thou-
sands years of recorded hfstory
previous to Appert's time, mankind
had developed no way to provide
even for a few days in advance
his necessary food supplies, not
even through preservation through'
ice. He had, of course, learned to'
dry some foods; to taks the grain
crops and the root crops and tUxft
them against the winter months,
nnd had ventured very slightly
preservation tltfotigh sugar but,
with all these, scurvy continued as
a dreaded evil that held men t'd'
their homes and caused arrive*, ex-
plorations and almost every hrnnait'
endeavor to hesitate, and vet*j>'
properly so, because man was
poorly fed, and a poorly fed mar*
is not a good worker.
"Came the method of preserving'
ciileitee and food value, through
*he instrumentality of canning, and
the world took wings and spread
out to the wonders you *ee on every
hand today. Compare th<* develop-
ments of the worid in thoie frnt

developments of fhr oust 12.1 v- «
and you have the' nirtu-/> n!i!ch we
