Scientific feeding means more eggs.

The happy men and women are those
who havs no obligations to meet, be-
cause they can always conduct their
own affairs to suit their income and
conditions of life.”

Where do our leaders stand now?
Why are they strangely silent today.
What's become of the loquacious Mr.
Henry Ford, who said there could be no
such thing as overproduction?

When things are rosy the big fel-
lows are chockfull of conversation and
mellow prophesies. When things go
haywire, they are not there have
sneaked out the back way,

Neither of Schwab’s statements car-
ry the conviction or sincerity expected
of a man of his station,

As a matter of fact, the average man
who possesses a fair amount of com-
mon sense has come to the conclusion
that the hero-worship we used to ac-
cord these so-called authorities— great
executives of industrial enterprises, in-
vestment advisers, bankers and econ-
omists of the Dr. Kline and Irving
Fisher brand—are just as fallible and
quite as limited in their knowledge of
business fundamentals as is the man
in the street.

The only difference is that they have
been better talkers. We know this now.

We have in these late years been
forced to endure more loose thinking
and loud talking than the human race
has ever known before, This has con-
strained us to hang our heads in shame
—to blush for our stupidity, in having
built up an aureole of wisdom and un-
derstanding around those whom we
