dressed of wns A Curious Phenomenon HAT more curious fact in our present life is there than this: That a series of words which, when spoken, receive no respect or attention, will, if reduced to type and printed on paper, be read with unconscious rever- ence and a sense of authority? The process is about as follows: A man who thinks he knows about something of which he has probably (and fruitlessly) been talking to his associates for weeks and months, or maybe years, reduces it to writing and takes it to another man, This other man (publisher or editor) has capital and makes his living solely by the idea that anything which is printed is much more important than when it is spoken. He thereupon “issues” that which the man has prepared, and a lot of other men (reviewers) immediately proceed to advertise it in a way that is aston- ishing when we calmly reflect that if the author had called upon them at their offices and attempted to repeat to them beforehand, word for word, all that he has written, they would doubtless have pitched him out of the window. “Why This Boom in Holstein Cattle?” There is no hoom in Holsteins, and never was, just a natural expansion and demand, owing to the increasing tecognition of a superiority that has always existed. do not go blindly into things these days.

An American Turning Point NE of the great turning points in American development, the sociologists tell us, came a decade or so ago with the exhaustion of the free land of the public domain. America was a land of glorious opportunity so long as a man could readily pull up stakes and move a little farther westward. With free land a man goes to work where he pleases, and all the product of his labor is his own. When land is not free, he must hunt up an employer, and all the product of his labor goes to the landlord except a small fixed wage. In a land of “ glorious opportunity” man’s principal struggle is with Mother Nature. The glorious opportunity departs when, in addition to struggling with Mother Nature, one also must struggle with Brother Man.
