Just as the warâ€"time nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals has been used as a lever to try, to force the government into the electric power business, so v‘vi‘l the need for a flood control dam on the Colorado river be used: for the same purpose. President Coolidge favors building the dam for flood control, a legitimate function of government. But if the proposition is kicked back and forth in congress as long as Muscle Shoals, in an attempt to tack on power development, the Colorado can overflow many times before protection is given, says the Manufacturer‘s That‘s why politics should be kept out of business. It flirts with the nonessential while neglecting essential matters. Muscle Shoals! How many years has that name been batted around in congress. _ â€" But whatever be the actual number, it is rapidly growing. The small owner is getting to be the real capitalist to whom appeal must be made for industrial funds. It is a vital matter whether the corporation income taxes be reduced so as to benefit the small investors. â€" Just now, the smalleinvestor in corporate securities is unfairly taxed, as compared with equal investments in other busiâ€" ness. Only by dealing justly with the small investor in corporate securities can national thrift be fostered. The first seems entirely too low, when Bell Telephone alone has more than 400,000 identified names, and no one person owning one per cent of the stock. The large estimate seems improbable. A close study of newspapers in the largest and most progresâ€" sive cities about now, will show an enormous amount of money being spent in advertising. The managers of these stores have learned from experience that money spent at this time in adverâ€" tising is an excellent investment. It is a time of year that naturally would be extremely dull. Before the days of advertising, merchants must have found little doing in midwinter, and theirexpenses must have been enormousâ€" ly high for the amount of business they were doing. _ Entered Secand Class matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highland Mmi.:nh.l-dnthmdlueha.lflt Published weekly by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, Lake County, Hlinois There are many people who go about not knowing that the sky is blue, that the grass is green, or that trees change color several times a year. Suppose that nature suddenly would change all her colors to one red, for instance.. There are many people who would quickly adjust themselves to the new scheme of things and go about their business as usual. In fact the human race has from the first been subjected to a series of adjustments and this has gone on throughout the long period of evolution, the beginâ€" ning of which no one knows. But we should awaken our souls to the beauty in nature, for beauty in nature rests us more than anyâ€" thing else in the world. This was the message delivered recently by Dr. Edward Howard Griggs in his final lecture in Fullerton Hall, Art Institute. The speaker held his large audience in close attention as he outlined his theories of how culture and beauty reacted on the spirit. It may sound strange, but why can we not consider a flower as a thought of God? We should enter into the spirit of nature and lift ourselves out of the sordid mechanical affairs of every day life. RBy that the speaker said, it was not meant that we should go on picnicing, but to go alone, or with some friend who was sympathetic, and give ourselves up for a space to the deep harmonies of nature. A farmer once gave perâ€" mission to a woman artist to paint a scene on his farm. She worked a day or so at the painting, with the farmer a curious and deeply interested observer. Finally his curiosity overcame him and he asked: "How much will you sell that picture for?" "Oh, about a thousand dollars," the artist replied. "Land sakes, I‘d sell my whole farm for that!" was the astonished comment. The artist has seen in the farmer‘s ranch some beauty that he had never suspected, and she capitalized on her sense of the beauty and picturesque in his humble farm. Advertising in midwinter keeps the trade flowing in evenly. A great many people have learned to expect to see announcements of special bargains at this time of year. They wait for such anâ€" rouncements. and they go to the stores that announce them. The merchants of this city will do a good stroke of business for themselves and to promote the habit of trading here if they adâ€" vertise freely at this time. By one method of calculation, a distinguished actuary figures that there are only about 2,500,000 stockholders im American corâ€" porations. Another estimate, by Prof. Ripley of Harvard, gave it at 14,400,000 in 1923 ; it is estimated at 19,000,000 today. _ . THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1928 Boulder Dam!
