fHU "(luurumy Survey," just Issued by the (luarunty J
Trust Company of Xew York, finds thut the your ,
ldl'l 1ms marked a turning point In the long reaction '
against infliilion in this country ami that American busi- ;
iicss activity linn boon "for some months sradually emetR-j
Iiir from the trough of depression." ,
"Moreover." the Survey pocs on. "for the most part j
industrial production docs not yet fully reflect the sub-
stantial improvement that has been effected in the funda-
mental business tacloi s, such as decline In interest stocKs
of commodities and the comparative stabilization of price
at lower levels."
It finds that the successful fruits of the arms con
ference, taken with other world factors, cannot fail to re
ad favorably on trade, and says that while exports have
fallen since last January from a monthly total of Jtit-,000,-000
to around JWO.nno.OUO clctulled analyses shows that
lower prices had a relatively greater effect In reducitiK
the tjital than did a de. reuse in the "volume of business.
In some commodities-, the volume .increased over the pre
ceding year.
'The most RrutifyinjT aspect of the year's Industrial
events." the Survey continues, "is the upturn during tin
last few months in the general volume; of production in
the country, which about mitfNiiuiiner had reached its
lowest point since; ll'H. .UiIioiikIi noine of the increase

CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED
rpilliRE was a heavier Christinas l.usines, in the
United States in W2 than in 1020. Market re
ports from all sections of the country show thai ;
. wholesalers sent out more poods than a year ago ,
;ind retail merchants in "radically all the cities have1
reported a heavier business than in 102(1. j
This increase in the volume of business is fraught ,
with much meaning to the country. Christmas buy--ing
is almost exclusively luxury buying, i'.y far the
greater amount of merchandise and toys that are
1-urchased for the holidays is made up of .-uch
classes of merchandise as could be well gotten along
without as far as actual living necessities are con
cerned. It follows then that American business men are
ready to buy luxuries. That could not mean any
thing except that confidence has been re.torcd. I
Men are no longer afraid to spend what they have.
The fear that they will not be able to restore
their supply of money has been overcome. Tear is
the worst enemy business ever had. Fear .eetn.s to 1
have taken its flight, confidence has come to take its
( lace. This is not a mere empty remark. It is back
ed by actual trade conditions ami based upon the in-!
crease- of expenditures.
. Confidence produces normal buying. Normal
buying puts factories 10 work. Factories give em
ployment to labor,
The Survey finds the upturn is most marked In the
textile industry and less so In t lie iron ami steel industry.
; Steel, which was tti per cent below normal in .Inly, lias
"I advanced to 4 below. Textile production, which was 41
per cent below normal last December, advanced until in 1
(September it was 12 per cent above. Cotton consumption
" ! has increased each month since August.
I 'Production in many other lines of maiHifaoiuriiiK,"
' the Survey adds, "has also shown pronounced increase
over the low points of the year. Especially is this true of
manufactures of paper, lumber, tobacco, leather and:
foodstuffs. These increases in volume of proportion rep
resent not merely seasonable advances, but more substan
tial Rains, indicating; that readjustment of industry, lower
prices and costs of operation are producini; the desired , re- ,
suits."

One of the silliest of human delusions is the idea that
time will bring everything out all right. Haven't you
heard people get that off and then pro-
feed to do nothing whatever with time".
The most pitable business failure I knowi
of was due to a self-deluded individual
in the concern who did nothing but counjl
sol the ffrPiit Ihintrst lhat timi waa cnintl
to do for the business. Just wait, wai
his advice. "What we need is tim
Leave it to time." So they did. An
in time the business decayed.
Foolish pcoplo have all porta of thing
to time. Some lea the question of ill
limit h to time. Others leave the ques
tion of thrift to time. Only today I heard

I suppose he thinks that Iod cures for the ravens, and;
that (tod will take tare of him. CJotl will no doubt care;
for him just as He cares for the ravens. Hut ravens
don't live until they lose their jobs because of old age.
Neither do they ret iu ire steam heated apartments, under
clothes, and hair mattresses to sleep on.
Left to itself, time is nothing but a grand little passer.
Look how it passes in the desert ami in the Arctic circle.
Plenty of time but no potatoes.
Don't leave anything to Father Time. He won't d
anything for you. He can't. All he does is to 'provide
you room in which to perform. If you sit in the corner
and wait for him to do your job, you'll be disappointed
Father Time is only a sort of janitor in the emploj
of the Almighty. He sees the tenants come and go
Hut he has nothing to do with any of them, cares noth
ing about them. When you etner the arena ho may botj
