THE “MATTER WITH AMERICA” (From the Fargo .3. D.) Forum) What’s the matter with America these days? • Too many diamonds, not enough blue flannel ones. Too many pointed-toed shoes, and not enough squared-tood ones. Too many serge suits and not CitOUgh overalls. Too much <> Mete and not enough aprons. Too many satin-upholstered limou sines and not enough cows. Too many consumers and not enough producers. Too much oil stock and not enough savings accounts. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it. Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price. Too much of the spirit of “get while the getting is good” and not enough of the old-fashioned Christianity. ,i Mr. Edward S.
