When The Worms Are Scarce, What Does A Hen Do? Does She Stop Scratching? She Does Not. She Scratches All The Harder. A Lot Of Businessmen Have Been Showing Less Sense Than A Hen Since Orders Became Scarce. They Have Laid Off Salesmen; They Have Stopped Or Reduced Their Advertising; They Have Simply Resigned Themselves To Inaction And, Of Course, To Pessimism.
