THE COUNTRY MERCHANTS

Feel the Confidence Inspired by Founti-
full Crops, and Ruy Literally.
r. D. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says:
The prohibition of exports Of rye by Rus
STA because of official declaration that
famine is impending has suddenly affected
the grain markets of the world. Crop pros
poets grow brighter every day, and with as
surance that the country will not only have
enormous supplies of grain, but a market
for it at good prices. business is improving
throughout the North. The movement be-
gins close to the farms; country merchants
are buying more freely, and their pur-
chases are felt by wholesalers and manu-
facturers. In the main the interior
money markets are in fairly good
condition, excepting at the South,
and at Philadelphia confidence is gaining.
If Europe is able to send cash for all the
food it will require this year it is probable
that this country will not lack money long.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days
number, for the United States zoe, and for
Capada 25, or total of 227, as compared
with total of 231 last week and PAT the
week previous to the last. For the cor-e-
spending week of last year the figures were
1917, representing TIA failures in the United
States and % in the Dominion of Canada.

Work Sad Havoc in Several Towns, Nota-
bly, at Ellsworth.
A most terrific storm struck Ellsworth,
Mimi, and left the town pretty complete
wreck. A dark cloud with greenish tint
along its edges came swirling In from the
northwest and crushed everything in it's
path The Iowa, Minnesota, and Dakota ele-
vator was completely blown to pieces. The
Congregational Church was partially blown
down. The dwelling of D. +. Cramer was
thrown from it's foundation, and the
Burlington depot suffered great
damage about the west end. Several
box cars were hurled from the track. No
lives were lost. There is not building in
the village that was not hit by the storm
The loss will reach $4,000. Around Lake
Benton, st. Cloud Fulda and Worthington,
the storm was very severe, the wind and
hail leveling what promised to be the larg-
est crops in the history of the country.

ROTTEN TTMBERs
Cause the Death and Maimsng of Nearly
Forty People.


Forty People.
Sixteen people met death in one of its
most terrible forms at Cold Spring Grove,
Long Island. Their lives were crushed out
of them. Twenty others, perhaps more,
were injured, some of them fatally. They
were members of an excursion party, COM
posed of the employees of Theodore Kayser,
a dry goods merchant of Brooklyn, E. d.,
and their friends. They left Brooklyn on
the steamer Sylvan Stream and the barge
Republic. During the four hours trip to
the grove they danced and sang. They
ate their lunches in the grove and had re-
embarked and were about to start on their
return when mighty squall Of wind struck
the barge, raising one portion of the roof
and dashing it down on the other, crushing
to death the people beneath it. All the
reports of the catastrophe agree that it
could not have occurred had the barge been
a vessel of proper strength It's ti1nbers are
reported to have been rotten.

BOMBARDED THE SKIES.
FarweIPs Rain Makers Are Abundantiy
successful in Texas.

Farwe1Ps Rain Makers Are Abundantiy
successful in Texas.
The rainfall expedition sent out by
the United States Department. Of Agri-
culture under the charge of r. G. Dy-
renforth arrived at Midland, Tex, last
week, and has scored It's first success.
Last week was spent in conveying the
supplies to the ranch of Nelson Morris,
of Chicago, which is located twenty
three miles north of Midland. A part
of the apparatus was set up and test
of it was made in which a number OF
blasts were fired.
The explosions of "rackarock" bombs
caused great conclusions, and were
heard and felt distinctly at a cOnsideI d.
bic distance from the field of operations.
The explosives were all fired from the
ground by means of electric batteries.
The trial was made primarily to test the
apparatus, and was not calculated to be
on a scale extensive enough to secure
rain. However in about ten hours after
the explosions clouds began to form and
gather over the Morris ranch and sur
rounding country, and about seventeen
hours after the operations the rain be-
gan to fall in cOpiouS quantities.
The storm seemed to gather directly
over the ranch and the fall of the rain
was heaviest at that point The storm
extended ove~ a space of 1000 square
miles and at the ranch the rain contin-
ued to fall for a space of six hours.
About two inches fell at that point
This storm breaks drought Of long du-
ration in this locality and is the best

WILL MOVE TO AMBER ON.

De Pauw Plate, Glass Works to Be Taken
from New Albany, Ind.
Southern Indiana is likely to lose one OF
its biggest industries in the removal Of the
immense De Pauw Plate Glass Works from
New Albany, Ind, to Anderson. in the
northern part of the State, and Chicago will
profit by the change. One of the largest
items OF expense in the plate glass business
is for fuel, and this will practically be
eliminated by the removal to Anderson,
where natural gas is obtainable for next to
nothing. Full arrangements for the trans
fer have not as yet been perfected and the
change may not be made for some time,
owing to the magnitude of the undertaking,
as the plant employs ali the way from
eight hundred to thirteen hundred men.
