IT seems to have been generally con-
ceded, up to date. that the profitable
hog could only be produced in the corn
growing sections Of the country, but
now there il moro than the disposition
to dispute that point, there is q determi-
nation on the part Of the producers OF
barley and wheat to contest the suPre-
macy OF the corn belt, even il q different
kind OF hog shall be found necessary to
enter the lists. There 10 no doubt but
tho steer and the hog are essential ele-
meuts in the wealth Of the corn belt,
helping amazingly to solve the problem
Of converting the grain into money. at
the least outlay. The general principle
is evidently worthy OF application in
other regions, but they will do we'll, per-
haps, to ponder over the problem before
they actually enter the lists OF producing
the model corn belts hog Of today.

labor to be procured there. II the re-
suits In the south are at all salts

CRISIS FOR GERMANY.
officer of the Beriiner Bank Tells of
the Ciuntry's Financial Straits.

BERLIN, Nov. 6.-"Ten thousand
million marks would not check the
downward plunge OF German indus
tries, said James zutraven, vice di-
rector OF the Berliner Bank, when
asked what measures the banks were
employing to avert universal crash
as a climax of the empires CONNER
cial paralysis.
Realizing the hopelessness OF the
situation, Herr Zutraven, asserts, the
nnanclers OF the country are not at
tempting either to relieve the present
distress or to fortify against the fu-
tllre
"a sudden mere surplus of money
would be of little avail" he continu-
ed, considering the plight in which
Germany is immersed Our present
situation is Enthusiastically the result
of the reaction against unhealthful
conditions. Reaction is the only
cure.
Though the outlook is black, there
is nothing to justify the belief thar
present conditions will result in
general collapse. From three to six
months hence many interests will
have reached point beyond which
further decline will be impossible.
These will include the interests that
are at least capable OF weathering
the storm.
The worst features OF the situa-
ton promise to endure at least year
and the hardships will continuey but
will not necessarily increase. The
chances are all In the other direction.
I'm the meantime. extreme con-
seryatism is the watchword OF those
who control funds. Loans are grant
ed with such reluctance that they
have become almost rarity, and op-
erations of all kinds are brought to a
halt. Corporate and private bust
ness enterprises row close to the
shore. investing and spending money
only where necessity demands.
THE enormous Withdrawals OF de-
posits, while they provided a splen-
did test of the stability of the banks,
left few of them well stocked with
cash. There is only one bank In the
whole of Germany which may be said
to be in easy circumstances. Com
petent observers, hiwever, unite in
the opinion that from the solid basis
reached during the present depress-
ion, Germany will rise to greater and
broader heights than ever before.

taken before the chief of the detec-
es where she confessed that she
had forged the many notes found in

the bank officials of the National

mond the woman said she did not
know just how much money the grip
contained. but 1t was counted out be-

neighborhood Of $4,000.

BREVlTIES.

Pessimism is the product of dys
peptic mind.
Men, here is a solution of the prob
lem-"How to be happy. though mar
ried?" First, get the right sort of a
woman. Lastly, be a man.
The dove of peace which from time
to time is thought to be lowering in
the neighborhood of South Africa, in
variably proves to be crow.
Speculation improves and devel-
ops the minds of men, but usually
produces the reverse effect upon their
purses.
We willingly acknowledge our per-
fections in fear they are SO small
that others will not perceive them.
The mind and the conscience of
man are enemies. for the mind con-
ceives things which the conscience
condemns.
A demagogue is copy of what a
statesman ought to be. and a poor
copy at that. Considering the orig
inal. the copy appears to be the pro-
duct of extreme carelessness.
If the average political orators
mind was as strong and active as his
tongue and arms, Webster's master
pieces would fade from memory like
a shadow before the sun.
To justify ones faults by 'poin'
to similar faults in mankind generally
is cowardice. But 1t shows one
prefers being slave among the many
