Sith little interruption from labor con-
roversies.
Extended holidays abroad and a
short one in this country have tended
10 make the grain markets unusually
quiet, while corn has had the added
drawback OF hesitation among traders
who have not yet recovered from the
effects OF manipulation in the May OPP

out OF this market by inflated quota

FIVE weeks OF only o.43o,28s bushels,

Misfortune has also overwhelmed
cotton plantations, according to the
pessimistic views circulated by traders
and factors who are endeavoring to
sustain prices in the face OF heavy re-
ceipts and unsatisfactory conditions at
New England mills, where print cloths
have been sharply reduced to as cents

"Get Busy.n

There is a whole sermon in the par
lance OF the day, get busy"-that is,
qet to doing something; get TO work;
be a doer OF the word and not hearer
only. A dozen synonyms will suggest
themselves for the colloquialsm, yet it
has, perhaps, pregnancy OF meaning
and a rugged force which none OF them
quite duplicates, as is often the case
with the living speech of the people.
as compared with the dead speech OF
the books. :.
Get busy" is the gospel OF to-day.
The man who does not get busy is dis
tanced from the start. The stress Of
competition, the eager pursuit OF wealth
and advancement, leave no chance for
the man who idles his chances away.
Get busy at something; even il it is
not quite what you like, do the best you
can, and hope for better things. But
while you are hoping, do not stop
working. Get busy--keep busy.
Get busy for the good OF the commu-
nifty. II it isn't all it should be, try to
make it better, more prosperous, more
progressive. Don't sit like big frog,
croaking all the time. and never trying
TO do anything else. Get busy in a
hopeful, helpful, enterprising way. The
man who gets busy has no time to be
busybody; his only interest in the
affairs OF others is to help where he
may.
