playing beside the road nearly opposite
the Congregational church and it was
found by those who Immediately gath
ered on the scene that the fire was in
the stable of the Sumner Holway build
ings and was spreading rapidly. Mean
while the general alarm had been spread
by some ladies, who were in the church
at the time ringing the bell OF course
large number of people gathered in a
very short time but in spite of every
effort the fire spread to the house of
Timothy Smith and w. II. Soper on the
south and the Congregational parsonage
on the north, at which places the fire
was stopped, although much damage
was done adjoining buildings owned by

j loss was large although there was insur-
anoe on all of the buildings. Parsonage,
$1,000; Holway, 1920; Smith, and Soper,
$500. The latter sustaining by far the

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR."

The advance Of the financial and bust
ness communities is halted by a DOGGY
called presidential Year"
A severe decline in the securities mar
ket and fairly general house cleaning
In the industrial corporations have re-
vealed the stability of underlying con-
ditlons aud cleared the way for a re.
sumption of prosperous activity. But
capital hesitates to embark In new enter.
prises, and consumption is everywhere
curtailed-because this Is presidential
year.
The fear Of presidential year has
grown to be habit with the American
public. In the minds Of business men,
and thanciers 1t Is associated with de.
Ginning stock prices, uncertainty, and
trouble. This Is 80 because there has
been presidential years when the country
was confronted with grave crisis, during
which stocks fell and business was para
lyzed
In memory Of these unfavorable years
the good presidential years have been
lost to to sight. But there have been
many of them in the history Of the coun-
try when stocks rose and business doomed
In 1852, lu 1866, in 1879, In 1880 and
again In 1883 stocks rose markedly On thu
exchanges, and business conditions were
excellent. However, the trouble, Of the
last two elections, when the country was
threatened with the undermining Of its
monetary foundations, have caused the
remote past to be forgotten.
1t is not impossible, therefore, fol
presidential years to be prosperous. That
beng the case, the apprehension exist.
Ing about tho present year appears to
have little reason for existence, 1t is
certain that no vital question affecting
the financial system Of the country will
be involved In the present campaign
There may agitation regarding the treat.
ment of the large industrial corporations
but little can be advocated in the way of
restraint and publicity that has not al.
ready been undertaken.
On the other hand, the country starts
the year with $6S3,oOO,OOo in gold in the
treasury, with circulation of over $50
per capita, with our national debt nearly
$l3,OOO,OOO less than a year ago, and
with our Indebtedness to foreign coun.
tries practically wiped out.
we nave Inc most valuable crops in
the history Of the country only partially
disposed of, and the largest balance of
trade In The history of the world flowing
our way. Politics will not stop the
planting and growing Of the crops, the
business Of the railroads, or the manu-
facture of goods.
The conditions are all present for a
prosperous year. All that Is needed to
make 1t so 10 confidence on the part Of
the public. And there is every reason
