The threatened severity of the winter,
the increase of pauperism and the mum
her Of the unemployed combine to form
a nroblem which is occupying the atten-
t,op of the authorities in London Pau
nerism is increasing TO an alarming de-
gree il, the metropolis. The figures for
the week show that 1919 persons were

Industrial conditions at this Christ
mas time present reasons for general
qualification. Holiday trade has sur
passed all previous experience and the
volume of sales recorded in the lead
ing retail branches largely exceeds the
great record made last year. The buy
ing opened up earlier than usual and
disclosed accommodating strength from
the start, progress being materially
aided by the seasonable weather which
prevailed.
Dealings have been well distributed,
the demand including both novelties
and staples, resulting in notable de-
pletion of stocks. The buying power
Of the people never before made bet
ter showing. Gift wares, costly lux
uries, wearing apparel, footwear and
household needs all were literally
bought. The activity also entered into
jobbing departments, frequent reasort-
ment being called for, especially in
1ress goods, mems furnishings, fancy
goods and notions.
ehandise are practically closed for the
year and wholesale houses turn to the
consideration of inventories and bal
ances preparatory to next years cam
paign. Interior advices furnish basis
for anticipa ing an excellent trade out
look.
Extraordinary crops this year have
eaused general Improvement at Des
Moines. Other cities within the Chica-
90 district forward similar reports.
Mercantile collections make favora-
ble exhibit and bank returns assure an
ample supply of funds Tor business
purposes
Distribution of heavy materials and
grain oyertaxes the available capacity
Of railroads This condition, however.
while causing temporary annoyance, is
4 striking evidence of the improved
state of commerce. Many orders have
been placed for additional motive pow
er and cars. ana the new commitment
for rails, bridge material and other
equipments is an unfailing index Of
qUickened activity among the trans
pCrtation interests. Continued mark
ing up of prices suggest that the pro-
duccrS of iron and steel are esta blish-
ing Il strong basis for the coming
years operations. New demands for
furnace and finished materials repre-
sent considerable tonnage this week,
particularly for rails, plates and wire.
The manufacturing situation gener-
ally shows steady advance toward in
c1easing output The lumber trade
maintains satisfactory volume at firm
prices and the weeks receipts, 36 331,
900 feet. arc more un2n double those
of n year ago.
Board of Trade dealings are seen to
buying of breadstuffs being stronger.
Values show slight advances in wheat,
corn and oats. Recipes of grain ag-
gregated 1881, 166 bushels. against s.
26S. 1852 bushels a year ago, and ship
ments reached 3.21:.G74 bushels,
against 1929, $50 bushels, the gain be-
ing due to an extraordinary movement
Of corn. Provi 'ons were in good re-
quest for domestic consumption, and
the average of prices made slight
gain. Receipts of livestock We're 1884,,
594 head, almost as many as year

England ana United States Favored in
Trade.

-
Trade.
According to an article in the German
Export Review, quoted in the consular
reports. the materials needed for ship
building are bought in England Even
big ships built for Japan in Germany
years ago were ordered to Armstrong; in
England for their armament. Recently
Krupp and the French firm of Schnei-
der are preferred.
The fact that England and the United
States are favored is shown by the pur-
chase Of material for the Yokohama wat
err works In calling for bids it was
provided that the cocks come from Eng
land and the water meters from England
or the United States, che names of firms
even being specified.
Locomotives for the railroads in Japan
and Korea are bought exclusively in the
United States. presumably because they
are more quickly obtainable there. The
friendship for the United States is in
creasing.

Holiday trade and retail business
generally hold the center of the stage,
wholesale business and speculation in
stocks and staples quietil z down. In
some lines of industry. too, seasonable
influences make for quiet, but mark
ed exception is noted in iron and steel,
which display activity and strength
and still further advances on crude
and finished products Transportation
is in enormous volume and exceeds car
capacity in some industries. Railway
earnings gross are up to the best of
the year, and exceed all previous
periods at this time. y preliminary
survey indicates close to. If not in eN-
cess of. record proportions in holiday
business. except in some parts OF the
South and the Pacific coast; good col

Western Loints. easy money in all d.
rections, a good volume of spring bust

A Spool of Thread.

To make spool Of thread, says a
manufacturer, is a complicated process.
Only the very best cotton can be used
for this purpose. The cotton is taken
in the raw state and torn all to pieces
by machine called a breaker. 1t then
goes through several other machines,
by which it is carefully combed and
freed from impurities. A machine
called slipper takes it up and twists
it out into soft white yarn. This is
carefully combed again, and it is taken
into another department. where sew
eral small strands of this yarn are
twisted into one fine one. Three of
these are twisted together, and you
then have six cord thread, which, after
it is bleached, is ready for the market.

aomestesds May Be Cancelled.

S The Ray Pioneer has the following
interesting item anent the matter OF.
making final proof on claims and then
leaving them to become valuable from
thesincrease in land values. There are
a number Of Ramsey county people who
have claims in that part Of the state who
will be interested in the matter. The
Pioneer says: 81
Several claims have beenrecommend-
ed for cancellation in this vicinity by the
inspectors, on the grounds that the
claimants showed bad faith by i'm
mediately leaving for Minnesota and
other states after making final proof.
This is probably an injustice to some.
as we have heard of some who are thus
recommended for cancellation who in
tended to return in the spring with
teams and outfits and will farm. Those
who have the means will probably put
in evidence at the hearing set at Minot
TO try and hold their lands. while those
who are not in a position to pay good
attorney will probably have to let their
lands be cancelled.

st. nicholas Of Myra,


All that is known with any certainty
OF Nicholas is the bare fact that he
lived In Asia Minor somewhere about
the beginning of the fourth century.
He was bishop of Myra, a Lycian sea-
coast town, venerable, of course, for
his piety and benevolence, and he was
reyered In the east at least as early as
tho sixth century. In the Greek church
he takes rank Immediately after the
i've great fathers, and under the name
Of st. Nicholas of Myra he is esteemed
as patron saint Of by far the largest
body OF Orthodox Greeks, the Russian
empire. As early as the year $50 JUS
tinian dedicated a church in Constants
nople to the renowned bishop. In the
west, where for q reason he is more
commonly known as st. Nicholas of
Bari, he was acclimatized for good in
the eleventh century. His vogue in the
north began with the twelfth, but ex-
tended so rapidly that by the reforma.
ton he probably possessed in England
alone more churches and chapels dedi.
Gated in his honor than any other holy
parsonage Cornhill Magazine.

you with speed of sixty miles per
hour, and after it is lost in the dis

little on the velocity Of light. The

and great noise, but the silent beam of
light fits past with a speed 11,170,.
$50 times greater! The initial velocity
Of ball fired from twelve FOUNDER
is 1,7G5 feet per. second; that of light
1,56O,134 feet in the same length Of
time. Comparisons give us but very
poor idea of the velocity, but they en-
able us to partially comprehend the

know that with all it's prodigious speed
it takes light four hours to fash from

Don't Talk Of Your Health.

Don't Talk Of Your Health.
II you are not well don't talk about
it.
To do so only .exaggerates your con-
sciousness of physical discomfort; also
1t casts a shadow Of gloom over other
people. They grow hesitant about ask
ing you how you feel. 1t gives them
cold chills to be continually told that
you are mot very well' or mot so
well" or "about the same"
Do. you know that good deal Of
this is imagination? II you braced up
and told people cheerily that you felt
tiptop nine chances in ten you would
feel tiptop pretty soon. You'd forget

such miserable little absorber of
health and happiness as the perpetual
habit of s'not feeling well."-Boston
