Tremendous Development Of Coun-

rADucAH is A BUSY CENTER


While the stringent guarantees
in the principal cities of the south
depressed business at this time last
year. the marked increase In bank
clearings chiefly may be attributed
to the marvellous Industrial expan-
sion this country is experiencing at
present.
The opening of the east to COM
merce after the Russo-Japanese war
and the resulting demand for for
eign products, gave an impulse to
American industrial life which at
present seems not to have any visible
end. Success in the farming indus

on record, and success there means
success in every other class
