puslness Affairs Good.

Birmingham, Nov. 7.--(Special.)-- Everything in banking and financial circles appears, to any one visiting the banks and other business places. as perfectly normal. There is not trace of excitement among the people. Men and women are going to the banks, in the regular course of business. making their deposits and presenting their checks for payment.
 No complaints have been heard to- day about any one refusing to accept cashiers checks or New York ex- change. which are current in the com- munity There is none but would like to have as many of either or both as he could carry. They are. as some ad- vertisements daclare. "as good as gold" At some stores they are actually being taken at small premium. Even the most ignorant have discovered that they are as good as money.
 The Local Freight Agents Associa- tion has notified the banks that New York exchange, cashiers checks and local clearing house certificates will be received in payment of freight charges by the following railroads:
 Alabama Great Southern.
 Central of Georgia.
 Frisco:
 Louisville and Nashville.
 Seaboard Air Line
 Southern Railway.
 It would. indeed. be hard for any one to find a single corporation. bank, firm. or individual, that is not anxious to receive this Focal currency in pay ment of debts or in the purchase of goods.

 PuhIia.

New York. Nov. 1.-The directors of the American Cotton oil Company met today. but took no action on the divi- dend of the company's stock. The usual semi-annual dividend of three per cent was declared on the preferred stock.
 The following statement was given out after the meeting of the directors:
 "The net profits of the year over and above all fixed charges and dividends on the preferred stock amount to $1-, 755,S46, of which $334,654 has been ap- propriated for permanent improvement, leaving a surplus of $1.320,692.
 Under ordinary circumstances the directors would at this time have de- clared a dividend on the common stock. but in view of the financial conditions now prevailing. they considered 1t for the best interests of the stockholders to conserve the cash resources of the company and therefore, have deferred action on the common stock until fn- ancial conditions have resumed a nor nal state"

Court Depiea Petition.

Norfolk. Va. Nov. 7-Federal Judge waddell today denied the application for an injunction restraining the dispo- sition except under order of the court. of the $20o. 900 unnegotiable bonds of the Jamestown Exposition Company's original $40o.000 bond issue. on the ground that there was no necessity at this time for such an injunction.
 This leaves the bankers committees, in whose hands the s20o.00 in bonds remain, to negotiate or dispose of them.
 The court held that the notice and process of this suit sufficiently protect ed John Monk, plaintiff. who holding an alleged claim of $17,000 against the Exposition on contract building work. sought to enjoin the disposition of the S20O ,0O0 in bonds.

NEEDED CHANGE.

Law, medicine and theology are
overcrowded everywhere. Add to
these the number engaged in teach
ing and as stenographers, and the list
is enormous and positions cannot be
created fast enough to keep all busy
in these chosen professions.
There is a general falling off of
skilled mechanics and persons of spec
ial training in improved agriculture,
stock-breeding, horticulture, mining
and the various divisions of labor of
material development, so that skilled
persons in these lines can always find
employment at good wages.
1t is our purpose at this time to
turn the tide of young men and young
women towards the industrial schools
mechanical and agriculture colleges.
The world today needs more young
men and young women who can pro-
duce material things for the fast in
creasing population.
It was theory advanced some
years ago that every young person
should be bound out, or apprenticed to
learn some trade. In foreign coun-
tries, where this was in vogue. the
people became Industrious, ths;sty an
happy The American idea Of young
people seems to be that of looking f.
soft jobs" and "get rich quick
schemes-some place where pay is
large and labor small and where one
may be we'll dressed and attractive
all the time.
The world is demanding skilled La
Dor now more than ever and the
young man or young woman who de-
.sires to become useful, practical nd
in great demand must seek the un-
crowded ranks of those who want TO
earn a livelihood by physical and men
tai labor combined.
We have some schools giving some
attention to instruction in these lines
but as yet there is not the proper SEN
timent In favor of practical things so
that young people very reluctantly at
tend industrial schools. Society is
largely to blame for this. A young
man who learned one of the useful
trades and who follows it sedulously
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-17

said: I'm only cobbler and society
looks down on a cobbler. A cobbler
can not hope to become anything but
a cobbler."
OF course, this young man was over
sensitive on this point, yet there's
much truth in his assertion and this
is the very thing that deters many
from entering useful employment In
which they might succeed. Il would
rather be a good cobbler than a poor
teacher, lawyer, doctor or preacher"
should be the slogan of every young
person.
BY nature We are fitted for some use
full field of labor-inental or physical.
Parents should study the trend of
child mind and bend all energies in
making that child proficient in the
thing for which the child seems best
adapted. A false pride causes many
mothers to spoil an otherwise use
full life because she insists upon max
ing silk purses out Of pig SKINS"
It is the height of her ambition to see
her son Saving souls" when she
knows in her own heart he will prove
an utter failure in that direction. Why
not meet conditions as We find them
and make the most of them?
Study the child's tastes, inclina-
tons, aptitudes and develop the child
along lines for which there seems to
be natural talent. Before a boy or
girl reaches the age of twelve there
has been some hint thrown out as a
clue to that child's calling. Up to
that time all children both boys and
girls receive about the same kind of
mental training. Prom that age they
begin to diverge and a specil training
should be given. We should study
these inclinations and educate along
practical lines, conscientiously and
for the best interests of the child.
