troube ourselves, we are glad to
know that things financial are grad
ually settling back TO normal condi-
tions Take the following as straws
showing that no country like our
own can stand a money panic. These
extracts are taken from papers of
different cities
interior banks are undoubtedly
boarding money, that is they are
running their services up to an alb
normal point. There is an entirely
adequate supply Of currency at
the present time. All that is needed
to unlock the currency situation is
more confidence and there is evil
dence Of returning Of that conf
dence."
THAT prosperity is returning and
normal conditions will be restored in
a short time is predicted by the
president Of one Of the largest !
wholesale dry goods houses in the Z
West and South. he declares that
not one man in TO 600 in the West
and South, was affected by the
panic" which followed the dis
turbances in the financial world.
TIE panic ne attributes to the
lack of confidence on the part Of
some traders"
New York, Nov. 20 There is no
money stringency In New York. At
any rate, if there is it has not
extended to Madison Square Gar
den where the Old Glory horse sales, 1
the greatest of the year, are in pro-
gress. Horse lovers and horse deal
ers from all over the United States
are there and they all have money
real money-in bales"
Chicago, Nov. %. Frank A. Van
derlip, vice president Of the National
Bank of New York, who is visiting
his mother here, yesterday predicted
that the currency situation will get
back to normal as soon as the De-
cember pay rolls are met.
Evidence that the pressure for
currency is diminishing is found in
the statement of New York clearing
house banks on Saturday, with its
actual increase of nearly 100000
n cash and it's reduction of deficit in
reserve by over 81 100000.
Indications now point to a relaxa-
ton of the tension existing in finan-
cial matters during the past few
weeks. Confidence has, to great
extent, been restored and the hoard
ers of money are beginning to lose
he timidity which has characterized
hem of late.

Councilman Galbreath moved that
an ordinance fixing the liquor license
at 81, 900 for 1908 be drawn and put
upon its passage. This was seconded
by Councilman Randle. A motion to
postpone action was voted down and
a motion to substitute $3.50 failed to-,
get a second. After some discussion
the vote was taken. Ayes, Higgins, |
Galbreath, Carroll, Davis and Ran
die. Nays, Glass and Armstrong.
There are now 20 saloons in the
city. No action has yet been taken
regarding the limiting of the num-
Der. The increase in the license will
probably cause some to drop out or
form partnerships and those who
have given the police trouble this
year may fail to get license another
year. This matter will come up
Dec. 20 and some of the applications
IRE already posted.

lie Should Be lMan OF Culture and Of
Science.
In his annyal address before the
Kansas State horticultural society the
president Of the society said:
Horticulture is a broad term. Ev-
cry thing that makes our country beau
tiful and sweet to live in is embraced
by it. Not alone the skilled opera
tions of the gardener and fruit grower,
but the landscape builder and forest
planter, are allied with it. s+ .
The horticulturist should be an edu-
Gator of the public tastes as regards
trees, flowers, fruit, gardens and lawns.
In his enthusiasm along these lines he
should be infective, thereby stimulat-
ing tree planting by the roadside, the
making Of parks, adorning cemeteries
and beautifying school grounds.
Culture and Science.
Such horticulturists are always val
ued and honored in every community
in which they live. One of the great
est needs In every community is this
type or lnQ1VlQllal1Iy.
The horticulturist to succeed should
be broad Intellectually. He should be
a man of culture and of science. His
knowledge should be worldwide regard
ing it's industry, it's markets, it's his
tory and it's commercial needs. He
should be a representative citizen in
his community. This he may accom-
plish by vigorous efforts to comprehend
the sciences which are necessary to
succeed in his profession.
Can Accomplish Much.
| He can accomplish much by sassocia-
ton with the advanced horticulturists,
who meet from time to time in conven-
tions like this to study the many prob
lens concerning their profession that
| is, the planting, cultivation, varieties
to plant, marketing Of their products
and kindred subjects.
| That the farm has suffered by the
depletion of the best blood and Drawn
is we'll known fact. Owing to devel-
opments Of the past few years to a
higher intellectual standing Of our
farming community greater induce.
ments are offered to our youth, and
many who in the past sought other
avocations are now found engaged in
farming. I believe the farm Is the
best place for our youth; that there is
a greater amount Of happiness to be
derived from our country homes than
elsewhere.
