The average man wastes a lot OF
sympathy on himself. So.
Sorrows of the Critic.

The SORROWS Of the modern critic
are heavy; he must not only defer to
the tastes of the many-headed mob,
but he must talk to them in their own
jarson, lest they should misunderstood
him. One would almost accept the
priva.ions Of Grub street to have in
return a small educated audience, to
WHOM one could talk as one talks
with ones own familiar friend, an
audience capable of understanding
simple propositions. g.~#f. --@

can country life as a basis for report
and recommendation to the president
If the farmer is being abused or
neglected by our people, the commits
sion wants to know it. IF he is being
cheated every time he tries to sell pro-

open his heart to it.
If his wife can't get along in her
set, or if she hasn't any set, or there
is no such thing as set in the country,
nothing can give the commission more
pleasure than to know it. And as for
the farmer children, why The commits
sion dotes on children and wants to
know all about them.
Here are a few of the questions ad-
dressed to Kenosha county farmers:
Are the schools of your neighborhood
training boys and girls satisfactorily
for life on the fa1mg
Do the farmers in your neighbor-
hood receive from the railroads, high
roads, trolley lines, and telephones
the service they reasonably should
have?
Are farmers and their wives in
your neighbohood satisfactorily or
gained to promote their mutual in
terest?
Are the renters of farms in your
neighborhood making a satisfactory
iving9
Is the supply Of farm labor in your
neighborhood satisfactory?
Are the conditions surrounding
hired labor on the farms in your
neighborhood satisfactory to the hired
men9
Have the farmers in your neigh

is GETTING BETTER
Business is Slowly But Surely
Recovering From Effects Of
the Recent Panic
SEE BETTER TIMES AHEAD

That the country's industries are
slowly but surely recovering from
the bighting effect of the recent panic
and also that immediate prospects
are more than reassurring, " is the con
clusion reached by American Indus
tries, a semi-monthly publication of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, after classifying the thousand
letters received during the last two
weeks in response to a circular.
Four questions were asked of the
$1,000 members of the association
whose factories are located in all
states of the Union, and the responses
Of one-third Of the members, divided
into various trade classi1ications, oc-
cupy more than thirty pages of the
current issue Of the magazine bear
ing the date Of Oct. IT.
The questions sent QUO by the mag
azine were:
l. Present conditions of your
trade
2. Percentage of increase in bust
ness (f any over first part Of pres.
ent year.
3, Trade possibilities in your par
ticular industry for the coming year.
4. Any brief suggestions which may
help in promoting general prosperity.
An analysis of the 1000 answers to
the first three questions shows CON
ditions at this time in nearly all in
dustries as excellent, general improve
ment in the last ten months and al
most unanimous confidence in the
future.
Some of the concerns replying to
the circular letter contented them
selves with simply replying briefly
to the queries propounded; others en-
tered heartily into discussion Of
trade conditions affecting their indi-
vidual industries and the mass of in
formation the association believes will
prove valuable reading for the mem
bers Of the organization.
