 The knights, or at least great many of them. were in their regaifa and made great appearance. It looked like Mardi Bras had come to town as the Eaiiy eapaFisoned men, some of them looking like princes in their tinssl and gold gowns and purple robes, while others in tight fitting suits represent ed the innps of perdition and no doubt made life miserable for the candidates for initiation Into the mysteries of their ancient order.
 A large number of visiting Knights of Pythfas of ytcksburg and other places In the State were here to partici- pate in the frivolities of the occasion and to assist the organizers sent over from our nsighboring State of Ala bana.

 Charles M. schwab. -chhirmaa ana President of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, predicts q period of prosperity such as the country has not known for several decades.
 The financial panic was a healthy check" he said. and 1t will rebound Co the health and business interests Of the country. There Is nothing ahead of this country but . period of perm anent prosperity. This Is being felt in trade circles today, and the fesl- ing has gradually been growing stronger for several weeks. The stats of the stock market, and the strong reports dealing with many commercial enterprises indicate that the confidence Of the people of the United States has been restored or is being restored with every hour.
 T am today of an optimistic mind; I have been in an optimistic mood; [ feel that we are going ahead today and tomQrrow with the gaint strides that characterized our business activity up to the time when inysstdass became fearful of the country's future.
 Tn Europe I took palms to observe that the restoration of confidence in our business life was quickly ohserve0 in financial centers. And depression in business life here is quickly reflected on the other side of the Atlantic, Eso- rope watches us with the greatest care. When we become weak and care fui the effect is transported quickly to the trade centers of Europe. When we enjoy our greatest prosperity the ef. feet is felt upon the Continent. am happy to say that the prosperity which is now before us Is felt with equal joy by Europeans. And when state that we may be free to believe that we arc about to enter a state of unprecedented prosperity 1t is no idle prediction"
