ting i'll every possible labor-savinS improvement and every business man to do now, as far as possible, whatev- CT construction work he has planned for the future.
 'Scrap-heap everything out oI date.
 Put in as soon as you can every labor saving device, for with return of general prosperity you will find d greater scarcity of labor than the ih- dustries of the country had to face during the last great boom.
 Now, while there is an ample SUD- ply of labor needing employment, is the time to get in shape to have ma chinery do everything possible to les sen manual labor in the future.
 "The demand for labor will then certainly exceed the supply, and the farseeing man, knowing this, will take advantage of the present situation.
 If you expect to build new house Or factory or to enlarge an old one, do so now.
 If your plant needs overhauling' don't delay in making it.
 Tn this way, by doing as much work as possible and thus giving en- ployment to idle men, and by equip ping all plants with labor-saying ma chinery, the industries of the country may be made ready for an even more acute labor condition than they had in 1906 and the early part of 1907. The laboring man will rightly demand high wages, for the cost of living will require it and there will be work for every man who wants it.
 The railroads should put every To- comotive and car in good shape and be prepared to the best of their ability for the next rush of business, which will swamp the transportation facili- ties of the country to greater extent even than in 1906-O7.
 The wise man will get ready now so as to be prepared for the activity which the fundamental conditions of the country, and especially the pros- perity of the agricultural interests, make certain.

PROSPERITY FIGURED OUT.

Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore, has sent out a special letter of sug- gestion and admonition to manufac- turers and business men in which he gives figures showing that the coun- try is now about to complete@the har- vesting of a crop that will sell high and be the sure basis of general pros perity. He begins with estimates on the corn crop and not only shows a gain of Il5,O00. 900 bushels over last year. but an increase in the selling price of $5S5 .0O0 .o00 because of this gain and also because of fact that corn is now selling at 20 cents d year Much the same is true of wheat the increase in bushels over 1907 be- ing 44.000.00O and in price about 10
  dency at present which insures an excess of receipts of about $100,000- GOO for wheat alone and the increased receipts by the farmers for these two crops will be about $700 100000. Even if prices should decline greatly there still would be an excess of receipts this year over last. Reckoning other farm products the excess of all farm receipts for 1908 over 1907 will not be far short of Sl .o0o ,000,0 900.
 According to this high authority these figures spell prosperity for the United States in big letters. The en- mulative effects of these advances will soon be felt.
 Mr Edmonds then wisely concludes 0s follows:
 These stupendous figures are, how ever, due to higher prices to a greater extent than to an increase in quanti- V. They mean, therefore, much Higher cost of living for the consumer of farm products, and this must nat urally mean high wages for mechan ics. This prosperity will inevitably, in the working out of economic laws, draw pack to the country thousands
 ~ir,- ment in other industries. With the next revival of industrial and railroad activity we shall see a greater scar Nity of labor-much greater than. we : 11ad in 1906 and 1907, with higher range of wages and salaries. Under these conditions it behooves every manufacturer to get ready to meet fhat Inevitable situation by now put

ly and Comes to the Con-
clusion That the Night
Rider Stories Are Fakes.
~ Associates %-,ss.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 29-Deputy
Insurance Commissioner A C. Sexton,
after an investigation of some dozen
or SO gin fires in the state; has about
come TO the conclusion that the night
rider stories are fakes so lar as Ala
balna is concerned. North Alabama
was especially prolific in the matter
of sensational reports of this kind,
and in every case the department is
told they were without foundation.
Many of the stories about warnings
signed Committee" seem to have
grown out of fertile gray matter in
the publicity departments of the in
terror
AS result it seems that the ac-
tfvity of the department to head of
the outrages of this kind are to be
without anything TO spend themselves
upon. In one or two cases there is a
prospect that incendiarism prevailed.
but in not one case has there been
evidence indicating that destruction
resulted from anything of an organic
ed effort to make havoc. Captain Sex
ton is doing everything possible to find
out where he can help. while Secre-
tary of State Julian. head Of the office,
is aiding him in every way.
