taken in consequence, the money stu
alton is really far. better than could
have been expected. The interior
banks will be able to meet crop re-
quirements with little assistance from
New York further than simply utiliz-
ing the balances which belong to
them. The forced liquidation of the
last two months has accomplished i'm
portant results. Financiers, manu-
facturers and merchants alike have
each been obliged to liquidate and
shorten sail. The process was I'M
pleasant, and in many cases involved
severe losses, but the results are ben
eficial; and as result it is safe to
say that the financial and business
situation in the United States is much
sounder than it has been at any time
since the panic of 1907. Firm rates
for money are probable, and even de-
sirable as a restraint upon impru-
funds is quite abundant for all legiti-
mate purposes. Any outbreak of ex-
cessive speculation would probably
meet with prompt check by the
banks, and If conditions continue as
satisfactory as at present, gold i'm
ports may be renewed at later date.
Another element of uncertainty
that has largely diminished Is the
crop outlook, which is also proving
better than anticipated month ago
The only real disappointment In this
respect is cotton, the estimate for
which varies from eleven and a hall

we may look for a great deal of heat
ed discussion; and through the smoke
of political battle it will not always
be easy to discern the final outcome.
Nevertheless, the recent declarations
of President Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt
have clarified the political horizon
and served to make the issues plain.
The tariff, the regulation of corpora
lions and the important question of
railroad rates are now the ruling
issues and their agitatioan must leave
a certain measure of uncertainty still
to be reckoned with. Nevertheless,
there is nothing alarming connected
with any of these problems. 1t should
not be forgotten that action always
runs on more conservative lines than
agitation. We are now in the period
of disturbing agitation, which is apt
to excite and mislead those who lose
their balance. When it comes to pos
tive action, conservatism will I'M
questionably rule, and those who in a
spirit of vengence seek to destroy the
tariff, or the trusts, or the railroads
will not prevail. 1t is easy to take
an over-sensitive view regarding these
problems. Politics may overshadow
the outlook for some time to come,
but the probabilities are that justice,
order and good sense will rule in the
long run.
Referring to President Taft's recent
tariff letter urging downward revis-
ion through schedules considered sep
arately, the idea is not a new one, al
though a very good one. It was adj
vocated by me over two years ago in
a speech | made before the annual
convention of the American Bankers
at Providence, R. l., July "a, 1908, in
which l said: 81 am one of those
who believe that the best interests
of this country demand that the tariff
should be simplified and gradually
lowered, say one schedule at time,
with six months notice of any import
ant change in it. This would enable
importers to protect themselves suffi-
GENTLY to avoid loss on their previous
importations. The reduction Of GUS
toms duties on commodities and ar
ticles of general consumption would
obviously reduce the living expenses
of the people, which are now so great
as to be the chief source OF the dis
content OF labor"
One of the most important uncer-
families which lately threatened the
security markets has become a matter
of history. There is now little or no
danger of any serious monetary crisis
this fall. Owing to the warnings is
sued months ago, and the precautions

million to twelve million bales; crop
of at least 100000 bales having
been considered necessary from the
business or economic standpoint. This
misfortune will be shared by the
whole cotton-consuming world. Our
cotton manufacturers will necessarily
be obliged to contend with very high
prices for their raw material, but the
South will secure ample compensation
through the unusual profits which cot
ton culture is just now affording
them. So far as the South is con-
cerned, high prices will be good

will be another month or six weeks
before this department staple is out of
danger from frost. The wheat crop,
if not as large as desired, is turning
out better than anticipated in July.
High prices here are also benefiting
the grower, and no decline can be
anticipated in view of the fact that
the WOTlu WHSdI ylOiu 10 tpouI- SV,
OOO, 900 bushels less than last year.
Corn, the most important crop to
American interests, is making very
satisfactory progress. There is now a
good chance of our securing 3,000,-
100000 bushels, and within month
the frost danger, which is diminishing
daily, will be eliminated. Though
the price per bushel is lower, the
value of this crop is likely to equal
that of 1909. In fact it is not at all
improbable that the combined money
value of all our crops will equal the
$3.50, 100000 of last year.
Another satisfactory indication is
the diminished output Of new securi-
ties. This simply shows that the
country is taking the much needed
rest cure, the only remedy for past
excuses, and the only high-road to re-
covery. 1t is possible that after the
Labor Day holidays the market may
undergo a further period of temper
airy unsettlement; yet good invest
ments are selling at very low prices
On present returns, and all of the
known unfavorable conditions except
politics seem to have been quite
thoroughly discounted. 1t may be
that the continued depression in bust
ness and political agitation will force
prices to a still lower level; but on
the other hand, the time is not far
distant when Wall Street will recover
its nerve and begin to discount re
cuperation. General conditions
throughout the country are sound, and
as soon as the readjustment process
approaches completion we may ex
pect better prices for stocks. Mean
while, continued caution is advisable
until political possibilities can be
more accurately measured.

Making a Flag Kite.

- TIES are made in all shapes, sizes
II and styles, but have you ever seen
flag kite? 1t is something new and here
is the simple way In which you can make
one 1t is made on frame resembling
that of the square fighting kites of the
Japanese Children. To make the frame
use reeds, thin strips Of wood or bamboo.
For the covering colOred tissue paper or
any other thin tough paper is best.
First make an oblong frame fourteen
inches by twenty inches, then connect
the corners diagonally opposite from
each other with frame sticks. Next fas-
ten a frame stick touching the middle
of the short side of the oblong frame
and another stick across the frame
touching the middle points of the long
side of the oblong In making this frame
use very small nails or brads. When the
skeleton of the kite is finished stretch
piece of cord across the ends of the
upper short side of the frame and one
across the ends of the lower short side.
BY drawing these strings shorter than
the kite ends the upper and lower edges
of the kite will bulge, causing the face
of the kite to be rounded. Now cover
the kite with white paper. Put on a
blue field and white stars found in the
corner of the American flag. Last of all
paste on the red stripes. Give your
kite two tails, fastening them to the
two lower corners of the frame. Attach
your kite string and you are ready for
the sunshiny weather.

Flag Day in Japan.

TN our land we set apart one day in the
/ year to celebrate the birth of our
STARS and Stripes" Japan, too. has a
flag festival. On that day the feast of
flags the fifth day of the fifth month,
the japanese boys have good times. Just
before the happy day rolls around the
Acknowledged little fellows in the land of
flowers set up tall bamboo posts. On the
top Of each of these poles they place
large brightly colored paper fish. If
during the year the household has been
gladdened by the birth of a new baby
boy the fish is made very large. AS the
body of the carp is hollow, it riggles
when winds blow into it from the outside
causing it to move just as a fish when
swimming in the water. The Japs believe
a great deal in symbols. That u.s. to them
certain forms stand for ideas. The rea-
son that they choose the carp in cele-
brating the feast of flags is because it is
a fish which is supposed to swim against
the current and is able to leap water
falls To the Japanese it represents
young man overcoming the difficulties of
life and forcing his way over all trouble
to success
At the flag festival time the shops must
look like our Christmas stores. for they
are full of toys for both boys and girls.
For the boys there are images of SOL
diers, heroes, warriors and wrestlers. In
olden times this small warlike nation
provided its boys with helmets swords.
bows and arrows, spears and armors. AS
this holiday falls on a day sacred to the
japanese god of war. Hachima, the chill
dren celebrate with sham battle. The
boys divide themselves in two sides, one
called Heike and the other Cent?. Each
Heike carries a red flag, while every
Benji bears white colors. All of the boys
wear helmets which look like earthen
pots. Each boy has a bamboo sword.
During the battle every play warrior
tries to dash the enemy's earthen helmet
to the ground or capture the flag. so his
side will win the day. The display of
weapons and the blowing of horns on
that day are supposed to brighten away
one of the bad spirits" of japan. Oni.
this heather god. is said to be afraid of
sharp-edged swords and even afraid of the
sword-shaped leaves of the flag lily. On
account of this these long pointed leaves
are hung up In every heathen household
of Japan.

her mother seemed, and her little girl
going away!
X
They drove out of town at coed gait,
for the clouds were thickening over the
sky, and gusts of wind were coming UP
the road. Mary shivered. Soon she would
be alone in the big farmhouse with the
Jacksons. and her darling papa and NAM
ma would be far from her in their own
dear home in town. Oh, how Mary's
heart throbbed with regret over her ugly
conduct of the hour before. She sat quite
still beside her mother, and determined
to make the best of the matter, though
it really might kill her. She felt that she
deserved this exile from home-this be-
ing given to another couple. Oh, how
long could she live thus?
Just then they reached the gate and
Mr.. Jackson came to lift Mary down
She walked into the house, followed by
Mr.. Jackson bearing her trunk. Then
she turned about to see her mother driv-
ing away, without having said word OF
goodbye. Mary began to weep bitterly
in spite of dear old Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
sons efforts to quiet her
And all that night she lay in her exile
from home her heart breaking. Oh, why
had her mother brought her here? But
she, Mary, had wished it to be so, and
her good mother had obeyed her wish
Oh, how terrible to be away from home
while it was dark and raining!
X
So poor repentant Mary lay weeping in
her first deep sorrow. In an hour of
naughtiness-yes real wickedness-she
had lost her own dear parents and happy
home through an idle wish. So here,
away from all that was dear to her, she
must pass her days-yes. years-in exile!
The thought caused her to burst forth in
loud weeping Then a hand pressed her
shoulder, and the dearest voice in the
world cher mother's) spoke to her: Come,
dear child. Wake up. You have gone
without your luncheon because you were
too naughty to eat it, and papa has gone
back to his Office
Mary raised herself on her elbow. She
was in her own room, lying on the bed.
She had not gone to the Jacksons, then,
but had been in exile only in dream!
Oh, how happy she was. She leaped to
her feet and threw her arms about her
mothers neck and made honest confess
sion of her naughtiness. i've been in

Soon tiny leaves appeared above the
food sacks which were giving their food

the young bean was! The growing leaves
ate so much that soon the food bags
were empty and fell to the ground.
But what did the bean care? Now
Mother Earth sent fresh food right up
from the garden at the plants feet.
With such a market no wonder there was
soon a tall vine reaching higher than any
little boy or girl Wasn't this happy
little bean vine climbing over the porch
and coaxing the bees with its pretty red
flowers? Even little Mary, who lived in
the house, helped it on its way by lead
ing it's tiny hands to grasp new places.
What a pleasant thing it was to see the
world and how jolly to hear ones self
admired. "Just see how beautiful this
Towering bean has made this ugly old
porch" was heard every day.
Never did the little vine dream of such
happiness. but one day it really hap

Queer Money.

A TRAVELLER in Central America
"A would find that though he had a
purse full of our money, yet he could
buy nothing There handful of cowrie
shells are of more value than ten-dol-
lar BILL for these shells are the money
of the people living in that uncivilized
region. This money is strung on strong
cords and carried about by the persons
who want to buy. At each purchase a
portion of the cord of shells is cut off
and given as money. The South sea is
landers pay for their simple needs with
a kind of rope made of flying fox fur or
tiny feathers of birds of brilliant plum
age. You have probably seen pictures of
the Chinese carrying their strings Of
money.
Their coins, called cash." each have a
hole in the center so that a heavy cord
may easily be passed through them.
Knots tied in the string show every time
a hundred cash are strung on the cord.
Because these cash are of little value a
great quantity of them have to be car
ried when marketing is to be done. How
strange it would seem to us If we had to
take one or two servants about with us
to carry our money. That is what the
rich Chinese do. for it takes about four
hundred cash to equal one of our dollars.
In the Island of Madagascar gold and
silver are used for money. There these
precious metals are seen in all sizes and
shapes, for their value depends upon
their weight. A traveller once visiting In
Mexico received two small cakes of soap
for his change, after making a purchase.
He could not understand at first that the

it into money. AS long as this stamp re-
manned clear or distinct the money was
good to spend, but when the stamp wore
off the soap was only good as a cleanser.
