MISCHIEF MAKERS LOOK
FORWARD TO HALLOWEEN

Calumet boys and girls are patient
by awaiting the coming of Monday
October 81. why? Twill be Hallow
cen. November / Is All Hallow day
or the festival of All Saints. The vigil
of the day is kept the evening before.
In England the evening is spent in
cracking nuts. ducking in a tub of
water for apples or other harmless
fire side revelries.
In America as a rule the amuse-
ment of the evening is OF far differ
ent character. The boys and girls
prowl about under the cover of dark
ness and perform mischievous FRANKS
Those who have doorsteps, horse
blocks, gates, fences, barber poles and
other movable objects, had better pre-
pare To save them now. Halloween Is
less than three weeks off Even now
the boys are conspiring and planning
their methods of performing various
tricks and transformations. Tick tacks,
for annoyning service, are being manu-
featured and many mothers are saw
ing spools for the boys and girls
Beans are being hooked" from the
household cupboards and bean blowers
are being slowed away in safe places
for use on that eventful night. Calu-
met youths are usually orderly on
but they must remember
that the police will be especially vigil
liant on that night, and the pranks in
dulged In before that date are likely
to land those involved i'm serious trou-
BILE.
Not all of the Halloween amuse-
ments will be derived from pranks.
There will be parties. Ghosts and
COLLINS will prowl about the dark cor
ners of the houses. and figures in
gowns and sheets will fit through the
dimly lighted rooms and corridors.
Cob web parties and other methods
OF entertaining are being planned and
il is safe to say that the evening will
be one of great enjoyment to Calu-
met and Laurium boys and girls.

Our Best Customers Prosperins.

One important factor in the outlook for trade and industry is the excellent conditions existing in the countries which are the best customers Ameri- can producers have outside their home markets. The prospect for foreign commerce is entirely different from that which would yexist if the times were bad in Great Britain, Germany, Canada, France and Mexico.
 But these best patrons of American exporters are all in better than an av- craze state of industrial and commer- ciaI activity. Canada is enjoying great advance in every form of nation al development and though the wide spread and severe damage to the wheat crop in the Canadian North west will undoubtedly check the growth for the next year so. will not prevent many solid gains and the general progress of the Dominion will be rapid. Mexico is making notable strides in industries and trade and in the development of country still far below the possibilities of it's natural wealth. Great Britain. Germany and France, the three leading customers of American priducers in the old world. are expanding their foreign trade and increasing their industrial strength and activity.-cleveaand Leader
