THE OPENING WEEK
OF THE YEAR 1917
IN BUSINESS CIRCLES THERE IS A SOBERNESS OF JUDGE
NORMAL CONDITIONS

Although the second half of 1910,
in sharp contrast to the second half
OF 1909, was a period of recedlng vol
ume Of business, as was clearly il
Illustrated by the decline in bank
clearings, yet there has been a
growth of personal economy, an in
crease i'm business conservatism. and
a change for the better in the foreign
trade: while a year of great agricul-
tnral fruitfulness is being followed
by winter generally helpful for
wheat and other crops, although
there has been a cold wave i'm the
southwest which has caused some
temporary uneasiness in that quar-
ter. While at the beginning of 1910
there was 4 general feeling of pntlu-
sias1n over the years outlook which
was not justified by the results. at
the opening OF the year 1911, accord
ing to Dun $ Review, there ~ So
beEness Of Judgment which is more
conducive to year OF normal condi-
l'ols as a necessary preparation tor
a tul1 return to complete national
activity. Bank clearings of the first
week OF the year show Il decline out
side of New York of 4 4 per cent as
compared with 1910 and an increase
OF - per cent. over 1909. In New
York there was II falling of 80. 9 and
So per cent. respectively. Railroad
earnings duriug four weeks of De-
cember increased 75 per cent.
There is little or no change in the
state of the larger trades. In dry
goods, buyers are displaying some
increased interest as new lines of
spring goods are exhibited, but the
adjustment of costs of production to
selling prices is a slow process which
still operates to retard the trade.
There has been recently a yratify-
ing Improvement in foreign trade,
but the ba lance in favor of this cOun-
try is not yet large enough TO create
Il great credit abroad

very much warming parts of the

Again, the heaters where wood or

WATCH YOUR DAMPERS
AND ECONONllZE FUEL

| Did yor ever hold a feather or a
| piece OF paper over the stove pipe in
a shanty Or low house. coming direct
ly from the stove below? Asks the
Dakota Farmer. If you did. and it
WAS cold weather with good fire
going. the feather was scorched or
the paper burned at once. We ven
ture the assertion that fully one-half
the heat from many small house
stoves goes up and out the pipe and
is wasted. This is mighty expensive
neglect. to say the least.
| Few can afford it, and there is no
need of it. We saw Just this going
ON in 4 living room Of a small house
the other day--and that was the only
warm room in the house--while heat
enough was escaping into the cold
night air to make comfortable every
room. If il had been used rightly.
We have a wood heater. and by put.
ting up seven lengths OF pipe more
than is actually needed to take the
smoke out Ofthe room, it comfurta bly,
heats the library, the dining room
and three lOxl2 bed rooms curtainetl
off from the first named large room.
If the heat from this sin gle stove
were not held and utilized by dam
pers and extra pipe the fuel con-
snmed would heat but one room, un-
less by added fuel that room were
made too hot for comfort, when the
other rooms would feel the effect but
slightly.
Dampers alone. can be made to
hold mach heat and save Il good deal
| of fnel. Large drums on the pipe,
particularly if put into pipe extended
i'm rooms overhead or adjoining, will
do mnch toward saving all the heat :.
Where drums cannot readily be had
nor afforded, although they cost but
little. two extra lengths OF pipe with
fonr elbows can be made into a very
good drum. 1t is cons idered Il little
safer to have the chimney come down
Ftuthe first floor. so that the pi pc can
go directly into the chimney Il few
feet from the stove. This causes u
great waste of fuel, particularly when
there is a cold chamber overhead
with no heat Or stove in it. by put
ting in u proper double thimble, there
need he 10 danger whatever in carry
ing the pipe through the floor into
the chamber, and il Il properly To-
Gated drum, or lenRthening of pipe is
pat in there, nearly the last particle
OF heat can be made to do service be-
fore escaping into the outer air.
Much fuel can be saved, too, by
watching the drafts Of cook and other
stoves. A windy dyay, and it is
nearly always windy ~ the prairie
