FAILURES IN 1910.

hradstreets has lately issued n
pamphlet containing statistics Of fall
ures In 1910 and an explanation OF
their import. Some of the deductions
from these figures arc given below
The failures for 1910 were fewer
than i'll 1900 and 1908. but we're much
more numerous than for any of tho
nine years just previous to 1908. liza
hiiities were much larger than In 1909
but much less then in 1908 or 1907. vet
they were heavier than in any other
preceding year back to 1896. The per
centagc Of assets to liabilities was a
bit higher than in 1909. but lower than
IN any previous year since 1902, and
only seven OF the past twonty-nine
years showed smaller proportion Of
salvage than did 1910 The number of
those engaged in business increased
heavily. though no, so much as in 1909.
and reached previously uncoualcd TO-
10 and as failures were actually fewer
than in 1909, the percentage or annual
commerclul mortality fell 10 n lower
point than III ans but two of the pa
twenty onc ycnrs
The tot,tl failures were lisa a dc
Crease Of 20 from 1909, Which, lad

what lie has commanded. That soldier
would be very sorry soldier who
would refuse to obey his orders be-
cause nc does not think that the thing
he has been commanded to do is the
thing that he should do; who will not
go here or there. as he may bo ordered
because his orders do not suit his views
of where lie should go and what ho
should do.

pose of keeping the accounts straight

which fraudulent cotton bills OF ladinE
were operative.
y shade less than SO cents on the
dollar appears so have been realized
on tho 1910 liabilities, compared with
81 cents In 1908 and rs cents in 1907,
and almost Identical with the percent
age in 1906, favorable trade year
On the whole. the 1910 failures were
really due not so much TO outside
strain as to functional weakness" OF
the falling members of the business
world themselves
In 1910 55.631 new concerns entered
business the second largest increase
ever recorded, bringing the grand total
to 15925o9 the largest total ever re-
corded. With only slight reactions
the records show a progressive de-
cline In the annual business mortality
rate. The cause is to be found partly
In improved credit agency reporting
and consequently conservative credit
granting. Whatever the cause. the
TACT that the annual commercial death
rate in years like 1910-9-S-7 was less
man per cent. and had never been
above IL cent in any year causes
the belief in the tradition that the
iarEer number of persons entering
business fail is unsound

ELY MAKES TWO
SUCCESSFUL FLIGHTS

Ely, the aviator, made two very
successful flights in kalispell yester-
day afternoon, which were witnessed
by an immense throng of spectators.
The first time he went up he
remained four minutes and the Sc
cond flight he remained in the air
for twelve minutes. He demonstrate
ed to the people what complete con-
troll he had of his machine by light
ing within few feet of a des-
lgnated spot. In order to give his
audience an idea of the speed he
could make, he raced an automobile
around the race track, and it was
no effort at all for him to run
right away from it, Both flights
were perfect successes and the peo-
pie who witnessed them were we'll
satisfied. There seemed to be some
misunderstanding about the time the
flights would be made and several
Whitefish people who went down on
purpose were disappointed They
were told that the flights would be
made at three o'clock and they took
place at a little after two, while
they were having lunch.
