Business Boom Predicted

Business men are not expecting in the immediate future return of that high degree of prosperity which characterized 1906 and 1907, but it is generally felt that this country will witness a record break ing boom beginning in the fall of 1913, ' said David Waldron or Philadelphia. ''The boom predicted will depend, of course, on good crops.
 "There is much better feeling in busi- ness circles in the east now than there was two weeks ago. In fact. there is a good deal of optimism. I am inclined to think that just as soon as the presiden- tial election is over there will be a sub stantial improvement in business opera tlons all along the line, and that if 191a happens to be big crop year boom will be in full swing before the end of that year. Several years of phenomenal prosperity will follow. It seems to be quite we'll understood that the democrats as we'll as the republicans will adopt con- servative platforms next year, and that the presidential ticket or each party will be headed by conservative man who will stand ready, in the event of his elec- tion, to help establish confidence in the financial world.
 "The south seems to be making more progress agriculturally and commercially, relatively speaking, than any other sec ton of the country. can remember when 1t was said that it would be long years before there was any considerable mlle- age of double track on southern railroads. By the time the Panama canal Is opened there will be 1000 miles or more of double track in the south, and in five years from now all the southern trunk lines will be double tracked"

A Veteran. Appreciation

Several weeks ago I received notice from our worthy sheriff that I had failed to pay my license for the current year," said a professional man. "Thereupon l hurried to the probate judges office and rendered to the chief clerk my last 50 bill, and asked for the needed license. This polite official refused to take my money. In surprise I asked him why. He inquired Are you not Confederate vet eran?' I replied affirmatively, and was then told that I was exempt from the license tax.
 Returning to my office, examined the revenue act on page 1S1 of the acts of 1911, and there found that Confederate veterans were allowed to carry on the business of law. medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, veterinary surgery, etc., with out paying for the privilege. It made me feel rich, and caused me to recall the fact that at the close of the war the Confederate states owed me $500, and still owes it. I concluded to credit the account with that s5, and am perfectly willing to do so year by year at that rate until it is wiped out. It will re- quire 36o years to do this, but if the state can stand it I am wiling"

A FLrSTERED MISE.


 The good people of Bethany, Mo-, are fighting a local poolroom and billiard "parlor," figuratively speaking, tooth and nail. The poets--was there ever square yard of this old earths' surface which did not harbor it's poet? The poets, as we were about to say. have plunged into the thick of the fray, on the moral side of the tissue" as was to be expected of all rightly conducted poets. One of the Beth any bards recently leaped into print with an effusion of eight stanzas, which must have created profound impression. One stanza will be sufficient: Where, oh, where is my boy tonight? The mind is sore at rest,
 For the pool hall pit, Tho brightly lit,
 Is a snare for the boyish guest,
 And the heart will thrill
 With a sudden chill s2zx As young feet have a zest
 Of daring in
 Where the ice Is thin
 And putting things to test" "

BIG RETURNS

The Iron Building d Loan Associa-
ton has paid ) per cent and even high
er dividends TO investors during the
past five years. The investor puts his
money into the hands of the Associa-
ton. n is Immediately loaned TO the
borrower at : per cent. By the terms
OF TIE borrowers agreement, he must
pay of a small portion Of this loan
each month. Now, when the first
monthly payment ZONES back TO the
Association, il is Immediately loaned
to the second borrower at : per cent.
The third month the first two borrow
ers make another payment This is
loaned to the third borrower at Z per
cent, and since the first two are each
paying 7 pei. cent on the same money
the portion which the third borrower
gets is earning three times 2 per cent
or 81 per cent. Continue this process
during the term of the loan, and you
will see that the portion which the last
borrower gets is canning a very large
rate OF interest. Besides, the borrow
er pays a premium. These interests
and premiums are compounded month
Is thereby each dollar is earning its
portion Of interest, each month, twelve
times a year, instead Of simple inter
est once a year.
