Where ignorance is bliss: The Beloit

wouldn't be so jubilant if he heard her
reason for so doing, namely, because it

The Marshall County News insists
that Marysville is good temperan- Z
city, but nevertheless and notwith-
standing, even the women there see
snakes occasionally. Mrs William
Schoeneshoefer is reported by the News
to have found big bull snake, nearly
eight feet long. in her kitchen the 9TH

up and killed his snakeshiD.

Ira Puderbaugh sent some of the nuts

They were well pleased to think they

PROSPERITY COMING.

That another era of real prosperity
for these United States is well on its
way is the opinion of Henry CIews, the
New York banker and broker In a
financial review for last week he
points out that the banks all over the
country are sufficiently we'll fortified
to meet the demands for the move
ment of the crops from the west and
Canada without making any special
preparations either in the direction of
calling in of loans or 1iquidating their
large holdings of securities. This
shows that financially the country is
on a pretty stable basis. But on one
of the salient reasons for the return
of a fine prosperity Mr.. Clews writes:
1T does not seem to be generally
appreciated what rapid strides are be-
ing made by our country as an ex-
porter of manufactured goods 1t is
a matter of common knowledge that
our grain exports must naturally be
curtailed by the gradual building up
of our farm lands. But we are find
ing that our manufactures are more
than compromising for the decline in
our shipments of farm products. II
is estimated by the bureau of sta
lSllcS at washington lOI instance,
that our exports of the products of
our factories will. during the fiscal
yea- just begun, exceed one billion of
dollars. In the twelve months ending
with the June value was $91O,0O0,OOO,
which itself was an increase Of Is y
over the preceding year, and of vir-
tually 1000 in decade. In 1901 the
value of our manufactured exports
was only $466,OOO.OOO and twenty
years ago s1sS. 100000 covered the
total shipments under this classified
ton.
''rhis is a movement that is exceed
ingly suggestive of the increasing
prosperity of our country prosper
ity that must of necessity be reflected
in the earnings of our great trans
portation systems and industrial cor
porations, and a prosperity that from
now on, I believe, will be actively in
creased by the new reciprocal trade
arrangements that has just been auth
! Orized with our neighbors on the

north. In this Canadian reciprocity
will be found the Incentive for build
ing up new industries in various Sec
tons of the country; and it is not 60
ing beyond bounds to also see in this
new departure in our tariff policy
the beginning of a movement where
by the same encouragement for recip-
rocal trade will be extended to other
countries. see in the Canadian
agreement the beginning of new
era of international friendship-of a
new era of international peace. The
formal arbitration treaties that have
this week been signed by England.
France and ourselves are merely 9TH
er evidences of the favor that the
peace movement is assuming through
out the world. And who will say that
international peace does not mean in
