BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Dun's Trade Report Gives Eneour-
agement for alt Lines Of Business.

From the Freeport. ILL.,. Standard. Sept.
II. 1912.
Dun's trade report for the past
week gives encouragement for all
lines of business. crops and manu-
featuring enterprises. In part the
report says:
Continuous advance in trade activ-
ity is the tenor Of the reports from
the principal manufacturing and dis
tributing centers last week. The ad-
vance is both in actual volume OF
transactions and in that confidence
which is the basis Of healthy busi-
ness.
The big August bank cleartngs are
a development Of present activity and
buoyancy. Clearings in August gain
ed as per cent. over last year. while
during this week they increased 1O.o
per cent. over 1911 and 17.6 per cent.
over 1910. The evidence of these
clearings is confirmed by the current
railroad gross earnings. which show
q gain of 6.S per cent. over 1911.
Rates Of money are hardening in all
parts of the world, a plain response
to the greater movements of trade
and commerce and the bigger de-
mands Of new enterprises. The in
creased confidence In the financial
markets Is illustrated by the fact
that the August output of new se-
curities and short-term notes in this
country was $92 100000 greater than
year ago. The remarkable consump-
tion of iron and copper products con-
tinues to the point of actual capacity,
and all the principal industries show
satisfactory activity.

PROSPERITY lessons CRIME
Secret Service Chief Says That With
Good Times There Is Less
law-Breaking.

From the Buffalo. y. Y. Inquirer.
The department OF agriculture in
its latest announcement reports bum
per crops OF corn. white potatoes.
spring wheat. cats. rye and buck
wheat.
Business agencies report booming
iron and steel trade. strong demand
for cars and decrease in the number
OF commercial failures.
The most novel sign OF prosperity
however. is recorded by Chief John
E Wilkie of the United States secret
service. Whenever work is plentiful
and employment easily obtainable."
says Chief Wilkie. crime is less. and
this rule. which has been demon
strated by years OF experience. ap-
plies as much to counterfeiting as to
other offenses against the law"
AS general proposition easy times
are the times freest OF crime. indicat-
ing that distress Is the cause of much
law breaking.

AS it dawns upon the Republicans
who followed Roosevelt to his third
party that it is impossible to elect him,
they are naturally returning to the
Republican party. This is one source

this same marvellous gain-the most

BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY.

From the Belot. Wis. Free Press. Sep
ternber H. 1917.
Bank deposits are a sure Indicator
of prosperity in city. and on this
point Beloit banks show a steady in
crease and this city on this score
compares most favorably with the
outside world. Total deposits In the
fou- banks according to the current
statements aggregate $4.34s,4.s46. of
which $2.569.371.14 represent the saw
ings of the people Rockford with
three times the population has little
more than double the amount of
money on deposit in her seven banks
Figuring Beloits population at $4,000.
which Is probably conservative, the
per capita deposits in the banks
amount to $2.41h. which is pretty
good showing.

We would like to have more space
to devote to such letters as that of
President Taft addressed to governors
of the states regarding low er inter.
ests. for farmers, because there is
more to it than could be told in a
volume of print. 1t is the greatest
piece of proposed legislation that
has been made by any present or
former statesman Put into effect it
will not only develop but will go far
to revolutionize our Industrial and hn-
ancial systems.

There is every reason why the state
Republican ticket should be elected.
There is every reason and then some
why the state-wrecking Democratic
party ticket should be defeated. The
case is palmer than day If you want
Colorado to go on to absolute bank
ruptcy, to continue the victim of graft
and political acknowledgement, vote the
Democratic ticket. This is plain Ian
guage but none too plain.

Honest John" Shafroth always was
a fraud. and. those who knew him suf-

aware of the fact. His allowing the

instead of his $1,000 salary is another
evidence against Honest John"

Can Be Affected by Politics.

Henry Clews. the New York finan-
cial expert. says In his weekly letter
that business conditions are good
especially In the west. but he points
that they may become unsettled by
political developments.
There we're good times before the
last Democratic administration. but
they soon became bad times. The
country does not want history to re-
peat itself.

BIG PRICES FOR OLD BOOKS.
Great Bargains Picked Up From the
"Two-Penny Box"
From London Tit-Bits.

The "two-penny box" so well known
to freQuenters Of second hand book shops.
does not seem to be a very promising
field In which to go prospecting for a
fortune. but big finds have actually been
discovered there, all the same. There
are two values to old books--the bihio-
maniac's value and the dealers value,
the two not being of necessity related
and owing to this the ''two-penny box Is
not the Tom Tiddler's ground II once was.
All the same, a man recently picked mp
an old copy of Quarles Divine En-
blems' there, and sold it half an hour
after for Ct.
A more lucky find was made by
Icyclst in an inn at Basngstoke some
years ago. He was held up by the
weather. and to help pass the time the
landlord hunted up lot OF old books
for his amusement. One Of them SO took
his fancy that he offered to buy it. The
landlord gave 1t to him as gift X
turned out to be first edition of PEN
nants Account of London" and he

how books will in certain cases become
as valuable as precious stones. Take tho
original edition of Burns, for instance.
which was published at 3s I'd. and on
something like $40. There is copy in
the Burns Museum for which f1.7O0 was
paid.
But there are a few bargains still to be
picked up. How would Moliere's COM
edy, lie Misanthrope." do to begin with?
1t was published in 1867 and may be
worth G24. Or there is the l119 Rob

Superstitions About Gems.

From Hafpers weekly.
From early antiquity divers influences
have been attributed TO precious stones.
Stones, just as flowers, held symbolical
meanings and We're supposed to influence
the minds and destinies Of those who wore
them. An amethyst hung from the neck
of a drunkard was considered cure for
drunkenness. Carnelian caused meian-
choly and the onyx was the emblem OF
sadness; red agate had power to drive
away evil thoughts. The sard created
friendship between men and women; the
sardOnyx inspired modesty and chastity In
it's wearers. Cats-eye induced wealth
and long life: jasper conferred eloquence.
and for that reason it was given to law
yers and to preachers. Coral drove away
fear. murderers and evil spirits and cured
children Of nocturnal fears, Gained the
fairy of the sea and cured diseases Of the
eyes, Amber prevented deafness and heal
ed goitre
Most precious stones We're reputed to
exert a benign influence and to be good
for the sight. Aquamarine gave hope to
the sorrowing; the beryl gave to a woman
the power to charm the man she loved
Malachite symbolized peace OF mind, gave
success to people engaged in business and
in lawsuits; the opal, the sapphire and
the topaz, good luck.
Among diamonds the story OF the Hope
stone, which Is reputed to have brought
misfortune to all its owners, is Well
known. The Saucy diamond was also sup
posed to bring bad luck Charles the Bold
wore 1t when he was killed in the battle
of Nancy In 1477. and the servitor to
whom Saucy intrusted the diamond was
assassinated on the highway. Henrietta
of France. the wife of the Inflated
Charles of England. wore ii, and carried
it when she fed to France. Later she
was forced by poverty to sell il. The
Saucy diamond was bought by the crown
and seemed to change its character. In
1902 it was stolen with the Regent and
several celebrated stones Since 1920 it
has figured among the jewels of a Rus
sian prince.
