Good Conditions on Farm.

Baton Rouge.-Crop conditions are
splendid on Angola farm, according to
Colonel c. Harrison Parker, president
of the Board of Control of the State
Penitentiary. During the hard but
unsuccessful fight the board made
to save Angola from overflow this
spring, the convicts had to be con-
centrated on the levee line to hold it
against the rising waters, and as a
result during that period the working
of the crops was neglected. The con-
victs have now resumed work on the
crops, and the conditions in all of the
fields are splendid.

FEW MEN OUT OF WORK.

H.
The New York bureau Of labor sta
tistics has published a bulletin on the
conditions in that state so far as the
working classes are concerned, which
is accepted as rejecting the state OF
affairs throughout the country. The
report shows steady decrease in the
number of unemployed. Since the
first quarter of last year there has
been constant growth in the demand
for hands in the various industries
and coupled with this is the state
ment that the pressure shows no signs
LOT diminution. This is one of the
signs Of the times that stimulates the
optimistic. We are at the beginning
|of a new administration. The policy
|of the government has been changed
and the old methods are being re-
vised. Instead of men being thrown
out OF employment as had been freely
predicted, more men are being put to
work, and the demand is almost great
er than the supply. There is no reason
to fear that our prevailing prosperity
lis in danger of being checked. The
business of the country has grown tc
such enormous proportions that 1t is
unaffected by the old influences and
men of capital have ceased to be ap
Iprehensive over a change of economic
policy.

STATE FOOD I Avs.

The supreme court OF the United
States has made decision affecting
the enforcement of state food laws.
Wisconsin has a food law which i'm
poses different requirements from the
federal pure-food law and the ques-
ton at Issue was whether packed
merchandise, labeled in accordance
with the requirements of the federal
statute. should have to be relabeled
when received into state whose food
law differs from the federal law The
court ruled that the merchandise in
litigation remained in the province OF
interstate commerce and was conse,
auently subject to federal law The
effect of the decision is believed to
make void the food law OF Wisconsin
and probably many other states, in
cases where the manufacturer ships
direct to the retailer, though not in
cases where the manufacturer having
sold to a jobber the latter sells to the
retailer in the same state.

BANKING PRINCIPLES APPLIED
To LEE

LIT. J. 1. Jones. pastor of the First
Congregational church in Council
Bluffs. made most forceful plea for
the recognition of banking principles
In life in his address before the bank
ers' meeting in that city last week.
Some people affect to despise and in
discriminatory condemn wealth. They
breathe out sentimental yaporing
against money. They constantly quote
with a biased and distorted empha.
sis the scriptural statement that the
root of all evil is love of money. They
Seem to think that to make money.
even honestly, constitutes the un-
pardcnable sin. The Council BUNS
minister acknowledged that he is not
a financier, but he declared that he
knows that money is vital and nee
essary factor in modern life. In II.
lustration of this fact he said:
Money is the great instrument of as.
ISOLATION, the very fiber of our social
organism. the vitalizing force of in.
lcustry, the protoplasm of civilization
and as essential to its existence AZ
oxygen is to animal life Without
money civilization could have had nc
beginning. and with diminishing
supply of money civilization would
languish and die.
Capital is term of very large con
tent. In fact, all the terms used In
the banking world may be appropriate

Liabilities, losses, overdrafts. assets

ethical as well as an economic value
The supreme lesson that every mar
