BUSINESS BOOM ON
GLOON AND DEPRESSION CAUSED
BY EUROPEAN WAR SLOWLY
DRAWING ASIDE.
BIG INCREASE IN EXPORTS
Commerce Secretary Gives His Views
on Business, Finance, Farm and
MilI--McAdoo. Submits Figures on
the Situation.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-While the
forces of destruction are being mobi-
lized in ever-increasing strength in the
warning countries of Europe, public
and private constructive agencies are
at work on this side of the Atlantic,
and resources of peace are being con.
centrated to overcome the i'll effects
of the world war.
All information reaching govern
mental departments indicates that the
gloom and depression which overlook
business enterprises in the United
States when the war burst is slowly
drawing aside, and glimpses of present
and coming prosperity are visible.
The hopeful outlook for American
ventures was summarized by Score
tary Redfield in letter to the cham.
Der of commerce of the United States
It was reflected also in statement by
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury de
partment on imports and exports.
Telegraphic statements received by
Secretary McAdoo from the ten lead
ing ports of entry showed that the i'm
port business last Saturday at ports
handling 81 per cent of all imports
amounted to s2,S30,512; exports from
these ports, handling 70 per cent of all
exports, amounted to $10,421,551.
The daily average for these ports in
November, 1913, was: Imports, $4,923,-
1877; exports, $6,983,426
Mr.. Redfield here wrote his view, al
ready given, about "the worst that can
be said" of American conditions.
There is always room in country
as large as ours, and with such various
conditions as exist in its different por-
tons" he continued, ''for the pessimist
to find some hook on which he can
hang his mournful prophecies.
"One need not react to the other ex-
IRENE and exclaim that the special
prosperity of one is an indication of
equally good conditions everywhere.
THE truth lies between, but no OBJ
server of the large movements in our
commerce today fails to recognize the
great Improvement that has been
made in business conditions within
the last few weeks and which is still
progressing"

ed a few months later, when the
original Monitor arrived in the nick
of time off Hampton roads. After the
encounter with the Merrimac it was
believed for several years that the
monitor type of war vessel had revo-
lutionized naval warfare Then came
time when American naval experts
educated the people to the idea that
the monitors we're no longer of much
use in general naval warfare.
In England, however, the type has
been retained, and for Americans, at
least. one of the surprises of the war

Constantinople, Nov. IL (via Ber-

statement issued here. 1t follows:
Turkish troops yesterday occupied

The casualties have been heavy for
both armies, but the German losses
certinly have been greater than those

by the publication in the German press

gonne, while the siege of Verdun was

THERE'S NEED FOR ACTION HERE.

It may be amusing to hear man employed to
arrest speeding autoists give as his excuse for
quitting his job after only two days experience
that he would lose every friend he had in town.
if he enforced the law, but it does not by any
means remedy situation which has needed at
tention for months. The violation of the anti
speeding ordinance by Olympia autoists is not
only disgrace to them but constant menace to
pedestrians and striking rebuke to those who
are presumed to enforce the ordinance
Olympia, to mind, should pat itself on its
back because it has had no more automobile ac
cdents than it has. How this city has escaped
with the reckless disregard for human life and
human rights displayed by many motorists, is as
tonishing. How much longer it will be before
there is an accident that will bring sorrow to some
and warning to others, can tell We trust
it will never come.

KEEPING THE PEOPLE INFORMED.

We agree most heartily with the decision of the
farmers special committee to keep constantly in
touch with the county's affairs and from time to
time publish for the benefit of the farmers of the
county statement of what is happening. This
is most laudable decision and one that is bound
to produce fruitful results perhaps in the conduct
Of the county affairs, but even if not there, in
awakening and keeping awake the interest of the
taxpayers of the county in their own business, an
interest that is far too liable to lag
If some such an organization had followed such
q plan in the years that have gone by, the situa-
ton would not exist as it does or at least to the
extent that it does. Constant watchfulness is the
price we must pay for efficiency, competency and
economy in our public affairs. That the taxpayers
Of Thurston county beginning to pay that price
is something for which they to be congratu-

FACTORS or FARM PROFITS.

Those who have made any study at all of the
farming business from the economic standpoint
appreciate that there are certain factors which,
working together, determine whether any parti-
cular farm will be money maker. Those factors
have just been summarized in recent bulletin
Of the federal department of agriculture as az
low real estate prices; ~ farm products of
classes for which there is greater demand than
supply; 90 the magnitude Of the farm business,
measured either by the amount of land farmed or
the amount Of labor required; az high quality
Of products; 10 the reputation of the producer,
which applies especially to the production of pure
bred breeding stock; 90 advantageous marketing;
ca productiveness Of animals kept; 80 largest
yield with relatively little labor and fertilizer;
(9) low cost Of production which involves good
farm organization and (10) the stability of profit
depends on the staple character of the products
These are the ideals. They are not attainable
Of course, on every farm, but they should be the
things every farmer should strive to attain Upon
the amount of thought, common sense and energy
he displays in striving to bring all these factors to
their fullest expression on his farm, will depend
the amount Of the dividend he will be able to de-
clare at the end Of the year. If he does not make
any money, he can be sure of one thing: these
factors are not in free operation on his farm.

1t was not so very many years ago that the

more the object of derision and jest than factor
