High barometer also prevails where
automobiles are made, in and about
the lake region Over the Northeast
ern States would be found a section
of low barometer and marked depres-
sion. If the state of mind of the diff
ferent parts of our country could be
shaded in colors, the great body of the
West would be white, while an area Of
dull gray would represent our Mort
eastern States.
IF you and 1 get away from the
crowded centerS of our Middle and
Eastern States, where mental mourn
ing exists for conditions that can never
return. since the day of mastery is
over and commerce must henceforth
be servant-if, say, we get away
from these centers into which the
light is breaking, but which it:has not
yet fully Illuminated, we shall find a
different atmosphere. From far-off
California and from Florida; from the
fields of Oklahoma and Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska comes the glad cry
af harvest all but ripe for the sickle.
There was no mourning in the orange
groves of California when saw them
in March, and Florida utters no cry of
distress in sending $4,000 carl Dads of
her fruit to market
SIT is small and pitiful thing that
men should expect to reap political
profit out of magnifying evils. How
ever, the too willing howls of the
apostles of evil are so obvious as well
as SO previous as to be on the whole
more humorous than harmful. They
make the judicious grieve, but they
bring no anxiety tC the thoughtful.

We publish the following which ap-
peared in the Courier-JOurnal of the
9Th which shows prevailing conditions
throughout the country. Some Sec
tions are prosperous while others are
depressed. A part of this may be due
to gain political advantage as stated,
but to our mind is largely due to crop
failure of last year:
Raleigh, N. c., June Secretary of
Commerce Redtield, in d speech here
today before the Chamber of Com
merce discussed business conditions
throughout the country. In part he
said:
"If we would place the business at
mosphere of the country on sort of
commercial weather map such as is
used by the Weather Service we should
find curious condition. In the ex-
treme Southeast and Southwest
would he areas where the business ha-
rometer is high. All through the great
central part of the country, where the
bulk of our wheatis grown, would be
another great area of fair weather and
high pressure. Over the great cotton
areas of the South would be no de-
preston, not even unsettled condi-
lions, but normal looking for great
agricultural favors expected to come.
