BETTER TIMES HERE

The brief announcement in the dis
patches of the return from England
OF a representative of a great manu-
featuring concern of South Bend, Ind.
with an order from the British gov
ernment for $15,0O0000 worth of au-
tomobiles, wagons, sleds, harness and
equipment, and that England has also
contracted with Kenosha, Wis, firm
for 500 automobile trucks, while
France has placed an order in Jack
son, Mich, for automobiles to the
value of more than $1,00O,000, is
something more than a straw to show
which way the commercial winds are
blowing in this country.
More than anything else, it shows
the process of readjustment to the
abnormal conditions brought about by
the war has been almost, if not en-
tirely completed, and that the Ameri-
can manufacturer, who for the last
three months has faced a situation OF
blank despair, can look forward to
the immediate coming of the period
c. unprecedented prosperity that has
been predicted by those most famil-
lar with the problems confronting the
business interests of the country.
The nations now at war will require
other things besides automobiles,
wagons, trucks and harness. Right
here in New Mexico the country is
being secured for horses available fer
military purposes. Clothing. food,
manufactured articles of every des-
cription. all must be had by the peo-
pie of Europe. and it is to the United
States that they must look for tn m.
With the opening up of the factories
of the country en- full time the prob
lem of unemployment will be solved
indeed there is every prospect that
the problem of the near future will
be to secure sufficient labor to fill
the gigantic orders that will pour in
upon the American manufacturer.
The man who can find no cheer in
the present industrial situation in the
United States is indeed a pessimist.
1t is no longer a case of better time
coming-the better time is already
here. and it behooves every citizen to
bestir himself to seize the opportun-
tiles that now lie right at his door

THOUSANDS OF IDLE
MEN PUT AT WORK

Americas predicted prosperity is
arriving The trade revival is upon
us. Business is beginning to boom!
Haven't you noticed the signs and
felt that great glow of optomism
which is thrilling banker, laborer and
businessman alike?
Here are some of the reasons for
their glowing joy:
In spite of the so-called 'interrup
tion of the ocean trade" our exports
for three mid4October days were
sS, 1858. Fer the same period last
year they were $6,56O. .966-almost $2.-
900 900 more in this "off season!"
The New England textile indust-
ries are receiving enormous orders
from abroad, enough to keep them
booming all winter. One concern
must supply over 100000 pairs Of
socks per week until the end Of the
year, and others have orders for 10,-
900 dozen flannel shirts, 1000 900
rolls of bandage gauze, 100000 yards
of cotton duck, 100000 yards of crash
200 900 pounds of absorbent cotton.
1t will take 25 or 80 of the nation S
biggest knitting mills to supply the
rush orders for over 100000 woolen
sweaters which has just come from
England.
OF our enormous wheat crop, it is
estimated that $500 ,0O0. 900 worth
will be exported to the warning ma
tions.
All the millions of dollars that Eur
ope must pay for these exports of
ours will come back to America to
stimulate business.
1t isn't only the nations at war
which are coming after goods. The
Merchants Association, of New York,
announces that orders and inquiries
for American manufacturers have
come in from 30 foreign countries
in about one week. Electrical goods
are demanded by Australia and South
Africa; foodstuff by India, and by
Canadian provinces; South America
ware and glass. John r. Silliman,
! President Wilson's personal repres-
entative in Old Mexico, states that
close to 100 per cent of Mexico's for
eign trade will soon be coming to
the United States.
| But it is not only the export bust
ness that has begun to throb with
new life. From Cincinnati there
comes glowing reports of unusually
liberal offers for boots and shoes,
placed by dealers all over the coun-
try. Marshall Field & Co., of Chic
ago, say that the bookings of orders
for spring delivery are far ahead of
what they were last year. In the
New York clothing trade, a years
truce has been arranged between
striking employees and manufactures,
and this means that close to 100000
workers will be kept busy in this
line throughout the winter.
There is still other and more gem
eral indications of the dawning pros
perity. The American Railway as
sociation's last report shows that
since August l, over $1,000 freight
cars that were idle on that date.
have been put in use and the number
of idle cars in now less than at amy
time, with one short exception, since
last January. This is a sure sign
Of big business prosperity.-Rocky
