Throughout the Rocky mountains,
ages ago, God Almighty built

SIGNS or THE TIMES.

II people Of the United States can
be patient and continue to work with
hands and brains. the time is not
far distant when prosperity In all
lines must come our way
No man plants a crop and expects
to reap harvest the next day or
week.
A peculiar business condition came
onto the world suddenly and neces-
sarily It has taken time and thought
to adjust the economic affairs to
the new conditions.
The prevalence OF war In Europe
checked the market therefore Amer
lean products and as a matter OF bus
mess precaution the American Ex-
changes we're closed and nobody
would venture to establish markets.
We had to wait for necessity to force
the world to buy our products. That
time seems now just about here.
batin American countries must
have supplies and the United States
Is practically the only country in po-
sitlon to supply them. They must
ind market for their products and
will look to US TO buy from them.
European countries must have
food and clothing and we have an
abundance OF grain cotton and meat.
Already the demand for food
stuffs has stimulated production In
this country and farmers and stock
growers have opened to them an un-
usual opportunity to grow indepen-
dent. II now our people will take ad-
vantage Of the conditions the com
merce Of the whole world will center
In this country. OF course there will
be spectators and middle men seek
ing to rake off the greater share OF
the profits. but producers should
stand organized to combat the bear
ish element whenever It shows up.
The American cotton market has
been showing increased strength for
a few days
This Is due to several causes. The
re-opening Of the New York and Liv-
erpool exchanges has had effect. the
declaration OF England that Ameri-
can cotton would be protected In
transit has boosted shipping conf
dence. Orders from German for
American cotton has put new life
into the trade and at last the world
is coming to see that even countries
At war cannot absolutely neglect
their industries and live. Therefore
German factories and factories In

other countries must have our raw
material. There is also here an In.
creasing tendency to provide add
tlonal facilities for manufacturing
at home. The American mills are
busy. one knitting factory in Wis
consin is over run with orders for
knit garments for the soldiers. This
mill is working every minute and Is
troubled to get sufficient laborers
to meet demands.

The foreign demand for meat will
bring profit to raisera Of hogs and
cattle and incidentally will reflect

The demand for war horses will
effect every grade Of horses. Up to
this week there had been IS cars Of
cavalry horses shipped from Fort
Worth. The places Of these horses
must be filled by stock Of more In
