AT ST. LOUIS SUNDAY TO OPEL CiALLY CLOSE YELLED
 PROPHET WEEK.
TORPEDO BOAT WILL ATTEND
Chairman Butler Invites All Boat Owners to Join in Making Parade Greatest in History of Father
 of Waters"

The crowning event of Yelled Prophet Week at St. Louis will be a river meet the afternoon of Sunday, October II, on the Mississippi, includ- ing parade of several hundred dec orated power boats, and, afterward, speed-boat and rowing races.
 A balloon piloted by H. E. Honey we'll of St. Louis, an aeronaut of inter- national reputation, will rise from the river as a signal to the multitudes which presumably will be assembled along the shore, when the head of the parade starts north from the Free Bridge. This feature has been ar ranged by the Aero Club of St. Louis.
 Other features for the free enter tainment of the public will include a life-saving exhibition, under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic As sOciation.

CONFIDENCE IS GROWING
Conditions Arising Out of War
 Are Being Adjusted.

New York.-Despite the pro- bability that the European war will continue indefinitely, it is now agreed that commercial con- ditions in this country are rapid ly improving and that outlook for business generally is very bright.
 "Very much greater confi- dence is felt here, says a Wash ington dispatch to the New York Journal of Commerce, "in the prospect regarding the rectifica- tion of the general commercial situation. The one thing which, more than any other, is deemed to show a return of normal con- ditions is the resumption of cot ton exports actually in progress or about to go. The movement already amounts to more than 100000 bales, according to state ments transmitted to foreign trade authorities here. That this movement, if continued, will result in enlarging the balances in favor of the United States, and will consequently greatly al- leviate the foreign exchange sit uation, is fully believed and pre- dicted.
 Ut is probable that within a short time, according to the best informed men, the exchange sit uation will thus become very much more nearly normal and as a result, one phase of the pres ent difficulties will be eliminated from further consideration.
 Improvement in the near fu- ture is predicted not only i'll cot ton but also in number of Oth- CT lines on the strength of the information which has been re- ceived here during the past day or two. The reports from the Northwest seem to show that conditions there are most satis- factory and that the sales of grain are already realizing active cash returns much beyond the expectations of growers earlier in the season. Manufactured exports and imports are expected to continue small for a good while, although if the beginning of peace negotiations can be hastened it is believed that an almost immediate revival of trade will be enjoyed"
 In New York foreign exchange is steadily dropping. The eX- change market is now being reg ulated by the natural order of supply and demand and that the former exceeds the latter. The payment this week of approXi- mately $S,250,000 New York City obligations relieved the eX- change market from a buying power that might have ca Tied the rate above S5. Sentiment is running so strongly in favor of a closer approach to normal conditions that uptown import CTS of fabrics and downtown i'm porters of sugar, coffee, and oth- CT commodities in New York City, are practically out of the market.

Just because you are feeling the illeffects of a torpid liver is no excuse for buying a harmful medicine that has brought phys ical decay to thousands. Calomel is dangerous and as everyone knows has very disagreeable and weakening after effects. Medi- cal science has found a natural, vegetable remedy, GRIGSBY'S LIV-VER-LA that thoroughly cleanses the liver and bowels without causing any bad feeling. Children can take,it with perfect safety. Every bottle guaran- teed. soc and $1 a bottle. None genuine without the likeness and signature of L. K. Grigsby. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

Parade in Three Divisions.

The parade is to be in three divi sions, commanded, the first by Col. c. c. Butler, who, besides being chair man of the River Parade Committee, is commodore of the St. Louis Yacht Club and member of Governor Ma jor's official staff; the second by Dr.. B. M. Whitsett, commodore of the Ca rondelet Motor Boat Club. and the third by Otto Larson, commodore of the South Side Motor Boat Club.

 Open to All Boat Owners.
 The River Parade Committee has mailed to river clubs from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico the fol- lowing communications
 ITO All Boat Owners:
 The parade of decorated river craft, and the speed-boat and rowing races immediately following it, will take place the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. II, 1914, and jointly will consti- ute the grand finale of Yelled Prophet Week The Navy Department will be represented by the United States Tor, pedo Boat Somers. St. Louis, the home of more boat owners than live in any other city on the Mississippi river, would seem the logical point for the greatest parade in the history of that river and such we hope this parade will prove.
 "Open, absolutely without cost, to all boat owners, whether affiliated with any club or not and whether re- siding at St. Louis, Chicago, New Or leans or any other Mississippi Valley city, the parade will be representa- tive, not only of St. Louis, but also of the Mississippi Valley. Flags and bunting with which to decorate will be provided gratis by the Business Mems League of St Louis, and many valuable prizes, both club and indi- vidual, will be offered by St. Louis business concerns.
 Starts at P. M. Sharp.
 "The parade will start north at ?. m, sharp, from the Free Bridge, all boats entering the line in numerical order, each in accord with the num- Der assigned to it, and each maintain ing its proper position throughout the parade. The judges will award the prizes by number The parading boats will turn at Mckinley Bridge and move downstream, still in numerical order to the starting point Gree Ai'NSN(' "ANAC IhCy VIII ulSDdnu, those wishing to view the races to anchor north of that bridge, on the Illinois side.
 Rowing races downstream between the Eads Bridge and the Free Bridge will start immediately after the rear end of the parade on the upstream trip passes the Eads Bridge
 "All those desiring to enter the parade should mail at once to the River Parade Committee, American Hotel, St. Louis, their name and ad. dress and the size and style of their boat. Each will be duly advised at which of the several river clubs to apply for the package containing the decorations apportioned him.

 Those desiring further particulars as to the speed-bOat races should com municate with Dr. Max c. Starkloff chairman of the Speed-Boat Race Committee, 7619 South Broadway. St Louis. The Rowing Race Committee

bathing ths face in an astringent

powdered saxolite in half pint witch

Stella writes: my complexion is

it," Get an ounce of mercolized wax

er company, visited Fort Madison re-.
Gently and gave the following inter
view according to the Democrat OF
that city: Fort Madison certainly is
all right at heart, and the only thing
the matter here is some curious mis-
conception of what the interests of
the Mississippi River Power company
are. said c. B. Rhodes, Industrial
commissioner of the water-power
company Just before he took the
train after his recent visit here.
Just what are those misconcep-
tions?" he was asked. and Mr..
Rhodes replied hurriedly before tbs
train started about as follows:
ITS all based on rumors instead
Of facts, of course, and one is the
tendency to believe and spread any
rumor, however absurd it actually Is.
Now, what could be more absurd
than that the Mississippi River Pow
er company may work against any
one city in favor of another. Anybody
ought to know that when manufac-
zone, attracted by our water-power
and electric current, that man is not
going to be satisfied until he has in
vestigated all the possible locations
along our transmission line territory.
We couldn't keep him out OF Fort
Maditon, if we wanted to, and it
would be absurd to attempt to do it.
Foolish Fright at Ghosts.
For anoth ar thing, the interest
OF the company is to locate the manu-
facturer along our transmission lines, /
and we can't be very particular just
