FACTS VS. PSYCHOLOGY.

men of America that while there IS
trade depression it is mere psycho-
logical"
Can an extra dose of psychology
give hack TO 1000, 600 railroad owners
that SOS 900, 600 which their propertl.
es have lost in eight months this IFS
cal year compared with the year be-
fore the Wilson regime started?
Is il only dream or concrete TACT
that | 900 900 wOrkmen are now out
of job?
Can a mental state account for the
amazing reversal in Americas inter
national trade figures, where month
ly excess of exports UP to S'o'C0o,-
600 has turned into a balance against
us of $4,000, 600 for April?
Does mere sentiment reduce our
steel mill output to 60 per cent OF its
capacity? Was it Hysteria that blew
out $4,000 Pennsylvania coke ovens?
No, it was not a merely psyche
logical notion that unloaded Amerl-
can-made traffic from 100000 freight
cars and put them out of commission.
Baldwins didn't discharge more than
half their employees out of pique.
Building operations in the United
States have not fallen greatly simply
to create political sentiment. Our
bankers are not sending shiploads OF
gold to Europe to spite some body.

ed in eighteen months to a level OF

chologically but Concretely.
1t is an outrageous mOckery for
those whose excessive legislative
meddling is largely responsible for
present trade ills to pretend that the
people who have suffered the loss and
who are out of work are themselves
to blame.

serious Interruptions TO mining oper

industrial peace is assured in the an
thracite region until 1916.
As the use of anthracite coal as a
manufacturing fuel has been practl
cally eliminated, its production is moi
affected by trade conditions to the
same extent as that of bituminous
coal. The increase in the use OF artt
fetal gas and of coke for domestic
purposes will. in MIR. Parker's estima

little probability that ant 1racite pro

Another record in addition to thal
of tonnage was established in the an

"One cannot help but notice the
wonderful difference in the roads in
the last five years" observes tde Keo-
ia Eagle. During last Thursday
night and early Friday morning we
had an inch of rainfall, which, five
years ago, would have made the roads
muddy and rutty for four or five days.
but on Friday afternoon the Great
White Way from Keota to Washing
ton was as smooth as boulevard,
with just one exception small mud
hole near the Milwaukee railway. just
west of Washington. IL is all due to
the attention the road has been given
in the way of grading and dragging.
When one can travel over a dirt road
six hours after an inch Of rainfall and
not encounter as much as single
drop OF mud, we do not see the need

the past week were unusually favor.
able for the growth of vegetation.
The average temperature was about

of the state received copious to heavy

In the northern and western districts
and as result field work has been

too rank. However In the south cen

droughty conditions have prevailed
during the past month the rains will
be of great help to all crops except
hay, which will be light. Corn has
made phenomenal growth and, in
some localities will average knee high.
Oats are heading in all sections, and
in the southern counties are filling
well, although the straw will be short.
In the northern and western counties
some oats were lodged even before
they began heading Much clover and

SONGS OF FLAG DAY
Sing a song of flag day,
So the folks will know
That today is drag day,
Everywhere they go.
Eat hearty breakfast
When the morn is grey.
For we start at dawn to
Drag the roads today.
Sing a song of dress suits,
Changed to overalls,
Never mind your necktie
When the road drag calls.
Not much chance for posing
In your glad array,
II your out to help us
Drag the roads today.
Sing a song of labor.
Morning, noon and night.
Show your lazy neighbor
How to do things right.
Fill your mules and horses
Full of oats and hay.
Bucket on their straps and
Drag the roads today.
Sing a song of gravel,
Scattered on the roads,
Stands the fastest travel,
And the greatest loads.
Though the rains of April
Linger till July,
Little grains of gravel,
Keep the mud-holes dry.
Sing a song of tight wads.
Smelling out their dough,
Four and twenty bags full,
Everywhere they go.
Telling every knocker,
When he hollers loud.
Don't you know there are no
Pockets in a shroud?'
Sing a song of flag day.
Let them float on high;
Every flag on drag day,
Floats for you and |.
May that starry banner.
Old red, white and blue.
Wave DER peace and road drags,
All the ages through.
