LARGE BUSINESS EXPANSION
Shor Manufacturer Thinks Hour Has
Come When People Should Stop
Preaching Hard Times.

Boston, July--The head of the
United Shoe Machinery Company
testified that Endicott, johnson & Co.
are the largest shoe manufacturers in
the world, and as the shoe machinery
Cooperation must have the record
from its machines it must know.
4 customer recently wrote asking
Henry g. Endcott his views on the
general situation. Mr.. Endicott's re-
spousc.ia so at variance with tie pcss-
imism one hears in Wall Street and
State Street that we have obtained a
copy Of this letter and give it in full,
as follows:
answering your inquiry as to how
| feel in regard to future business con-
ditions, would say that believe we
are on the eve of very large business
expansion.
Critics, it always seems to me have
an easy job. | attended a baseball
game yesterday. and sat on the bleach.
ers, and it was surprising how much
more about the game the men around
ME knew than the umpire or the
players.
"Such being the case in the baseball
business, it is not surprising to find so
many men that think they can improve
upon the job Of the President
81 am not writing you this letter to
defend the President. | question
whether any defense from me would
do any good, but ! do believe that Il
lot Of opportunities are wasted by the
country as Il whole, spending tco much
time criticising the present admins
tration.
There is no need for me 70 write
you about the crops and the effect this
will have on the purchasing power Of
the country These effects are eX-
plotted every day in the papers. but
in my judgment, it is the combination
of all these things mentioned that will
bring forth the large expansion in
business which | firmly believe is COM
ing to this country.
my belief is, that if the American
people, as a whole, whether they are
for or against the administration,
whether they are free traders or pro-
tectionists, whether they are trust
presidents or day laborers, will just
stop wasting their time talking about
the hard things that have come to us
and realize the facts as they are, we
will see the largest business that this
ountry has ever had
81 don't mean by the above state
ments that | think we are going to
have an easy time doing business in
this county. On the contrary, think
competition will be keener than ever,
but the business houses built on eco
nomical lines will be in shape to get
this competition. In my Judgment the
old-fashioned eXtravagantly managed
concerns will have to fall by the way

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. THE month
~ crop report Of the State Experiment
Station, issued &c day says:
The rainfall for July was deficient
over irtually the entire state. ~
IRENE heat nus also injured crops.
Only the Western part Of the state h.,
had anything like sufficient moisture.
an General way the territory THAI
has suiIc ed least is west of Inc
extending from Barry County, in the
ScHhT, tern part of the state, to
Cooper county, in the northwest. The
counties bordering the Kansas line
south from the Missouri River, and
the northwest Missouri River coun-
ties are generally in good condition,
as are few of the river counties in
the western and west central parts Of
the state.
with but one exception, all CORE
spondents in southeastern Missouri
report need of rain. For the state, as
a whole, so per cent make sir'ilar re-
ports
an brief it may be said that while
a few counties received good rains
during July, the territory of deficient
moisture has enlarged.
Condition of Corn
Condition of corn for the state is
CO, as compared with 81 one month
ago. The heaviest loss has been in
the southwestern section, where CON
ditions fall from So to -. Butler,
Carter, Dent, Iron and Oregon coun-
ties report corn conditions at less than
%, while n dozen other counties are
but little better. In contrast with
this in northwest Missouri, where
corn conditions is 81, which, however,
is loss of IL points for the month.
In this section, Andrew, Atchison,
Holte, Platte, and jackson average
90 or better, while several other coun-
tics are almost as good.
an some parts of the state much
corn will go in shock or silo before
the end of the month A few farmers
are now feeding green corn.
Most of Wheat Threshed
at is estimated that IS per cent of
the wheat has been threshed, the
average yield being about seventeen
bushels. One yield of forty-seven
and half bushels and another of fif-
ty is reported, while there are num-
erous reports Of better than forty
bushel yield.
"Only about 60 per cent OF the oat
crop was cut with the binder. Pre-
liminary estimate of yield is twenty
two bushels per acre. In Buchanan,
Cass, Henry and a few other coun-
ties the yield was better than thirty
bushels. One correspondent reports
yield Of 1903 IL bushels per acre on
small tract.
clay yields are reported as follows
Timothy, 6; timothy and clover mix
ed, rs; prairie, 80; mixed, SO tons. The
hay acreage is greatly reduced and
the total yield will show a decided
shortage. Pastures are poor, espec-
tally where worked on by army worms
early in the season. For the state,
pasture condition is 81. Condition of
broom corn is 80; flax, rs; melons,

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 27.-The cotton
market continued quiet today. Gables
were a shade lower and the local mar
ket opened steady at a decline of
los, but there was not mucha cotton
for sale and prices later steadied on
trade buying and scattered covering.
Bullish overnight spot advices
from the South and favorable advices
from the cotton goods trade helped
the rally, which carried prices a
point or two above last nights clos
ing before the end of the last half
hour.
Offering became heavier during the
middle of the morning, owing to an
easier turn in New Orleans and Wall
street liquidation. Active months
sold about 500 points net lower in
consequence, but the market steadied
around midday and rallied 2 or
points from the lowest on covering.
The market was barely steady dur
ing the early afternoon under contin-
ued scattering liquidation, with act
i've months ruling 500 points net
lower.
Futures closed barely steady.

COCKTAILS NAMED
CIVIL GOVERNOR
Chief Engineer Of Panama, Canal
Is Nominated BY President as
First Executive Of Zone.

Washington, jan. 27.-President
Wilson today signed an executive
order putting into operation April 1
a permanent government for the
Panama canal zone, and naming Col.
George W.. Goethals as first civil
governor.
Secretary Garrison made the an
nouncement as he carried away the
executive order from the White
House. He said Colonel Goethals had
not yet been officially informed, but
that he would be as soon as his name
was sent to the Senate, probably
some time today
Mr.. Garrison said the cabinet
meeting was devoted largely to a
discussion of the Panama canal
government. He added that the
question of tolls had not been dis
cussed, and that the executive order
merely makes provision for the coll
lection of such tolls as are provid-
ed by law.
The permanent government of the
zone, he added, by a civil governor,
eliminates the commission which is
now in charge. Members of the COM
mission are to be retained, however,
until the opening Of the canal as a
committee in charge of the arrange
ment for the celebration incident to
the opening, though without admin
istrative functions.

SUIT FOR HEART
BALM Is CLOSED
U. s. Judge Trieber Takes the Case
Under Observation-Disclosures
VIII Submit Briefs to Him
Monday.

Little Rock, Jan, 27.-After the
conclusion of the evidence in the
100000 alienation suit of Frank P.
Withers, Memphis timber man,
against James H. Pryor ST., of Ham
burg, in the United States Federal
court this morning, Judge Jacob
Trieber announced that he would
take the matter under advisement.
Instead OF arguments the attorneys
are to prepare briefs of their case
and present them to the court Mon
day morning. Judge Trieber will
the announce when he will make his
decision.
The plaintiff rested his case yes
terday afternoon and the remainder
of the day and for about an hour
this morning the defense placed wit
nesses on the stand. 1t was brought
sixty-seven years of age, was a friend
of many married women in Hamburg
and that his relations with them could
not be questioned. Several women
as we'll as their husbands corrobat-
ed each other in this testimony.
The question of whether the alleged
alienation of Mrs. Withers' affec-
lions took place after her separa-
ton from Withers probably will have
considerable bearing on Judge
Trieber's decision.
The defendant brought out testi-
mo1y to show that Withers visited
his wife here numerous times dur
ing the past few months and both
before and after the filing of the suit
asking for damages. 1t was al
legged that their relations were the
same as before their separation. This
was not proved, however.

COTTON DULL
AND MARROW
On Call Trading Months Sell / to 2

But Afterwards Values Fall
Off-ShOrt Offerings.

New Orleans, La, Jan. G.-The
cotton market was dull and narrow
in the early trading, although it still
showed underlying strength. First
prices were unchanged to 2 points
down and the tone was quoted steady.
Cables were not up to expectations,
but not much attention was paid to
them. On the call the trading
months sold y@2 points over yester-
days close, but afterwards values fell
Off under what appeared to be Offer
ings from traders who were going
short. At the end of the first half
hour of business prices were 2@4
points under yesterdays last quota
tons.
The market gradually sagged dur
ing the morning session under lack
of speculation. Very moderate offer
ings, apparently about equally divided
between the two accounts, were re-
sponsible for the sinking tendency.
Accounts from the spot market
were favorable and Texas even sent
in reports that some sections were
doing considerable new business for
February and March shipment with
foreign ports. This, however, did not
stimulate buying At noon the trad
ing months were COZ points down,
compared with yesterdays final fig
ures.
Stagnation prevailed in the after
noon. At 2 O'Clock prices were HOP
pionts under yesterdays closing level
