the BUSINESS OUTLOOK

AS viewed by Henry CleWS, the
general business outlook is more
promising this week. Supplies of mer.
chandise of nearly all kinds, he finds
are unquestionably light because OF
the slowing down which recent ap-
prehensions necessitated. With the
recovery of confidence and with the
promise of a good harvest, increased
activity Is only a matter of a few
weeks. 1t must be remembered that
industrial production has been abb
normally restrained for several
months. The steel trade for instance
has been running for weeks on 60
per cent of capacity; largely because
of enforced railroad retrenchment
which cannot be indefinitely prolong'
ed. The railroads will soon be com
PEELED to enter the market more free
ly, and with the assurance of good
crops and better rates will undoubt-
edIy place some liberal equipment
orders. In fact 1t would cause no sur
prise if the steel industry were TO
show one of its customary sharp re-
bounds before the end of the current
year. In the textile trades there is
also a better feeling. Both cotton
goods and WOOlenS are comparatively
scarce and exceedingly strong. In
terror distributors report a good de-
mand for nearly all classes of fabrics.
Importations of foreign goods are
coming in more freely; but the per-
centage of these compared with the
nations product as whole is not
large enough to have any serious Ell
feet. Nevertheless the new tariff has
potential influence; inasmuch as
any advance in prices here would in
vite a rapid increase in importatiOns
under existing conditions. The crop
out look continues most gratifying.
There was a slight drop during May
in the condition of wheat, but the
government report still indicates a
yield OF about 90O,000000 bushels,
which is much the largest yield ever
recorded

GREAT COFFEE PAPERS.

During the year 1913 the United
States imported 852,529,49S pounds
of coffee, having an entry value of
nearly sos, 900 900. To the average
reader this may not appear very
startling, but little circulation will
bring to mind the significance of
these figures. One pound of finely
ground coffee will make no less than
three gallons of a reasonably strong
beverage Our 1913 imports there
fore made at least 1857 100000 gal
Ions. A standard gallon contains 23l
cubic inches, or, putting it a little
differently, would fill cylindrical
coffee pot 7 inches in diameter and
6 inches high The coffee imported
in 1913 would therefore fill a cylinder
Il inches in diameter and 242,1 mil
es high. Could such a cylindey be
erected it would be necessary to take
care not to build it in the direction
of the moons orbit around the earth,
for that satellites average distance
from our planet being but 23S,S50
miles, it might knock off from the
top OF our extended coffee pot, some

nearly ten times around the earth
at the equator. All of which is men
toned merely to show that We drink
some coffee in this country.
A natural coffee plant grows into
"a tree IA to Is feet high, having a
long and slender trunk without limbs
on the lower part. The plant has
numerous thin roots growing deep
into the earth, and one central or tap
root going straight down and almost
as long as the tree is high. When
cultivated, however, the plant is gen
orally not allowed to grow beyond 6
feet in poor and s feet in rich soil.
in order to facilitate it's cultivation
and the gathering of the crop.
Healthy coffee trees produce in the
aXilla of each leaf from ~ to l6
buds which in Towering have an ex-
quisite perfume. These mowers be
come dark and wither and fall off in
two or three days, leaving groups of
seeds on the small stems. These in
turn grow into the coffee berries
which closely resemble dark red
cherries. Each berry contains two
seeds growing face to face and these
are the coffee beans of commerce.
The plant fiourishes best in well
watered regions, in a sub-tropical eli
mate at an elevation of 1900 to 5000
feet, and in a rich soil. All these
elements are found to perfection in
Brazil, especially in the four states
of Sac Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito
Santo, and Minas Geraes, whose COM
bined areas cover about one eighth
of the vast domain of the Republic.
This section produces about four-fif

and from Brazil, the United States

WORDS OF WISDOM.

In a recent address delivered by
If A Vanderbilt, president oil the New
York National City Bank, he gave
utterance TO these words OF wisdom;
The particular men who happen
for the moment to be occupying oft-
cial positions in Washington and else
where, and who are laying unbear-
able hardships upon the proper deYel-
opment of business in the United
States ARE not perhaps primarily 10
blame. The blame lies back OF them
in an i'll informed and frequent I'M
fair state Of public opinion. We have
had a period of magazines and politi-
cal undertaking which has brought
about a condition where business sue.
cess is looked upon as a crime, where
the man who has demonstrated that
he can manage his business well is
excluded from public counsel, and
where no small part of our govern
ment affairs have been put into the
hands of men who would be incom'
petent successfully to manage bust
ness affairs.
1T is idle to rail at the public rep
resentatives of one party or another,
or at one administration or another.
We have got to get back to all that
and create a sounder, a more intelll-
gent, and a more honest public opin-
ion. That will never be done by a
policy OF silence on the part of those
who represent important business in
terests. You and other business men
must wake up to the fact that you
have a public duty in the education
of public opinion, and so long as you
refrain from exercising it, you will
not only hinder the industrial and
commercial development of this
whole country, but you will very d.
rectly permit your own business to
be misunderstood and to be made the
subject of unfair and uneconomic at
tack"

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

Business men engaged in export
trade complain of an unusual condi
ton. Almost the whole world is sui
fering from trade depression which
seems to spring from a common cause
too much legislation of the kind that
unSettles business.
In England business has been de,
pressed for several years by a series
of radical laws. Trade has become so
unsettled that a few months ago the
governors of the Bank of England,
for the first time in the history of
that institution, addressed a protest
to the government.
German trade has not recovered
from the staggering blow of a special
war tax of $250,000,000 which was
levied last year, no one knows why.
France and other countries are de-
pressed by financial difficulties grow
ing out OF the political troubles Incl
dent to the Balkan war.
Brazil Is going through a period of
liquidation and acute business depres-
sion, paying the penalty for wild ex-
pertinent in legislation. The govern
ment tried to regulate the price OF
coffee, so as to make the crop more
profitable to the planters. Tm
scheme of "valorization" or govern
ment regulation of the price has
proved a failure and a large stock OF
coffee must be disposed of.
The root Of the trouble in Mexico
is that the country has broken down
under the burdens of the "Cientifico'
system of legislation, the futile at
tempt of former President Diaz to
make the country prosperous by
schemes promoted by the government.
Australia and New Zealand have their
own peculiar troubles, and even Cana
da has growing pains" as a result of
too much government booming of the
northwest.
In our own country we have had a
tremendous output of legislation in
the past year. A tariff system which
has stood for fifty years has been
overturned, the currency system has
been revolutionized, and congress Is
working on a large grist of new laws
to regulate business.
We are paying the penalty with
more acute depression than appears
in any other country. The railroads
are in distress through loss of reve-

country are running on short time,
leaving millions of people out of en-
ployment.
President Cleveland forced through
congress two revolutionary measures
in a little more than a year, a money
law and the Wilson-Gorman tariff.
The business of the country was par
alyzed by tine shock and did not re-
cover until after Cleveland had re-
tired from office.
President Wilson has forced through
congress far more radical revision
of the tariff than was attempted
twenty years ago, and money law

the army canteen, or military post

never be restored; on the contrary,
the sentiment even among military
men is growing the other way.
Now that war is largely in the trop-

to climates where alcohol Is dead

Wooden Bridges Washed Out.

June floods in many parts of Iowa,
especially in lowa's northern coun.
ties, are making great progress wip.
ing out the old wooden bridges. In
Saturday nights rain, Chickasaw lost
five good-sized bridges. Other coun.
ties report even greater losses. 1t is
not the wooden bridge alone that is
going, for quite a number of improp-
erly constructed concrete bridges have
gone down. Franklin county will

(5) She must look to it that her

must seek to unite people in the ac-

Whilst in no case should tae church
neglect cases of individual need, her
chief effort must be concentrated
upon the removal of the causes from
which suffering and want proceed.
The greatest social service ever
rendered to society was when Christ
took upon Himself the seed of Abra-
ham. And the church can now rem.
der no greater service to men than
! by bringing them into touch with
| Him who is still able to save. But
before she can do this she herself
must be in touch with those who need
saving And there is no better way of
obtaining this touch than by render
ing physical aid to men in their hour
OF need.
Tuesdays Sessions.
Services during the day of Tuesday
were also full of great interest. The
general theme of the day was THE
Church and the Community" and
ed by Rev X. r. Newly, of Des
Moines, on THE Church and the Ru-
raj Community" This was followed
by round table discussion, led by
Rev Alvin Hoskins, of Richland.
| An important feature of the day
was the address of Rev. George e.
Guile, of the Moody Bible Institute.
Chicago, on The Exaitation OF
Christ" These Bible talks by DR..
Guile are full Of profit and are Veri'
table heart feasts to all who hear
them.
In the afternoon The Church and
the City Community" was presented
by Rev. George Deshler, Of Pleasant
Plain and was followed by a round
table discussion, led by Rev. Meade
A. Kelsey, of Oskaloosa. In this dis
cussion the fact was brought out. that
only about one-half of the population
of Oskaloosa were among the church
attendants, the balance being practl-
cally without church influences.

LIFE INSURANCE,

Life insurance organizations of the
United States and Canada distributed
$646, $4,000 in 1913, according to
computations by the Insurance Press.
The record of the payments for death
claims and matured endowments last
year by the companies that had 80
per cent of the business showed in
crease to the amount OF $3.50, 900,
compared with $l4,S90.000 for 1912.
Interest earnings, mortality exper-
fence and economy OF management
are the determining factors in the
preparation of accounts of the dis
tributions of premium savings, erron-
eously termed dividends" Such dis
tributions amounted to more than
SOL 200, 900 in 1913 for all of the COM
panies of the United States. COmpar-
ed with 1912, the record showed an
increase to the amount of more than
100000.
The largest claim paid last year
was $3lS,3SS on the policies that had
been held by Albert F. Holden, who

In the opinion of the Clinton

be sailed by the next legislature is
the fool statute which throws the
nomination Of supreme court judges
into a non-partisan primary. Not one
percent of the voters of Iowa know
anything about the qualifications Of
the seven men running for office this
year, and there is no way to estab-
fish their fitness. The newspapers,
supposed to know something about
candidates, throw up their hands
