merce Digest.

St. Louis, Aug. 4.-The August
issue of the Digest of Trade Condi-
tons, issued by the National Bank

ly healthier undertone in business,
although real improvement is hardly
more than noticeable.
Something has been created dur
ing the last ninety days in the way
of foundation for future commercial
and financial operations is the state
ment of the Digest. "The past nine
ty days have been rather strenuous
period, as every man in business
has been tested almost to the limit
of his ability in devising ways and
means of improving his own particu-
lar business.
"The margin between cost and
selling price has been narrowed, but
with improving demand for all classes
of commodities, from steel to sugar,
the volume of trade may prove
enough larger to partially Offset, at
least, the narrower margins Of profit
There is plenty of money in the
country and there are indications that
money will be loaned more freely
on mortgages and securities of that
class, which will mean that the money
will finally find its way tinto COM

One thing has been made certain
by advancing military news from
Paris, the fall hat will be small. Per-
haps larger hats will appear by mid
season-they are wearing some now
in Paris-but there is no indication of
it in the early models; small, smart
and rather pertly balanced on the
head is the hat the fashionably dress
ed woman will effect with her tail
leur.
The smallness of the new shapes,
however, is in the brim only. Crowns
are large-or appear to be large-in
comparison with the tiny brim which
often just forms a rim around the
edge of the hat. And the plain, I'M
broken crown is completely out of
fashion. All of the new hats of au-
thoritative designs have crowns laid
in pleats, shirred in gathers or drap-
ped in some artful manner or other so
that one side of the hat is tale than
the other. The day of the blocked
felt hat is passed for the woman who
dresses modishly. Undoubtedly the
millinery departments will have block
ed felt hats by the dozens for popular
settings, but they will not be the hats
selected by exclusive folks, and
though many of the French models
include fine soft felt in their make
up, the felt is invariably combined
with velvet or silk in some sort of
draped effect. OF course, these drap-
ed hats are all built over frames usual
ly or buckram wired into shape, and
in the last yea ror two the business
of making and selling hat frames has
become an important feature of every
retail millinery department One

The Syrup Industry In Our
Parish.

The latest addition to st. John s
list of local industries is the mini
ature up to date syrup mill putin
operation by our good Sheriff
Hon. Paul Berthelot last Monday
morning, as a trial which will
undoubtedly lead to further de-
velopments in that line.
While starting on small scale
the result so far obtained is very
gratifying and the quality of the
product leaves nothing to be de-
sired.
The two powerful horses used
last season have been replaced by
a powerful and most up-to-date
gasoline engine. Further details
regarding Mr.. Berthelot's new
up-to- date Mill will more fully
appear in our next issue.
In the meantime we wish sue.
cess to the new undertaking OF
our ever enterprising and pro-
gressive Sheriff.
