A REASON FOR CONFIDENCE.

Someone remarked the other day
that all the conditions were here for
a revival of business and return OF
industrial activity, except that con-
fdence was lacking. People are
afraid that something will happen to
mar the present bright. outlook, and
so they are holding back.
Apparently, there is nothing snort
Of war to disturb American prospects,
and it is needless to say that nobody
in America wants war. Our exports
are climbing SO fast that the result
must inevitably compel a return to
Industrial activity. In December ex-
ports exceede imports by $780,
100000, the largest balance ever
known. The January figures will be
even larger. atrial returns from
the first week in February indicate
a trade balance in our favor OF
S44,5OO, 900, which is at the rate OF
$18O,OOO,000 per month and over
$2,OO0,OOO,O0O per year. President
Farrell of the United States Steel
Corporation declares that the practi-
cal assurance of trade balance of
81, 00,0O0,O00 ought to mean an I'M
precedented industrial boom.
''This is not only what it ought
to mean," says the New York World.
ct is what it mast mean as an ire
sistable effect of trade forces. The
calamity howlers will howl in vain
and vain in the end will be the eff
forts of the standpoint obstruction
lists to stop it. The country is al
ready in full command OF all the
foreign exchanges, its outside debt is
being paid off at an unprecedented
rate, and even gold exported at the
outset of the war is beginning to
come back"
Steel, as everyone knows, is one
of the best barometers of business.
If the head Of the steel industry in
this country can afford to be opti-
mistic over a promise that is certain
| to be more than fulfilled, there is
every reason for confidence on the
part of business interests generally.
The pessimist is confronted by hard
facts which spell an era of prosperi-
ty for this country that even the po-
litical snifhers cannot head off.-Edi-
torial in Shreveport Times.

NOW is THE TINE TO SWAT THE
FLY.

Uncle Sam is waging a relentless
war on the deadly house-ay and in a
late bulletin prepared by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, valuable infor-
nation is given en- the best means of
combating this deadly pest. The
most effective way of discriminating
the fly, according to the bulletin, is
to eradicate his breeding places.
The breeding season of the fly be-
gins early in March and continue;
throughout the spring and summer
months. All dirt should be remoy-
ed from the premises, stables cleaned
and decaying vegetables destroyed
The fly has been rightly called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
in addition to his regular line Of Ety.
phoid bugs" he carries side line
of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and
other disease germs. Now is the
time to "swat the fly"

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.

The split log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainte-
nance of public highways than any
implement Of modern usage. It does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature. bond issues nor expensive
campaigns to make it available as
usually precedes construction work
A drag can be built or purchased for
twenty dollars and is easily operated
by any one who can drive a team.
We need more drags in this State.
