AN ANNUAL PAY DAY
IGrnnCiy Democrat


We have all kinds of special days
day. There ought to be room for one
more good practical special day and
that day should be Pay day.
Supposing certain day were fixed
every year when everyone who lives
In Grundy county would pay what he
owed. That would be one Of the big
gest and one OF the happiest days our
people ever saw. We have very few
dead beats in this county. Ninety five
per cent OF our people who owe any
thing expect to pay it over half Of
that per cent could pay what they owed
any time; the other half could pay il
those who owed them paid what they
had coming
The proposition SINNERS just down
to this. II pay day were adopted that
would be observed by those who want
to pay So per cent OF a.! the book &C.
counts held by people living in this
county could be cleaned up in one day.
this end it would bring more relief and
more happiness than any special day
we ever had.
Think this pay day proposition over.
There is a good deal to it. II every
business man and others who owe and
are owed would get back of it and such
day were advertised and observed 1t
could be made q winner. At this time
Of the year when every old account
should be wiped out so that the credit
slate could be started clean with the
new year is a good time to push the
pay day idea along.

Davenport Democrat
Thanks to the Davenport Lend-a-
Hand Club, which suggested and bore
most of the burden Of the prepara-
tons for the municipal Christmas tree,
every one in the city had the chance
To eaa..c!: The coHsas!oE OF the Christ

Certainly there were few in the
thousands who thronged Washington
square who did not go to their homes
gladdened by the sight Of the beauti-
full tree and by the evident pleasure
which 1t gave to the others who were
there. No one had seen before sixty
five-foot, star-crowned tree aglow with
thousands OF colored lights. The music
and carols and the address OF the
mayor were all appropriate &c the oc-
casion. But the significant thing was
the unifying effect OF such an event
upon the people OF the city. We can
ali agree that we do well when We
bring the gladness OF Chrietmastide

BEING READY FOR WAR.

BEING READY FOR WAN
rDes Moines Register and Leaderl
''The announcement that General
Joffre has removed twepty-four gem
erals was accepted as for the good OF
the service and confidence In tho Of
fensive movement Of the allies
now underway is steadily In
creasing."-Paris cable, New York Sun
1t has been the history Of every
war that until the men who had been
in training On times Of peace were re-
moved, the real fighting did not b.
gin.
1t has been equally true that until
the equipment provided in times OF
peace was discarded nothing was done.
Before this war comes to any sort
OF climax French and German and
Englishman and Russian are likely to
be under new commanders, In new
formations and using new arms.
Being ready for war In times OF
peace is largely a scheme to divert the
public revenues. Even Germany is
finding it necessary to devise new
methods and get new ieaders.

GERMANY CANNOT
 BE STARVED OUT
KaiSer'S Treasurer Says British
 Plan Has Failed

Berlin, Aug. 3.-Dr. Karl Helfferich, prepared for The Associated Press a signed statement on German economic and financial affairs as he views them at the end of the first year of war. His statement follows:
 "The economic and financial fea- lures of the first year of the war are, in my opinion, the following:
 'First-The British starvation war has failed. Once and for all it has been proved that our domestic produc- tion of foodstuffs, bread card system, and maximum prices assure even to the poorest the necessary supply Of food and that at prices lower than pre- vailing in Great Britain.
 Cannot Be Starved Out.
 ''Second-Nor can we be starved out in raw materials. The difficult ties cast in the way of the importation of raw materials, in violation of in ternational law, are unpleasant for us, but are not fatal. We have in our own country an ample supply of the most important raw materials-coal and iron-and of others we have on hand unmanufactured or nanufac- tured, great supplies which, with the economical employment thereof in- sured by our methods methods of orr ganization, are virtually inexhaustible.
 s'Third-The spectre of .unemploy- ment has been banished. There is more work than workers. The war has proved itself to be greater em- p1oyer of, labor than our export trade was.
 Sufficient Finances.
 '.Fourth-So far as finances are con- cerned, Germany will carry the war through for an unlimited time We produce in our own country practlc- ally everything needed for war. Thus expenditures for war purposes re- solve themselves into savings. These again are at the empires disposition, as payments on the war loans and de- posits are flowing into the banks and savings institutions more plentifully than in times of peace The total of deposits today, after over $3,000, 000, ,ooO have been paid on war loans, is higher than at the outbreak of the war. The gold reserve of the Reichs- bank has almost doubled since the war began Notes and deposits in the covered by gold are 331s per cent, as compared with 26.7 per cent in the Bank of France and 21.7 i in the Bank of England.
 .'Fifth--The confidence of the Ger | man people in our financial strength is 1 as unhounded as their confidence in our military superiority. After twelve months of war imperial 3's are quot i ed at 70, which is eight points below the quotation in March, 1914; the ! minimum price of British consols, 65, is eleven per cent. below the quota ton in March, 1914; three per cent. French rentes. at 69, are nineteen per cent. below March, 1914.
 Work, skill, discipline, organiZa- ton, economy, and last, but not least, the categorical imperative of patri- otism have upheld Germany in the first year against world enemies, and will help us further to win the war

 Chile and the United States lead the industry with approximately equal output of borates, or boric acid and borax, each producing in round numbers about 10000 to 50, 900 me- trfc tons of crude ores, mainly cal cium borates. Turkey probably stands third in rank of production, with a re- ported average production of IA 900 tons reported as boracite; and Peru, Bolivia, Italy, Argentina, and India India are also producers.
 The price of borax crystals is quot ed as 3 S-4 to 4 cents pound, though it rose to 1-4 to 4 3-4 at the very close of the year. The price of boric acid crystals, which is normally z to 1-2 cents n pound, advanced to 3-4 to 8s1-2 cents at the close of the year. The tying up of some for eign sources of supply, as, for in- stance, the mines on the Sea of Mar mora, and the interruption of for eign business has created somewhat larger demand for the American pro- ducts, and slight rise in price may be expected
