THE BUSINESS FIELD.

Times-Republican: Uplifting fact
ors continued to assert themselves in
trade and industrial circles last
week but at the same time there is
degree of unevenness in particular
sections and certain industries that
deprives the situation of uniform
Iity.
However, optimism as to the fut-
ure seems undated; our interna.
tional political relations, apparently
grave early in the week appear to
have improved; house trade at var
ious centers has been increased by
the presence of visiting buyers;
some sections report larger road Or
ders; mail order trade goes on in
creasing; the southern situation is
brighter; money everywhere is plen-
tiful at low rates; collections are
somewhat easier; bank clearings ex-
eel those Of 1913 and 1912, while, OF
course, dwarfing those of 1914;
railway passenger traffic is heavy;
the stock market, weak early in the
week, rallied later on; foreign or
ders for manufactured war supplies
continue of large proportions; high
er prices prevail for iron and steel !;
premiums rule on some finished ar
ticles for early delivery; mills are
falling behind on shipments; copper
has emerged from it's recent spell of
dullness; lumber, long depressed is
in better shape; skilled help is
scarcer; sales forces, reduced direct
ly after the outbreak of the war,
are again being increased, and the
influence of larger payrolls is seen
in the paying up of old debts, rents
and the like.
On the other hand, buyers have
not entirely divorced themselves
from conservatism the labor situa-
ton tends to reflect in sporadic
strikes the influence of competitive
bidding for help; retail trade,
though good in some sections, is not
altogether favorable, wet, cool
weather in the west having checked
distribution; interior trade in the
northwest is marking time because
just now farmers are too busy to
buy; rates for foreign money con-
tinue to decline; scarcity of dyestuffs
curtails operations in some textile
lines; railway freight traffic is
lighter than last years; the wheat
crop movement from the southwest
has been held back by wet weather
at threshing; the anomaly Of spring
wheat coming on the market before
the bulk of the winter crop gets un-
der way may be witnessed, and this
seasons exports Of American wheat
show a decrease of As per cent from
the two months of last year.
Spring wheat harvesting was
practically finished last week and the
frosts in the Dakotas did little dam
age, while in Canada lowering
of grade is the only appreciate re-
suit. The spring wheat crop is a
record one, both in the northwest
and in Canada and with good wealth
er in the north spring wheat and
winter wheat will move together, a i

DEPENDS UPON THE MAN.

Times-Republican: Webster City
spent $249,304 in the fiscal year
ending March 81. If a general man.
ager were elected to handle this
huge budget for city business, money
could be saved, provided he were the
right man for the job-it's mostly
in the man.

If Germany succeeds in defeating
Russia she will make short work of
the other allies, but Russia is a long
way from being licked. Her re-
sources are great and if Japan can
supply her with ammunition before
it is too late Russia will yet show
that there is a lot of fight in her
armies.
Why is it that every business and
professional man who can do so al
ways boasts of the days when he
worked on a farm ?-Boone News

Give it up, unless it is because the
record shows that large majority
of the country's greatest men came
from the farms, where they worked
when boys.
A farm of nearly 400 acres near
Primghar sold few days ago at
$3.50 per acre. 1t was bought sew
en- years ago at $65 per acre, an in
crease of better than $12 per year
per acre. That is making money
pretty fast. Besides the man who
bought the farm seven years ago has
had the use Of it all of this time.
Senator Root has finally been con-
WINGED there is an invisible govern

such men as the great New York
senator secuted the idea of there be-
ing such a thing.
When the Davenport public schools

The following is what the venango
Daily Hearld, Of Franklin, Pa, said
OF q recent return engagement In its
city OF the musical comedy, Septem-
Der Morn, = which is to appear Friday
afternoon and hight at the Robinson
Grand theater here:
"Better than before. was the YER
dict Of the full house that saw the
return engagement OF September
Morn" at the Franklin opera house
Friday evening. The t,ineful piece
was filled from beginning to end with
beauty OF voice, melody, motion and
form and all the way spread laughter
with It's funny songs and dialogues.
It had a plot, too, one out Of which
grew any number OF interesting sit
nations, Interesting for the characters
that were involved in them and for
audience which Witnessed them.
The famous painting from which the
name Of the show was taken was
somewhat IN evidences both because q
couple Of imposters figuring In the
plot tried to palm themselves of as
the parties responsible for the paint
ing and because near the end Of the!
show the picture was posed by Miss
Marion Evans. All the principal
parts in the piece were carried on
very ably and the cast was supported
by an uncommonly handsome chorus.
Altogether the experiment OF bringing
September Morn" here for d second
time on the strength OF its great sue
cess some weeks ago turned out very
satisfactorily for everybody.
