BUSINESS is Good
Federal Reserve Agents See
Improvement for November.
Increasing Demand for High
Grade Goods Reported.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Reporrs of
business conditions throughout the
country from federal reserve agents
are, in the main, favorable and show
improvement for November, accord
ing to information from these sources
published today by the reserve board.
Boston, one of the least optimistic Of
the twelve reserve district cities, says
business has improved but slightly if
at ALL" but that the economies of the
past months are not now being so rig
idly observed and that the public gen
orally is spending money more freely
than in the past, due, presume bly,,
among other things, to the fact that
labor is more generally employed"
Activity and Improvement in trade
and industry continued during the
month, New York reports. Railroads
and department stores have found
business much better, with an increas-
ing demand for higher grade goods.
Steel orders are reported as very
heavy, Notwithstanding steady. ad-
vancing prices.
Although farmers in the Kansas
City district are reported as showing
decided inclination to hold wheat
for higher prices, a considera BILE i'm
provement is looked for in CONNER
cial, Industrial and business condi-
tons and the district is said to be
facing the next few months with Op-
tinistic complacency.

BATTLEFOR BOOZE
IdahO'S New Law Makes Owner
of Drink Criminal.
District and Highest State
Tribunal Uphold Statute.

Moscow, Idaho, Dec. 2.-Idaho's
new statute ma king it a crime for any
person to have liquor in his possession
is to be tested for constitutionality in
the United States supreme court. The
high courts decision may have i'm
portant bearing on the nationwide
bottle of the vets and drys. The dis
trict and supreme courts of Idaho
have declared the law constitutional.
Should the United States court de-
clare constitutional this law prohibit
ing the possession of liquor by individ-
uals in prohibition territory. the drys
are expected to make capital of it in
all wet territory, ard to seek a ma
tional law like the one in Idaho.
Should the law finally be declared I'M
constitutional, the vets are expected
to do the talking.
The only Intoxicating liquor any one
may own in Idaho is a limited amount
of alcohol, held under strict regula-
lions by druggists for medicinal pur-
poses; and sacramenta1 wine possessed
by clergymen.

FARM IS IDENTIFIED

Cheese-Making and Selling Dis
cussed at Chicago Meet.
HELP FOR TENANT TILLERS
Increase in Number of "Rent-
ers" Makes Aid Necessary.
G.. w. Lawrence of Kansas
Speaker on Closing Day.

Chicago, Dec Cheese was the
chief topic discussed at the national
conference of marketing and farm
credits today.
J. B. McCodeady, manager of the
Sheboygan County Cheese federation,
Plymouth, Wis, was the speaker. His
association markets 100000 pounds
of cheese annually by cooperative
methods, he said. Cheese makers rec
ognize the association, he claimed, as
getting them all they are entitled to
for their product. Dealers recognize
it as a legitimate competitor, he said
Farmers, he explained, understand
the aSSo ciation stands between the To-
cal dairy board and the buyer, to pre-
vent the boards arbitrarily fixing
prices. He also told how the associa-
ton urges better quality and stand
ardization.
He said that in Wisconsin the asso-
citation found 65 per cent of poor
cheese made is poor through neglect
of the farmer or some detail.
Money loaned and yet to be loaned
belligerent countries by capitalists of
this country would permit loan of
$500 to every tenant farmer in the
country according to Governor Fer
guson of Texas. who spoke last night.
The increase of 100000 tenant farm
ers in thirtS' years, he said, made some
such move necessary.
F. H. Newell of the University of
Illinois told the needs of the farmer
operating irrigated farms in the west.
Potatoes furnish 25 per cent of a
mans daily necessary rations. In Ger
many they are so per cent of the ma
tons diet Their use on the family
table should be encouraged, Prof. H
E. Horton of the welfare department
of the American Steel and Wire COM
pany told the conference.
Rural credits eSta bhshed after the
manner of building and loan associa-
lions were suggested by Robert D.
Kent, president of the Merchants
bank, Passaic,~ N. J.
George Chapman of Winnipeg,
Man.; G. w. Lawrence, secretary of

ton of Kansas, and DIR. Charles L.

Fears that more Canadian wheat would
be seized tended to hoist prices The mar
ket was also bullishly affected by advices
of a good demand for domestic wheat at
Duluth and the seabOard. The close was
strong at 3 cents to 31sc net higher. with
December at S1.09% and May at S1.121s-
CORN-Absence of offerings from the
