General Outlook Good.

These facts have been developed at
conferences OF the Federal agents
from the twelve Federal Reserve
Banks Of the country. They have
come here for discussions Of the gen
eral business outlook throughout the
country, and have brought more ac-

could have been obtained by the

tiVitieS Of manufactures all are said
to reflect the improved conditions.
The corn belt has suffered some
what from adverse weather condi-
tiOns, which have forced farmers in
that section to make heavy purchases
of stock to dispose of their soft"
corn. This has increased the de-
mand for loans in the Mid-Western
country, and the sO-called rural banks
have been reported much less flush
with cash than the city banking in
StitutiOnS.
Industries All Busy.
Conditions in the business world
to-day are entirely different from
what they were year ago, according
to the reports made by the reserve
agents. Then the food-producing
States were rushing their products to
market, and there was a slack sea-
son in the industrial centers. The
railroads to the grain country were
being beSeGed for facilities to trans
port the crop. and there was little
demand for rolling stock from the in
dustrieS.
Now it seems to be just the re-
verse. The big industrial plants,
crowded with war orders. are crying
for transportation from the railroads,
while the agricultural sections re-
| main silent. This latter condition is
! said to be due to the fact that the far
| mers are holding their crops in the
| hope OF obtaining higher prices later.

DEFENSIVE PREPAREDNESS.

The announced program Of President Wilson for ma
tonal defensive preparedness is meeting with overwhem
ing approval of the people, from all sections OF the coun
try North, South, East and West
The wealth of this country in round numbers is about
two hundred billion dollars $780, 0OO OOO these hg-
ures are so vast and the wealth they represent so stu
pendous that the human mind cannot comprehend it. The
wealth of the United States is about equal to the combn
ed wealth of Great Britain, France and Germany.
When Germany declared war against Russia on Aug.
l. 1914 she did not hurl her mighty forces against Rus
sia but her dash was against France for the capture OF
Paris Why was this the case When her real anger was
with Russia why did she not hur her mighty forces against
Russia who had offended her by moboizng as she Ger
many claims? The reason is very simple. Paris London
and New York the three weathest cities in the world
and the German march to capture Paris was to demand
indemnity of six billion dollars She did not get to Paris
and so she has not collected the six billion dollars yet
The above reference to the war is merely to illustrate
the nrme motive in this war on the part of GERMANY
which was to lick France and grab her wealth. Just like
HIGHWAY robber who holds up rich on the road and
reeves him of his valuabes Germany entered into that
war with the same motives as the burglar who sneaks in
~ house intending to rob the same. Their motives are
identical
This great country with its unlimited wealth is no
longer safe without an army of adequate size and navy
to defend it so long as such INSCRIPTIONS and gaspng
countries as Germany and Japan strong and powerful

USEFULNESS OF THE PLAN.

While Germany is governed by Prussian militarism,
which government is not better than the government of
skfu and scientific savages and deserves the respect of
mankind to greater extent hap such savags brates
- Yet we can learn great deal from Germa-
nv and it has been suggested that when organize an
army of three hundred thousand five hundred thousand
men those men should be schooed by the government and
taught vocational training such as carpenters, plumbers,
brckayers farmers taors and so FORTH so that when
their term of enlistment expires receiving their dis
charge at the end of three years they will be able to fill
positions at profitable wages that instead of their time
being wasted while serving in the army they will be pre-
pared by their schooling for more useful lives and profit
able work. In other words the American idea OF prepar
edness is to have great army at school and one that
ready to meet an enemy who invades our shores

The Hay-Rack Ride.

The hay-ride, like many other
fond pastimes, is caught in the
wheel of mechanical revolution,
and must eventually pass from
custom. Toledo Blade.
Time was when yellow harvest
moons
Their glamor used to hold;
When sweeping mist and frosty
air
The timid heart made bold
And, All! to feel the slender form
A-nestling at ones side
And, All! to feel the magic of
The old-time hay-rack ride!
Time was when beat Of horses
feet
Upon the hard highroad
Was music to the youthful hearts
That formed the hay-rack's
load;
Today the chugging motor car
Disturbs the countryside
Quite out-of-d date, forgotten, is
The old time hay-rack ride.
Time was when cen a slender
gift
Of comedy would please;
When crowded in amid the hay,
Sweethearts might hug ano
squeeze.
And merry was the laughter then
Convention was defed-
And, Ali, what loves were kindl
ed on
The old-time hay-rack ride!

for man and the bifurcated garments the old

with u.s. 1t is actually conceived to take the
place Of pettcoats, and they do not resemble
the old Turkish effect at ALL
OF course this fashion is going to have Its
eXaggera tons and absurdities. In its best form
it is sort of princess slip in which the upper
section is utilized Tor blouse. After the dress
skirt is slipped on very little Of the pantalette

shoe tops and glimpses of it simply give the
impression Of petticoat.
Contrasting colors sought in these panta-
lette effects, and some OF them are sumptuous

ette is made entirely OF satin, lavishly trimmed
with gold lace, and still another made up Of
row after row of the most exquisite lace mag
Unable. There is no denying that the pantalette
is going to be very useful for the dance.
Another of the new oddities Is the reappear-
ance of the wide sleeves, and have seen one
Of the French models where the sleeves meas
ured fully three-fourhs OF yard across. The
slimness OF the upper part Of the figure Is kept
because the shoulders extended to form
sort of fitted cap for the wide arm covering.

OF the models will be immense. So will the
cuffs be, and next week will show you q very
odd and, think. charming new dress in which
these wide cuffs have been utilized in new
and useful way.
And, by the way. the fur cuff is likely to be
popular shoe top adjunct. These shoe top
cuffs are detachable, and the fur may match
that OF the scarf or Of the muff While the belt
is going out o. favor. still grdles and sashes
are not lacking in the new models. So far as
the placement or the waist line is concerned
the choice is wide Ii one decides on the elon-
gated effects then she may keep to the type OF
corset that she has worn for the last two or
three years IT, however. she elects the snug
fitting line. ii will be necessary to adopt one OF
the new corset models with the npped-in waist
designed for the foundation OF just such girde
effects
And, to go back to furs again and to their
manifold uses, one OF the Inost interesting is
the set composed Of hat and scarf Hats can be
small! or big; and the fur them is frequently
used for the entire crown. but by far the smart.

son grows on these hat "chokers' will prob.
ably be made all OF fur.

1t is the "Peek-a-Boo' hat, and it can be
gotten up in any number of combinations OF

with satins or velvets OF course, as one must
look through the visor, this must be OF pha-

wear, or, in more elaborate shapes, for the
evening.
The one illustrated in the centre of this page
is all afternoon hat OF black tulle and bronze

for cold Winters day? For between this
