Increasing Activity

Rogers, Brown & Co, in their Cincin- natl report, are decidedly buoyant this week-more so than they have been for sometime. They say in part:
 Spring opens up with general business conditions greatly improved. There has been increase in the volume of trade and in some districts the tonnage of pig iron bought was of distinctly satisfactory na- ture.
 Buying in the east and New England territories has been large. A reflection of this has appeared in the west. Locally, the week has produced orders for all grades of pig iron with Silvery leading. There is fair inquiry still pending.
 Starting up of plants and operation on better. time continues with a steadily decreasing number of unemployed in the Pittsburg and Chicago territories. A sur prising change of complexion in the sit uation in the south is noted in all lines. Steel companies everywhere are increas- ing their activity and reports of new con struction ip connection with manufact- uring plants bodes well for the struc- tural end of the steel business. The out look in almost every line at this period, with three months of the year behind us, is more encoura ging than at any time to date"

The Matter of swapping

Much attention has been recently att tracted to the 'Swappers' Column in The Age-Herald," remarked a real estate man, ''and I have heard much favorable comment on the subject.
 Tt is really great thing for the com- munity as whole. for it affords an ex- cellent means for placing things that have fallen out of use back into service, and land and real estate is in this manner transferred by the man who Is not in po- sition to handle 1t to tho person who can use it to advantage.
 Indeed, the 'Swappers' Column can but prove a great boon to the man who uses 1t intelligently. For example, as everyone knows, the real estate market

Eurone,s Wnr Supplies


 now drawing on the world for Vast quantities of food and provisions" said a packing house representative. Both North and South America are being drawn on heavily to supply the hostile armies. Southern cotton is still very much in demand in Europe. Ship ments of Argentine beef have been diverted. from this country to England and France, and Chinese GEES are also going to Europe, instead of to South America; and for the first time in many years the United States Is being called on to ship eggs to South American countries. Australia is also being called on by Europe for heavy supplies. "As every one knows, the United States is now shipping great quanti- ties of meat and grain to Europe. l. titles of Chinese eggs were shipped to this country some months ago and that the matter of America receiving ship ments from the Asiatic country was dis cussed freely by the press as a possible solution to a perplexing problem in the United States, but the attention of the public was soon diverted from this topic; and this Is the first l have heard of Chinese eggs in a long time.
 Cotton is in increasing demand in England, and the Liverpool brokers continue to make heavy contracts at good prices. This is said to be due in part to the need for the sonths staple for prosecuting the war, great quanti- ties being used for uniforms and in manufacturing gun cotton"

has been somewhat inactive in this city for some months; but those who are on the inside know that swapping goes on continuously. I knew a man who owned two heavily mortgaged lots. and who had paid in the course of several years inter- est enough for the privilege of holding this vacant property to have erected a small bungalow. But as he could not find a ready market for his property he was content to hold on rather than have
 it foreclosed It finally occurred to him that he might swap his equity in the prop erty for unincumbered property. He found this surprisingly easy. once having got in touch with the right party. A man was found who was in position to pay off the mortgages and erect buildings as a paying investment. MT. Speculator is now relieved of his heavy interest bur- den and can hold his unincumbered prop erty as long as he sees fit>vithout much expense. There are a great number of people in this section of the state who could relieve themselves of an embarrass- ing position by judlcious swapping"

War Affecting Dyestuff. Price


 "The press dispatches, commenting cotton goods, emphasize the scarcity fand high price of dyestuffs by reason of the war" said Percy Clark. "It Is common Knowledge that We are dependent upon Germany for most of our dystuffs, but 1t is not known to most persons just why we are distinctly so. In no one feature of fabrication is the key to German economic power shown as in the evolution of the coal tar in dustry, through synthetic-contruc- tive-chemistry. The very light of TO- nance creeps in when the Aladdin's $ lamp of applied science reveals, hidden within the blackness of coal tar, verify all the colors of the rainbow; and even othersl And all this, we learn, this sweeping away of the commonplace arts which since the dawn of civilization had, up to half century ago, tinted its raiment and tapestries with the coloring matter of vegetables-log- wood, fustic. sumac, maddor, indigo and others; the animal products. such as cochineal and others; or that of crude minerals, came from the discovery of an English boy of IS, who came to be known afterwards as Sir Henry Perkin.

ILLTOAMENDLIABILITY
STATUTE SIDETRACKED
House Votes to Indefinitely Postpone
Action On Initiated Measure Providing
Change in EOTkmen's Compensation.

Western Newspaper Caion News Service.
Columbus. The easiest way was
taken Wednesday by the house Of
representatives to get rid OF the bill
initiated by petition giving employers
under the workmen's compensation act
the right to insure against industrial
accidents with others than with the
state.
This measure was the first bill pre-.
sented at the legislative session and
was referred to the labor committee,
which reported it out in the afternoon
with the recommendation that it be
thrown into the discard by indefinite
postponement.
Chairman Whitacre Of Columbiana
county, for the committee, said rep
resentatives of the employers asso-
citation and labor organizations both
opposed the bill and that its only sup
porters appeared to be insurance
companies.
Both the Republican and Democratic
floor leaders questioned the wisdom of
a bill initiated by the people being
thrown upon the ash heap, instead Of
being formally passed or rejected. Re-
publican Leader Whittemore moved
that the bill be made a special order
for Feb 10 so that the members might
have time to study it. This was lost,
and by vote of "A to 25 the bill was
indefinitely postponed, those voting in
the negative saying they do so because
they thought the measure should come
to vote on its merits.
An attempt to override the verdict
of the people, given in 1912, when a
proposed constitutional amendment
abolishing capital punishment WAS
voted down by the electorate, came to
naught in the house of representatives
Thursday.
REPRESENTATIVE Jones of Columbus,
who has been the most prolific mem
ber of the assembly in fathering bills,
made hard but losing fight against
the committees adverse report on his
measure for the destruction Of the
death chair in the penitentiary.
The judiciary committee, to which
the bill was recommitted Wednesday
on complaint of Jones that it had not
been given due consideration, re-
ported it back with a recommendation
that it be Indefinitely postponed. The
report was signed by all the members
of the committee except Judge Clark,
the chairman, and Morey of Williams
county, farmer and clergyman.
Jones protested long and loud
against the killing of a bill aimed, he
said, to prevent murder by the state.
Jones got his speech in favor of his
bill out of his system in an hours talk
and the house, on a viva voce vote,
then threw it upon the ash heap by ac.
cepting the committees report.

WILSON WARNS U. S.
PRESIDENT SAYS THERE IS A
FOOD SHORTAGE.
Urges More Grain Be Planted and
Yield Per Acre Also Be
Increased.

Washington, Feb. 5.-"There is a
shortage of food in the world now.
That shortage will be more serious
few months from now than it is now.
1T is necessary that we should plant
a great deal more. 1t is necessary
that our land should yield more per

1T is necessary that there should
not be a plow or a spade idle in this
country if the world is to be fed

dressed the people of the nation on
Wednesday night through several hun
dred representative business men at
tending the annual convention Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
The president declared that we
must all pool our interests" in order to
discover the best means of handling
public problems.
The creation in the United States in
time of peace of the same kind Of
united spirit which moves nations dur
ing was was advocated by the presi-
dent, who remarked that when peace
is as handsome as war there will be
no wars" and when men engage in
the pursuits of peace in the same
spirit of self-sacrifice as they engage
In war, wars will disappear"
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States the president asked that
business men devise some way of al.
lowing exporters in the United States
to combine to secure common selling
agencies to to give longtime credits
in such a way that these cooperative
devices may be open to the use of all.
