happiness must be intellectual rather than physi-
CAL though we can still dine when our neighbors
merely eat and enjoy an old Burgundy on our
birthday.
But the reader will exclaim, what does all this
lead up to except invitation to read Prof
Eliot's hundred best books or present ourselves
at the next series of symphony concerts? But
that is just where the scientific pursuit of happi-
ness will not lead Our genius of the lamp sees
no more virtue in FIVE feet of miscellaneous
classics than in the magazine section of the Sun
day paper. These volumes contain both beauty
and truth, but happiness consists in discovering
those things for ourselves, not in allowing Prof
Eliot to discover them for us. Books are only a
means to an end. To appreciate the Bible one
must become an Assyriologist. But any man with
real capacity for happiness can enjoy Treas

The happy man is one to whom experience is
a butterfly to be pursued and caught and released

chase. His eyes and cars and mind are always
open and his motto, like Rikki Tikkfs is run

case, cannot show by rule of thumb that he is hap

and sleeps and goes to business and takes his wife
to the movies on Saturday night. A great French
man once referred to litter of sucking pigs as
happy little stomachs." We can be like that too.

The metal mining industry of the
West. which was badly crippled year
ago. is now in full swing. There Is
enormous activity in the production OF
copper. lead and zinc: II IL now up to
capacity of the mines and smsIters,
and in the case of zinc the smelter
capacity is being materially increased.
So far as agriculture. stock raising
and mining go the West is exceeding
ly prosperous.
The iron and steel industry has ex-
banded steadily and rapidly in the past
six months until the production of
basic materials Is now surprising all
records, although some lines of finished
goods are not in normal demand. There
is broad general Improvement. the
point has been reached where the fear
OF not being able to get deliveries is
stimulating purchases. and prices are
advancing in many lines to the best
figure realized in recent years. The
earnings of the United States Steel
Corporation for the third quarter o.
1915 were the largest for any quarter
in several years. New capital has be-
gun to go into the steel industry,
soms of the important companies are
undergoing reorganization. and capac-
ity is being considerably increased. At
tention is given to this elsewhere.
Current railway earnings and bank
clearings are now comparing with the
subnormal figures of a year ago. and
show heavy gains. for traffic and trade
a year ago were about as poor as could
be. Allowance must be made for eX-
traordinary activity in certain lines.
notably automobiles and war materials.
but the general merchandise movement
is much freeT. and more confidence is
manifested in commercial and indus
trial circles than at any time since the
outbreak of the war. The figures for
idle cars have taken a SUDDEN drop. and
of car shortage. congestion
OF traffic and OF labor shortage are be-
coming frequent Business is not boom
ing in all lines. Large construction
work is sim below what IL should be
in normal times in this growing coun-
try. but the amount OF building of the
smaller class makes a good showing.
The available supply of labor is so
fully employed that the situation is
on the verge Of being critical. Food
supplies promise to be abundant and
moderate in price for the coming year.
and the outlook for general comfort
and prosperity in the United States is
at present very promising.

Broad Expansion of Business
Activity All Over Country

The outstanding feature of the business
situation In October has been the fact
that all trade has been Enthusiastically
better. We expressed the opinion two
months ago. says the November bulletin
of the National City Bank, of New York.
that as the season for fall trade came
on the country would swing into a broad.
general state of activity. and that ex-
pectation has been realized. Every part
of the country now sends good reports,
and the contrast they make with the
conditions Of year ago Is calculated to
inspire the most profound sentiments OF
relief, satisfaction and gratitude.
The South. which aNyear ago was pros
trate, with cotton selling at cents per
pound or less, has regained its footing
and Its courage. Although this years
cotton crop Is smaller by possibly more
than Is per cent. the total value will be
higher than last years, and II has been
raised at considerably lower cost.
Furthermore. the South has grown more
of other crops. particularly corn and
wheat, than ever before. and has reached
the stage OF giving thanks for the lessons
u cents per pound. dirferett atmosphere
pervades the South, and II is again an
active factor in the trade OF the country.
The grain farmers are not faring quite
So well as last year, for prices are lower.
but the yields are so large that they have
little cause for complaint. The one Sc
rious disappointment in agriculture this
year has been in the failure Of a con-
siderable portion of the corn crop in the
northern part OF the belt to reach ma
turity. but the hay and forage crops are
so abundant that the loss will be borne
with comparative ease. This Is the ad-
vantage of having the corn crop cut
down by a wet season instead OF by a
drought which curtails all plant growth.
The fruit and root crops are generally
good. The wet season drenched even the
Plains States. SO that the dry" farmers
have had a prosperous season, with un-
heard Of yields OF wheat, as well as
abundant crops Of sugar beats and the
grasses. The prospect for a continuance
of the duty on sugar increases the cheer
fulness Of the West. The wool growers
have sold this years clip at record prices,
and the live stock interests are excep-
tionally prosperous. Farm seekers from
other States are pouring into the States
of the Northwest. where a limited amount
of comparatively cheap lands are still to
be had.

No reasonable person will complain because
the Joint Congressional Committee investigating
the Districts fiscal affairs has fixed carly date
for the conclusion of the hearing. There is really
nothing more TO be said. The George committee
report has been proved be hysterical fiction the
people of the District have been indicated of the
charge that they do not pay their just share of
taxes and most persons who have followed the
testimony must be convinced that one-half the ex-
penses of the District is if anything. little for
the Federal government to pay. The Capitals
case may be left in the hands of the committee
with full confidence that it will submit a fair re-
port to Congress that the truth has been
ascertained and the false has been exposed.

Corn Donated to Suffrase~ Cause.

The equal suffrage party in Iowa is raising
campaign funds through donations of corn. A
Statewide appeal made to the farmers for con-
tributions of this kind is it seems generously re-
sponded to. Each county has its corn-collecting
committee, all being under State committee with
practically cash. but it is easier apparently, for
the average producer to give bushei of the cereal
to the suffrage cause than the price of one. When
the corn campaign is over the sufragists of that
State will what they do in the way of rails
ing funds by obtaining from merchants the use of
show windows for the display of saiables during
reasonable period. By the way, the contest for
suffrage in Iowa will not come off until late in
the spring of next year.-Christian Science Moui-
