Any man who can make a living for

A special election is to be called in
Galena the latter part of November
to vote bonus bonds for a new inter-
urban line to that city. Several of
the other towns in the southeast KAN
sas mining district have also called
similar elections.
A Stafford county man made money
out of adversely after the heavy rains
says the Great Bend Tribune, by rent
ing his wheat stacks to hunters for
duck blinds. All the land around the
stacks was under water, and the ducks
were flying thick. The hunters bagged
a fine lot of ducks, and so the wheat
crop will not be a total loss if it is
never threshed.
Mrs. w: Y. Morgan's view of an

of joy. l SO wanted to see how the
eastern women with their culture and
their convention would surround the
problem of a big, heterogeneous
crowd. My introduction to a public
meeting was IN a beautiful upstate
town. The 'Woodman' hall was ablaze
with bunting and Queer-looking stuff
that 1 guess was meant to ornament.
A crowd that took seats as near the
exits as possible, was entertained the

discounted, but the new prosperity of
the steel industry has fortunately
something more permanent behind it
than war contracts. 1t is based upon
the solid growth of the country, plus
a mass of accumulated orders arising
from period of discouraging business
conditions which are fast melting
away
Commenting on the weakness that
prevails again in foreign exchange,
Mr.. Clews points out that it is due, of
course, to the continued excess of ex-
ports over imports, and he sees no
signs of stoppage in this particular.
And he calls attention to the fact that
we cannot indefinitely give credit for
the buping of our own goods. He
thinks that the only way the i'm
mediate requirements can be met,
since a further loan is impracticable
at this time, is through the establish
ment of credits by the Allies with
American bankers. Mr.. Clews reports
that money is still easy, general trade
is improving; j.. estment funds appear
to be plentiful, and an undertone of
genuine confidence prevails in nearly
all departments of business activity.

IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD.

! In his current weekly financial re-
view, Henry Clews, the New York
| banker, attributes the wane in the
| operations in war stocks to the
! liquidation that was certain to come,
to the decided opposition that de-
veloped in financial circles to reckless
speculation, and also to the war news
| telling of the serious discussions in
the French and British cabinets, of
the failure of the Allies at the Oar
danelles and rumors that one side was
actually seeking peace while the other
would not hear to it. "a further rea-
son for lessened interest in the spe-
cialties,' he writes, was that the rail-
roads and better class of industrials
now offer safer opportunities for
either investment or speculation. The
railroad outlook is particularly en-
couraging, more so than for many
months, if not years. 1t is consider
ably over year since the eastern
roads begal to receive their per cent
advance. Because of poor traffic the
financial results of this advance did
not appear; except that the railroads
/ plight would have been vastly worse
without it. Meanwhile stringent econ
omies were put into effect, and most
of the roads managed to make very
fair showing, considering adverse in
| fluences. Home conditions have GER
tainly changed. There is no longer a
scarcity of traffic; on the contrary,
there is more probability Of a scarcity
of transportation. The biggest harvest
! on record is waiting to be handled,
assuring ample local traffic for the
railroads, which will be further stun
/ ulated by prosperity of the farmers
! 9
in those sections. A larger portion of
this harvest than usual will be brought
to the seaboard for export, especially
as there is no early prospects of Rus
sian grain supplies moving through
the Dardanelles. Added to the rush
of grain eastward and merchandise
westward will be enormous shipments
of ammunitions which are now run
ming in full volume, fulfilling early
| orders Henceforward, these ship
ments will be much heavier than at
any time since the war, thus creating
a large increase in freight for eastern
railroads. The earnings of the latter
for the next few months will show
big gains both gross and net. -. In
the industrial Shares-war stocks ex-
cepted-the we'll established concerns
have exhibited good resisting qualities
against reaction. The various steel
shares have of course led in every
upward movement. These are now
benefiting from increased domestic
orders; and their outlook, in view of
better home trade and prospective
government orders and the prepared
ness movement if decided upon, is
particularly promising. 1t may have
| been partly and in some cases largely

A NEW PAPER STOCK.

| Attention is called to the possibili-
| ties of vacation grass in the manufac-
ture of paper in a new O1eSSional
paper of the United States department
of agriculture. Zacaton grass extends
from California and Texas southwark
to the Argentine Andes. 1t grows most
profusely, however, in the mountain
regions east and west of the City of
Mexico, where it is harvested for the
sake of its roots. These are made into
brushes of various sorts. and for this
reason the zacaton plant is frequently
known by the common English names
of broOm-root grass, wire grass, and
rice-root grass. At the present time
the tops of the plant are allowed to go
to waste. 1t is from these that there
is reason to believe that Il satisfactory
paper-making material may be de-
veloped. Laboratory tests of this grass
conducted by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show that it can
be chemically reduced to paper stock
by the soda process more easily and
with less expense than is necessary to
reduce poplar wood. The same pro-
cesses and methods which are en-
ployed for the manufacture of pulp
from poplar wood are quite suitable
for the treatment of vacation, but in
place of the wood-sawing, chipping,
and screening machinery, a grass dust
er is necessary. The paper manufac-
tured from the stock has proved as
satisfactory in physical tests as a first
grade, machine-finished printing pa
per-. 1t has, moreover, a very satisfac-
tory appearance and feeling. For
bleaching, however, the experiments
showed that more bleaching powder
was required than with poplar stock.
No estimate of the cost of manufac-
ture is made in tie bulletin already
mentioned. A rapid increase, however,
in the demand for paper and the in
creasing likelihood that the raw ma
terial that is necessary for its manu-
facture will not be sufficient to meet
this demand makes the subject worthy
of further investigation by the trade.
1t has been estimated that the growth
of wood in the United States is being
removed at the rate of SO cubic feet
per acre each year, while the natural
increase is at the ate of IL cubic feet
per acre. In other words, wood is be-
ing used three times as fast as it
grows. The consequence is, of course, |
a continual increase in the price of raw
material and the desirability of find |
ing some substitute is obvious.
