\ Week Of Promise and Improve
 ment.
 (ChiCagO Trihune


 It cannot be said that the first week of the new year witnessed a rusT tow ,rd or by prosperity, but no leve' he15ed business man had ex- pcctnd anything of that sort. The w,ek, however, proved to be signifi- cent and interesting in several re- spec S and it has emphasized the up- wnrd trend the unmistakable signs of recovery in the fundamental indus tries.
 Railroad orders have been placed and inquiries preliminary to orders have been numerous enought to in- spire ,pti'nicm ir the steel industry The easy condition of the money mar ket, whch, of course is in part due to lack of demand, has, on the other hand, the effect of encouraging con- struction and enterprise. Much con- struction is anticipated in the early spring and manufacturers who have been running half or two thirds time are looking forward to a full ca pacity basis.
 The operations on the stock ex- changes, on the whole, have reflected this hopeful spirit. Ups and downs there have been, but the net result has been gain and a distinct one. European liquidation has not mater ialized and England's restrictions on stock trading have lent additional strength to American securities In fact, it is beginning to be felt in Flu rope and here that, while foreign sell ling remains a serious possibility. which military reverse may change into a graver actuality, such selling may be counterbalanced by foreign buying Of our high class securities Our peace, our trade and financial conditions. our heavy sales to Europe cannot fail to impress the old world investor. Our current debts have been paid orr and for the first time since August the statement is made from London that the exchange situation is normal, and that the conferences of official and private financiers in re- gard to American British balances nave been suspended.
 Not only are odity buyers in the field again, but investors have new millions to take care of. The January disbursements in interest and dividends have created a demand for safe and attractive securities, even in England France, and other Eur

 They must have accommodating trains on that branch of the Central Vermont that runs through Stafford Springs. One of them, in crossing a bridge, caught up with a young lady who are walking the tracks. Instead of rudely jostling her and perhaps breaking her bones, it picked her up and carried her off the bridge so gently that when, under a misappre- hcnsion, they took her to the hospital not the slightest injury could be found on her. That's the advantage of rail- reading in the land of steady habits.- New Haven Register.
 Thinking in the plural produces much muddy logic, and great deal of mis- understanding "The theaters are full, times cannot be very hard" says one man. A very usual speech, by the way. Full theaters do not prove good times. That is, there is no neces- sary relation between one part of the speech and the other. It is individ- uals who go to the theater. It is ln- dividuals who are employed, or are not employed. Those who are em- ployed can go to the theater as they always did. The fact about hard times is that in the hardest of times there is only a certain per cent. of unemployment. Some people keep right on working, and maintain their us11al scale of expenditure.-Brid port Farmer.

 Beside the Bowery, by J. H. Denison.
 "A life singularly full of self-sac- rificc, faith and inspiration to others, was that of Eliza Rockwell, who for many years gave herself to the poor and suffering of the crowded and sordid streets which lie along the lower end of New York's Bowery. In the belief that a brief record of this life will be a source of help and in spiration to others, and with the wish that the memory of such life should be perpetuated, this book has been written" Publishers note.

Emergency Money
is Fast Being Put
Out of Circulation

What little OF the emergency currency
under the Vroeland- Aldrich law actually
put into use In Omaha during the fall
when the war scare was causing some
financial fluctuation, Is now being rap
idly retired by the banks OF Omaha that
used II. Only a part OF this emergency
currency available 20 the banks of
Omaha was actually called for and used.
The local bankers kept their heads we'll
and realized that II there was one
place In the country where bankers could
get along without calling emergency
measures Il was In omaha this year
with the general condition OF prosperity
and the great crop conditions Of the
state and this section Of the country.
Even the crop-moving fund allotted TO
Omaha by the federal treasury as an
emergency loan from the Treasury de-
partment to aid In the moving OF the
crops was not all called for by the
local banks.
Perhaps nowhere else in the country
was so much independence OF world
conditions shown by banking houses and
fiduclary institutions as In Omaha dur
ing the time soon after the war broke
out. when there was talk OF q great
flow of American gold to Europe. There
was even talk OF panic at the time. Seine
of the eastern banks issued clearing
house certificates which they passed for
currency. In their mad effort TO prevent
their currency from flowing out Of their
grasp. The Omaha Clearing House as
ISOLATION held meeting after meeting for
some ten days, and there was talk OF
doing as the eastern banks had done
Wiser counsel prevailed. and Il was
shown clearly by some OF the leading
financlers OF the city that the Omaha
banks had plenty OF money and that
there really was no need of fear Thul
Omaha stood out almost alone among
the cities OF It's size In not issuing GER
tifieate currency but paying cash 10 ali
