the record. Bank clearings and rail-
road earnings prove by their large
gains the sustained increase of busi-
ness activity. Such figures are of
course affected by high prices;
though the upward tendency in many
commodities has been stopped, and
not a few articles have declined with
indications of further weakness COM
ing. There is confident spirit
among business men in general, based
upon a sound development of the
country's resources, and no longer
upon the war which seems to have
spent its extreme influence upon
American business affairs. In future
the war will be a factor chiefly in the
approach of peace. which in some
cases will naturally require RADICAL adj
justment of output and prices to the
new basis. This process has already
begun. Transactions on the Stock
Exchange were moderate in proper
tons. Liquidation in the industrials
Continued, especially in munition,
copper and auto shares which have
had an exaggerated rise and subse-
quent fall. Railroad shares held their
own well. For the time being the
stock market must be considered in
fluenced by the monetary outlook. and
the prospect of large foreign loan is
sues which absorb considerable of the
current investment capacity. On the
other hand it should be borne in mind
that the issue of these collateral loans
will withdraw large amounts of high
grade investments that otherwise
would be pressing on the market. This
prevents liquidation that ordinarily
would accompany new war loans. Tho
market for foreign securities on this
SIDE is making a remarkably satisfac-
tory growth, and promises to be
permanent departure; besides being
positive proof of our expanding inter-
est in foreign affairs"

What a convenient catch-aH Tor
blame the poor, cid European war is!
They're now blaming it FOR the man
eating tendencies being shown these
DAYS by the sharks that are infesting
the waters along the Atlantic coast.
The contention is that the war has
so seriously interfered with the traf-
fic Of ocean liners and has so reduced
the number of them that there is such
a tremendous faInng off In the food
refuse that ordinarily went into the
pecan from this source that the
sharks. which fed on it. have ap-
preached the starvation point. All
this is very interesting. But what did
the sharks of the seas do for food be-
fore there was any multitude OF
steamships sailing the oceans to pass
out free lunches to them?

THIS is GOOD NEWS.

And it should also be given prompt
attention by all those who are en-
trusted with the management of the
schools of the state.
In a bulletin issued recently by the
state fire marshars office. the infor-
nation is conveyed that tIr. Hussey,
the state fire marshal, is conducting
a campaign this summer tC the end
that school buildings which are not
provided with ample fire exits and
fire escapes must be made safe at
once.
Fortunately, the laws of Kansas are
very strict on this subject in their
requirements for such fire exits and
escapes, and Mr.. Hussey. is to be con-
graduated, even if he is doing no more
than his duty. for his announced de-
termination to enforce these laws to
the letter.
This is one of those stable doors
that it is almost criminal to leave un-
locked.
And there happens to be a consider
able number of school buildings in
the state in which fire during school
hours would undoubtedly mean the
loss of the lives of many children, lit
tie and big; ard in some cases, a dis
aster, perhaps as great and terrible as
the one at Peabody, Mass, last fall.
More than that several schools have
been notified by the state fire marshal
of their deficiencies in these particu-
lars and have not taken steps as yet
to comply with the law.
They shcGld get busy at once.
The school boards have several
weeks of the summer vacation season
still before them in which to put their
buildings in safe shape, and they will
have only themselves to blame if tho
state fire marshal sticks to his deter
mination. as he should, not to permit
school to be resumed this fall in any
school buildings r-4less the fire
escapes and exits demanded by the
laws are provided.

LIGHTNING AND TREES.

All of the Germans, of course, are
far from devoting all of their atten-
tions to the great war and which is
pressing their nation harder these
days than at any time since it began.
Those not at the front are as busy as
the war permits them with their usual
avocations. and they have time on the
side for the invest -ations of one sort
and another that result in unearthing
facts of interest and value.
Some of them recently busted them
selves with the collection of statistics
in different parts of the German en-
pire as to the danger of different va
ricties of trees being struck by light
ming. A compilation of these statis-
tics gives the following percentages:
Oak, 32.1; larch, 9.5; fir, 3.S; pine,
is; Scotch fir, O.9; birth, Ia; beech,
0.3; and alder. 90.
A report on this subject, and which
has been relayed to this country by
Talbot j. Albert, the United States
consul at Brunswick, Germany, states
important factor among others as to
the lightning danger with trees. Trees
growing in moist soils along the
courses of rivers and brooks and in
the neighborhood of ponds are espec-
tally exposed to the danger. Trees
with deep penetrating roots are more
easily struck than those with shallow
roots nearer the surface. AS proof
of this is the greater frequency of the
apple tree being struck than the pear
in the same orchard. It is also stated
that the poplar stands first in danger
before the oak, elm, ash, gum and
pear tree. Together with the beech
the least attractive to lightning are
chestnut, maple, alder and mountain
ash. Between these two groups stan6
the apple, cherry. linden and walnut
During thunder storms it is advis
able therefore to avoid oaks, poplars
all varieties of pine, willows, elm anC
pear. If shelter is taken under a tree
which is always dangerous, it SHOULD
not be under one standing alone. TIL,
planting of trees which attract light
ming is recommended in the neighbor
hood of houses especially poplars
partly to prevent the possibility of tn
rebounding of the lightning. It i

SUNRISE.
The lark is hymning in the sky
The blackbfrd in the hazel nigh
The robin from the aged thorn
With joyous note salutes the morn
And in the lofty pines above
Coos to its mate the gentle dove
Far through the yiewless depths of air
The cuckoos call again / hear.
Sweeter than all the singing birds
Sweeter than either notes or words
In nv soul are echoes ringing
OF mystic songs and mystic singing.
The highest harmony of thought
That can't be written rhymed or wrought
The souls springtides majestic swell
That few can feel and none can tell.

MIR. CATERS MEAL.

After Mr. Cater thump. thumped
and thud. thudded his way back to
the creek, he splashed with a loud
k'pIunk into the water. That was
one funny thing about old Mr.. Cater
some times he would slip into the
water so no one would guess he was
near. But just let something upset
his temper and it was very different!
No soft slipping around then! Indeed
not, He would splash and founder
SO noisily that everyone could tell he
was there and that he was cross as
could be!
That was the way now. Every crea-
ture nearby knew, without being told.
that something had made him very
cross and that they had better not get
in his path So every creature
crouched low and hid in the safest
place he could find.
The wood ANTS crept away to the
back corner of their hole in the old
log; Miss Chameleon changed herself
into a dull brown, exactly matching
the bark and leaf mold on which she
Law under the side of the log; Terry
Turtle, who had been summing himself
up the bank a little way, slid silently
into the water and softly padded him
self across to the other side of the
creek, to where he knew he could find
a safe hole that Mr.. Cater didn't
know of. And even the owls and cardi-
mails and orioles and nmpkins and
cranes, who knew well enough that
they were safe If only they stayed ir,
their trees and kept away from the
waters edge, even they crouched down
on thcir nests and kept very still.
Mr.. Cater was cross-there was no
mistaking thati
-'Umphl A nice how t doi' he
grumbled to himself, "a nice how T.
do To think that that fine, juicy
little pig got away. from mel And L
so hungry could eat him in no time!'s
And he swished his tail angrily as he
made his way through the water.
Whats all this fuss / hear?" asked
Mrs. Cater. as she stuck her nose out
of a hole in the bank and looked at
her mate. What in the world is the
natter"
.sEnough's the matter" retorted Mr.
Cater, land if you cared anything
