How THE WAR HAS AFFECTED
THE WORLDS BUSINESS.

How the war has affected business
in the principal belliserent and neu-
trail countries is shown in report
prepared by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, department of
commerce, for Senator Simmons,
chairman of the senate committee On
finance. The countries covered are
the United States, Canada, England.
France, Germany, Austria Hungary
Italy, Russia, Spain. Sweden, Argen'
tina, Brazil, Australia, British India,
British South Africa, Egypt and
Japan.
The following general conclusions
are drawn:
Business activities were fairly
normal in the various countries of the
world during the two years proceed
ing the outbreak of the war.
In every country, including the
United States, there was decided de-
cline from four to six months in most
OF the neutral countries. In the bel
ligerent countries the upward trenG
did not begin until the last few
months in 1915.
There was slight depression III
business activity in the United States
in the latter part of 1913 and early II
1914. but in the spring and summer OF
1914 there were signs Of recovery. The
outbreak of the war, however, caused
decided decline.
The United States at the close Of
the period, April. 1916, had entered
upon period of business activity
which has had no parallel in the his
tory of the country.
In the Pine Bluff territory condi
tons are unusually good. The condi
ton of the cotton crop presages {
heavy yield and prices of staple ant
seed are steadily increasing. Man.
farmers are producing the greater
portion of their needs, and indications
are that Pine Bluff and the territor!
it serves will enter upon an era o.
unprecedented prosperity during the
next few weeks. And there is moth
ing to cause doubt that the prosper
Gus period will continue indefinitely

MORE THAN UNCLE SAM EARNS.

The European war is costing $780,.
100000 a day That is 81 a day for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. In other words, we
could pay the running expenses Of
the war if every American family con-
tributed S. day for the purpose.
One of the little details standing in
the way of our doing so is the fact
that that is considerably more than
the average American family earns
The total incomes of the nation even
in this year OF abnormal prosperity,
would not suffice to pay the current
cost of the great war, not to mention
the charges piling up for the future
for soldiers pensions and the work of
reconstruction.

Twill be when the town is built.
The idea is said to have originated
,, in the head of bachelor maid named
Miss Georgia Hook of Sabetha, Kan.
She it was who started the Queen
Victoria club, which is an organiza-
ton Of, by and for spinsters, and
which now has a membership of sew
eral hundred throughout the state.
Just why she named that club for
Queen Victoria, who was married, in
stead of Queen Elizabeth, the glory OF
royal spinsterhood. is a mystery. And
that mystery is perpetuated in the
name of Victoria City.
Miss Hook, seeking new worlds for
her bachelor girls to conquer, hit
upon the opportunity offered in south
western Kansas, where they are many
thousand acres of unoccupied land.
She coaxed her bachelor sisters into
the plan. and had several dozen Of
them take up homestead claims and
cooperate in establishing town Site
and organizing town government.
Several houses have already gone up
none of them, be it known, family"
houses.
Men will not be barred from Vic
toria City. The girls say they will
want q few men-tO work for Them
But no man will be tolerated there
unless he acquiesces in petticoat gov
eminent. Or perhaps it would be safer
to say simply feminine government:
for it remains to be seen whether the
oitizenesses of community truly
emancipated from masculine in
fluences will wear anything but
trousers.
