Rates TO Meet Approval.
1.-The Cincinnati hotel men have
agreed to fix rates that will meet the
approval of our management. The In
dianapolis hotel men not only boost
their rates to an absurd figure, but
they make the reserving guest sign a
promissory note to take a room for a
given period.
Honestly. I'm tired Of it all our
plans were TO e back to the 500-mile
race for the $4,000 prize That would
mean that people would have to come
here early. and. of course. would use
the hotels. But we can't ask them Il
the hotels are going to play their OLD
game. Not us. The Denison and tive
or three OF the smaller hotels have
been decent about price making. but
the others have gone mighty strong
"The hotels argue that we ask high
prices for our seats. Yes. we have some
$40 seats. but most of our box sea Is
are complimentary. We have thous.
ands Of seats that are free and thous.
ands of others that cost a dollar. II
we asked the same prices for our seats
in proportion to the hotel rates, we'd
get 500 a seat.
I'm for Cincinnati. IL the hotel,
there follow their agreement Tvs

A REMINDER OF OTHER DAYS

Wall Street writer says that the air is filled with
rumors Of mergers and new explorations and that those
whose memories run back fifteen years or more are re-
minded Of the mergers after another by which there
was taking of plants under general management
and control Industries and interests were gathered in
with sweep that astounding because of the amounts
of capital involved the prices paid to get control Of
properties and the problems that the arseeng could then
apprehend.
This period followed by of reaction in which
those with for the trust evil had their say and
prosecutions and decisions and new laws in bulk
that staggered resulted till there cry that no man
knew when he was within the provisions Of law in the
conduct of business.
New ideas today at work in these proposed merg-
ers and exploits that tend to fill the industrial and
financial atmosphere with rmors and in due time there
may show up some originality it would seem from all the
changes through which business has passed there could
be small hope to witness Business is going on though
building upon new lines from year to year 1t will be
interesting to live years hence and witness the
methods then in force

UNDER THE SNOW

Under the snow our loved ones lie,
But their souls are whore they never die
Lonely and chill is the winter air,
As softly the mowflakes gather there,
Covering all from mortals view
OF that which hurts us, yet comforts
too.
Yes, under the snow, the pure white
snow
Those we loved and cherished sol
But there are memories pure and sweet
Of those whom e'er long, we hope to
meet.
But " we 60 to that home above
We must receive the Saviour's love,
Trust Him and serve Him with our
might
And Hen receive us and give us light
IL not privileged thus to go
And view their beds beneath the snow
We can almost see them in our thought,
Aud the soft GOV ring the snow has
wrought
But while Il is so sweet to know
Their bodies resting under the snow,
Kept from sin and every harm,
Sorrow. sickness and all alarm
Yet thro' love and faith It's sweeter far
To Wow them where they really are.

Where all is joy and peace and love.

WHO Is DOING THE BUSINESS?

We have vast supply of canned phases to the effect
that the big business of the country is done by the big
concerns and these phrases have long been the chief
stock in trade of agitators and politicians.
But it is not true at all that the big business is done
by the big concerns Ninetenths of it at last is done
by little concerns.
Some vital facts in this connection set forth in
report just issued by Vice Chairman Hurley OF the
Federal Trade Board.
This official report shows that only nine out of every
twenty-five business earn more than $4,000
year One concern in fifty does business in excess OF
81 100000 year, and the number whose profits amount
to that sum is exceedingly small
Not more than 462 business enterprises in the whole
country do yearly business of $50OOOOO but this does
not include banks railroads and public utility corpora
tions which reseive large of money though some
times earning very small profits.
Figures are given to show that large percentage of
the business of the country struggling along under the
burden of debt and annual loss, either to fail ultimately
or reach profitable basis.
