1916 THE BIGGEST YEAR
IN OUR HISTORY.

The March American Magazine
quotes Americas foremost financiers
to the effect that the present year will
be the biggest in u history in a
business and commercial way. An
interesting article by Albert w. At
wood calls Uncle Sam the new Monte
Cristo, telling us that entirely aside
from the war, this country seems to
| ave entered upon a period of ire
mcndous expansion and business ac-
tivity.
"Men such as John H. Fahey, pres
ident of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, say that this year, 1916,
will be the biggest single year in the
history of the United States. No lon
ger do we fear a shock to American
industry when the war is over, for
factories are turning from munition
contracts to staple products. The
war was the original stimulus; but
now that the wheels have been started
the inertia has been overcome, and the
business machine is running with a
speed and with a power never ex-
ceeded. There is now a ~veritable
ground swell in trade, broad and solid
a complete industrial renaissance. 1t
may fairly be said that the war in
jected a spectacular element, which
has obscured the fundamental nature
of the business revival.
Investigate almost any trade and
you will find that before the war,
during the long period of depression
and liquidation, wholesalers, jobbers,
and in many instances, retailers had
allowed their stocks to dwindle al
most to the vanishing point. A long
delayed recovery vas overdue. The
simply took up what little slack
was and impaired initial mo-
nentum."

WHEN DADDY BUILDS THE FIRE

When daddy builds the kitchen fire HI
bustles through the rooms,
And slams the door and bangs the
screens and in the kitchen
glooms;
And whangs the kindling INTO bits
and lumbers up the coal,
And pours a little coal oil on-the
smoke begins to roll.
And then he HES him to the porch,
and with a martyrs air
He sinks with signs and groans into
the amplest easy-chair,
And elevates his weary feet above his
weary head,
And figures, figures, figures, and wish
es he were dead.
Then mother and gets the
broom and brushes up the muss,
And sets the table quietly without q
bit of fuss,
Anr makes the toast and boils the
eggs and dips the coffee clear,
And calls us in to breakfast with her
voice all full of cheer.
And makes the beds and scrubs the
floor and picks up all our things,
And washes up the dishes and an
swers all the rings,
And goes and gets the garden truck
and makes Jeff Davis pie,
And puts the dinner on to cook, the
doughnuts on to fry.
And stuffs the raisin pickles and boils
some corn to can,
And sweeps the walks and skins the
milk and mends the leaky pan;
And hunts the check dad couldn't find
and gets my hat for me;
And spreads the cloth and serves the
meal and bathes my swollen knee
And washes all the dishes up and
shells some butter beans,
And kills and picks some chickens and
all the silver cleans.
And gets the supper under way and
cans a little fruit,
And makes me take a bath, alas! and
lays me out a suit;
And telephones the cleaners to come
for daddy's coat,
And tells the suffrage ladies, "No, she
doesn't want to vote"
recumbent on the couch,
slumbers my peaceful sire,
For daddy thinks the worlds work
done when he has built the fire.
