There are numerous good fiielders
out of positions right now, however,
and ii Is not thought that the signing
of Twombley by the Baltimore peo-

Smith has been in Gotham for the

ably have some interesting news

planned before he left to bring

ers evenly between Richmond and
Newark. just who will come to
Richmond and who will go TO
Newark will not be known until
after the directors make the Sc
lection. But Manager Smiths
hands arc tied until the mag
mates do agree. Smith does not
desire to sign any outside players

he will get from the officials. He
hopes mat this matter win be set

OUR WAR PROSPERITY.

1.-The upward surge in values gain
ed renewed force" writes Henry
Clews, the New York banker in his
weekly financial review under date of
October 81. They applied to com
modities and securities alike, not
only in the United States, but in the
world over. All neutral countries are
enjoying exceptional prosperity, and
in this respect he United States far
outdistances every one of them. The
war, of course, is the supreme influ-
ence, all other factors being of minor
Importance compared with this one
Even our election, full as it is of i'm
portant potentialities, is completely
overshadowed by the cataclysm across
the sea. This war is almost entirely
responsible for the scarcity of both
commodities and labor. Short crops
are a factor that cannot be over
looked; nevertheless the old and sup
posedly obsolete law of supply and de-
mand is working ceaselessly with an
energy never before experienced, be-
cause of the struggle now devastating
Europe. This week wheat and corn
touched new high points, with indica-
lions that still higher figures may pos
sibly be reached. All foot products
are rising, and the same is true of
clothing, while our mineral industries
iron, steel, copper, petroleum, ETC.
are rushed at a pace far exceeding the
most daring expectations of a year
ago. Bradstreet's commodity index
number was 12.O399 October l, an adj
vance of % per cent since the war be-
gan. Industries dependent upon ag-
ricultural and mineral products are
reaping directly or indirectly large
profits as result of war initiation, but
! their prosperity is small compared
with what has been reached by a few
of the big industries. notably those en-
gagged in the fabrication of steel.
The question forced upon our
minds is how long can such high ten
sion prosperity last; and have we in
the United States reached the crest Of
I the wave? 1 think not; because the
end of the war. on which all this fe-
verish rush depends. is not yet in
| sight. Apparently there will be no
/ peace for many months at least
| Signs of serious exhaustion on either
side are still wanting; reason has lost
its sway, and mad passion rules all
belligerents. Until the power of one
side or the other is broken it would
seem that peace will be impossible.

Things appear to be a little dull in
Frankfort, Marshall county. Listen to
this from the editor of the Frankfort

nothing.
A Chase county man saw his first
football game when he went to Cot
tonwood Falls the other day, reports
the Coffeyville Journal, and it sug-
gests that up till that time he had
probably harbored the delusion that
football was a game wherein the play
ers kicked the ball.
