Analysts from New York.

The following analysis of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
by W. B. Hibbs & Co. from Logan K
Bryan. their New York correspondents:
"In the Industrial section Of the list
price in many instances showed rather
substantial ga rs today. American cor
porations which are expected to consum-
mate contracts for expected government
needs were the strongest issues and i'm
parted strength to the market in general.
The copper stocks were conspicuously
strong and an increasing demand for the
red metal Is predicted IL this country be-
comes enbroiled in the European con-
fiict. Oficials Of some OF the leading in
dustrial companies who are making de-
liveries on war contracts to the allies
are credited with the prediction that
should Germany's contemplated new sub
marine campaign be a reality shipments
will not be hindered to a much greater
extent than they have been in the past.
The opinion is gaining ground that should
Germany commit any acts intoleraole to
this government and actual warfare re-
suits, the entire list may get temporary
setback to be followed by a resumption
Of aggressive buying in the better class
80 industrials."

New York, Feb. 5.-Stocks doomed in
Wall Street today and in the late trad
ing so did wheat corn and cotton. Stock
advances were as much as four points in
many cases. May wheat was up SIS
cents bushel and May cotton $3.50 a
bale. Two stocks made new low records,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and New Haven.
Commission houses having Western
wires had large quantities of stock for
sale. Local institutions were buyers on
balance. Traders on the floor covered
tneir snorts and went long. The profes-
slonal element Is very bullish. The pub
lie is wavering.
In any event. so long as the European
war continues. there will be big demand
Tor basic materials such as steel and
copper, lead wheat and cotton. The only
tnlng that makes it impossible for profes-
sional or public investors to decide on a
course OF action is the uncertainty as to
what Germany is willing to do or can do

The Saturday Evening Post, pub
LEGATION that usually stands for the
interests of the millionaire class, ad-
vocates putting duty of 25 per cent
on coffee and tea so that the poor peo-
pie, who are the heaviest users, will
assist in raising revenue Of $25,000,-
900 annually to help make up defic-
iency of some $40O,O00,000 created by
passing "pork" bills. The Post be-
lieves that this will prove an object
lesson to the common people who may
be thus awakened and rise up and pro-
test against being robbed thru the
various measures. Sure, soak the
masses. They have been taxed to
death and have seldom murmured, but
they have done a great deal of think
ing just the same and will soon rise
up and throw off their letters. The
editor of the Saturday Evening Post,
who perhaps is not acquainted with the
mind of the rural districts, thinks that
the reason the common people have
submitted so meekly is that they don't
know any better. 1t might do this ed
itor good if he'd spend the coming
summer in the rural districts and learn
at first hand just what the farmers
are thinking and doing.

Florida's new chief executive, Gov
ernor Cats, is an interesting charac-
ter. He is an ex-teacher and preach
er and was elected as an independent
candidate. He was defeated as DEM
ocratic candidate in the primaries but
bolted the ticket and got out in his
''li'l OF Ford" and made a winning
campaign. In the inaugural parade,
he insisted in riding in his Peace Ship
which had carried him safely thru the
breakers of the campaign. The Gov
ernor has family of six, known as
"the kitten family"

expense of hundreds of dollars for
cuts, extra paper and the work in get
ting out the very attractive numbers.
The spirit of optimism showed in
every paragraph and while conditions
were painted with a rosy hue, the ed.
itors were not compelled to deviate
from facts to make their stories in
teresting. Hundreds Of thousands of
extra copies of the various North Da-
kota publications Of last week have
been sent elsewhere and this state
should feel the results from this ex-
cellent method of advertising, which if
paid for at regular rates would have
amounted to many thousands of dol
lars. The Independent will venture to
say that not one Of these special edi-
tions paid the publishers red cent
over the expense but the North Dako-
ia publisher has always been willing
to do his share in letting others know
of the excellent opportunities that
await them in this promised land.

The farmers of the United States
are ready to grasp the opportunities
offered by the farm land banks in
giving them cheap money and the next
few years will see a wonderful devel-
opment of the rural sections Of our
country. Farmers have been short Of
equipment, but never felt able to make
all the improvements they needed and
desired, fearing to go back into debt
too much. With interest rates on land
at around five or six per cent, farmers
will not hesitate to build better barns
and houses and make other improve
ments. This will mean prosperity not
only for the farmers but for the war;
ious concerns that will be engaged in
the manufacture of millions of dollars
worth of this equipment.

for the ensuing year. The manufac-
turers refused to allow the price of
print paper to be settled by arbitration
and threatened to shut down their
mills and engage in some other line of
business if the government insisted on
their charging smaller price. They
declare that the prices of print paper
have been too low for many years and
it is believed that when the prices fin
ally settle back to normal, they will
be charging four and a half to five
cents a pound. It is said that the days
of two-cent print are forever over.

CORSETS MORE FATAL
THAN DRINK, TOBACCO,
OR WAR AND FAMINE

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 22.-Mrs.
Anna Hoeltke, the woman who will ask
the legislature to pass law abolish
ing corsets in Indiana, today declared
that "the corset has killed more wo-
men and children than whiskey, to-
bacco, war and famine"
"This is worse than barbarous Gus
tom," she said, "of deforming the
waists Of girls and women is far more
injurious than the savage custom of
fattening the head or the Chinese Gus
tom Of binding feet.
reports indicate that thousands of
deformed babies are born every year
as the result of mothers binding their
waists with corsets.

Makes Money From His Farms

Herman Kuchenbecker, who has
been manager of the Logan Farmers
Elevator for years, was transacting
business in Minot Wednesday. Her
man bought 10000 bushels of grain
last year, which is large amount con-
sidering our light crop. He owns three
and half quarters Of valuable, fer
tile land close to Logan, which pays
him nice rate on his investment an
nually. For instance last year he
cleared 81, 500 from his rye crop grown
on two quarters, the crop averaging IL
bushels, which sold for $1O8 per bush
ell. He raises considerable rye every
year, getting the proceeds from the
entire crop.

A crusade against whispering il

A crusade against whispering in
company is being urged, and anti
whispering societies are being organ
lied in different sections of the coun-
try, the people signing a pledge to
"discountenance in themselves swell
as others, the whispering habit during
any religious service, concert, lecture
or other gathering where people are
assembled to listen" In the Senate
and House of Representatives it has
been serious infraction to be caught
whispering in the galleries, andli it is
no less a public offence against the
public welfare in smaller assemblies.

WHY PROMOTION CAME NOT.

WHY PROMOTION CAME NOT.

trade publication why promotion came
not to man who was looking for it:
"He watched the clock.
"He was always grumbling.
"He had no iron in his blood.
"He was always behindhand
''He didn't believe in himself.
"He was willing but untitled.
Gle was stung by a bad book.
"He asked too many questions.
ellis stock excuse was 4 forgot
"He wasn't ready for the next step.
"He didn't put his heart into his
work.
"He learned nothing from his blum
Gle felt that he was above his posi-
"He chose his friends among his in
feriors.
"He was content to be second-rate
man.
"He ruined his ability by half doing
things.
"He never dared to act on his own
judgment: 80,
"He did not think it worth his while
to learn how.
"He tried to make his bluff take the
place of ability.
Familiarity with slipshod methods
paralyzed his ideal.
"He thought that he must take
amusement every evening.
Gle thought it was very clever to
use coarse and profane language.
"He was almost ashamed of his par
ents because they were old-fashioned.
"He initiated the habits of men who
could stand more than he could.
"He did not learn that the best part
of his salary was not in his pay en-
velope."

the Mexican border, giving up their po-
sitions hurriedly without murmur.
Now they are coming back. They
have most unselfishly looked after our
interests along the border for mere
pittance. They are now returning and
all that they ask is chance to work.
It is hoped that all will be given back
their old positions.
