DELUGE OF WEALTH.

Business is going to have hard time
this year-in supplying orders.
Business is going to be as bad as seven
billion dollars new money put into CirCula-
ton can make it.
Seven billion dollars on top of the nor
NAL demand, already taxing field and fac
tory and mine.
The hoardings of a thousand markets
thrown upon the busy marts of trade~-dol1
lars scattered like autumn leaves across the
land in wind storm.
Seven billions-about half of which will
be spent by the United States government,
and half by Our allies, and all in this cOun-
try-every part of the country that can
deliver the goods, especially something to
eat.
Seven billion do1lars-S7 900, 100000
it doesn't look particularly impressive;
one simple little numeral and trickle OF
Cyphers. But seven billion dollars could
buy twenty Panama canals, and three hun
dred and fifty super-d ghts-13, 44O
tons of bullion-enough to load 1000
freight cars or solid train thirteen miles
long
Laid end to end, seven billion dollars in
greenbacks would circle the earth thirty
four times, and an express train running
forty miles an hour, day and night, would
take two and a half years to cover this dis
lance.
How much is seven billion dollars? Count
it and see-that is to say, imagine it if you
can. One man with mathematical turn
OF mind attempted it:
Imagine expertcounter of money counting seven
billions of dollars in dollar bills" he land
enough TO q second-belongfng o union
working eight hours day, Sundays holidays
Guided, and then imagine him working job
fifty then turning the work over to another
the first who tackled the Job would have
dead 700 when m quitting
job-each Of the fifteen working fifty years-woud
leave enough Of bills uncounted to give to each
woman and child in the great city Louis
apiece, and still leave twenty
uncounted.
But uncountable though it is, this
miracle of wealth is to be thrown upon the
United States that everybody may help
| themselves.
! At six per cent seven billion dollars in
vested IN business will create nearly So ,000,-
! 100000 new wealth year; that will create
$3O,O0O,OOO, and so on seven billion dollars
will reverberate down the ages-like a
snow ball, it will get bigger the further it
! goes.
And seven billion dollars is only the be-
! ginning of Our war fund
! Make ready for big busiess if YOU would
not lose thousands OF dollars in untitled or
ders; develop the new opportunities that
! are begging to be taken up.

WAR SUMMARY.

During the last week the submarines
ships sunk was somewhat larger than
during the previous week. Air fighting
has been unusually active and the indica-
tions are that aerial warfare is rapidly
becoming more important factor in
military operations Published reports
indicate that in the air the Allies are too
strong for the Germans. On the battle
fronts no extensive operations have been
undertaken. Raids, trench fighting, at
tacks and counter attacks have resulted
in no important gains. The news from
Russia is more favorable but affairs are
still chaotic.
