BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD, SAYS
\ NOTED AUTHORITY IN DRY GOODS

That apprehension with regard to
business and the future during the war
with Germany is needless and ground
less, is the conclusion which comes
from reading a most comprehensive
article in the Dry Goods Guide"
which has made careful and complete
study of conditions in the countries
which have been long at war and. also.
in the United States. Here is what the
war has done for Canada:
What the war has done for Canada,
is well worth careful consideration by
this country How nation whose trade
balance. year before the war was
S430, 000,0 on the wrong side of the
ledger has shifted until the trade bal
ance shows an excess in exports Of
SS15 000 600 in the present year, is one
of the features worth studying. An
other feature equally important to US
is the fact that a people, by no means
military, amounting to only 5000, 900,
decided to raise an army of $4,000
men, ana then increased it to 400 600
and shortly will still further increase
it. There is still another important
fact for Americans to study, namely;
Canada before the war was a country
undeveloped industTially, today she
is able to provide fully for her army, to
sell munitions to her allies, TO finance
their payments for these munitions, to
contribute many millions of dollars to
war relief, and to buy in some British
treasury certificates in addition. If
called on to face similar conditions, the
United States with a population of
100000 900 and almost endless re-
sources. should go much further, with
out seriously affecting trade at home.
Not only this, but even greater pros
perity than exists today would be
most certain to follow.

To ascertain when light is ~

following instructions are given:
Have the light focused so that
the reflected rays viii be condensed

and so as to eliminate stray rays as
far as possible To focus a light
or any perpendicular flat surface of
sufficient size at a distance of 10 or
Is feet and by adjusting the bulb
backward or forward reduce the
area of light as much as possible.
and make the light from both lamps
as nearly uniform as possible. This is

necessary to overcome Objectionable

measure distance of rs feet to the

Make a mark on a board, broom
handle or on the coat of an indiv-
idual ~ inches from the ground and
see that the upper circumference of
the solid volume of reflected light
does not strike above that mark at
u feet in front of the light
Police officers and others may
easily determine the distance from
the ground by noting a certain but
ton. pocket. lapel, or any other ais
lance mark on their wearing an
parel. BY stepping III front of the
machine or the 1evel at a distance
approXimating Is feet they may easily
determine whether o. not the lights
are properly DETECTED.
There are some reflectors thar

and bullion, our exports exceeded our
imports by $4,000, goo, so that from the
international point of view. we were
well able to pay our foreign interest,
and large part of our war charges.
For the present calendar year the ex-
cess of exports is over S345, 900, 600.
When the war began it seemed clear
that Canada would be obliged to Dor
row her share of the cost of the war,
and great as was the burden borne by
Great Britain. she agreed to lend us
believe, although | do not speak with
authority, $5.000,004 month. AS most
Of our expenditure at that time was
made at home. this was of a material
help to our finances. In July, 1915,
mainly because of capital eXpep-
ditures which could not be arrested,
Canada made her first loan in New
York, borrowing s25,000,0O0 for one
year. and $20,000000 for two years.
By the end of 1915 we began to feel
RI good effects OF the stoppaga Of
export of all kinds of munitions, such
as foodstuffs, clothing, saddlery, shells
rifles. e.c. It became evident that we
could and should pay our own war
charges without aid from Great Britain
and as the business of making shells
and kindred munitions began TO eX-
pand and take shape

HEADLIGHT EVIL
|SST|L[ MENACE
ON PUBLIC WAYS

The headlight evil again is a
menace on the highways. The prob
lem of the headlight, at least for the
time being, seems to be best met by
the simple suggestion of the Society
of Automobile Engineers that no
heam Of reflected light shall rise
above ~ inches at distance of 70
feet This decision is the outcome
of much study and experiment dur
ing the last year.
In compiling an up to date uniform
motor vehicle and traffic law, which
is about ready for circulation, the
A A. A. legislative chairman has thus
covered the headlight question:
"Glaring Headlights-It shall be
unlawful to use on a vehicle of any
kind operated on the public high
ways of this state any lighting device
Of over four candlepower equipped
with a reflector, unless the same
shall be so designed, DETECTED or
arranged that no portion of the beam
of reflected light when measured
Is feet or more ahead of the lamps,
shall rise above AZ inches from the

stands under all conditions of load

Harvest Time Suggestions

Suggestion is made at this time
that farmers who load their grain
on open hayracks to haul to the
stack should make the rack tight
enough to hold the shelled grain OF
use canvas to catch it. The high
price of grain and the prospects for
shortage make the cost Of the canvas
look small in comparison with what
may be saved by it. Several farm.
ers might use the saem canvas where
their stacking does not come at quite
the same time.
In operating the binder where the
grain varies in height, it is import
ant that the driver should keep
shifting the binder to suit the length
of straw and have the bands come
at the middle of the sheaf so that
straws will not lose out in handling
To save buying more binders in a
community, farmers can combine
their efforts of teams and drivers,
and keep the machine going all day
without stopping for feed and rest,
thus saving their crops with the min
imum of investment in machinery
and laborers. ..-.....
In selecting the place for stacking
the grain, care should be used to
have the ground cleaned off so 1t
will be easy to save the shelled grain
at threshing time. Sticks, cobbles
and other things that would be
dangerous if fed into the cylinder
should be removed. Straw is going
to be valuable this year and care
should be given to save the straw
in as good condition as possible to
resist the storms. Any kind Of a
stockade that will hold it in conn.,
pact body will be worth while. Some
who have barns are planning to blow
it into the barn and catch and hold
everything but the hum of the ma
chine.

The farmers in this section hav-
ing hay for sale from Springfield,
Grandview and Sterling met at Ster-
ling, Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of discussing all the pros and
cons on the price of hay There has
been a great deal of discussion cur
rent this year as to what price hay
should be, to not drive out the sheep
men and yet bring the farmers fair
returns, and so this get-together
meeting was held to establish a
price. After long discussions and
the matter was thoroly threshed out
it was decided that on account of
such exhorbitant wages this year
for farm labor, and the increased
price in wool and mutton, that the
sheepmen could afford to pay SIS
per ton. So SIS was decided on as
the price all hay in this section
would be sold at. All having hay
for sale, would list same with w. w.
Hayes, Sterling, or Thomas Black
burn, at Springfield, and they will
send all prospective buyers list,
who then could interview the farm
ers themselves.
