THE coUNTRYS cALMNESS

Fulfment of actual conditions tantamount to war with Germany and her allies is attended throughout this country by alarming which doubtless many people believed arise the result of Pres ident Wilson's action. These United States prac- tically unified sentiment that the president has right taken the only possible and this may account the continuity that fortunately pre- vails throughout the land
 There has come from quarter any expression of fear of the consequences severng diplomatic rea tions with The probability of Austria endors ing the murderous submarine program appre- hension. Industry has been stimulated instead of de- pressed taking the view that economic participation the United States in actual conflict will cali for even greater production than forth the time If the stock market be accepted barometer, it re veals rising prosperity. The experience of Japan un similar conditions is valued illustrating what confidently be expected here When Japan declared war with Germany, she debtor nation. Today. she is proud of her position the creditors side.
 The possibility that this country, in the event of declaration of war; will be called upon to send troops abroad dispatch any considerable number of war ships foreign waters is remote. This, also, may contribute to the absence of dread apprehension We believe, however that should occasion arise to augment the armies the naves of the Entente the response from this country would enthusiastic spirit and tremendous numbers.
 Time has been given for reflection the Pres idents action and the wonder grows that the Kaiser should have taken a which compelled the sever of diplomatic relations with this country That the United States has acted with the patience in the face of little short of international insult. is fact recognized by every neutral power therefore uni versaly recognized that righteous alone compelled by which indirectly at least to world established institutions the occasion for attitude toward Germany. There thus this nation the moral support of the entire world except that withheld by Germany and her allies.
 No wonder then that optimism reigns throughout the land that people view the future with unbounde confidence and buoyancy.

TRADE MARKED GOODS

There seems be one realm of business in which the harassed consumer isn't getting the worst of it. It's the field of trade marked goods
 In answer to onslaught from George w. Perkins, who declared that the of trade marked and adver
 sed brands of merchandise increased the cost of living that it better to buy provisions in bulk rather than in package the Fair Trade League has made public letters from forty of the counrys leading trade marked goods These products belong to many different branches of industry. Thiryone firms that they have prices all since the began, and others who have been obliged to raise their rates to the dealers have taken care the should not be passed to the consumer
 very of the case appears, the price sf trade marked article tends remain stationary. has advertised throughout the country and the public has become familiar with it's quality and price. Its popularity depends its maintaining that quality and price, Thus manufacturers in general though forced pay than formerly for almost all elements of cost entering into the manufacture their goods have decided to be content with smaller profits pro fits all instances, rather than sacrifice the good will they have built up.
 In illustration of this attitude it is explained that one packer of a well known brand of bacon has not ad- vanced the price trade marked packages, although the bacon gone up IA 1-2 cents to r 12 in the last years Baseballs, which have long sold the price of $ 25 have risen though the price of materials has greatly advanced big man of marked drugs has maintained his old prices in the of advances in materials of 200 to 800 per Branded dental goods have mostly re nained stationary in retail price, while the of mak ing them has prominent hosiery firm has not raised prices at a glove manufacturer says he has kept his product at the old price, though it is more profitable right to sell gloves without trade mark them"
 This is worth remembering. It is to the honor of American business that many firms have refused to join in the scramble for transient profits And doubt it's good business well good morals. Those who have kept faith with the public will profit in the end.

The President appeared un- announced at the offices of Secretary Daniels and after the conference drop ped in on Secretary Baker.
 With Secretary Daniels he talked over the amendments to the naval ap- propriation bill which the House is expected to pass tomorrow, empower ing the President Q take over ship building plants, munition works and other private agencies vital to the con stIuctiOn Of operation Of the navy in war times.
 There was no change in the situa- tion at the war department so far as surface indications went DemObiiiaz tion of national guards regiments home from border service mas not been in terrupted nor have orders gone out to speed up the return of other guard units.
 There are indications. however, that the question of just what steps would follow d declaration of war or a hostile act are being carefully weighed. ! The most probable course of the ad- ministration, in the view of many of ficials, would be to summon a vol unteer force of half million men and allow the decision as to passing to universal service system to await the response to that cali. The war de parment has at hand a study of the steps necessary Go organize such a volunteer army, made at the time the situation on the Mexican border was acute. No officer believes volunteer service will supply a force of the size the army general stan has re- pestedly declared adequate for de lense Of the country.

Once the wellworn library book has demon srated it's apparently germproof quality. bacteriolo gst of Johns Hopkins University recently examined 75 public library books which had been in circulation for years and 15O books in which dphheria had existed He found deadly germs of any kind in the books.
 That may be blow to the germ maniac, but it's l cheering thought the rest of the reading public Whether the dryness of the books made them immune whether there is chemical safeguard in the per- ink binding is known. It doesn't really make much difference to the reader He's relieved to know
 that he's not running any undue risks when he carries a particularly frayed and thumbed volume into his home
 This apparent immunity of books need not however, make careless and utterly indifferent the germ idea. We still heed the warnings and into pocket handkerchiefs instead of books The usual precautions against the spread disease through books-as well through clothing any other medium
