This Country's Progress to Win
War, Secretary Says.
Things Already Done Are Such AZ %
Inspire Confidence in Final
Result.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary Of
Commerce Redfeli declares that
hmericas war progress in the last
SIX months means victory. 49,
Look at it either from military,
naval, financial CT legislative stand
point, and the things done are such
as to inspire us with confidence in
the final result" said Redfield.
I'VE were not ready for war in .
modern sense, but now our ships and
soldiers are on the other side. More
than million men are in our camps.
1--WE have poured out our billions.
Our men of science and industry are
pushing production in new lines and
the great conservative forces of labor
are doing fine and helpful part.
Congress Responds.
"The national legislature has
promptly reacted to the spirit and
purpose of the people. and the coun.
try, like an athlete, is rapidly fitting
itself for a contest it intends to win
and for winning which it pledges its
men, it's money and all the resources
which it has. We should remember,
also, that no inconsiderable part of
the many billions of dollars We are
raising will not be consumed in the
European confagration. Some of our
financial war contributions will be
invested in capital stock to promote
such huge conservative projects as
the upbuilding of our merchant ma.
rine, and the loans to the allies will
be repaid"

 STANDS HIGHEST
RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK CREDIT CLEARING HOUSE
 SHOWS ARKANSAS LEADS
 ALL SOUTHERN STATES.

gp iH New York City they have dis covered a new way of chasing credits, listing each state in accordance with the slowness of its merchants in meet ing their obligations. The Southern States run from 48. which is Arkan- sas, to North Carolina, which is 57. with Georgia runner=up at 56. The grand average of all states is 45, 50 Arkansas is not far below the aver age.
 The following is the standing of the states. according to an article appear ing in the Daily News Record. trade publication of New York:
 I new angie in aiding in the deter imitation of the credit risk has been furnished by The Credit Clearing House in the compilation by it's Re search department of chart Of the average percentage of slowness of pay ments in each state for the year end ing December q, 1916.
 These state averages are to be util- ized for comparison with the percent ages appearing on the individual re- ports. the idea being that q glance will determine whether the individual re- port is better or worse than the aver age percentage of the state in which the account is operating
 U is explained. for instance. that the merchant who is 50 per cent slow in Florida is doing better than the Ohio merchant showing the same percent age because the average slowness in Florida has been 5 per cent slow, while the average sIowness in Ohio has been but 10 per cent
 The irst chart on the state percent ages follows

 Because the people show an incIina- ton to buy is no reason why the mer- chant should let them have all they want. unless they have the cash to pay for it. 4 bad crop would render it q physical inpossibility for them to pay would mean the ruin of the merchant. and naturally the effect would be the same a1 the way back to the manufac- turer
 Exercise caution, both in buying and in selling. There is a general scarcity of all lines of merchandise. and because you have had grand year. there is no reason you should encourage the prosperity erazed con sumer to load himself up by your buy ing more than your trade actually de mauds.
 Caution never bankrupted anyone.
