Business Conditions
Report for the Seventh Federal Reserve District by the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Chicago.

Since our last report the interna-
tional situation has undergone a
distinct change, many OF the uncer-
tainties heretofore in evidence have
been cleared up by the definite
action Of the administration. but as
the step was anticipated il caused
but little disarrangement in bust
ness circles. The sentiments ex-
pressed by our correspondents
through the district would indicate
firm support OF the presidents
position. and statistics Of enlistments

days ago showed the state of Illinois

are strongly intrenched, as is evi-
denced by their reports and the in
significant call for rediscount
facilities. Savings banks are expert
encing a quiet business, with new
deposits approximately equal 10 the
Withdrawals. There is, withou.
doubt, some boarding. but the call
for funds has not been insistent, nor
has it been limited to any particular
, nationality. Most of the withdraw
ais seem TO be made by the unedu-
Gated foreign element and the funds
50 withdrawn are frequently re-
turned within a short time.
The Offering of $4,000 treasury
certificates has been well received
by banks in this district and indi-
Gates that when the war loan is Of

ton of $1,000, 100000 United States

serious consideration of the banks
and bond houses in this distriC

lility OF radical shifting of reserves,

casional exceptions, when coarse un-
bleached linen is used. These excep-
tions are destined to become more
rare and cotton fabrics are the best
for them. The heavy ginghams, galatea
and border garden cloth, chambrays
and Scotch MADRAS linene and other
strong weaves repay best the work of
making them up.
A good model in linene is shown in
the picture. This is heavy cotton
that looks like unbleached linen.
Plaid gingham, in white and green, Is
used for a sailor collar and for belt
that goes twice about the body, also
for the cuffs. The belt buttons in

side with bone buttons. This allows
it to be spread fiat for ironing and
adds to its trim finish.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-06-09

Some women contrive to do their
own housework in neat housedresses
that bespeak them the mistresses of
their occupation. They never look
driven and overwhelmed by work, or
as if they were left with no time to
consider the matter of personal ap-
pearance. They look capable-as they
,rre-of meeting the obligations of life,
that are of all, most important, and
their housedresses tell their whole
some story.
The house dress, like the tailored
suit, is here-was here and is always
going to be here, like bread and but
ter. Its business is to be strong, con-
venient, plain and shapely and to
stand wear and tear with little change
of aspect. 1t must be put to the test
of the washtub and emerge therefrom
fresh and whole. Because it is plain
is no reason why it should be unattrac-
tive.
The house dress of today is made of
s,roug cotton fabrics with very Oc-

1t of service is maintained throughout
the organization.
A great work is to be done for the
American Red Cross. Its membership
must be brought up to the strength
required by the war and that is the
first business in hand. Individual men,
berships for one year, cost only one
dollar and two dollars win pay for a
years membership and subscription to
the Red Cross magazine, which is is
sued monthly. Nearly all communities
have chapter or other representation
of the Red Cross, but where there is
none, anyone may send in an applica-
ton for membership addressed to the
American Red Cross, Washington, d.
G. We must look to the Red Cross to
save the lives of wounded soldiers
and every American woman will want
to help, in this matter.
There are many activities in the
work of the Red Cross that are in the
hands of women. The making of hos
pital supplies, comfort kits and many
other things for the soldiers will keep
a big army of women busy for some
under the supervision committee on
hospital supplies and workers in each
community must be trained in order
to make and pack these supplies up
to the standards required by the U. S.
army. Hospitals, churches, schools,
clubs and organizations Of all kinds
are assisting in this work. Glasses for
instruction are being formed every
where. Pupils in these classes are be-
ing taught how to make 'bandages,
hospital garments and everything
needed, how to pack them in the right
way, and fitted to teach others to do
this work. Unemployed and especial
ly unmarried women, can give much
of their time to this work and every
woman will want to have some part in
it.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-06-09

There are some matter-of-f high
ly practical ways in which women can
manifest their patriotism. They are
not at all spectacular-jus plain, ev-
eryday, commonplace services-but
they leave no room for doubt as to the
sincerity that prompts them. First of
these Is the conservation of food for
future use. 1t appears that an abun-
dance of vegetables and fruits will be
grown this year and 1t is up to the
housewives to see to 1t that much
greater quantities are canned, dried
and otherwise preserved, than in nor
NAL times. Then, in case of shortage
In any quarter, there will be reserve

About the next most useful thing to
do is to gather up all old materials
that can be used to make surgical
dressing, and have them thoroughly
washed. These materials may be
shipped to the National Surgical Dress
ings Committee, at 300 Fifth avenue,
New York city. In old materials the
committee asks for linen and cotton,
blankets and spreads, sheets and pill
low cases, tableclothS and napkins,
towels and underclothing. This com
mittee is thoroughly organized for war
relief and is engaged in making va
riety of surgical dressings out of old
and new materials. Many cities and
towns have subcommittee who gather
and forward donations to headquar-
ters. Over 1000 hospitals are served
on the continent and over 100000
dressings have been shipped to them.
Women who have the leisure, may
organize subcommittee in communi-
ties that have none. The national

o LOSE YOUR HEAD

In every croud there is somebody
who Is ready to yell "firel" Then the
panic starts. When order is restored
everybody wonders why everybody
else lost his head.
When President Wilson issued his
war proclamation and called upon the
people Of the United States to con-
serve their resorces for the struggle
ahead, he did not mean that they
should stop spending money. He did
not mean that unless expenditures
should stop, but that was nothing
new. BUSINESS consists of buying and
selling. Certain kinds of BUSINESS are
selling. Certain kinds of business are
fundamental. The building business is
There need be no curtailment in
building or road constructing. Let
both public and private useful build
ings construction proceed. Production
and handling of building materials
and public construction work are
fundamental industries of the coun-
try. Any tendency to suspened or o
pone building projects is inconsistent
with maintaining our prosperity.
The country is prosperous. Building
investors should not hesitate to 90 a.
head with their plans. Railroads
should spare no effort to supply the
building industry with the cars needed
to transport materials. Government,
State, County and municipal athor-
tiles should the continuance of all
kinds of building. Road and street i'm
provement should go ahead partic-
ularly bad roads and streets are fact
ors of first Importance in the present
high cost of food stuffs. Never before
was the Importance so essential Of the
improvement of roads.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone, and other building
materials industries are basic. Neither
Government regulations nor railroad
restrictions should be imposed I'M
necessarily to interfere with them.
If any action is taken which results in
the p%rostration of SO fundamentally
important industries, there is a real
danger of a surplus of unemployed
labor, a surplus of railroad cars and
a Gripping of business that will seri-
ously embarrass the Government in
financing the war.

ARE PRICES HIGH?

At prices of a year ago, it would
have taken so bushels Of wheat to buy
a Liberty Bond; today inc can be pur-
chased for 25 bushels.
Last year a farmer could build a
silo for the price of 800 bushels of
corn; today he can build one for the
price Of 400 bushels.
Last year it cost a community the
price of 10000 bushels of wheat to
build a mile of permanent highways;
today a mile can be built for 5000
bushels.
Last year a farmer had to raise a
thousand bushels of wheat to buy the
tractor with which to till his field:
this year he can buy two tractors for
the same amount.
Was there ever a more favorable
time to build a silo, to buy a tractor,
an automobile or to build permanent
highways?
Now is the time TO exchange your
farm produce for these necessities.
By doing this, capital will be created
and placed in circulation. Prosperity
will be stimulated, labor kept employee,
at good wages. The dollar will b,
kept rolling and more of our citizens
enabled to perform their patriotic du
ty in buying Liberty Loan Bonds, a
they are issued.
Let US keep on making, selling
transportating and building.
