Boost the other fellows game. In
other words, don't assume the atti-
tude Of throwing cold water upon
propositions, simply because you can
see no direct gain for yourself in their
success. Take an interest in the well
fare of your neighbors. When you
give the stranger the glad hand, make
him feel that your welcome is sincere.
A friendly spirit is often appreciated
by the newcomer far more than the
holding out of possibilities Of making
money. But don't reserve all of your
cordially and helpfulness for the
stranger. When you extend aid and
encouragement to those with whom
you come in contact, you help to de.
velop that spirit of mutual helpfulness
that is of Unreasonable benefit to the
community, as well as the individual.

of $14,770,500 is expected.
All reductions in the house meas

will be no objection to them. Those
accepted were:

mend that food survey appropriation
be reduced from $3.500,00O to $2,,552,-

from 100000 to $796,2O0.
Persons employed in carrying out
the work provided for in the bill
would be liable to military service

resentative Mckenzie Of Illinois and
adopted. The proposal followed
charges by republicans that unless
1t were specified that such work
could not be regarded as a cause for
exemption the bill would furnish 1900
new positions In which democrats
could make themselves secure from

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Regular bust

sidering it's many hindrances, with
retail trade in some sections respond
ing to improved weather and grain
prospects are more promising. Yet
the period of low temperatures was
too prolonged to make best results in
spring distribution possible and the
accumulations of merchandise reflect
to some extent the influence of the
extreme prices.
While there is still full employ
ment of labor and wage advances
have continued, the tendency toward

foodstuffs, but also in dry goods and
footwear. The lessened buying of me-
cessities, however, has not yet low
cred costs perceptibly, and in many
primary channels the large expendi-
lures for military supplies act as a
sustaining factor.
Pressure on most of the leading
industries has increased rather than
slackened, though in some quarters
ordinary demands are held in abey-
ance pending more definite knowl
edge as to the requirements of the
government. With strikes of minor
importance in certain branches and
