War Stimulates Business

Jasper" in Leslies.
 The war has upset great many things. It is affecting the railways, the industries, the shops and the banks. But let it not be forgotten that the one great thing that makes for prosperity is business, and that every war stimulates business by the enor- nous demand it creates for commod : ities of all kinds. This demand always tends to higher prices and higher prices to higher profits and higher profits to speculation
 For this reason I have believed that we shall go through the same ex- perience that I recall we had during our civil war and during the Spanish war, namely. an imitation of currency and of business and higher prices for all securities that represent increasing business and increasing profits.

pose of creating this necessary fund
for club membership On paying in
the amount of the membership fes
the holder will be subject TO no furth-
er liability in the natter AT harvest
ing time each member will receive
his pro-rata share of the crop. which
would likely provide him with pota-
toes at a small fraction of the regular
market price The average produc-
ton OF potatoes is $4,000 pounds. or
six tons to tie acre a lot of splen-
did potato growing land in the noun
tain distli lets of the county has been
