Davenport Sept. 4.-In confession
te United States federal agents, Ray
mond Bischof& admitted he was a
deserter from the Canadian army and
also from the United States army. He
ako admitted he had never been a
member of the Princess Pat regiment

The report from Salt Lake states

ed and served six months. He was

proportionall; than the increase of
internal commerce.
The businesses of the United
States were prosperous in 1916. Bank
clearings increased 80 per cent.
Commercial failures decreased IS
per cent over 1915. The total value
of new interpretations in 1916 was
three and a half billions, or 70 per
cent more than the total value for
1915.
Railroad net earnings were greater
in 1916 than in 1915 by "a per cent.
The railroads are very dependable
index to national prosperity.
The real astounding figures for
business growth in 1916 are fur
nished by the manufacturing prof.
its of 81 of the greatest Industrial
corporations. These profits were 141
per cent greater in 1916 than in
1915. This manufacturing prosper
ity is we'll illustrated in the case of
the Iron and Steel industry which
"came through 1916 with record
of the greatest tonnage output of iron
and steel in history and with un-
filled tonnage on the books of the
steel companies greater than ever
There have been some signs recently
that the placing of new orders had
been checked temporarily but evil
IDENTIFY it was only a momentary lull
as the European nations have been
buying more shells, contracting for
railway locomotives and for rails and
the domestic demand is unabated"
These figures, showing the growth
of wealth and the enormous strides
in business development would be
immensely gratifying were it not
that they were offset by two serious
factors-the small increase in farm
products and the enormous increase
in prices.
The year 1916 has a bad record for
farm output. The number Of BUSH
els Of corn, wheat. oats. barley, rye,
buckwheat a..d potatoes was less in
1916 than it was in 1915, in the case
of wheat 36.7 per cent less. The
output of hay, tobacco. cotton, rice
and f1axseed increased. With the
exception OF the increase in rice
products (46.4 per cent? the in
creases are negligible, the decreases
serious.
The increase in the value Of farm
products is, however, enormous.
While the production of corn de-
creased Is per cent, the value OF the
crop increased 33 per cent. While
the production of potatoes decreasd
81 per cent, the value of the crop In
creased IS per cent. While the pro-
duction of wheat decreased 81 per
cent. the value of the crop increased
per cent. In other words the de-
created production has been more
than offset by increased prices
This fact is strikingly brought out
by a comparison between food prices
and wage incrcases-the last two
items published by "Commerce and
Finance" According to the Annalist
Index Number. during 1916 average
prices of twenty-five foods increased
1872 per cent, while the average
weekly wages of over five million fac
tory workers increased 1875 per cent.
THIS IS TRAGEDY!
The country is fairly swamped by
business prosperity. Railroads. man
ufacturing establishments, banks and
merchandising establishments are
pushed to capacity. Meanwhile the
wage of the worker purchases less
and less of the good things of life.
Figures are not always significant
but in this case they seem to snow
quite clearly that the boasted pros
perity of 1916 spelled economic trag-
ady for the great body of American
