Looking Forward


 The war aGrOae4 SCtII svl.s tlie meas uTe of prosperity at home, and the i1regulauty of our stock. wheat and cotton markets in the last few weeks shows how sensitive We are to any prospect of q basic change in tne present struggle. Too many fine pre- dictioEs of so-called authorities hay2 gone by the board in the past two and half years to encourage any hard and fast forecasts, but q few general remarks may, however, ne naZarded. Present high prices If all products, the scarcity Of ships, the severity of the submarine campaign, the decision of the western allied governments not to place large quan- titles Of short time notes here, and the ability of the allies to produce much war material at home, would seem to indicate that our exports have about reached it's zenith. Then, too. the war. while profitable to many mas brought home. to this country IS a whole. through the medium Of fam inc prices, the fact that We are our selves paying no inconsiderable part Of the financial cost of tke struggle. How much further domestic con sumption can go before past. present and prospective high prices will auto
 
 if it does indeed do this, is a dsbat- able question. The crop failures of the past year would iu normal times have given trade a heavy setback. It was easy to preach but hard t. practice conservatism in the past year of high costs of foods. materials ani operation, as well as of deficient stocks alike of manufactured goods and of raw materials. If peace should lrrive within a reasonable time, Ii will find q good part of the coming years business as secure as any busi- ness can be that was placed at pres ent price levels. and with stocks of goods concedcdly small in all posi- tions. It seems certain. however, that peace will come much more gradually than did hostilities two and q half years ago, and in this case demands from Europe for materials for re- building and repair will help to take up the slack of -edAIced orders In others lines
 Another and much more doubtful feature is the question of the exten. to which European countries which have rracticed state socialistic or col lectivistic methods in the control not only of industry and trade. but even of public appetites and food supplies us military measures may seek to apply these methods to the struggle with us fer old or new markets To paraf l'rase the poet, it has seemed of latn that abroad. at least, where

Our gross imports of gold during the war have aggregated SLl0o. 900000, and the net imports SS3S. 900, while our eales Of mer- chandise for the like period were con- siderably over double our purchases. Hence the estimates that we bought back B 000. .000.000 Of American se- curities, and, in addition. became c-oditors for an additional g GOO, ,000,- 000 of foreign bonds or notes.

If the normal excess of bank transactions over clearings at leading cities, 2ls to l. be regarded as a guide, the country's total banking business in 1916 was easily $650 000, ,000,000 Stock .speculation was more active than for a decade, total sales at the New York Exchange aggresating 32,000,0Jo shares, gain of 30 per cent on 1915, five times what it was in the closed" year 1914 and only IS per cent less than in the record high year 1906. Bond sales aggregated SLIGO, ,000, a total showing a gain of 22 per cent over 1915, and second only to 1909, compared with which year transrc- tions fell off 12 per cent. Government bond sales. reflecting large foreign flotations, were eighteen times as ac- tive as in 1915. Money was easy until toward the close of the year, and collections were good, with many old accounts liquidated, especially in the south.

When the storm passed the hot

air in the shape of mist, and strong,
steady breeze carried US far to the
north. Off the coast of Newfound-
land we met colder weather and were
changed to fog, and carried far in
land, only to be gathered up by the
sun again.
We journeyed westward and at
last fell as snow on mountain side,
where we stayed until spring. The
warm sun released us and we ran
down the mountain side until we
came to small stream which car
ried us farther and farther south.
We soon joined large river which
carried US back to the gulf again,
making the journey complete round

stayed over night, starting out early
the next morning for Royal.
We followed the Northwestern rail-
road and the Elkhorn river almost all
the way till we got to Stewart Neb.
From there we left the railroad and
went northwest till we came to the
Niobrara river, across from earns,
Neb. There from high bluff we had
splendid view of the river. From
here we went south to Bassett, arriv-
ing about shutdown.
We had to go out of Our way on
account of the high waters of the Elk
horn, which had overlooked the low
lands and made the nearest road i'm
passable.
The soil is mostly fine white sand
in Rock county and they raise great
deal OF hay. We travelled for a good
many miles and saw nothing of con-
sequence except grass. The roads out
there are not on section lines like
they are here. They go by poles
painted different colors. We followed
what they call the Blue line.
The farther north we got the fewer
houses and cars we saw. | saw few
small fields of beans and little corn
with stalks about two or three feet
high. They say in some places where
the soil is kind of a black sand that
they raise real good corn and oats.
also saw my first ant hill. 1t was
about the size of gopher's hill and
was crawling mass of large black
ants. In one town the sand was so
deep that some of the cars got stuck
trying TO get in the garage.
We crossed the Elkhorn river a
