The Republic

In order to give every one an oppor-

the Republic theatre has arranged for

show for that date.
The comedy situations and humor-

FUTURE BUSINESS
OUTLOOK is GOOD
Big Industries Have Little Fear
Of REIMBURSEMENT Period,
Says Federal Board
LABOR SCARCITY is OVER


Confidence that the nation will go
through the readjustment period with
out serious difficulty is expressed by
the monthly review of the Federal Re-
serve Board, which reflects the OBJ
seryations of he Boards trained
agents in all parts of the country
The extreme scarcity of labor has
been relieved by the lessening activity
of munition and other strictly war
work plants and by demobiliza ion of
the armed forces, the report states.
adding that the general level of prices
had begun to decline slightly even
before the armistice was signed. Ma
terials now will flow freely to peace
time industries in the opinion of the
Reserve Boards agents, credit will be
released gradually for limited devel-
opmen projects and the country's
business will soon find itself actively
engaged.
I'm some Districts says the review,
1T is already reported that cancella-
ton of Government contracts has al
tered the commercial aspect very pro-
foundry. besides influencing for the
worse the ability of concerns with
high-cost inventories to pay taxes. On
the other hand adjustment of labor,
in way that will restore the en-
ployees in munitions and other war
plants in their old lines of industry, is
regarded as essential, and will be
problem of the immediate future.
Whether it will be practicable to take
all of the floating supply of labor off
the market as fast as it appears is
now admitted to be a serious ques-
ton. On the other hand, the opening
of new channels of civilian demand
and the release of staple materials
such as wool, cotton. rubber and
others. is believed likely 70 re-estab-
lish old marketing methods almost
without delay
The readjustment period is expect
ed to be short, is the opinion of some
districts. 1t is, however, reported
from important sections. largely those
engaged in agricultural occupations,
that compare lively little readjust-
ment will be necessary, and that am
pie outlet for everything that can be
produced is already seen.
THE banks of the country are adj
mitted to be in position which calls
for careful and far-sigh ed handling
in order that their resources may not
be too rapidly absorbed in connec-
with purely developmental work;
while, on the other hand, it is adj
mitted that hey are now in a position
which calls for very conservative
treatment. in order gradually to re-
duce the loans on war paper which
have been piling up in the process of
placing the various Liberty loans.
THE future is regarded wi h gen.
eral confidence and but little pessi-
mism of fear is evident"

handled in a mastery fashion by Mr..

The preacher was hte Rev. Dr. Per-
sons, of Baltimore. well known to An
months while acting MODERATOR of thhJ'
napolis, where he lived for several
months while acting Moderator of the
Presbyterian church when it was
without pastor. DR.. Persons said he
had dreamed dreams and seen Wis
ions for this church, and the dreams
had come true and the visions were
about to be realized He said he took
no credit to himself for the splendid
work the people of this congregation
had accomplished before the coming
and since. that of the new pastor with
whom they had co-operated in the up
building of the church, but he admon-
ished them there was work yet to be
done. He spoke of the broad field
here and the need for the new church
proposed at the morning session of
the Presbytery, and he encouraged the
project because of the young men in
the community who should have a
church in which they may feel proud
and to which they can refer with
honor when at every port, and in for
eign lands.
DR.. Persons took for his text, just
three words, II Never Have" These
were the words of Peter when told to
partake of the beasts and creeping
things let down from heaven in a
sheet. Peter said: II have never eaten
anything common or unclean."
The sermon was a most unusual
one, The preacher declared there
were some people who because they
never had done sonnet hing, nver would.
They believed in the beaten path
and were not willing to attempt the
untrodden. Things are not always
best because they are old 1t is not a
wise thing to say, II will not do
thing because / never have" Pro-
gression comes along the avenue of
the untried. 1t is unwise and unsafe
to say, Il never have, therefore,
never can"
The minister's sermon was master
full, and filled with local applications
that were forceful and struck home
The entire service was inspirational
and participated in by large congre-
cation.
