INDUSTRIES KEEP Up.
! WITH GENERALIZATION

In its General Letter on trade con-
ditions Tor December the American
National bank says:
1t is remarkable after the years of
war which have torn Europe and the
months of war in which we have
ourselves been engaged that. In the
face OF a sudden cessation of HOSTILE
ties. business should 60 ahead as sub
stantially as 1t has during these days
following the signing of the armis-
tice.
In recent months both our exports
and imports have been large, larger
than a year ago. and indications point
to san heavier exports az well as to
increasing imports indicating a favor
able balance Of trade to this country
for months. at least.
The movement of gold for the year
to date has maintained an almost
even balance in spite OF the credits
extended during the year to European
countries.
Business failures have been excep-
tionally low and for last month we
had the smallest months record in
ten years time. II increasing busi-
ness failures would be avoided. much
more than the usual care must be
given to the extension Of credits. TO
borrowings. and to the enlargement
Of business. The time calls for all
Of the conservatism which we can
muster and put into practice. There
Is no place in the business world for
the plunger. and the man who stakes
his capital on the prospect of boom
times may be disappointed. Real
substantial prosperity is apparently
ahead of almost every essential bust
ness industry and investment in in
dustries which are non essential 10
the peace and prosperity OF our coun-
try should be avoided.
The labor question most. commonly
discussed has to do with the re-em-
ployment OF our soldiers as they are
demobiIized and returned to civil life.
This matter is not Of the greatest
importance for the reason that the
rehabilitation cannot well be more
rapid than the mobilization and IN
dustry will absorb these men with
less injury TO itself than was brought
about in the sudden calling of these
same men from their various occuDa-
lions. Numerous estimates have been
made by men competent to judge the
situation and the concensus of we'll
informed opinion seems to be that
more than so per cent and perhaps
IS per cent OF these men may return
to their former positions. If they so
desire. while probably a considerably
less number will wish to take up their
former occupations, These men have
been developed and broadened
through their recent experiences and
many of them are competent to step
into higher places In the business
world than they left behind them.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
SHOULD Be STARTED
McAdOO Says That Necessary
Building Should Not BE
Held Up During War.

Reports published in papers over
the entire country in which it was
reported that Secretary McAdoo had
said that building should be curtailed
for the duration of the war, is very
much misleading, according to por-
tions of letters from him to a COM
mite of builders and one to Samuel
Gompers.
Secretary McAdoo holds in these
letters that unnecessary building,
which may from time to time be done
for comfort simply, should not be
done for the duration of the war.
His letters in part that where it is
a question OF building a new home
SIMPLY because it would afford greater
ro-,fn,.t, IT, er~.,attvr -.-sts,oid ~. b
undertaken. Where it is question
Of need, be it on account of sanitary
conditions, or because, without such
new construction, other operations
essential at this time to relieve the
welfare of the people would suffer,
there is no doubt that the work should
be undertaken. This applies equally
to construction work in cities, towns
and in farming districts, he holds
He makes a plea that everyone weigh
conscientiously in his own mind the
necessity for the building proposed.
He says that if this is done there is
no doubt but what the proper course
will be pursued.
His letter states in part, -" | have
been reported in the public press as
having appealed to property owners
not to construct any homes or build
ings during the war This is entirely
erroneous | have said that building
operations which are not required to
protect health or to provide for the
comfortable needs of our people, or to
supply facilities necessary for the
proper conduct of business essential
to. the successful prosecution of the
war, hould be postponed"
This plainly indicates that where
need of homes are plain, or where
there is need for schools, a clear
need for municipal improvements, etc.
that the building should be done.

BUY THAT TRACTOR
Michigan Preparedness Board Urges
Farmers to Order Tractors Early.

The great shortage that there is
bound to be on the farms of the entire
country, ,>means that hundreds and
thousands Of tractors must be used in
the United States this year to keep
production up to normal This is one
place where it is seemingly up to the
farmer to come through with the
goods as food is needed and is going
to continue to be badly needed if the
war is TO be won.
1t means that farmers not only in
the west. but in Michigan, in Gratiot
county, must secure tractors for their
farm work The Michigan war pre-
paredness board is now urging that
Michigan and Gratiot county farmers
order their Ford tractors at once.
They are asked to file application with
the county farm agent or the Gratiot
war board. Application blanks for
tractors have been mailed these par
ties and those desiring tractors should
get their applications in at once.
Shipments of tractors will start April
/, and will be Shipped direct from
Detroit to a central distributing point
in this county.-adv.

GOOD SHOW
Benefit for Republic Athletic Associa-
ton Drew Good Houses.

The Republic Vaudville show given
at Wright opera house Monday and
Tuesday evenings of this week, for the
bneft Of the Republic Athletic Asso-
citation drew good house both nights.
and netted the association a neat sum
over all expenses.
Practically every number on the
long program was feature number
and made hit with the crowd which
witnessed the shows Peet Brothers,
IL. A. Bliss, +. j. Elliget, Count De-
Orlow, Brisson and Cunningham, Miss
Hall. X. j. Taylor, Master Sahmaltz,
and the Apollo quartette all contrib
uted heavily to the success of the en-
tertainment, which was put on in true
Republic style-which means the
moneys worth.
1t is very possible that the show
will be taken to St. Louis shortly and
it is certain to be equally we'll greeted
there.
