Still with that bewildering air OF
triumph upon him. Mr.. Tunsiity pro-
ceeds to arraign Senator Penrose, who
is a republican. for making a republican
speech to other republicans. He quotes
an discriminating. passage beginning. Il

the United states. successful when ever
| II can be successful" &s. He quotes
pa ssages from other republican speech
es, all of which convey to the ordinary
| mind the impression that these repwb-
licans would like to see the republican
party win. No doubt they convey the
| same impression to Mr. Tumulty's
mind: but that mind is in such fervid
state that the expression Of this desire
on their part seems TO him to verge on
Copperheadism
What does Mr.. Tumulty want? The
tone of his letter almost suggests that
he believes II is near treason to in
vite any one to vote the republican
ticket The president is very busy
with more important things. but 1t
does seem az II ne could spare mo-
ment to put a little ice on his secre-
tary's fevered brow. or tame down
his anguish in some way. AS for Mr.
Hays, who was speaking in what he
supposed to be confidence and whose
remarks were not stenographically re
ported. there is version Of his speech
which represents him as saying moth
ing whatever about the president or
the democratic leaders in connection
with ending the war. but as saying
that "a certain socialistic coterie In
Washington" would like to end tn
war without hurting Germany too
much n ne said that ne understated
the truth: the coterie is not only in that
frame Of mind. but seems to be doing
all it can 70 bring it's wishes about. 1t

With each succeeding week, the
country is being placed more COM
pletely on war footing and the fact
becomes steadily clearer than the course
Of business is now shaped almost
wholly by the cMgencies Of the period,
While activities have been accele-
rated by. lower temperatures and a
NOV ement to encourage early holida'
buying, existing regulations and re-
strictio prevent a full measure Of re-
Spouse TO seasonal influences in reg
ular channels, and there is little pros
pect of any lessenng of the restraints
On ordinary operations. Not only have
the supplies available for strictly COM
mercal uses appreciably diminished in
many quarters, but a still greater de-
ple,ion is foreshadowed BY the enlarg-
ing demands from government sources
and it is a somewhat conspicuous fea.
true that certain classes of merchan-
disc are no longer appearing on the
markets.
Under the conditions, il is far from
strange that the volume of civilian
transactions does not attain the pre-
rious maximum, and that forwarding
purchasing is confined within mucn
closer limits. let the change has not
resulted entirely from Inadequate sup
plies or inability to have contracts ac-
cepted by leading manufacturers, for
consumption has plainly altered in
character with the induction of large
numbers of .mer into the military serv
ice, and there is a more noticeable ten
denCy toward economy in sections
where the crops have proved disap
poiuting.
The predominant sentiment in bust
ness circles reruains one Of conserva-
ton and caution, aitho war work is be-
ing prosecuted with great vikor and
noteworthy production records are be-
ing established. despite the shortage Of
labor. While il is expected that the
labor problem will be intensified by the
process Of the new draft evidence ac-
cumula1es that efforts s.ll be made TO

Do NOT DECLARE STOCK VALUE
IMallaces Farmer


After two years effort, Senator
Cunmins, of Iowa, succeeded in get
ting thru congress an amendment to
the interstate commerce law by the
terms Of which railroads are forbid
den to require shippers Of ordinary
live stock TO pay a freight rate ac-
cording to its value. OF to limit the
amount Of damages which the shipper
NAV recover ( he should suffer loss
thru the negligence Of the carrier The
Interstate Commerce Commission in
terpreted this amendment to the law
to mean that rates for TRANSPORTATION
may not be stated in the manner 10
require a representation Of value In
other words. the railroads have No
right to demand that the shipper OF a
car OF fat or feeding cattle or hogs
must state me value when making
the shipping contract The whole mat
ter has been .hreshed over thoroughly,
and settled so far as the law or the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
settle it.
Notwithstanding this, extra officious
railroad agents are still insisting that
shippers sign a contract and state the
value Of the stock shipped. and thus
appa rently release the railroad for any
damages in excess Of that value. Elk
perienced shippers are familiar with
their rights, and refuse to state the
value Of the stock. This is the policy
which all shippers should follow.

The insurance can be carried for five

Application must be made by the

The benefits of this insurance are so
