According to a business letter
sent out by one of the large city
banks of the northwest. business
conditions are in very fair shape as
compared with a year ago. In the
letter the statement is made that
business failures for the month of
April 1918 were 500 as compared
with $50 for March and 1888 for
the month of April a year ago.
This is the smallest April record in
eleven years. 1t goes on to say
that crop reports show an estimated
winter wheat production for this
wear of 573 million bushels. a gain
of Is million bushels over the con-
dition a month ago'a and an indicated
increase of 155 million bushels over
last years crop. 1t states that
never since crop conditions have
been generally reported has the out
look been better for the average
crop, than at this time.

Automobile accidents are usually
caused by careless driving. The
jay driver is a menace to everyone
on the road. The careful driver
will slow up when passing another
car or a team on a narrow stretch
of road, but the brainless driver
and there are lots of them-will
take all the road he dares and thun-

If he risked nothing but his own
life, it would be a matter of little
consequence, but when the lives Of
