OOlLARS-AND SENSE!
Think It Over

Dollars are not made out OF India
rubber and yet they can be stretched
And right now is the open season
for stretching.
Have you stopped to consider that
three or five years from now. or per
haps sooner, the dollar which now
seems to have hole in 1t as large as
that OF doughnut may once more be
the solid. powerful piece of money that
1t was before the mighty armies in
Europe rocked the world?
There always has been a period Of
artifcially high prices following each
big war. In this country. 1t was several
years before normal conditions were
restored after the Civil War but condi.
tons ultimately did adjust themselves
and few years after the Civil War
there was a big difference ~ to the
buying value of money.
With these facts In mind--to say
nothing OF the multiplicity OF other
arguments In its favor-is not the su-
preme period OF saving at hand? n,
by making wise investments and curb.
ing reckless spending. you can keep
the present discounted dollar until the
clouds have rolled away, 1t Is readily
seen that It will be a move in the
right direction.
The government IL doing its best TO
awaken the public to a realization Of
these facts and presents an opportu-
nifty along these lines by the sale OF
thrift stamps. war savings certificates

CARTER GLASS SENDS LETTER

October 3 has been designated by
the government rs National Thrift
Registration Day" In the schools of

Glass. Secretary Of the Treasury, has
written letter to the school children
OF America. This letter will be widely

ITO the school boys and school girls
Of America: In addressing the TO-
100000 or more school boys and girls
OF this country, | am addressing the
cAtizenship--the business and profess
sional men and women. the producers
and consumers and the homemakers
of only few years hence The re-
sponsibility Of all the problems Of our
country will ultimately fall upon you.
The spirit Of patriotism and helpful
ness which you displayed during tho
world war has proved your fitness for
your future responsibility. Your rec
ord In production of needed materials
during the war, your saving Of food
and money, and your investment in
government securities is a record OF
which every American citizen IL justly
proud.
Places Burden on Pupils.
1T is the earnest desire OF your
government that you should continue
to practice and make permanent those
same habits of industry and economy
that through your influence and ex-
ample America may soon become Q
nation OF savers and cease to be q
wasteful nation; that this may be q
nation OF people who always save some
part OF their earnings. who spend
money with greatest care and who
invest what they save in some safe
place. am glad to see that our school
boys and girls have continued during
the vacation months to save their
money and are buying Thrift and War
Savings stamps. thus laying aside q
portion Of the money they earn for
some future purpose. and while they
are continuing to render some service
to their government. they are at the
same time providing for their own
needs.
Happy and lntsrsstIno Habit.
1.-The habit of earning and saving
money Is most interesting and happy
one. / am sure that this habit has
become so fascinating to you that you
will continue to earn and save through
all the months and years to come and
keep investing what you rave IN GOV;
eminent securities.
1T Is my personal hope that the los.
sons Of thrift that are being taught
In the schools may help you to develop
in your life permanent habits Of saw
ing and thereby lay a foundation for
your personal happiness and useful
ness and ultimately for . bigger and
better America"

CROP CONDITIONS BETTER.

Crop conditions over most of the
state are good, despite the frost and
drouth which damaged crops in many
sections. Over most of the state the
rainfall was ample, but in some cen
trail counties the ground was too dry
for satisfactory blowing and planting
Showers came, however, just at the
close of the week. Temperature con-
ditions were quite favorable. The
effect of the frosts of the preceding
week was variable over the state, but
on the whole, it seems that no great
damage resulted. Corn and potatoes
that were frost-bitten are coming out
satisfactorily. Peaches and apples
were killed in many localities, but
probably the general outlook is for
fair crops. Strawberries were dam
aged considerably In places, DuC the
present condition seems fair to good
They are being marketed from the
western area and are ripening in the
east. Corn and cotton planting con
tinued during the week, with gooC
progress. Much corn is up and doing
well, the most advanced having beer
plowed the first time. Some cottor
is coming up to good stands, but con
siderable cotton land is not yet plant
ed. Wheat made excellent progress
except in the dry spots. 1t is heading
in many fields. Tobacco plants grew
well and transplanting was begun.

THE SIMEON IN THE DESERT

Dark on the horizon lies growing
cloud, the sun is blood red, the air
hot to suffocation, the camels ner-
vous, the traveller strangely alarmed.
The Sheik suddenly commands halt.
The camels kneel, the travellers dis
mount, tents are hurriedly pitched,
or if the storm has already come, all
huddle together, men wrapped in
their nantes, camcls with heads in
the sand, until the fury of the wind
has spent itself. When the storm is
gone each man and camel is the CEN

blown away and the traveller, won
dering that he is still alive, often
seeks relief for parched lips and burn
ing thirst, in the cool promise of the
tickle mirage. The terror of the des-
ert has passed. Sometimes the trav-
eler remains the center of his mound
of sand, killed and buried by single
agency, the great sand storm of the
desert, the Simeon.
Although distinctly desert storm,
the Simeon sometimes invades the
valley of the Nile, being felt even in
Cairo. 1t also travels across the Med
iterranean and the Italians call the
dust-ladcn storm with the hot breath,
Sirocco.
The deserts of Arabia and the des-
erts and plains of America also know
their sand storms, which waylay the
helpless traveller, fill his lungs with
hot suffocating dust and make water
a priceless boon, in seeking which he
often loses the trail. Sometimes the

buffeted by the singing sand, is al

The Markets
The Presidents Message

The stock market began yesterday
with an irregular movement and, though
the Presidents message appeared at
noon with several unexpectedly favor
able recommendation in it, there was
no display Of strength until the end of
the session. Previous to that there
had been some weakness and at the end
of the day the net advance Of railroad
stocks was not sufficient to offset their
decline on Monday The advance in
industrial shares was also smaller
than yesterdays reaction. The sharp
advances were mainly confined to the
oil shares, which had nothing to do
with the Presidents message. The
Presidents statement that "the rail
roads will be handed over to their
owners at the end of the calendar
year" was favorably interpreted. 1t
was the first official announcement of
q definite date for return; it definitely
disposed both of the threat to turn the
roads back Immediately and of the
five-year government operation pro-
posal sanctioned by Director Generals
McAdoo and Hines, and the interval
was considered adequate time for we'll
considered legislation.

Bush Terminal Co.'s 1913
Report Shows Smaller Surplus

Gross earnings of the Bush Terminal
Company for the year ended December
81 last, aggregated $2,131 ,571, compared
with S2,157,210 for 1917, a decrease of
S25,639. Operating expenses were
S499,O69, leaving net earnings from
operation of 81 $685. an increase of
$22, 2,110. To this amount other income
totalling $240,067 was added, bringing
the total to s1,872,569. After interest,
taxes, etc, balance of $782,849 was
equivalent to SLIP share earned
after the deduction of $13S,OO0 in pre-
tered dividend payments. Holders of
the common stock received S285,958 in
dividends, leaving a S358,891 surplus
for the year.
Irving T. Bush, president, in his
report to the stockholders said: "There
need be no fear that income will shrink
because war earnings decrease. The
company has not made any profit out
of the war but has suffered material
loss. A return to normal conditions
will not decrease earnings but will ulti-
mately reduce operating expenses. 1t
seems probable that the general in
come condition will not materially
change during 1919. but during 1920
there will be substantial increase
due to earnings from the international
Sales Building, and other new depart
mentS."

Technical Conditions Count

While we have been very bullish on
stocks for some time, we must concede
that technical situations count for
something and at times the market
must take rest.-Block, Mdloney e Co.
We can see nothing more unfavor-
able in the railroad situation than the
present status. We can see many ia
vorable features in the possible devel-
opments Of the next few months, which
will materially improve the operating
and financial situation of the railroads
and which will restore confidence in
railway securities.
The roads will emerge with the old
evil Of partial regulation eliminated
and will retain the advantages which
have been demonstrated through wal
operation and which railroad manage
ments have for years been prevented
from putting into effect.-Knouth
