The lesson of the sIstersSille smallpox Epidemic,
which the STATE health authorities now believe they
have in hand, is that there are too many unvaeein'
ated people Where vaccination is general there
can be no sudden flare up Of smallpox. While the
town is in the hands Of the health authorities bust
ness will be at stand still and the experience is
going to prove quite expensive 1t always Is costly
for community to permit the ordinary health pre-
cautions to be neglected.

AUTHORITY SAYS
Business Recovery Seems
Indicated BY Weeks
Developments

view,

Financial Editor iron IaIue re
view.
Recovery in business waits on
three developments, They are:
Cheaper money; the completion OF
commodity price readJustment. and
the restoration of buyers conf
denoe.
Last week ushered in the frst Of
these requiremnts. For :hs first
| time in months commercial paper
rates are slightly lower. This
means that the dreaded autumn
credit strain IS beginning 70 dIssp
near ahead Of schedule.
Inaaled prices and teyerish trade
activity mopped up banking re-
sources. DeAation is releasing these
funds. Gardually they will account
ulate and become available as au
accelerator for business.
Declines Unchecked.
Price declines continue uncheck-
ed. Dun's commercial agency re-
ports that last week only seven
commodities advanced out Of 300,
against declines for 1853 Hides,
hoes, low grades OF wool, coffee. tea
and rubber, are among she COM
modities that have toucned pre-
war levels. The majority Of orices
are from re to 100 per cent above

Crop shrInkags.
wheat and corn have dropped
about $3.50 a bushel and cotton
about 90 cents pound since early
summer. The total value Of four
crops-wheat, corn, cotton and oats
lat current prices is IS, 800 ,600, 900.
This is $500, 900 900 less than the
same crops would have brought at
1919 prices.
FIoir at $3.50 a barrel is at pre-
war level. Bread is dropping as a
result. Eggs are the one exception
to the general trend Of food prices
Exports,
Low crop prices have attracted
foreign buying. October's total OF
exports was S759, 100000. a gain OF
s14f 900 900 over September. This
increase is partly due to larger
shipments ahead OF farm products:
High exports show that the world
must buy American goods.
Dakota Banks.
The sharp decline In crop prices
has resulted in the failure OF more
than one dozen small banks In
North Dakota and one or. two in
Illinois and Oklahoma, It is signifi-
cant that none OF the insolvent
banks was a member Of the federal
reBerTs system. The situation Is
not serious.

 M. l.

He declared that the defendant had knowingly given a worthless check in the belief that he would be immune from prosecution because in prosecuting the complain ing witness would lay himself open to charge of having committed a mis- demeanOr.
