Hopeful Aspects IN Business
More Freely Enphasized

NEW YORK, Nov. G.-Duns today
says:
While the hopeful aspects in bus
mess are being rather more freely en-
phasized with strengthening of conf
dence in certain quarters. general con-
ditions have not changed essentially.
A belated turn to moro seasonable
weather in some sections of the coUn-
try has given moderate stimulus to Il
retarding and restricted movement at
retail, and holiday requirements may
be expected TO later bring at least a
temporary revival OF consumers buy
ing. The underlying situation in pri-
mary channels, however, is still char
acterized by the phases which have
recently become familiar and which

Department that the price of hogs
here was too low and that an advance
would be forced, was confirmed dur
ing the Friday trade when carload
lots were moved at $14.5O, an advance
OF 25 cents above the recent top.
There has been apparently not the
slightest excusse for the previous low
price here aside from the hope OF
packers to grab greater profits. They
have not reduced the price of their
commodities at all to conform to the
lowered price of hogs, therefore, the
advance in live hogs should have no

GOOD BUSINESS
 TO HOLD YOUR
 LIBERTY BONDS

Not only is it the patriotic duty of everyone who purchased Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes during the var to hold them but it is sound bus mess judgment also in view of the prevailing low prices for the bonds and notes in the stock market, ac- cording to John R. Macomber, presf- dent of the Boston Chamber of Com merce and president of Harris, Forbes & Company the we'll known bond house Certain market conditions have depressed the current selling price of the bon6iS--jb11t MT. MlacoGn- Der takes pains to point out that no one with good sense can question that the United States reaSurTy will pay the bonds in full at their par value of 100 cents on the dollar when they ma ture or that the Government will take care of the interest coupons as they fall due So long as the United States exists as a nation it will make good on all o fits debts Such being tn he case, tse sale of the bonds at several doIlare below par is most unwdse. The United States Gov 5rnment gave it's notes, some in the form of bonds, i and in effect placed a mortgage on it's entire property to guarantee the pay certain period of years. The holders
 
 could not expect the Government to pay them on demand before the time for maturity as specified on the se- l curities. But they knew that the bonds were t-1iquid'' in that they could be traded in on the Stock Exchange % thousands of them threw the se- curities into the market, instead of holding them as they Should. The. effect was to swamp the market and deprecfate the prices. So far as the owner of one of the bonds goes he was and is not in the least effected, provided he holds his bonds. He will continue to receive interest reg. ularly on the coupons and in due time may collect his principal. Thus his financial interest and his patriotic duty run along together If he keeps his implied agreement with the United States Treasury, then the Treasury will see that he loses not one dollar.

MESSAGES FROM MARS?

The worlds greatest authority in wireless te1egrapny, Marconi, believes that radio messages have been receiv- cd from the planet Mars The an nouncement has set scientists in many countries discussing the possibility of wireless messages being sent from one planet to another It seems to be agreed that the ether or whatever it is called which lies between the heav- en1y bodies is capable of transmitting wireless waves, so that it is scien- ffficaIfy possible to send such mess ages even from Mars to the earth Some scientists believe that the nys- terious signals received by Marconi were caused by tricks of our own at 1nosphere Nevertheless Marconi and many others believe that we are at the openiNS of a marvellous new era of long distance communication with neighboring planets.

 The vast universe of suns and planets could hardly have been made for the sole use of the race inhabit- ing that relatively small body called the Earth. And if there is inteln- gence elsewhere in the starry heav- ems, it would seem probable that means of communication would even- tua1y be established.

FOUR BILLION DOLLARS

There comes time, we fear,
when good business is not so good
as it may seem.
During the past fiscal year we
sent to other countries four billion
dollars worth of goods more than
we received from abroad.
That is our balance of trade, and
it is called good business.
But is iti =. 80.
While We may Be sending these
enormous stocks abrond a scarcity
was being created in this country.
So long as an article is plentiful
it can generally be purchased for q
reasonable amount, but the moment
it begins to become scarce, up goes
the price.
That is what happened.
Not enough foodstuffs and other
articles were left in our own coun-
try for our own use, and We are pay
ing for il today with the widest and
most assinine era of profiteering
the world has ever known.
And the exporting ''interests"
have the monumental nerve to tell
us it is caused by underproduction.

Gently resigned his position and he
and family left Holyoke Saturday
for Arizona where he hopes that the
climate may prove beneficial to his

During his residence and church
work in Holyoke, he has made many
friends in our town as was evidenc-
ed by the fact that, before leaving
the business men Of the town pre-
sented him with good sized gift
in cash. He had in addition to
his church work been doing good
work as Scout Master of the Boy
Scouts. The boys had become
much attached to him and regrett-
