that they should be unwilling to

whether the policy Of withholding
products from the market will re-

KILL GAME AS NEEDED;

There is one thing that most Of
us farmers have neglected in the
past few years and that is to look
after our birds, squirrels, etc.

rels on my farm, and I take partic-
ular pains to see that no hunters

No one should allow a man to

"Laborers feel the effects when
they are forced to accept wage re-
ductions or are thrown out of work
Manufacturers are bearing their
share of the burden through the
lessened demand for their goods,
the cancellation or orders and the
difficulty of securing loans.
"If production was to be cur
tailed as result of this pressure
upon manufacturers, the results
would be serious aud far-reaching.
industrial establishments realize
that stoppage or curteilment of
production would only serve to ac-
celerate the deHation of prices and
are therefore doing their utmost
to maintain production under the
present uafavorable conditions.

THE BUSINESS
OUTLOOK

Now that the election is over,
the most generally discussed sub
Ject with bankers, manufacturers,
merchants, farmers and stockmen
in fact with almost everyone-is
"When is business going to get
back to normsl?'
This country has been going on
mighty high speed in every way
for quite some time, every sane
person fully appreciated the fact
that day of readjustment must
come at one time or another, and
right now we are in The midet of
that period. A. most interesting

important subject Of business re-
Gently appeared in the National
Provisioner which we quote:
"Ihe general trend of business
conditions during the last two OF
three months seems to indicate that
reduction of prices and credit de-
fation will continue in even greater
volume during the months to come
"Prices of nearly all commodities
have been reduced materially, but
the public has not shown any great
desire to increase its purchasing
and as o result prices have contin-
ned their downward trend,
"Caucellations OF orders have
become numerous and buyers have
reduced their activities to small
proportions.
"Labor has been forced in many
places to accept wage reductions
aud producers Of raw materials
seem disposed to hold their pro.
ducts in the hope of checking til t
falling prices aud securing higher
prices for their products later.
There are q number Of reasons
for this situation Perhaps one OF
the most influential is the fact that
10 one is willing to accept the loss
that must inevitably come il the
process of credit defation. The
dealers have bought their stocks
at high prices and are unwilling tc

In Lithuania, when a bee stings

Thousands of barrels Of honey are ex-
