SLOW RETURN TO NORMAL.

During great military struggle
energies and resources are diverted
from constructive enterprise the sup
plying of consumption gooos, and the
building up of new capital. Immedi-
ately following the war there is the
feverish effort to catch up with the
demand. This means intense com
mercial activity. The immediate
needs having been supplied. there
comes a period Of pause, usually last
ing from half year to eighteen
months. At the end OF this pause
business does not go back to ante
bellum figures, but usually a new era
develops slowly"
Dr. Mac Elwcc said that the new era
upon which we arc entering requires
the closest possible study OF econo-
mic life and the causes and effects
that bring about the phenomena
which the country is experiencing.

ment was called out by a blaze we'll
under way in the carpenter shop of
Rudolph Suffer, the contractor and
builder in the old Iron clad block
near the City Hall. A fire is stated
to have been started in the stove
with shaving and light wood early
during the afternoon and is thought
to have been left improperly cared
for. The stove was an old one,
while the contents of the shop furn-
ished comhustible fuel for the blaze
when started. The frame of the
building still stands but the interior
is badly wrecked in fighting the fire
and no doubt will be rebuilt in the
spring. The property was purchased
by Mr.. Suffer from the county lately
under a tax title. He figures his
heaviest lost to be tools and other
machinery in the shop.
