l,--Of what species is the prairie
fox?
The prairie fox. the cross fox. and
the black or silver-gray fox seem
only varieties of the red fox. as the
black squirrel breeds from the gray.
and the black woodchuck is found
with the brown. There Is little to dis
tinguish them from the red, except
the oolor, tho theA prairie fox is said
to he the larger of the two.

To the scientist nature Is n store

Of images, fancies source of inspi-

SIGNS OF BETTER BUSINESS.

The signs of betterment in bust
ness, il outnumbered by the unsatis-
factory features, are becoming more
distinct. A change is seen in certain
primary textile branches, where the
movement is freer, and some buyers
in the leather trade are showing re-
newed interest.
Whether the indications of i'm
provement mark a definite turning
point in the lines affected is not
clear at the moment, but the symp-
toms are encoura ging. 1t is not to be
expected that revival will come sud-
denly, or in all quarters simultane-
ously. The economic readjustment
has been Irregular, having gone
farther in some directions than in
others, and the process Of recupera-
ton will probably be gradual and
checkered.i That a solid basis for re-
icovery exists is conviction
strengthened by the weeks crop es,
Inmates, disclosing unusually album
dant harvests, and the powerful
banking resources and better trans
portation facilities are important
constructive factors.
Even with its recent shrinkage, the
business of the country bulks large in
the aggregate, and prices are work
ing toward q basis where goods will
seem more attractive to consumers.
After liquidation has been completed,
and it apparently still has some dis
lance to go in retail channels, buy
ing may conceiyably develop to an
extent where orders will flow freely
again to producers, thus putting in
action machinery that is now idle.
When this demand appears, 1t will
not be, marked by repetition Of the
former extravaganza. because the
purchasing power has been lessened
by unemployment and wage reduc-
tons, and retrenchment is necessary.
The conditions, however, will be
more wholesome. What is now wit
messed Is the inevitable reaction from
the previous initiation. and the trans
ition is world wide. With all the adj
verse phases, many expressions OF
confidence in the future are heard
here as the year nears its ending.

prices and liquidate their loans;
others to local crop failures. But
there Is one fact which enters into all
the failures which has received no
attention. That Is the small capital
upon which scores of banks In that
state were organized years ago.
Among the early banking laws of
the state was one which authorized
the organization OF a state bank on
capital OF $4,000. Fifteen years ago,
when newspapers editorially pointed
to that law as banking danger, /.
protest went UP from the bankers
The system was working all right.
they said. and the small capital
enabled small communities to nave
banking facilities they otherwise
could not have. The truth was that
these banks were organizations
owned largely by spectators. Indi-
viduals- and combinations owned
strings OF them across the state.
What was known as the Beechor
syndicate once owned more than
hundred. The organizers would sub
scribe $4,000 capital stock. Our OF
IL they would build and equip a
banking house at cost OF $4,000 or
$4,000. The remainder of the $4,000
would be the reserve Of the bank.
Money from the larger banks inside
and outside the state would be pro-
cured to be loaned on farm mort
cages just as an individual agent
could secure money II he were good
placer OF loans. Farmers deposited
In l,o,
their checks against them. Tha, was
about the extent of their real banking
business. They were located in vii
lagos OF less than 100 population
often.
A few years ago. but before the
nonpartisans got control Of the state
government. the amount Of capiraI
stock WIS increased by law from
$4,000 to $4,000. But the banks or
ganized under the $4,000 law did not
have to increase their capital How
many OF the 5000 banks are involved
In the thirty or more which are
closed Is not known. But all OF them
are in that class OF the $4,000 class.
It does pot require a financial expert
to understand how shallow the foun-
dations OF the banking system Of n
state are when the banks are auth
orfzed to do business on the margins
allowed under the North Dakota law.
The nonpartisan league may have
scared outside capital away from the
state and prevented the state banks
from getting the money to tide them
over the period when collections
We're slow. as they have done many
times in the past. But fundamentally
the trouble is in the small amount of
capital stock on which the banks
were organized.

An Appeal to the American People

Three and one half million children
in eastern and central Europe have
no alternative to disaster between
now and next harvest except Ameri-
can aid. For months. because the
needy were so numerous and the
available funds SO limited. these most
helpless sufferers In the track of war
have been admitted to American
feeding stations only II tragically UNI
dernourished, and have received AM
erican medical aid only II desperately
threatened by death from disease.
Winter is closing down. The money
Of many nations is valueless outside
their own boundaries. Economic and
crop conditions, aggravated over con-
siderable areas by actual warfare last
summer, make famine. with its ter
rible train of diseases. a certain Wis
itor until next harvest. Inevitably the
helpless children will suffer most. No
child can grow to health and sanity
on the pitiful makeshifts for food
with which millions of European
adults must content themselves this
winter 1t is obvious that the remedy
can come only from outside.
America saved 100000 European
children winter before last. Normal
regeneration cut the need nearly In
half last year, but unusual conditions
have resulted in scant shrinkage Of
child restitution during the twelve
month Just past. The response Of
America must now decide whether

tragedy in history so sweeping or so
destructive Of those who can deserve
no evil.
The undersigned organizations,
working among every race and creed,
many engaged also In other forms OF
relief. agree unanimously that the
plight of these helpless children
should have complete priority in ov-
erseas charity until the situation Is
met. This is an issue without politics
and without religious lines. There
can be no danger of pauperization,
for the s23.000,000 for child food. and
the 100000 for medical service
that We seek. will relieve only the
critical cases. The medical supplies.
of course, must be an unqualified
gift, but for every American dollar
used in child feeding, the govern
ments and communities aided furnish
two dollars In the form OF transpor-
tation, rent, labor, clerical help, cash
contributions and such food supplies
as are locally obtainabie.
America, has not failed in the past
in great heartedness. She has never
had a more poignant call than this.

PANTS AND pA1lRNAlIsm.

Out on the far flung frontier Of our
territorial possessions q member Of
the Phlllppine senate has introduced
Dill making the wearing Of trousers
(Which we of the untamed middle
west know as pants) compulsory. He
argues that the lack of pants is an
evidence Of barbarism and proposes
to uplift the unbreeched Filipino nv
a law which would put a penalty of
five years Imprisonment upon those
who neglect or refuse to don the
forked habiliments of civilization and
culture. He would also furnish the
pants. 1t may be an oversight in the
senator's bill and it may have been
ON sober consideration that he fails
to differentiate between the sexes. r.
his bill goes the population Of that
island one and all shall wear trousers
either in or out of the pen.
The bill, mind you, calls for trous-
ers. Trousers are what the uncouth
and uncultured refer to as 'long
pants" They fall gracefully over the
shoe tops and conceal the human
form divine from the rude gaze of the
multitude.
Considering and concerning the
styles and customs of the country
which is at present acting as step
mother to the Philippines there is
something appealing and purposefuI
in the Manila senator's system. Fem
