For the first time since the entry
of the United States into the war there
is reported to be more workers than
work. This condition probably will
continue thruout the winter. But the
coming year gives promise of a period
of house building. road building and
railroad Improvement that will leave
no room for idleness on the part of
any oAe who wants to work. There
is much to be done and the doing can
hardly be longer delayed. Hesitation
up TO this time has been attributed
frequently to scarcity of labor. high
prices of material and difficulty in
obtaining money. All these conditions
are disappearing and next spring
should see an activity in building
which has not been equalled since
boom days.

A While this is in some degree a mat

lish golf professionals, who have just left
our shores after playing at so or more
courses, are quoted as saying that they
considered Columbia Country Club course

The approaching session of the
legislature probably will witness an
effort to abolish dealings In futures on
the grain market. Spectators are
blamed for the decline in the prices
of the farmers products. Rapacious
bears" it is charged, have pounded
values down beyond all reason, and if
boards of trade were abolished the
farmers would be getting much high
er prices for their output. But the
bear cannot sell more than he buys
and the ''bulp' does not buy more
than he sells. It is pointed out by
close observers of market fluctuations
that the greatest declines take place
in markets where there is no organ
lied speculation. Japan's crisis in silk,
1t is urged. would not have been half
so severe If there had been a strongly
organized system of future contract
trading such as exists in cotton and
grain in this country. Rubber, it is
pointed out, has declined far more
than American farm staples. The real
remedy for the farmers trouble lies
in marketing the product himself
Until he does this he will be subject to
the action of SPECTATORS

1t is estimated, says the Bankers
T:ust company. that Americans have
invested in Canada upwards of ST.
250, 100000 as against about one-fifth
of this amount in 1914. The sums
annually payable by Canada to our
citizens for interest, profits, freights
and insurance probably now total or
perhaps even exceed s75.000.00 a
year. For the period of the war and
since, these payments to the United
States have probably amounted to
around $4,000, 900. These figures
may account in some measure for the
gale of Canadian wheat in this coun-
try. The citizens of the dominion
rrust pay their debts somehow and
t-y may he short of cash.

garded as merchan dising?

CHARGED WITH THEFT

BY SPECIAL Correspondent.

winkler. of South River, was arrest
ed Thursday afternoon at his home
by Chief Of Police Ebberwein, of
South River, and Constable Fill
hover. of this place, on warrants
sworn against the man by Miss Lena

the evidence in both cases, was held
