Revival of Business.

There is widespread propaganda
in the direction of general business re-
vival.
The best evidence of the probability
of such revival lies in the fact of re-
duced discount rates by various
gonal reserve banks.
It was by lowering the rate Of dis
count and making credit easier tnan
had ever before been known in the
history of the country, that the re-
serve banks brought about a five year
period of rising prices.
The rising prices We're mainly the
result Of cheapening of money, which
cheapening was the direct result OF
chcapening Of credit. Cheap money
brought wild orgie Of speculation and
also a general decentralization of labor.
It was because of the late demorali-
zation mainly that the governors OF the
Federal Reserve bank were finally
brought To call Il halt.
How the halt was effected is now
pretty familiar story. The Federal re-
serve banks began calling loans and
raising the discount rates. The calling
of loans contracted the circulation, and
contraction of the circulation throttled
business.
The contracting machinery had been
in operation for nearly six months be-
fore the people generally began to feel
it's effects; but from thence onward
business activity subsidcd like the
speed of a passenger train under full
pressure of the brakes.
In little more than q year commodl-
ty values have declined close to IS per
cent. and measured in dollars and cents
the wealth Of the country is many hil-
lion dollars less than it was year ago.
IF the announced reductions in dis
count rates are in good faith, the
country may look for q steady revival
in business from now on. 1t is not
probable that the situation VIII be al
lowed to get out of hand so badly as
before; but still it will be allowed to
improve very materially.
The whole situation: is in the COM
pIctc control Of the Federal reserve
system and the Federal reserve Sys-
TEN can do with business as ii WILL

It is announced from washington
that there will be no public building
bill at the present session, and York
willie which has been waiting and
waiting. will continue to wait for quite
while yet, .,,.
Mr.. r. D. Galbraith Of Sp1r.anburs
desires that the subscription Of S25 to
the cemetery fence fund credited to
himself and wife, be credited to "R' u.
and F. NJ. Galbraith" instead. The SUD-
scription has been paid.
The cool weather is attributed to
spots on the sun, measured by George
II. Peters, solar expert at the NaVai
Observatory, Washington, as being ga
600 miles long by $1,000 miles wide.
These spots were visible to the naked
eve on Saturday. 1t Is believed posi-
ble that the cool weather may last Tor
several weeks.
There was serious interference with
electrical communication throughout
the country Saturday and SATURDAY
night in connection with an aurora
borealis display in the north. Trains
generally ran late during Saturday
and Saturday night because Of the un-
reliability of the telegraph wires. Sci
entists say tfdt. the trouble has some
connection with immense sun spots
that were nearest the earth at that
time, The theory is not generally ac-
cepted; but the scientists hold that II
has been established that the sun Spots
are always observable in connection
with similar interference with electric
communication! 7 Many daily papers
were short OIL geographic news Sunday

: Let the word go out that thieves are
operating against the:h6nlss or smoke

the whole people Of that neigtborhood
are on the alert to get them in jail. :
Take the United States over and sta
tistics will show that more people have
died from the bites of rats than have
died from the bites Of mad dogs, this
Notwithstanding the fact that rats are
not especially dangerous as biters.
Take York county over, counting eV-
cry home and every farm, and allowing
that the average rat destroys from fif-
teen to twenty dollars worth of food
and other property during the course
of a year, and it will be found that the
rats Of this county annually destroy
and make way with many times more
property than all the human burglars
and other kinds Of thieves.
The rats are busy all..the time day
and night and are molested only oc-
casionally.
Why cannot the people Of the county
realize the very great damage they are
constantly sustaining on account of the
ceaseless work Of the rats and make
such constant and effective war as
will stop this heavy and unnecessary
drain on their common resources.
