MANY LACK WORK,
YET SAVINGS GROW,
REPORT DECLARES
Business Gains, Says Elk
pert, But Market Fails
To Take Surplus.

There are no illusions as to any
sudden return to prosperity, ac-
cording to the. monthly business re-
view by Archer Wall Douglas. chair
man of the Committee on Stats
tics and StandSrds of the U. =.
Chamber of Commerce.
Business is on the upgrade. but
not yet running on high" he de-
clares in the current number of The
Nations Business
In many of the large centers,
Douglas points out, there is the
curious paradox Of much unemploy-
ment. accompanied by growing saw
ings accounts. The explanation is
believed TO be that those who have
jobs are none too eertzir OF them,
and are casting anchars to wind
ward by spending less money.
1T Is one of the ironies of eco
nomics that the present business
stagnation arises largely from an
overabundance of wealth that can
not find n market. The copper in
dustry has so large a surplus above
ground for which there is no mar
ket that all the mines are closed"
Buying in the retail trade, IL Is
stated, Is better in the large cities
than in the country towns.

SAYS MILITARISTS
DOMINATE CHINA

Warfare in China during the past
four years has been a struggle be-
tween militarism and democracy,
according to a manifesto to the
powers issued by Sun Yat-sen, of
China, which seeks recognition for
his government.
Sun Yat-sen was inauguraeed
president in Canton. Ma 500. his
agent here, delivered the manifesto
to Secretary of State Hughes.
The struggle has not been a war
between North and South, accord
ing to Sun Yat-sen. but between
patriots and traitors.
The government at Pekin has
lost the last vestige of its control
over the provinces" said the mani
festo. Even those nominally within
It's jurisdiction. where the military
satraps are plundering the people
and running the country, it has even

FERTILIZER FOR PEACHES
Clemson Expert Gives Advice to.
Growers Of Fruit. =.

Clemson College, July 25.-With
the increasing attention given to
home and commercial orchards in
this state many inquiries are being
received by the horticulturists con-
cerning fertilizers for peaches, says
Prof. C. C. Newman, horticulturist,
who makes the following sugges-
tions.
If the trees are not Of bearing age
and are making growth Of IS to
"a inches when properly cultivated
very little fertilizer vii be needed.
On a bearing orchard, however, 800
to 1000 pounds of fertilizer per acre
should be applied during March or
early April. This may be scattered
broadcast around the trees after
blowing and before narrowing, or be
fore blowing, if the ground is to be
narrowed later. 1t is best, however,
to- mix the fertilizer thoroughly with
the first few inches of top soil.
On sandytloam soil the fertilizer
for peaches should be analyzed ab 'ut
per cent phosphoric acid, pei
cent nitrogen, and per cent potIsh
On fertile land with clayey subsol
the potash may be reduced to 2 per
cent.
It is easy to apply more fertilizer
than is necessary and thereby cause
the trees to make abnormal growth,
which will necessitate very heavy
pruning. For trees that are ripening
a crop of fruit has been killed by
frost, one-half the amount OF fertil.
izer recommended above should be
all that is necessary provided the
trees are properly cultivated through
the growing season. In other words,
it may be said that one-haH the fer
tilizer is required to ripen a crop Of
fruit and the other half to make suf-
ficient growth and strength for next
years crop.

Mr.. Haney Of the International Har-

in this issue that makes interesting
reading. The farmer is urged to get
his living off his farm, to grow as
nearly as possible all the things which
his family needs for the table. The
North Dakota farmer who makes
money year after year, is generally
the fellow who has something to sell
nearly every day Of the year--the
man who makes factory out Of the
farm. The farm garden is Won

of farmers who not only grow large

The Roosevelt Cabin, which stands
almost in ruins on the grounds of
the State Capitol at Bismarck, is not
fully appreciated by those who have
its keeping in their charge. There
are holes in the roof and the cabin
generally is in bad state Of repair.
This is the log hut where Teddy"
spent his early days as a COW boy
out at his Medora, N. D. ranch and
it has become historical. Tourists
passing thru Bismarck frequently
make detours to the Capitol grounds
to view the interesting abode of one
of our greatest Americans and they
have remarked on the lack Of atten-
tion paid to the building by the care
takers. The Independent suggests
that if the Roosevelt cabin is not
fully appreciated at Bismarck. it
might be moved to Minot and placed
in Riverside Park, which is soon to
be known as Roosevelt Park, where
it may be viewed by ten thousand
tourists year who travel over the
Roosevelt Highway.
