The Bad Spot in Industry.

The one bad spot in the Industrial
situation, SO reports from Washing
ton show, is the failure of agricul-
ture to recover. The plight of the
farmers does not grow better. This is
essentially a true bill. although con-
ditions have eased a bit since last
year, as shown by the reduction in
loans of country banks.
1t is a fact that the purchasing
power of the farmer, representing
nearly half of the purchasing power
of the country, is cut to pieces, and
the effect is felt everywhere. If the
farmer cannot buy, the manufacturer
cannot sell and he cannot give mon
work.

Chat
A New Club.

A number Of women in TIE city
are planning to start a club which
shall meet once every two weeks
to discuss the new books. Tho
members intend buying one new
book each at stated intervals and
after each woman has read the
book she will pass it on to the next
member in the club. In this way
these club members will have an
opportunity to read everything
which comes out which is worth as
similating, probably much that is
not worth reading more than once,
and will have a very lovely time in
the bargain, meeting and talking
about their books. The object OF
the club is mutual congeniality
among book loving persons and
economy where book buying is con-
cerned. Most If the new books
cost 81, some more and several ten
cents less. This makes a big item
in the expense account of the aver
age woman if she :eais all that is
published yearly that is worthy of
special mention. 1t is really ex-
travagance to buy every book
which attracts because many of
these are only fit for reading once.
Not that there is any thing particu.
larly Objectionable about them but
they serve more us pleasant past
times rather than as books which
we want to put away and read
again and again as time and in

Music saves many mediocre

A Heart to Heart Discussion.

I was shopping yesterday after
noon ant stood next to two moth
crs who were discussing their
young girls. One of them exclaim-
ed: my daughter came home
from school yesterday and here l
am buying wearing apparel again
for Helen and it hasn't been three
months since | sent her all she
needed. What do the girls away
at school do with their clothes
anyway"
"Why, don't you know" laughed
the second mother, greatly amused.
They have rummage sales and sell
everything they feel for the mo-
ment they can dispense with. Then
they trade clothing and the girl
with the easy nature gets the worst
Of the bargain. 1t seems to be a
lot of fun for the young people but
1t is rather di%scouraging for the
mothers"
WELL" announced the first moth
er, Il wonder what the girls, will do
anyway when they marry and go
away. If they draw a husband
with plenty of money It will help
some but II they don't life is going
to be one %inglorious jar and jangle
for them.
"You should worry" laughed the
second mother who had grown phil
%osophical about it, young people
will work out their problems some
how and very likely what they run
up against in the next stage Of the
game which is marriage, will tone
'em down and solemn them Up to
an interesting degree. When my
daughter was away at boarding
school she had a regular allowance
and a certain amount Of clothing.
No matter what happened I never
exceeded that amount. Is she chose
to sell her clothes or trade them
on for inferior stun, 'or lose them,
as she generally did, l said nothing.
Oh, | had to learn to submit and
ignore. At first l rebelled. But
after awhile you realize that young
people have their own ideas and
just will follow them out to some
sort Of q conclusion all their own.
They will learn in time"
There was a silence. "A clerk
lowered near waiting but the two
mothers had forgotten all about
their purchases. One OF them was
frankly little bothered over a past
problem but the other remained
puzzled and annoyed over some
thing still fresh in her mind.
