CLEANING CHORES

Whining OF Pessimists Only Serious
Menace Underlying Basic
Conditions lettering
Every Day

II the mental attitude OF our peo-
pie were as encouraging as the ma
terial conditions of our country we
would soon be on the road to pros
perity. Nothing is really seriously
the matter any longer except the
widespread habit of looking at every
thing pessimistically.
Prices and wages are approaching
final readjustment. The railroad con-
ditions have improved far beyond
general belief, and the roads may
confidently be expected to make a
fine showing FOR the second half OF
the year.
The reduction or the rediscount
rate has eased up the banking facil-
tiles generally, and frozen credits, =
are slowly thawing out for the bene-
fit of the business man.
The nuisance taxes are being lifted
off our shoulders and government
waste is being cut to the bone.
Huge stocks of low-priced mer-
chaRdise are attracting an army of
buyers to the big cities, and more
quick-selling merchandise has been
bought for the fall and winter trade
than ever before.
Even the stocks of gilt-edge securi-
ties are beginning to get low. due to
the purchases of professional opera
tors, who are reinvesting their pro-
fits from trading on present fluctua-
tions OF the stockmarket.
And as the safest foundation FOR
material prosperity. our new crops
both grain and cotton grown on low
cost basis are securing better prices
than expected.
We are not facing prosperity over
night. by any means. but the country
is quietly cleaning up it's chores and
getting ready for it. This is the
psychological moment for great
leader of national influence. Where
is he? Stocks and securities gener
ally take the upward swing some sis
months in advance OF the actual pros
perity start. Those who wait for the
starting-gun will not get their stocks
at the low-price levels that make in
vestments now made a sure sourc,

GRAIN CROPS BEHIND
PRICES ADVANCE

Tho hot weather in July and gem
eral scarcity of rain reduced the ex-
pected yield of wheat, corn and oats,
and advancing prices were the result
The July wheat decrease registered
$4,000, 900 bushels, says Sugarman's
Indicator. The preliminary winter
wheat estimated production was
placed at $4,000 900 bushels and OF
Spring wheat 100000 bushels.
Its condition 10 low at only 66.6 per
cent as against normal OF sos per
cent in the month of July. The con-
dition of corn for the month was
placed at 84.3 as compared with a
normal of Oil Yield of corn is es-
timated at 1902 100000 bushels.
The hot weather has played havoc
with the oat crop, its July estimated
yield being 545 as against 77.6 and
total estimated yield of 1,137,OOO,-
900 bushels. It is our belief that the
end is not yet in the advancing mar
kets for grain futures.
Lower Cost Of Living
Cost of living goind down! Be
tween June last and May, this year
there was a decrease of 1877 pei

COST OF COAL Differs
81 IN SAME DISTRICT
tBy Associated Press)

TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. "a differ
ence of more than one dollar ton
in the cost of producing coal in mines
located in the same district in south
eastern Kansas was reported by vari-
Gus companies in figures gathered by
the court of industrial relations,
judges of the court announced today
The figures in many cases. they
pointed out, show that the smaller
companies pay higher wages to min
ers, stand a greater marketing cost
and still show a margin of profit with
a total cost of production less than
$3.50 a tone, while reports by larger
operators show an average of smaller
wages, but put the cost of production
al s4 60 a ton and over.
Several large companies, Judge w
l.. Huggins said, declare loss IN
their figures with the cost of produc
ton at $3.50 for the coal.
This wide discrepancy can be
charged TO a number of reasons, said
Judge Higgins. but primarily | be
lieve the interruption of continuous
operation by groups of miners is re
sponsible for the losses sustained by
the larger compa nies."

ed many patients that carried guns
and defied the guards to take the fire

ran the place to the extent of fore

said, were supplied by parasites"
