BUSINESS CONDITIONS

y The great value of an accurate
knowledge of present business condi-
tions is the fixing Of q standard 10.
measuring future action. All business
is carried on in anticipation OF de-
mand, Accurate knowledge Of the pr
sent contributes to the quality OF the
anticipatory decision whose influence
is felt throughout the entire complex
business structure.
In estimating business conditions
crops are of first Importance. FARM
ers are the great consumers as well
as the greatest producers. Their con-
dition affects industry and transpor-
tation, and, Of course, capital and Ia
Dor. The country looks to crop con-
ditions for q first sign of business re-
vival.
Crop conditions are now good
enough to warrant an anticipation OF
reasonable business activity. Other
factors influencing the degree OF this
activity are conditions in foreign
lands and government policies at
home. Indefinite government policies
increase uncertainty. Transportation.
taxation. tariff, and fear of more and
different interference by government,
have all had an adverse influence or
business, according to the hundreds
of business men who contributed tn
material for this review. They are al
vigorous in expressing the belief thar
"less government in business" would
be more helpful than anything else
Transportation is the problem o.
greatest moment in the minds of the
contributors. The railroads are ef
ficient-but business is slack. Freigh'
rates are much too high in comnar'
son with commodity prices and have
hardly shown signs of yielding to
downward tendency A cement manu-
facturer illustrates by showing that
the price of cement is So per cent
higher than in 1918 and the cost o
transporting it has advanced ll3 per
cent.
at is not the single freight rate
but the cumulative effect that creates
the damage" says manufactures of
farm machinery, who illustrates by
showing that steel mill must buy
and transport six tons of raw
terial to produce one tone of finishc'
product. The farm implement maker
must buy and transport three tons
of raw material oget one ton Of
finished product. The cumulative
freight rate is that on IS tons of raw
material before one ton of finished
product can be shipped to the farm
err. The increases in freight, owe
1914. on a gang pillow that sold tho
for $40 between Chicago and Mis-
souri, river points, is slS.75. The IL
crease-not the entire freight-or
the farmers corn with which he may
pay for the pillow, between the same
points, is $40. The total increase is 40
per cent of the 1914 selling price.
This condition, it is argued. makes
the price of labor in steel mill or I'M
plement factory, of little momen!
but railroad mems wages are O.
great Importance. The writer cor

ernment undo the laws that hoy
brought these conditions, than to try
to do something else to herp bust

Vein of Coal.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. lO.-News
has just reached here Of most re-
markable find near the little town
Of Helenwood, in Scott County. A
man, or a woman, or an image, idol
or petrified Indian chieftain, has been
unearthed about three miles east OF
Helenwood by prospectors looking for
coal. The keene- Stlrnk Coal COM
pany had men working in All old cave
looking for a vein Of coal, and while
so engaged they found buried in the
earth and petrified . giant some Z
feet i inches tall.
1t had imbedded in its one-tjr-
flesh about its neck beautiful chain,
which appeared to have been tied in
front. It's eyes were about half
closed. It's fingers were perfect in
every respect, with long, tapering
nails. It's hands were folded across
its breast. On either side of its head
were two horns, each about four
inches in length. It's weight was
about $50 pounds.
The miners removed it from the
earth and carried it to Helenwood
where it was cleaned up and placed
on exhibition. 1t is there now. an"
is being visited by thousands of peo-
pie. The owners of this remarkable
find were not long: in sensing the
commercial possibilities Of the thing
and are charging % cents each for
look at it. 1t is said that they have
realized more than $500 on it during

says Mr.. Stilwell "NIoses was 100
years old when he died. His eyes were
not dimmed nor had his materia

were $50. Rehoboam was 40 when
he began to reign and reigned for II

the Patriarchs according to Mr.. Still
well is that he believes three score
years and ten to be the allotted span
of life. "This belief has done more
to shorten life than all the wars ar

is broken by few, as it will be, life
