BUSINESS LAST

UPWARD TREND

Scarcity Marx; Tone in
Trade Is Healthy

Washington, Dee. 29.-Novem-
ber business conditions represented
continuation of the.upward trend
in production, a greater employ
ment OF labor which in some To-
calities was reported nearing the
scarcity mark, and a generally
healthy tone In trade, according to
the monthly survey made public
today by the federal reserve board.
Contrary to the usual situation
at this time Of the year, the board
found production in basic indus
tries increasing, n condition that
has proceeded almost uninterrupt-
edly since July, 1921, when pro-
duction was lower than at any
time in recent years. The condi-
ton, the board believed, augured

Heavy Freight Movement
The increased production was
accompanied by n heavy freight
movement, car loadings for Noyem-
ber being reported only five per
cent below the high record in Oc-
tober, and substantially higher
than corresponding months in pre-
vious years.
Labor shortages were reported
in some localities, the review stat
ed. adding that the demand for
workers at most Industrial estab-
lishments seemed to be increasing,
The shortages We're found largely
among steel and textile mills and
building contractors, but there
We're said to be more surplus Of
common laborers in the eastern
section Of the nation.
The departments survey showed
that textile mills were about 20
per cent more active than last
year; the iron and steel industry
increased its output between GO
and 20 per cent; production of
non ferrous metals was so per
cent or more greater; petroleum
production was about Is per cent
greater; coke so per cent; paper
20 to 80 per cent; rubber 40 per
cent; motor vehicles SO per cent;
building construction 81 per cent;
lumber 50 per cent; brick so per
cent; cement Is per cent; leather
20 per cent: sugar 45 per cent and
meats about per cent.
The only declines Of outstanding
Importance were seven per cent in
bituminous coal and n per cent in
both OF which were due
to the strike and therefore we're
not regarded as indicative Of fun
damental fault in the economic
They were more than
offset, 1t was added, by the higher
level of production in all other
lines.
Wheat Crop Estimates
The final estimate of the wheat
crop showed it to have been about
Al. 100000 bushels, or five per
cent greater than last year.
Big crops of corn and oats
marked the year, each being larg-
err than IN the preceding season,
The corn crop was 17S,000.000
bushels greater and that of oats
about 1S7000,O00 bushels more
than 1921.
Cotton consumption rose nearly
IL per cent in the first eleven
months as compared with the cor
responding period last year. Prices
were higher by 12 per cent on the
average than a year ago while cot
ton cloths and yarns were 20 per
cent higher, the summary shows.
The wool manufacturing indus
try was about c5 per cent more
active IN 1922 than in 1921 as rep
resented by production, 1t was re-

Danny and little Miss Nanny Mea-

very much in love with each other.
Danny thought little Miss Nanny the
most beautiful Meadow Mouse in all

her? And hadn't he brought her the
very incest things to eat? What
more could she ask Of any one2 And
so they had a perfectly happy time

everything and everybody but them
selves.
Now, it never does to forget No.
sir, it never does to forget. Forget
ing is what brings most of the trouble
to the little people of the Green Mead
ows and the Green Forest. No mat
ter how busy or how happy they are
or how peaceful everything seems,
they must never, never forget TO
watch out for danger. But most OF
them are very much like little boys
and girls and some older people-they
do forget, particularly when they are
having a good time. Old Mr.. Trouble
always seems to be looking especially
for those who are having good time,
probably because he knows that that
is the time when they are most likely
to have forgotten and SO are not
watching out
That is the way it was with Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse. 1t was
so very beautiful and they were so
happy and having such a good time
that il didn't seem possible that dan

was. Something had put it into the
head of a certain gentleman in red
to go over to that part of the Green
Meadows where little Miss Nanny
made her home. 1t was Reddy Fox.
He had no particular business over
there. He was just out for walk.
But Reddy Fox never goes out for

The next evening brought Barry to
Denver and the three days which
followed carried with them the sweaty
smell Of the employment offices and
the gathering Of new crew. Then,
tired, anxious with an eagerness that
he never before had known, he turned
back to the hills.
With his rough faced men about
him, Houston reached Tabernacle, and
started the journey to the mill
Into the cannon and to the last
rise. Then a figure showed before
him, a gigantic form, running and
rlmbling through the underbrush at
one side of the road, a dog bounding
beside him. 1t was Batiste, excited,
red faced, his arms waving like wind
mills. his voice booming even from a
distance:

another flume: they were making a
connection with his own.
Whats this mean?p he demanded
angrily.
The foreman looked up caustically.
I've told you about ten times he
answered, addressing himself to Ba'-
tiste. Were building a connection
on our flume.''
Our flume?" Houston gasped the
words. Il own this flume and this
lake and this flume site"
IF your names Houston, ] guess
you do" came the answer. But if
you can read and write, you ought to
know that while you may own it, you
don't use it. That's our privilege from
now on, in cold black and white. AS

our flume, and our water, and our

The statement took Houston off his
feet for a moment; but recovery came
just as quickly, a recoil with the red
splotches of anger blazing before his
eyes the surge of hot blood sweeping
through his veins, the heat of conflict

A leap and he had struck the foreman
on the point of the chin, sending him
reeling backward, while the other men
rushed to his assistance.

The next morning Barry went to
Denver, and in a week returned to
Tabernacle, thence across country to
camp.
He found no Ba'tiste but there was
something else which held Houston's s
interest for a moment and which
stopped him, staring wonderingly into
the distance. A new skidway had
made its appearance on the side OF
the jutting mountain nearest the dam.
Logs were tumbling downward in
slow, but steady succession, to dis
appear, then to show themselves,
bobbing jerkily outward toward the
center of the lake. A thunderous
voice was booming belligerently from
the distance:
