BUSINESS CONDITIONS SHOW
STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN
ALL SECTIONS AND
INDUSTRIES.


Reports to the Interstate Com
merce Commission show that for the
first time since November, 1920,
there are no surplus freight cars.
The demand for freight Transports
tion facilities exceeds the capacity
of the railroads.
The Post Office department reports
for the month of September an in
crease of 11.5 per cent in postal re-
ceipts in fifty selected cities as COM
pared with September, 1921. These
cities average 81 per cent of the
total postal receipts of the country
and are selected because they are
typical cities which taken together
reflect accurately conditions in In
dustrial, agricultural and business
communities.
The U. S. Department of Labor has
lust completed it's analysis for the
month of September. This analysis
is based on information gathered
from 355 principal industrial centers.
The report shows that there is in
creased employment in all but four
industrial groups. These four groups
are: Liquor and beverages, clay and
glass, metal and metal products other
than iron and steel, and vehicles for
land transportation.
The report shows that employment
has increased in all parts of the
country. In New England, the Mid
die Atlantic and the Middle Western
States there is a greater demand for
industrial workers than there is a
supply. In building trades there is a
shortage in the labor supply. In
fact, according to this report, there
is threatened labor shortage in all
parts of the country due to the fact
that more men are employed, Tor
longer hours per week, than at any
time since the war.
A report made by the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor's statistical Bureau
for the month of August covering AZ
different industries and 2300 separate
plants shows that in 80 of the 43 in
dustries there have been increases in
the number of employment and in 80
of the industries there was an in
crease in the total payrolls.
These conditions are very strlk-
ing contrast to those of March, 1921,
when 100000 men ordinarily en-
ployed were out of work and had
been for many months. 1t is also in
striking contrast with conditions
which prevailed in foreign nations.
Of all foreign nations England is in
the best shape, yet the British Min
istry of Labor reports that on Aug.
81, the number of wholly unemploy-
ed in the United Kingdom was 1884
900.

U. s. LABOR DEPARTMENT HAS
SETTLED 445 STRIKES NTHTS
ADMINISTRATION.

The severity and magnitude of the
textile, coal and railroad strikes have
been such as to dwarf all other
strike troubles. Conditions surround
ing these strikes also conveyed the
impression that the entire labor sit
uation has been allowed to drift un-
der the present administration. That
this is an erroneous idea is evidenced
by a report of the Cancellation bur-
eau of the U. S. Department of Labor
for the 10 months, March A, 1921, to
April 1st, 1922, inclusive.
In that period, more than 800
separate strikes, threatened strikes
and lockouts have been acted upon by
the u. S. Bureau of Cancellation; 50
were adjusted by the commissioners
in conjunction with state officials;
40 were in process of adjustment on
October first In only approximate
ly 50 cases have the efforts OF the U.
S. Bureau of Labor Cancellation
proved unsuccessful. The number
Of workers directly and indirectly In
volved in these industrial disputes
aggregated more than 100000.

FOUND 12 cows NOT WORTH
WINTERING.

Twelve cows were sold out of the
Ammonoosuc Cow Testing Association
in New Hampshire during October
for failure to Shell out" enough
milk to satisfy their owners. These
cows had been on test in the Asso-
citation since May 1 and the Babcock
test and the scales proved that they
were not worth wintering. In spite
of the low price on Gamer beef the
owners of those cows will be better
off financially next spring for having
disposed of them. To prove that
there are "cows and cows" So animals
in the same Association made a
thousand pounds of milk or 40 pounds
of fat apiece during the month of

THE PRISONER OF
 zENDA' AT F0X'S
Ingram Production Starts Sunday
 ht-Farnum Next

Will Hays, director general of the motion picture industry. has just fis- l sued a list of what he considers the | best pictures released for fall show ings, and included is the Rex Ingram 1 production, "The Prisoner of Zenda," which begins four days run at Foxs theater tomorrow evening. Rex Ingram is the man who produced I"The Four Horsemen' and he con- siders this picture eclipses his former | masterpiece. It is a story of royal romance, political intrigue and ad- venture as breathless and flashing as sword play.
 "The Prisoner of Zenda'' concerns l the adventures of an English gentle- man, Rudolf Rassendyll, who, because of a remarkable likeness to the ruler | of the mythical kingdom of Ruri- tania becomes for a time its actual king and wins the love of the Prin- cess Flavia. Lewis Stone plays the dual role of Rudolf and the drunk l en monarch, and beautiful Alice Ter l ry takes the part of the princess. Oth- CT famous stars in the cast include ] Robert Edeson, Stuart Holmes, Ra- mon Navarro, Edward Connolly, Lois Lee, Malcolm MacGregor and Bar hara LeMarr.
 | Easily, the most popular romance of generation, "The Prisoner of Zenda" has been pictured on the sam great scale and with the same faithfulness to detail that marked the -Four Horsemen." The famous cor onation scene takes place amid all the pomp and ceremony that ever marked those in Westminster Abbey. The dark, dank dungeon. hideous, where the real king is a prisoner, becomes the dueling ground for the pseudo king and the traitors; while the tender love scenes and the d final climax are not to be easily for gotten. The Prisoner of Zenda," true to life and picturing life's strange destinies will remain long satisfy ing memory in the minds of those who see it.
 This picture will be shown in con- l junction with four high class vaude- vile acts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, despite the fact that it is ten reels long.
 For the last half of next week, with changed vaudeville program, Fox's will offer the old favorite, William Farnunl, in Without Compromise" This is one of Farnum's best and shows him as tender lover, a, daunt- less enemy and an unforgiving foe.
 The week of November 13 through IS, is to be observed at Fox's theater as the annual anniversary week, when a bill of more than ordinary merit will be presented. There will be eight different acts of vaudeville dur ing the week. four to be shown the first three days and four the last three days, and two superb photoplays. | One will be Owen Moore in Love ] Is An Awful Thing" The other will be Mae Murray in Broadway Rose" | This last named picture will be | shown on Sunday Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov, 12, through 15.

Anniversary week, which opens at the Lyceum theatcr on Monday, No- vember 6, brsngs with it resumption of high class vaudeville at this popu- lar playhouse, after an absence of sev- eral months during which time the theater was either vacant or else showing movies only.

 Gloria Swanson, Monday
 Co-starring with Gloria Swanson in Her Husbands Trademark" are Stu art Holmes, Clarence Burton, Charles Ogle and Richard Wayne. The pie ture itself is a thrilling and vivid ro- nance of modern married life. It pre- sents Miss Swanson as a beautiful wife dressed in the latest styles, who is paraded before her husbands busi- ness associates to give the impression of wealth and success, neither of which are really his. The plot thick ems when a mutual friend returns af- ter attaining wealth and greatness, falls4n love with the wife and is some- what encouraged by the husband who hopes to attain some degree of pros- perity by the association. The situa- tion eliminates in wild dash to Mex leo where, in a fight with Mexican bandits, the husband is killed and the two lovers find triumph of their righteous love.

 made my voice properly reprov- ing for Juniors ears. With the bliss ful forgetfulness of young childhood he had hushed his sobs and was re- garding me curiously from his grand mothers arms. But if I had cher ished any idea that this speech would salve my mother-in-law's feelings I was doomed to swift disappointment.

 But Jacks eagnerness to be up and after Cousins, his keyed-up nerves and his anxiety to make good with his company kept him from making the reply Edna wanted.

 Abruptly she turned away from him, her lips pressed into angry thin- ness.

 It was in this mood that they met on the Paris express the Stanleys, a handsome, youngish couple, Ameri- can in pep and daring, continental in capitalization, French in flirtatious- ness.
 They had no visible occupation in life except an international good time money no object
 They struck up an easy acquain- tance with the Duryeas in the dining car and in the Duryeas' harassed mood were rather welcomed than other wise.

 The hysterical quality of Edna's animation was not noticed by either of the men.
