DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Seasonal Quietness Not Sign of
Lack of Confidence.

NEW YORK. November 1S.-Dun's
today says:
New buying has not held at the re-
cent active rate in some important
markets. but many interests are SO
we'll supplied with business that the
demand does not affect
sentiment adversely. With an in
ventory. period close at hand and a
holiday season approaching. a contin-
uancc of the slowing down process in
other than retail branches would not
be surprising. nor would Ii be a rea-
son for loss OF confidence.
THE fact stands out plainly that
pressure of accumulated orders main
tains outputs at a relatively high level
in leading industries. and 1t is not un-
common now to hear of some manu-
facturers being engaged farther
ahead than at any time in two years.
When the results of the current year
are analyzed fully it will be found
that there has been a substantial re-
vival from the depression which fol-
lowed the collapse of the after-war
boom in 1920 and that previous rec
ords have been surpassed in certain
instances"

We sent him word it was broke to start with, and there was no chance for loss in the operation After the first month of operation the local butcher got 1t out of his head that his business was going to be hurt, and some of the more fair-minded men could see that the fact that meat was being advertised all the time really increased their sales. We asked the county agents of two adjoining coun- ties which had towns about the size of Chillicothe, to make an investigation to ascertain whether their butchers sold more meat than in previous years From all information obtainabIe both the county agents reported less sales in the winter of 1921 and 1922 than in previous years.

GROWING BEST ALFALFA SEED
South Dakota Exchange at Rapid City Making Plans for Another
 Successful Year.

The Western South Dakota Alfalfa Seed Growers exchange at Rapid City is making plans for another success full year. Last year, the first in it's experience, was remarkably success full, considering the fact that there was an oversupply of seed. The farmers exchange handled more than 600, 900 bushels of extra quality seed, selling it in all parts of the country.
 The western growers have a hunch that seed will bring a better price on an earlier market than last year. They plan to conduct a more extensive advertising campaign to tell the world that South Dakota produces the best seed.

Bridge Will Be es5 Feet High.

Washington.-The proposed North River bridge, spanning the Hudson from the center of New York City to Weehawken, New Jersey, will be, with it's connections and terminals, "the most stupendous engineering work yet undertaken, surpassing in that respect and also in final cost the Panama ca nal," according to Representative Err nest Alderman of New Jersey.
 The plans call for single span of 5000 feet, without a single pier in the river, hung on four immense cables suspended from terminal towers 6S0 feet high, or 13O feet higher than the famed Washington monument.

Small Grain Yields Decrease.

Denver.-Threshing of small grains is making good progress in Wyoming and Colorado; yields are generally not as heavy as expected but the quality is good. Rain is badly needed in these states to facilitate the seeding of win ter wheat and rye and unless better moisture conditions occur soon the acreage will be considerably curtailed. Seeding is in progress in Arizona and some remarkable growth reported. The yield of corn will generally be light in Colorado due to the excessive drouth, except in the eastern and northeastern counties, where a good crop is reported. Corn is maturing rapidly in Wyoming and is past frost danger; considerable fodder and silage has already been cut.

NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT HER
Critic Asserts Author Is All Wrong in His Description of Heroine of
 His Tale.

Harold G. Armstrong, the author of For Richer for Poorer,' apparently has no desire to enroll himself in the younger generation. At any rate his herine is fiamboyantly an old-fash- toned girl. On page 15S we read. All at once Marion let down her hair. More than that Kenneth Granting. the hero, was thrilled thereby. "It was a symbol. They kissed. Deep-encyst- ed inhibitfons vanished. They were normal people, after all.'
 Marion did not seem so to us We do not think she should be allowed to qualify If she had been normal heroine of today, it would have been the hair which had vanished and the inhibitions which were let down. Haywood Broun in the New York World.

START PORK EATING
 SCHEME IN MISSOURI
Farm Bureau in Livingston Coun- ty Inaugurates Plan to En-
 courage Consumption.

An interesting and effective method of increasing the consumption of meat locally is outlined by D. R. Forester, county agent in Livingston county, Missouri.
 Livingston county tried out some thing last year which I believe should be commended to every coun- ty in the United States. The farm bureau, through the live stock ship pers' association, established retail meat market to deliver large pieces, such as hams, sides and shoulders of pork to consumers at a low price The farm bureau loaned a revolving fund of $2OO. They hired a farmer living north of town to kill hogs fer $1 each, and make the delivery at the same price. If no hogs were killed and delivered there was no overhead expense. Seven cents per hundred weight was paid to the manager of the Chillicothe Shipping association to locate and keep these hogs supplied to the butcher. This pork was fur nished to the consumers at from one half to two-thirds of the price 1t was being sold at local butcher shops in the same-sized pieces. However. after this market was established the To- cal butchers came down to the same price. An advertisement giving the price of meats and phone number was put in three local papers and run for the four winter months. Killing and delivering was three times per week. and very little expense was incurred in the marketing.
 '"The Farm Bureau Live Stock Ship ping association meat market handled 25.OOO pounds of dressed pork. This did not reduce the sales of the local butcher shops. In fact, the butcher shops records show that they sold more meats during December and Jan uary than they had during those months in any previous year. The point here Is that the main way to stimulate the consumption of an ar ticle is to reduce the cost to the con- sLmers. The farmers were paid from 40 to 60 cents per hundredweight more for delivering their hogs to the association than they would receive by shipping out on the market.
 "It was not our intention to make money in our operations here. On the other hand there was practically no chance for loss. One of the local butchers was quite panickY when we

Corn Is PopuIar Crop in Colorado.

Corn Is Popular Crop in Colorado.
 Denver.-Corn still is the most pop ular crop in Colorado, more farmers raising corn than any other single crop grown in the state. Reports of county assessors to the State Immigration Department show 2S,213 farmers grow ing corn, compared with 2S,O91 last year.
 Wheat ranks second in popularity, there being 26,275 farmers reported as growing the crop. The number grow ing winter wheat was 16,092, while 14,961 reported spring wheat. Since a good many farmers grow both win ter and spring wheat, the total num- Der growing wheat is considerably less than the sum of those reporting win ter and spring wheat.
 While more farmers raise corn than any other crop, the total acreage de voted to wheat is much larger than that devoted to corn, being 27.16 per cent of the total acreage under culti- vation Assessors this year reported 19S1 ,652 acres of wheat, of which l. 551 1925 acres was winter wheat and 429, ,S27 acres spring wheat. The acre age of corn reported is 1,100,97S- These are the largest acreages ever reported for these crops

FREEDOM FROM
 LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
 Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re lief from constipation only at the ex- pense of permanent injury, says an eminent medical authority.
 Science has found a newer, better way-a means as simple as Nature itself
 In perfect health natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft and moving. But when constipation exists this nat ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi cal authorities have found that the gentle lubricating action of Nujol most closely resembles that of Natures own lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative it cannot gripe. It is in no sense medicine And like pure water 1t IS harmless and pleasant.

There two ways of getting OF it-by
rendering some service for which payment is made
or by outwitting the other fellow. The blind pool

usually hard to get the best of The inves-

''Metered Maip Proves Time
And Money Saver in Business

"Metered mall a newly perfected
and recently adopted system of stamp
ing and postmarking large quantities
of mail. is attracting the interest Of
members OF the Postmasters' Conven-
ton at the Raleigh Hotel. The system
is planned to save money and to save
time.
The first concern to adopt this new
method Of handling mail was a large
insurance association in Utica, N. Y.
This organization was licensed by the
Post ONCE Department to meter their
postage and postmark their mail In
their own once. IN August, 1921. In
the succeeding twelve months, insti-
tutions in forty-five different cities of
the United States recognized the mer-
its of "metered mali and obtained
license from the Post once Depart
ment to use postage meters.
At the present time there Is only one
type Of postage meter on the market.
The Post once Department is giving
consideration to other types and II
they are found to meet the exacting
requirements of the government as to
mechanical accuracy and will insure
the safeguarding of the government s
revenues, they no doubt will be ap-
proved.
The only postage meters now in use
are manufactured by a concern in
Stamford, Conn, pioneers in the intro
duction and development of this new
system of handling mail matter
These people have for a number OF
years been manufacturing post office
machinery for governments of the
world.
The interest OF postoffice officials in
this new system OF handling mail is
being evidenced by the attention the
