CHICAGO.

| Chicago, May 10.-Pelated warm
weather is driving customers into
the retail stores and winter cloth
into into the mothballs. Encouraged
I by more seasonable weather, merch-
ants have renewed their heavy adj
vertising and are getting results.
Business is better with them than
at any time since the pre-Easter
rush. The big mail order houses
and jobbers are all busy filing or
| ders and they look for a much big
! ger month than they had in April,
/ both in number of orders and in
their volume.
While spring has not brought the
tremendous business which some
expected, improvement has been
steady in nearly all lines. One of
the best signs is the heavy demand
for automobiles. Local dealers are
complaining of slow deliveries
from the factories. Reports follow
ing the bank call show the remark
able gain of $146, 290,253 in cash
resour ces. National bank loans
were reduced since the last call by
S37 900, 900 but state banks in
creased their loans by s46.000,000.
This is interpreted to mean that
there is ag reater demand for the
financing of the movement of Sc
curities than for commercial enter
prises.
Building here is going on rather
rapidly despite threats of a general
strike of union workers May %.
PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, May 10.-Over three
thousand delegates are here this
week TO attend the meetings of the
National Foreign Trade Council and
are working out ways of improving
and fostering export trade. These
men, from all sections of the coun-
try, expressed the belief that condi-
tons for foreign trade were on the
road to rapid improvement.
Striking miners in the anthracite
fields are living on their savings
which are estimated to total ST.
100000. AS a consequence business
in that section of Pennsylvania has
not suffered greatly although the
strike has been in progress six
weeks. No inconvenience has been
experienced for lack of anthracite
fuel
Food prices have advanced in
this section in recent weeks. COT
fee is up IL per cent and sugar has
risen % per cent from the low re-
tail figures. Bank clearances are
running well above those of last
spring but are still below those for
the first part OF 1920.
The building construction pro-
gram here is now including more
structures for industrial and com
mercial purposes. Among them is
10 story silk hosiery mill. The re-
sorts on the New Jersey coast all
are preparing for big summer sea-
son and cottages are being built as
rapidly as possible.
NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, La, May 10-The
rapid advance in the price of cot
ton and the activity in the cotton
market are having a stimulating
effect on the commercial life of this
section. Their effect is being in
creased by the continued demand
for lumber which demonstrates
that the pine industry has gotten
back to a normal basis. Another
encouraging factor is the increase
in imports and exports handled .
through this port.
Since the first of April, cotton
has advanced from SIS to SIS a !
bale. Recent weather conditions |
have made any material increase !
in cotton acreage impossible and |
caused great uncertainty as to the |
supply. Many of the large lumber

WOMEN OF Middle Age
ATrying Period throughwhich Every
Woman Must Pass
Practical Suggestions Given by the Women Whose
Letters Follow

The critical time of a woman 3
life usually comes between the
years of IS and so, and is often be-
set with annoying symptoms such
as nervousness, irritabiliry, melan-
cholia. Heat flashes or waves of
heat appear to pass over the body,
cause the face to be very red and
often bring on headache, dizziness
and q sense of suffocation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable to make a
woman lose confidence in herself.
She becomes nervous, avoids meet
ing strangers and breads to go
out alone.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is especially adapted to
help women at this time. 1t exer-
cises a restorative influence, tones
and strengthens the system, and
assists nature in the long weeks
and months covering this period.
Let 1t help carry you through this
time or life. 1t is a splendid medi-
cine for the middle-aged woman. It
IS prepared from medicinal roots
and herbs and contains no harm
ful drugs or narcotics.

KIDS GET REVENGE FOR
Spelling PARTY PLANS

washington Times.-Members of the
Non-Partisan League of this county
are probably still swearing over the
trick that was played on them down
at the Sand Creek Consolidated school
last Friday evening. For a week or
two previous the students had been
planning on a Halloween party on
Friday night, but the Non-Partisans
had also planned to meet at the school
house on that night and by reason of
their superior force the youngsters
were compelled to give up their party,
much to their disguest. During the
5 speeches of the eloquent orators
the disgruntled kids got busy. They
let the air out of all the automobile
tires, filled some of the gas tanks
with water, disconnected the wires
from the spark plugs and switched
them around and then filled one of
the timers with axle grease. The
session on the outside of the school
after the meeting was dismissed was
much warmer than the one inside
had been, and 1t is generally UNDER
stood that the non-partisans have
some pretty hot stuff in the way of
speeches. For several hours they
were pumping up tires, readjusting
wires and draining out diluted gaso-
line until all but one car was able
to make its getaway. The owner of
that car gave up in despair, rolled up
in a blanket and stayed until morning
and then worked until IL o'clock be-
fore he could get his car to going.
Nothing on any of the cars was brok-
en- nor was there anything done that
could not be righted by the exercise
of a little labor and patience.

BY REV. A. c.. MacLEAN

science did not check. but rather APP
proved, his actions. But the acts
we're wrong just the same, and after
becoming a Christian he deplores
those very acts. Perhaps there are
things you may be able to do now
that a few years ago your conscience
would reprove you for doing, and you
are not checked. II you are checked,
II you have not scared your con-
science as with a hot iron," be care
full, for you may come to that place
where you may be able to do very
evil things and feel no disapprovaI OF
conscience.
Education of the conscience then,
is very important, for it will check
one In that he knows to be wrong
when he thinks OF IL, or Is tempted
to do It. A little girl. about twelve
years of age, stood before a police
Justice In New York City, charged
with larceny. The Judge, struck by
the innocent appearance OF the child.
said to her: Do you not know that
il is a great sin against God to steal?
received this answer: mo sir, ! was
taught that It was not wrong to steal
but that 1t was wrong to get caught.
1t was simply a cas- where a child's
conscience had been trained to be-
lieve that a wrong act was a good act.
No. our conscience is not a safe guide
unless it has been trained and kept
sensitive. 80 that Its standards will be
right,
Another reason why we need a d.
vine guide Is because we pass over
this way, only once.
You may take a wrong o a on
| your way home, retrace your steps
and at last reach your desired destin-
alton. but you have only n life to
live. and IL you go wrong In that you
| have no other to try again. There Is
a latin proverb which tells us tEat
"Opportunity he's hair On the front
of its head but is bald behind" and
This agrees with the familiar injunc-
ton. "Take time by the forelock.'
/ Many things are brought - our aoor
by opportunity. which, IL negiected.
never come again. ] know that II ID
said that opportunity knocks at your
door only once, but / think Is
knocking every day. That single
chance that opportunity brought to
you will, very likely. never come
again, but even now the footsteps OF
opportunity, leading TO you another
chance, can be heard approaching.
Arise and seize 1t now, or IT will pass
along to be taken by another. The
deed of kindness that you intended
to do, las mo- been done, but o Will
have no better time than now. You
will not pass again this way. 0 divine
guide! lead us Alright. that we may
make the fewest mistakes possible, as
we pass over this way.
"The bread that giveth strength !
want to give;
The water pure that bids the thirsty
live;
II want to help the fainting day by day
I'm sure I shall not pass again this
way.
/ want to give the oil OF JOY for tears,
The faith to conquer crowding doubts
and fears.
Beauty for ashes may I give Away;
I'm sure / shall not pass again this
way"
