MONTHLY REPORT
FEDERAL RESERVE

The outstanding feature of the
greater part Of the month has been
the continuance of business and in
dustrial activity at the relatively
high rate recently attained. In fact,
production has shown further in
creases in some lines, while in those
which normally would be noticeably
affected by seasonal influences, de-
creases on the whole have been
relatively slight. At the same time,
prices have continued their upward
tendency. As the current month
progressed the effects of the coal
and railroad strikes began to make
themselves felt. This influence has
served recently to restrain produc-
tive activities in various lines, no.
tably iron and steel. The plans re-
Gently announced b ythe admins
tration are expected to relieve the
situation.
The output in various lines of
manufacture showed further inn
provement in June. This was par
ticularly noticeable in the cases of
iron and steel, copper, automobiles
and tanning. Construction activity
has been well sustained. The amount
of bituminous coal mined in June
showed considerable increase, but
since the opening of the present
month has fallen off greatly. Coal
stocks have consequently been fur
Their drawn upon. Petroleum out
put continued large; stocks are in
fact accommodating. A further re-
duction in the number of persons
out of work was reported during
June, and scarcity of labor con-
tinued to be noticed, especially in
the building trades. Agricultural
prospects are still very satisfactory
for the country as a whole. In
wholesale trade there was a general
Improvement during June. The vol
ume of retail trade was well sus-
tanned, though slightly less than in
May.
Financially there have been few
new developments noted for the
month. Two Federal Reserve Banks
reduced their discount rate. OF
much interest has been the an
nouncement by the Treasury calling
for redemption on December 10,
1922, of approximately one billion
dollars of the Az per cent Vieatory
Notes. Federal Reserve Banks port
folios show little change, while
member bank loans other than those
secured by stocks and bonds show
a downward tendency.

JACK DEMPSEY BROKE
TRIP ABROAD EXPENSIVE

Jack Dempsey, king of the
worlds heavyweight scrappers, is
"broke."
He admitted that much to Oma-
hans when he stopped there re-
Gently.
Jack may be peer of the squared
circle artists but as a business man
he's a failure.
He says the $4,000 he earned
Tor rather was given) for ten min
utes in the ring with Georges Car
pentier, French war hero, has dwin-
died.
That's poor business of course.
He blames his European trip,
numerous lawsuits and taxes.
His first business blunder was
his failure to don the khaki.
If Jack had shouldered rifle
for Uncle Sam instead of joining
the shipyard brigade he would have
been thousands of dollars ahead
even without adjusted compensa-
ton.
For instance
Had he fought in France instead
of at Boyles Thirty Acres, New
Jersey, he would not have cared to
go back.
Jack as a business man would
have avoided all these big ex-
penses had he visited France in IS.

AND HE RAMRLED

The following items were clipped
from the Glenrock Gazette:
"Toots" Anderson, the 4-year-old
daughter of Jacob Anderson, in
Green's camp, was badly injured in
the back of the head by the ram
running loose in Green's camp Tues
day evening. He is great pest
and danger and the residents of
Green's camp wish the owner would
care for it.
Edward, small son of Beryl
Moore, in Green's camp was butted
in the abdomen by the ram belong
ing to McIllneys, which was run
ming loose in camp last week. The
animal is great trial to parents
with small children. The McIllneys
are on their homestead north of the
river and there is no one to take
care of BILLY" the ram.

SOLON LONG TIME
BUT KEEPS SILENT

LONDON, July 21.-Attention,
members of the Congress of the
United Statesi
This is the tale of a man from
whose books many members of
Congress of the United States might
take leaf and bring joy to the
American public.
John Hope has been a member
of the British House of Commons
for % years and has not yet made
his maiden speech.
Hope IS regular attendant at
the House of Commons and has
the rare record or having won out
in seven contested electiones. in
which he has fought every political
party.
"Why don't l speak in the
house?" echoed Hope when he was
questioned. "Well l have found
that l can do more by not talking.
"When entered the house first
of all l never had any idea of
never making speech.
but time went on, and the
maiden speech was still undelivered
although | have been tempted to
do it. more than once, and friends
have urged me to break the record
and now l am afraid it will
never be delivered"
Hopes reluctance to speak is
not because of any inability to do
so, for he can crate effectively. He
is not shy. When he wants any
thing he goes directly to the re-
sponsible minister of the cabinet
and generally gets what he wants,
because he is one man who has
never attempted to browbeat the
cabineteers across the chambers of
the house of commons.
Hope bidds fair to keep his word
and be the one speechless member
of the house of commons, and if
he does so he will take away the
record created by William Hamil-
tho, who in the eighteenth century
gained for himself the name of
"Single Speech Hamilton" because
he is supposed to have never made
but one speech in commons. In
the dim, distant past it is reported
there was member of commons
who never opened his lips in the
house except on one occasion, and
then it was to ask that a window
be closed.

BRIEF FACTS NOT
GENERALLY KNOWN

is being torn down to make way for
more profitable investment. The
axle of the structure alone weighs
$4,000 pounds, and is set at a
distance of 164 feet from the
ground. 1t was built in 1900, at
the time of the Paris Exhibition,
from plans of Ferris an American
engineer.

The most patient man is resi-
dent of Buenos Aires. With only
file, he has worked IL years in
making a miniature locomotive of
scrap iron. The locomotive can be
operated under its own power by
the use of compressed air. The iron
was not heated in the making but
was worked cold. A small coal ten
der and passenger soach were made
at the same time and the whole
thing is a little more than six
feet in length and weighs ITO
pounds. More than 1900 screws
and 1000 rivets were used in the
work. The train is complete to
the last tiny-deail and is built on
the model of the equipment used on
the British railroads of that country.

commercial value. According to
the president of the Colorado
School Of Mines the invention will
revolutionise the oil industry.
