OPTIMISM CREEPING
INTO LIVES OF ALL
Gloom of Past Few Months is Dis
PEELED by Confidence and Faith
in Future.

Optimism has entered as factor
in the business life of Morris and
vicinity during the past week with
the result that the great majority OF
folks are looking ahead with renewed
confidence to the coming months. It
has been generally admitted during
the past months that business has
been rotten, that collections have
been rotten, that about everything
has been rotten so far as gathering
in the sheck1es is concerned and the
struggle for livelihood pursued.
Such has been the frame of mind
that most folks have been nursing
with a strong undercurrent of pessi-
mism that would have destined the
Roman Empire to an earlier and
speedier downfall. During the past
couple of weeks, however, there has
been general rise in temperature,
an increased confidence manifested
and the calamity 9owler is giving
way to the optimist whose smile OF
faith is rejecting an increased hope
that lies ever present in the human
breast for an opportunity of mani
Testing itself.
The gradual rise in the prices OF
many farm products, the realization
that it has not been SO bad after all
and the increasing hours of sunlight
that harbinger the springtime, all
working together seem to have had an
altogether wholesome effect on folks
in general, Conversations in the
stores, on the streets and in the homes
indicate an Increasingly optimistic
frame of mind coming over all. Mer-
chants and farmers alike are feeling
their spirits rise with confidence in
the future, are casting aside the
gloom that has prevailed, to a large
extent for several months, and are
facing the future with smiles and
confidence.
According to word drifting in from
the Atlantic seaboard, conditions are.
becoming much better there, work is
becoming more plentiful and money
is losening up. While it usually takes
several months for improved condi-
tions in the East to have any notic-
fbie effect on the Middle West, the.
fact that conditions are improving
there has been a considerable boon
to the Middle West and the next few
months are looked forward to by the
great majority as months that will
bring about a general shifting of
conditions for the better and an ever
increasing activity in the business
world.
