Men And Markets
 By P. F. E.

America in joining the league in its arms traffic barley at Geneva May 4, 1925, shows its further inclination to as- sist in the removal of causes of war. The convention of St. Germain, fOrmu- lated in 1919 for the control of traffic in arms, contained some provisions which made it impossible for our govern ment to accept Now, however, there seems chance to work out some prac- 1 tical and satisfactory method for the , control of traffic in arms. Any factor which tends to make it more difficult to carry on wars tends to prevent wars. In the last analysis. however, the real effectiveness of the league will not be in laying down set of rules which must be obeyed under penalty of pun ishment but in the removal of the eco- homie causes of war.
 The farm outlook for 1925 is favor able, so states the American Farm Blu reau federation There is every prom ise of an excellent wheat market for the balance of the crop year. And wheat prices are now almost 90 cents above year ago. The farmers have increased wheat acreage about , per cent this fall High price corn will probably continue although reduction of livestock on farms indicates feeding requirements 2OO,OOO,- GOO bushels of corn under last year. Conditions in the cattle market point to smaller supplies and better prices for | high grade animals next spring. The hog market has held up fairly well con sdering the large receipts, but this in dicates a lighter run later on with prob ably higher prices. The boil weevIl Is stealing less from the cotton farmer as he understands more and more how to control it, thus resulting in an in creased yield per acre., From every ln- dication 1925 should be a prosperous i, year for the farmer.
 More beet sugar will probably be sold this year due to the partial failure ot the Louisiana cane crop. Domestic beet sugar sales are already much in excess of last year. According to the Limited States Sugar association dOmes. tic beet sugar distribution should total 400 ,OOO tons by January 1, 1925, as compared with 267 ,00O tons on the same date last year. Beet and cane sugar ..grade about the same as to sweetness, so the American sweet tooth should be satisfied
 Shoe production, according to the latest figures of the department of com merce is running about normal although the production figures for the first ten months of 1924, 263,013,594 pairs, are under those for the same period of 1923 namely, 3O1 ,491 ,66S pairs. The pro ducing capacity of the shoe factories in the United States is sufficient to sup nly all our domestic trade in something Hike seven months of the year. Busy factories come from exporting shoes. The general strengthening of the European financial tangle should be of great hell to the shoe industry.
 Crude rubber importations for the month of November totaled 2S,660 long tons as compared with 13,393 for No vember, 1923. Of this monthly tota 23,333 long tons, or about S5 per cent

THE extent to which the thrift habit
 is practiced by different sections Of
 the country Is interestingly revealed in a survey published this week by the savings bank division of the American Bankers association. New England, in- cluding the states of Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut holds the na- tional record for per capita amounts saved. In 1912, the savings deposited per person for this section were $245. Today the amount is $443, an increase of sos per cent. The nearest competitor to this enviable record is the neighboring mid dle Atlantic district, including the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Delaware and Maryland. The per capita savings of this district were $151 in 1912. Today they are $305.
 The outstanding feature of this sav-

ings analysis is the extent to which industrial states exceed the agricultur- al. This situation is not necessarily reflection on the thrift of the rural dweller The city and industrial work CT receives his pay at regular intervals and according to a prearranged scale. He can more easily allot a definite amount to savings.
 Although the analysis which covers the 12-year period from 1912 to 1924, reveals that the southern states were late in developing the impulse to save, 1t shows that during this period this group has made by far the greatest relative advance. From per capita saving Of only SIS in 1912, the amount for the cur rent year of S52 is an increase of 1888 per cent. The nearest approach to this increase is the Pacific group, with an increase of 1876 per cent.

Motor fatalities show a slight drOp
 according to figures just announced by the National Automobile Chamber of of Commerce. The total number of fatal motor accidents in cities of over 100000 population during the month of October was 520, compared with 535 the same month a year ago, and 53O the previous month. Taking the figures for
 the United States as a whole it is esti-
 mated that there were somewhat over 1850 fatal automobile accidents in that one month alone. Motor accidents are
 largely unnecessary and avoidable as evidenced by the fact that thirty -eigSt
 cities reported no fatal accidents during
 the month This is another appalling
 and shameful price which we pay for carelessness

After this land has been re-

THE HAPPEST MAN

"The happiest man in my ac-
quaintance has more cause to be
unhappy than any man in my ac-
quaintance," says Ray Long in
Hearst's International. "He is
lame, and he can't be cured; he is
in constant pain, and he can't be
relieved; he carries excess weight
and he can't get thin.
yet in the years I have known
this man, l have never heard him
crouch at his fate. / have never
known him to show irritation; I
have never heard him knock a fell
low worker or fellow man.
Instead of letting his obesity
worry him, he wrote a humorous
book about the advantages of being
fat. Instead of letting his lameness
make reclusa of him, he has
made himself so entertaining that
at social gatherings you see the
est-looking women clustered
around him just for the joy of hear
ing him talk Instead of giving way
to his pain, he gets joy from work
that makes him forget the pain.
1.-The secret of his happiness lies
in the fact that he loves to do
things for others"
