NOTED ANALYST SCANS U.S.. BUSINESS
PROSPECTS PROSPERITY TO CARRY ON
BY LEONARD r. ANKES
Noted Cleveland CO., Banker and
Business StatiStician

General business, which was slow
in the summer Of 1924, improved I'M
til it reached prosperity levels in
1925, and we have enjoyed cxccp-
tionally well sustained good times in
1926. This period Of unusually good
times has been largely based upon
active building construction, very
large automobile production, and CON
sistently easy and inexpensive credit.
The output of iron has been very
large, and that Of steel has been of
record breaking proportions. The ag
grcgatc Of the 1926 industrial profits
will be considerably higher than in
any previous year. Employment has
been general. and wages high. The
total value of checks cashcd or cred
tied has reached new high records.
For once, moreover, we have been
prosperous without getting reckless.
1t has been a prudent prosperity. The
major reason probably is that the
trend Of Wholesale commodity prices
has been gently declining one.
Controlling Factor
This has been "A controlling factor
in restraining commodity speculation
and discouraging the building up Of
excess inventories. 1t has stimulated
hand to mouth buying.
Efficiency of railroad transporta-
ton has greatly aided industry and
business.
If prosperity has been genuine and
generous during the past year, how
ever. it has been uneven.
The year has been disappointing
one for the farmers, for the prices Of
their most important crops have de-
clincd, quality Of some of the har-
vests has not been Of the first class,
and, notably in cotton, there has
been overproductiOn.
The great cotton price drop was
followed by early frosts and excessive
rainfall in the middle west Market
values Of autumn fruits declined.
The textile industries have had an
unsatisfactory year, and conditions
have been no better than fair for the
companies making railroad equip
ment.
Employment Looks Good
Employment promises to be good
in 1927, and without either much in
voluntary idleness or real compcti-
ton for labor. 1t is not likely that
there will appear serious conditions
resulting from the extension of in.
stallmcnt selling. The general pros.
poets are for year Of somewhat re-
duced, but still generally prosperous
business.
1t now seems as though the volume
of building construction will be
somewhat less next year than it was
! IN 1925, or 1926.
Costs Of building may he somcwha,
lower. but if they arc it will prob
ably be due to reductions in materia
costs, rather than To changes in wag.
rates.

129 Marriage Licenses Issued

Although the number Of marriage
licenses issued in Burleigh county
during 1926 has decreased by 81 as
compared, with 1925, according to
records in the office of County Judge
l. e. Davies, Dan Cupid has had a
very active year and has easily sur
passed his accomplishments of 1928
and. 1924. The great prosperity Of
1925 is given credit for the record
number of licenses issued that year
when 16O couples, the largest num-
Der in the history of the county,
were granted the documents.
The number of licenses issued in
Burleigh county in 1926 is 129, the
records show. This compares very
favorably with the ia licenses is

1924.

Watch parties, where the old time
custom Of watching the Old Year
out and the New Year in will be
observed form the most popular
method Of celebrating the arrival Of
the new year in Bismarck. Many Of
the churches Of the city have plan
ned services of this kind. and these
will be number of watch parties
in private homes Of the city.
The German Baptist church ut the
corner of Eigth and Rosscr streets
announces watch night services
which will begin ut 9:3O. An interest
ing program will be given and the
threshold Of the New Year will be
approached in rcvercntial and
prayerful way
At the Evangelical Lutheran church
the program will begin at . o'clock
Friday evening with program by
the Sunday school Rev. G. +.
Strutz, the pastor, will preach a
short sermon on Fellowship" after
which conservation service, which
will continue until after mdning
will be held. The pageant planned
by the young peoples department has
been postponed.
At the McCabe Methodist Episco-
pal church religious watch night
service will be held from II until l2
o'clock. This will be preceded by a
social hour from 10 to II o'clock
when refreshments will be served by
members Of the Ladies Aid society.
The party will be in the church par
Tors and the service in the church
auditorium.
The young people of the Prcsbytc-
rian church will have skating party
which begins at 8 O'Clock. On their

Wright will deliver a short sermon
after which watch night service
has been arranged.
The program to be given at the

surprising if the total production for
the year should be within 5 or 6
per cent of being as great as in 1926.
Interest Rates Moderate
Interest rates arc moderate now,
and their trend may we'll be a
slowly declining one. II this hap
pens, bosd prices may be expected to
rise. Marked irrcgularity of price
movements probably will develop on
the stock exchange. but it does not
seem at all likely that there will be
real bear market.
The high 1926 steel production fig
urcs arc not likely to be exceeded,
but the railroads will almost surely
be prosperous and they probably will
be better customers Of the industry
in 1927 than in 1926.
1t seems more likely that industr rial
profit margins will narrow somewhat
than that they will continue to broad
en-, but dividends probably will be
well maintained.
The trend of commodity prices
both wholesale and retail, and OF
the cost Of living, probably will con-
tinuc to be slowly declining one.
The volume Of foreign loans prob.
ably will again be very large.

The Kiwanis Club

Every organization must have a
reason for its existence said DR..
J. o. Arnson. who has served as
pres dent of the Bismarck kiwanis
club during 1926. 1--WE all know what
needs are filled Dy YOUR various fra
ternal organizations. Some are pure
ly fraternal and emphasize social re-
lationship. while others feature pro-
tcctive and beneficial ideas. The Ser
vice Luncheon clubs differ in many
respects from the fraternal organ
ization inasmuch as their function is
quite apart from social organizations.
"The Kiwanis Club international
has for it's ideal the building of the
community; in the local sense the
building Of town and in the gen.
eral sense the building Of the country
and the larger human relationship.
Any ideal that is Of interest or Of
value to the community Is work for
kiwanis. Any project which will
advance the interest Of the commun-
ity and increase the happiness Of the
citizenship is Kiwsnis' opportunity.
We build is our motto, and our
building Is both material and spirit
ual.
"The Kiwanis club of Bismarck is
now four years old and is entering
upon the period Of its existence when
it will be able to render the most
service to our community. The Pc
Rod of Organization is rast and its
foundation is we'll established. The
aim Of the club for the coming year
is to promote better relationship be-
tween the country and the city, to
render aid in special projects when
ever possible. both by financial and
moral support. The first concrete
example of the fostering Of this rela-
tionship is in assuming the rsspon-
sibility In connection with the juve-

LUNCHEON CLUBS PROVE OF VALUABLE
ASSISTANCE in CITYS ADVANCEMENT

Bismarcks three luncheon clubs
the Lions, kiwanis and Rotary -
have done much to aid in the advan-
cement of the city during the past
year. These clubs are organized for
mutual helpfulness among their mem
bers and are always found behind
every worthwhile movement in the
city. They assist the Association of
Commerce in every way possible for
the betterment of Bismarck and
undertake many things on their own
account which make the city better
place in which to live.
Each club meets once each week,
when the members gather around the
luncheon table and, while enjoying
each others companionship for an
hour, hear interesting and entertain
ing programs of music, recitatiOns,
and talks. Speakers who appear be-
fore these clubs always have mes
sages Of special interest to the mem
hers and the programs are as . rule
very educational.
The Lions club meets each Mon
day noon, the Kiwanis meet at noon
on Tuesdays, and the Rotarians have
chosen Wednesdays for their noon.
day meetings. All clubs meet at the
Grand Pacific hotel, where special
dining room is provided for their
use.
The Rotary Club
1T is not the intention or aim
of Rotary to supplant any other or.
ganization, but rather support and
further the projects which have been
placed under way for the bettermen,
Of civic conditions" said B. X. Skeels

club, today.
ITO that end, Rotary has continued
to support the Association Of Com.
