PREDICT BETTER
BUSINESS SOON
Find Resistance To Lower
Trend Holding Prices
At Present Level

Business in the United States now
is in the condition which usually
precedes a general improvement, ac-
cording to 1856 editors of business
papers, whose judgment is combined
in the eighth semi-annual survey of
the business outlook, released for
publication this week by Stanley A.
Dennis, president of the National
Conference of Business Paper Edi-
tors.
AS members of the National Con-
ference and of the Associated Busi-
ness Papers, these 1856 editors of
technical trade, service and profess
sional papers find that resistance to
the downward trend is holding
prices at the present level and that
there has already been an upturn in
production and distribution in GER
tain fields, although there has heen
little or no profit at present prices.
With goods moving, and the inven-
tories of raw materials and finished
products now liquidated, the editors
say that replacement buying cannot
much longer be delayed.
They find the tone of the market
improved generally. The fields al
ready reporting an upturn are: The
autOmotive equipment and parts sec
tion of the automobile industry,
chemicals, machine tools, electric
power production, textiles, CONNER
cial bakeries, furniture manufacture
ing, construction, meat packing,
shoe retailing and radio broadcast
ing.
While little change in the general
level of business has as yet been
noted, the upward trend of the stock
market will undoubtedly have
stimulating effect on business, ac-
cording to the belief expressed by
DR.. Stephen I. Miller, executive man
ager of the National Association of
Credit Men, in his monthly bulletin
which was sent out this week.
"The investing public has decided
at last to come in and run trial
heat with the professional opera
tors" said DR.. Miller. "And Wall
Street sentiment has been improved
by President Hoover's moratorium,

railroad situation. These are the
combined appeal for Is per cent
increase in freight rates and an
of the fact that the con-
solidation plan for the Eastern
trunk lines will soon be ready for
submission to the Interstate Com
merce Commission"
DR.. Miller warned that no pro-
nounced upturn in business should :
be expected before fall, although he
said that wholesale and retail dis
are looking little better
and unemployment is being reduced
in some parts of the country" He
advised the $4,000 members of the
credit organization to adopt wait
-and-keep-on-waiting" attitude.
The trade editors report that ag-
gressive merchandising in which
and retailers develop
goods that will sell under present
day conditions, has characterized
business for the six months just

Dear Editor:
It is several years since I
have written to you on my fav-
orite subject, Public Power &
Light Development. However,
just today there came to me an
account of what has been ac-
complished in one of your cit
les, Virginia, Minnesota, where
the people have had sense
enough to do their own power
generating and distributing. I
am forwarding to you the story
of this most wonderful achieve
ment, and I feel that you and
your Sank Centre People, es-
pecially my good friends Mr..
George O'Gara, Mr.. John Nc
Gibbon and Mr.. George Borg
mann, should be most vitality
interested in this story.
You willno tie that these Vir-
ginia citizens are buying light

owned plant for less than you
Sank Centre folks are paying
the Northern States Power
Company, or it's subsidiary, for
wholesale current. If my men,
DRY serves me- correctly, you
pay them a fraction over two
cents per kilowatt hour, while
these Virginia people pay only
two cents for their retail cur
rent, per kilowatt hour. In
addition, as you will note. these
Virginia people already have
their light plant completely
paid for, after being in the bus
mess, seventeen years ago,
You will further note, that
previous to the time that these
wise people decided to take
over this light and power bus
mess, seventeens years ago,
they were paying over eleven
cents per kilowatt hour. I
wonder if I need further edi-
torialize on this most wonder
full achievement, and compare
it with your Sank Centre
plant? Well, I shall not do so,
very extensively. However, I
might mention, that you are
paying too much for your
wholesale current, and that the
company from which you buy,
could sell you this power for
about half, and still make con-
siderable money, if their COM
pany is honestly capitalized.

Interesting PAPERS


Wednesday afternoon March 9Th
at the home of Mrs. Vail, Mrs. b.
hall gave report on North
Americas Union with South Amer
lea" and Mrs. Arndt one on PAN
anna Canal"
The Pan American Union is the
voluntary official organization in
Washington, of the 81 republics, ex-
listing by common consent and not
covered by treaty. The Union is the
official custodian of Conference re-
ports and perpetuates their activi-
ties. 1t has greatly promoted the
feeling of Americanism and good
feeling thruout the Western Hem
isphere. The Pan American Con-
ference of 1S89-90 was the first sue
cessful one. The most lasting
achievement of the Conference was
the establishment of the Bureau of
American Republic at Washington.
The next most important Confer
ence was in 1910 at Buenos Aires
here treaties relating to patents,
copyrights were drafted and it was
at this conference that the Pan
American Union was adopted. In
1910 the Pan American Building
was finished in Washington.
One of the expressed objects of
the Union is the Arbitration of all
disputes. Owing to our war difficult
ties with Mexico at the time of
the World War, Argentina, Brazil
and Chile acted as arbitrator. Our
policy toward the Latin American
Republics is to help them establish
permanent self governments. In
1880 the Pan American Union spon-
sored our Inter-American Confer
ence of Agriculture. Forestry and
Animal Husbandry which net last
Sept. Papers covering these sub
jects were printed in three Ian
guages. At the Havana Confer
ence in 1928 Hon. Chas. Hughes
presented the Arbitration question
in such a manner that Obligatory
Arbitration was unanimously adopt
ed
Mrs, Arndt Discussed the Pana-
ma Canal. During the gold rush in
California Panama became very
important because Of the shorter
distance. In $3.50 railroad was
built joining the Atlantic and Pa
cific seacoasts. The French who
had recently finished the Suez Ca
nal started a Panama Canal. After
various assessments and failures
the French gave it up. The Malar-
ia and mosquito problem was the
chief cause of failure. In 1904 the
U. S. took over the French rights
to the Panama Canal by paying
100000 to the French and $10,-
600 900 to the Panama Republic
The Canal presented an unusual
engineering problem. After much
Investigation Congress in June 30
1906 voted to build the locktype
The canal was opened in 1914 thru
the great work of Colonel Golthals
and General Torgas. The length
of the canal is 47k miles. Nine
and one-half to IL hours is the
time required for boat to pass
thru. Vessels pass thru by being
lowed on electric locomotives rum
ming on cog rails laid along the TOP
