Robert " Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank, and
Howard w. Kacy, general coun-
sci, were elected directors of the
Acacia Mutual Life Association,
yesterday.
William Montgomery; president.
reported at yesterdays meeting
in Acacia's home office building
here, that a distinct improvement
in general business conditions is
revealed in the progress achieved
by the association during the
last six months. :.
, He submitted statistics which
supported his contention that a
steady month-by-month better
:nent is taking place in the bust
ness Of. Acacia, and he asserted
that this Improvement reflects a
fundamental improvement in bust
ness as a whole.
Mr.. Montgomery pointed out
that lapses have been growing
steadily smaller, and policy loans
are less; that the volume of bust
ness written is on the increase;
and that for. the half-year period
Acacia's assets have increased
three million dollars.
The association now has a total
of 1862 100000 of insurance in
force. Placed business for June,
the last month for which COM
plete statistics are available, was

No Boost Expected
It was anticipated the final
July issue, on which bids will
be received at the Federal Re
serve banks tomorrow, would cost
no more.
Prospects pointed to continued
low rates in August when ap-
proZimately $4,000, 900 in bills
will be retired and no doubt re-
placed by about the same amount
Of a similar type of security.
This would indicate the Treas
ury will make every effort to
keep down its average rate of
interest throughout the year so
that the anticipated heavy in
crease in the public debt will not
be attended by a proportionate
larger cost Of money. The Gov

Back of all lies too much credit
and too much spending in the
past. The plain fact is that every.
body was going ahead too fast
too much land speculation, too
much road building, too many
automobiles, and too many banks
Too much money was going out
of every country or town, and toe
little coming .in-like a nation

Home in New York, I am sum-
ming UP in my mind all 5he facts
and opinions gathered on my trip
through the South and Central
States, and will now attempt to
give recapitulation.
The South and the Middle West
alike are suffering severe depres-
sion. There Is much unemploy-
ment, though relieved by the re-
turn of many from towns to
farms, and those who are work
ing have a much reduced pur-
chasing power. I think condi-
tions in the Southeast are worse
than in the Midwest.
Casual Outlook Usual
In the towns O casual visitor
would not notice anything un-
usual, except that the hotels are
nearly empty and occasional beg
garS are met.
Taxi drivers complain Of fewer
trips. Movie houses are well pa
tronized, but not crowded. De-
partment stores show Q fair num-
ber of shoppers, but you find no
one in the furniture department,
and people are buying less.
Almost everywhere people are
going back to farms, where they
can at least make a living. This
relieves unemployment, particu,
larly in the South.

turers seem to be doing well
