Raleigh. Dec. 20.-F'or the first
nine months of 1889 the only bust
ness and prosperity index which
was off" in North Carolina was
farm income, according to SThe
Business Record, State by State, a
quarterly feature Of the national
publication "Business Week.
The other seven idices listed pas
senger car sales, gasoline consump-
ton, household refrigerator sales,
ordinary life insurance, value Of
checks, electric power output and
heavy construction. All showed
increases ranging from scant two
percent for life insurance sales to
"A percent in heavy construction.
The magazine simply states the
case in percentage form, with no
comment on causes; but it is entire
ly obvious to those with any infor
nation regarding North Carolina
that the slump in farm income, a
serious one which reached the
major proportions Of "a percent was
due quite largely to the tremendous
decrease in tobacco prices this year.
For the entire United States every
one Of the eight induces moved up.
though here, too, farm income made
the poorest showing, with an in
crease Of only two percent, from
where the figures ranged upward
to fifty percent increase in house

Sectionally, the South Atlantic
division, which includes North
Carolina, led the country in per-
centage of increase in heavy con-
struction, but at the other extreme
it led all others in the percentage
decline in value Of its farm pro
ducts.
Seriousness OF North Carolina de-
clining farm income is best illustrate
ed by the fact that the percentage Of
loss was far and away the most
severe in the United States. No other
State even approached loss of 20
per cent and only two showed &c

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

G. V. H.: "1s it true that the tel
ephone harbors no disease germs?
What about baby's toys?"
Answer--Most germs that affect
human beings die a short time after
they leave the body, especially if
they light on smooth, hard surface
like telephone receiver. Just how
much cross Infection of respiratory
diseases come from telephones has
never been accurately studied But
the incidence must be pretty low.
Baby's toys seldom carry disease
germs. The most dangerous posi-
blllty is the transmission of scarlet
fever. A child who is convalescing
from scarlet fever should be given
only toys and books that can be
burnt at the conclusion of GONZALES
