THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Larger bank clearings, increas
ed railroad earnings, record
breaking steel product ion, in
creased imporls and exports,
shortage of freight ears, lack of
labor and increased immigration,
all point to the remarkable
growth <jf business. There is
no indication of a slaekenin in
the pace.
The moment iiiii is so great
that tho United States presiden
tial campaign did not create ev
en the slightest disturbance.
The steel mills are unable to
take more orders for delivery I his
year and tonnage hooked assures
a steady run well into next year.
Purchasing power of individuals
will be greatly increased when
the record-breaking crops have
been sold ami I lie money comes
back to the producers. Wlnde
«ald business already feels the
impetus this givies to trade, and
retailers later will benefit in the
flame way. The latter now are
busy anj prosperous, and great
er prosperity awaits them.
It has been figured that new
financing, which the railroad i
companies ot tne united stales;
need to do in the near future to
put themselves in position eco
nomically and profitably to han
dle the constantly increasing i
traffic, runs well into the bil
lions. Much extension and olli
ar improvement work is held
back because of a lack of funds
and the inahiltiy of the roads to
obtain money on reasonable
term,*, (ieneral business has been j
increasing so enormously of j
late, an,j tile movement of the!
crops to market is so heavy, that'
1he banks have about all they can !
do to supply funils for these pur
poses. This condition contrasts
in a 111<11*k<*<I way with the over
supply of iiiniii'v and low rales
prevailing a year ago. The de
cision this week of tbe secretaryi
of the treasury' that there was
no present necessity for the gov- j

indicate that the general finan
cial situation is about as funda
mentally sound as it could he
under I he present monetary sys
tem. Incident ally coiidit ions will j
enable the hankers to make up '
some of their losses, suslaied

more horHeless vehicles. But
ihere is nothing stranger than

probably the oddest and newest
thing in the world. There is much
lalk of a revival of old fashions,
but the adorned female never
looked like the thing she- is to

NEW STANIP8 FOR PARCEL8
P08T.
The |>are«ds post law enacted
at Hie last session of congress
goes inlo <>ffect on January 1,
1913. Under the provisions of
the act ordinary postage stamps
cannot be used for the parcels
post.. The PoslolTide department
has therefore made arrangements
for the engraving and printing
of special stamps for tin* pur
pose. The stamps will be larg
er I ban the ordinary and there
will be twelve distinctive de_
signs composing three series.
The lirst series will illustrate
modern methods (if transporta
tion of mail matter, one stamp
showing lh»> mail-car on a rail
way train, another an ocean mail
steamship, a third an automobile
now used in the postal service,
au,| a fourth the despatch of mail
by aeroplane. The second series
will show at work in their sev
eral environment* the four
great elasses of postal employes,
post office clerk's, railway mail
clerks, city letler-carirers, and
rural free-delivery carriers. The
third series will represent four
industrial scenes, showing the
principal sources of the products
1 licit probably will he transport
ed extensively by parcel* post.
The sixty thousand postolTices
throughout the United States will
be amply supplied with the new
stamps before the law takes ef
fect.
HE'S A BEAR
Tin*re is a time in the affairs
of all men when they come in
contact, with the bipi-il with I he
ocrn-fed brain.
Old Colonel Homer, pebble
tongued Democthenes, Micky An
gelo, Billy Shakespeare, Jack
Bach and Tom Edison have
nothing' on this Gink.
His universe is an inflated noo
dle revolving about the axis "1"
Old Pop Atlas left him lu»ir to
his earthly burden.
He is as stubborn as Maud
hitched with her head toward the
dashboard.
When lie carries his ego into
his business, lie is a menace to
any enterprise.
Ho is always sure that ho is
right, like the recruit who de
clared that he was the only man
in (he entire regiment keeping
proper .step.
With his offensive manner
isms, he burdens his fawning in
timates, who must of necessity
be either followers of fools.
He is neither curable or endur
able. He's a hoar.
Does Not Define Poker.
Sp'ingfleld, III.—The Illinois
supreme court does not determ
ine whether poker playing is
"social rest" or "actual work" in
affirming the decision of the
trial court in the case against
Felix Viskniskki, of Carmi, White
coounty, who was found guilty
of renting u building for gamb
ling purposes. In appealing the
case it was construed to bo "so
cial rest." In passing upon this
argument the Supreme Court says
it is not. in a position to determ
ine the question, but afTirins the
judgment of the lower court,
which lined the defendant $15.

Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money is the one who
oreates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an sdvertlsemsnt telling
Its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are oonfldent
It will bring results. Try It.
