The fund for cotton for the wounded soldiers of Europe was an even one hundred dollars. It is estimated that four hundred pounds of cotton can be sent for this sum. The work was most creditable. The Christmas season comes next and by the way, it’s only four weeks away. In many cities the slogan is “Do your Christmas shopping before December 15th,” thus leaving you ten days in which to make changes, corrections or additions to the list. The sale of Red Cross stamps is i progressing nicely and there is no doubt that the campaign this year in Adams county will be the most successful'ever waged here. Much interest is being manifested over the county and the various towns and countrydistricts will make a good showing. Use these stamps. They show you are interested and willing to aid it the battle against tuberculosis. The government is buying a lot in this city for the proposed location of a federal building. The third inspector is here to report on the various sites as offered. The matter is of some importance and Mr. MacGregor is desirous of obtaining the views of those interested and disinterested. • showing at least that the officials wish to make no mistake. If you have any views on the subject and care to ex press them, this gentlemen will appreciate them. Five sites have been proposed, all of them fairly good. Which do you prefer and why? The governor of the New York federal reserve bank declared last Tuesday evening, before a remarkable gathering, that the new system “Has already erased the word ‘panic’ from our financial lexicon.” And the New York World says the happy assurance was not lost on the remarkable gathering of nearly 1,700 members of the Merchants’ association who assembled tc express their feeling that the business tide is turning, and their feeling that a “new day” is veritably at hand. What is most to be remarked of so representative an assemblage of New York's banking and mercantile and manufacturing interests was its unanimity of sentiment. The bankers who sulked when they did not fight the passage of the federal reserve law were as enthusiastic about it as th ■ merchants and manufacturers whose credit is to be safeguarded and whose sound expansion is to be supported as never before. And they were equally united in dismissing from further notice the bowlings of ruin from the new tariff. Prosperity is going to stay in the Unitel States. —Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette.
