THINGS DO BOOM ALONG:— The following editorial is taken ► from Finance, the most conservative banking payer in tiie middle west, and is worth your time and careful consideration: “The continued betterment in fundamental conditions begins to impress itself upon the people generally. Every day sees some industry that has been a laggard wheel into the procession. This is a stimulus that makes for confidence and incites broader op erations. “There is a rising market in all products—in steel, in copper, in lead, ii. zinc and even in.oil. Railroads are moving more traffic and both gross and net earnings are increasing appreciably. “Notwithstading all this, money is still redundant. We are beginning to see the value of the federal ieserve system. The power to expand is veryreal. “The recent sharp liquidation, especially in the war stocks, was merely an incident in a most wonderful situation. "Efforts were made to check a runaway position. The value was probably there all the time. “Sterling exchange is steadier, much to the satisfaction of the international bankers. It looks now’ as if it could be more easily controlled. “Some people who have taken their profits on the up side, endeavor to make themselves believe that the security market has discounted all the favorable features. Prices have advanced all along the line, and in the war stocks’sensationally, but it is impossibly to fully discount the turn from absolute depression to a condition that requires all the energy that we can give. It is impossible to discount the enormous wealth that is pouring the progress we have made in the world's finances. "Stocks have been for sale on advances of late and yet there has been showerful absorbing force under it

lull. It the market will not go down, lit will go up. Professional traders are quick to catch the step, and they can be Counted upon to base their operations on the line of least resistance.” While you are providing tor that Thanksgiving day feast, remember that it is better to- give than to re I ceive and that a dinner to some poor family will bring ten times more joy than spending four dollars for your own satisfaction. Six hundred Indianapolis business men and officials will be the guests of the Rotary club of that city tomorrow night and each will be provided with a telephone receiver, through which he will listen to a concert given in San Francisco. The mayor of Indianapolis will talk t <le mayor of San Francisco, and the gc r::or of California will talk to the governor of Indiana. We of this age are nothing it not progressive, and these Rotary fellows lead all the rest. «———I ■» • What would you think of a merchant who would pull down the blinds of his show window and keep them down or a month? Wouldn’t you say in loud tones, “That fellow’s a dead one and is sounding his own knell in a business way.” It occurs to us that it just ’.-.-hat the business man does who pulls down his advertising for a month or even a week or a day. There is no need for him to do it here for he can reach 15,000 people each day through the columns of the Daily Democrat and can do it at such a low rate that he < au,'t afford to do anything else. Keep the window shades up and your invitation to the public to trade with you constantly before the people and you will reap your share of the prosperity that is sweeping the land. Wake up! A community cannot afford to move backward any more than can an individual. That’s what happens if the traction line is ’junked.” Much depends on the result of the sale of the line in this city tomorrow. The $50,000 handled by this road each year is spent here, while the same amount spent with any other railroad in this city is distributed somewhere else. Did you ever think of it in that way? h makes some difference, and it makes up for any business that slips away from town, we believe. Besides that the one who is patriotic enough to trade at home, will find some means of buying away from home if he wants to. whether we have a traction line or not. What we have never had seems As valuable as what we want. We tire of the old_while the new excites our interests, but it doesn’t always pay. We believe you would miss the traction line and we don't believe that

as a community we can afford to let I it go if reasonable effort will prevent it. I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S CLUB CALENDAR. Monday. Young Woman’s Bible Club—Central School House.
