HEADS OF BIG FIRMS SEE GOOD

Business Generally In Fair Shape, With Signs Indicating Increase /In Near Future.

'Indications seen by representative manufacturers of Terre Haute showthat the city will not suffer from depressed business conditions during the winter, it was learned Saturday. Although the European war has caused some expressions of uncertainty in different lines, the opening of the federal fc reserve banks has created a confident feeling among the manufacturers, Terre

Haute business men say. At the North Baltimore glass factory it was reported that nearly the entire force is working. This factory is devoted largely to the manufacture of beer bottles, and the business Is reported to be exceptionally good for this time of the year. There are 750 men working at the plant. "The recent victory of the wet forces In Ohio has served to increase business considerably," said A. L. Pfau, president of the company. "Business has been unusually good In the last two weeks. We expect to be working 950 men within the neoct two or three weeks. Of course our big shipments don't come until the spring, but we are doing a good business now." 'j\ All to Increase Foroos. -^raa reported at other glass fcLCtorles In Terre Haute that business 1 was about normal. Although the full forces are not being used at an of the plants it is expected that the number of men will be Increased at the factorles within the next month. *1 On account of the heavy export trade gpLj which the Standard wheel works carI,'v rles on with big automobile and buggy manufacturers there has been a decrease within the last few months. ^"'s The same condition Is true in other cities where the wheel factories are located, it to reported. The first of ,:1 the year 1* expected to bring about better conditions. "Business Is very much reduced Just at. present," said Carl D. Fischer, manager of the plant. "This, however, is true in the wheel business all over the country. At the present we are working 150 men, but we expect to be able to increase this force after the first of the year."

Normal business Is reported at the Columbian Enameling and Stamping §p works. Much of the- company's wares 5f| axe Bhipped for foreign trade and it

c.[.

\vas thought that the plant would be greatly affected by the war, but the business has been very good conslder1 ing the conditions. Although the full force has not been working, the busl4 ness Is expected to warrant the use of if additional employes by the first of the year.

Frank Prox & Co., manufacturers of mining machinery, are using more than *\100 men at the plant and keeping them busy. This time of the year is considSred to be dull for the mining machineVy manufacturers, but despite thte.the full force is working. "We can^^ay that business has been the best thai we have ever had, but it is good," said Herman Prox. "We are working 100 men and keeping them -busy. We can't tell anything about the prospects for the coming year, but we believe they will be better."

Grade Pupils Entertain.

By Special Correspondent. HYMERA, Ind., Nov. 21.—The grade pupils here, from one to eight, inclusive, gave an entertainment, "A Dream of Fairyland,* 'at the Hymera opera house, Friday evening. The program was excellent and well rendered. A good house was In attendance. The proceeds go to the grades to purchase a musical instrument.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED.

JACKSONWALD, Pa., Nov. 21.— Warren Rhoads, a farmer of this place, says hereafter he will carefully examine would-be-empty whisky barrels before he tries to alter the bungholes. He came to this conclusion after one exploded when he attempted to enlarge the bunghole with a redhot poker. Most of his hair was burned off and many cuts and bruises resulted. Investigation proved that the barrel had besn recently emptied, was still wet, and the redhot Iron forme*so much gas inside that it burst with a crash.

LIBRARY NOTES.

"The Case of Belgium in the Present War," is an account of the violation of the neutrality territory, published by the Belgian delegates to the United States.

Three new books on social problems by Scott Nearing are among the new books of the week. "Wages in the United States—19081910," is a study of state and federal wage statistics.

Another book by Nearing on economic problems is entitled, "Reducing the Cost of Living."

In the book entitled "Social Adjustment" the author makes the following points: 1. "That mal-adjustment exists In numerous virulent forms, In many parts of the United States. 2. "That mal-adjustment is due to economic causes, involving social cost, and remediable through social action. 3. "That mal-adjustment can be, and in many Instances Is being eliminated by efficient education plus wise remedial legislation. 4. "That the vast majority of children are born normal and are made abnormal, degenerate, and diseased by their defective environment. 5. "That recent investigations demonstrate concljosively that the piwportion of genius, mediocrity, and defect does not vary materially from one social class to another, and hence all are capable of the same uplift. 6. "That progress is impossible so long as society maintains the fatalistic viewpoint which condemns men because of the sins of the fathers and is blind to the transgressions of the brothers. 7. "Finally, that it Is through the promulgation of the new view of the universality of human capacity, the remediability of mal-adjustment, and the advantages of universalized opportunity, that mal-adjustment will eventually he eliminated and adjustment secured."

New fiction for the week includes: "The Gay and Festive Claverhousc,"' (French) "One Clear Call," (Greene) "The New Clarion," (Harben) "The Clean Heart," (Hutchinson) "Kent Knowles Quahany," (Lincoln) "Martha and Cupid," (Lippmann) "Asliton Kirk—Special Detective," (Mclntyre) "The Ward of Tecumseh," (Marriott) "Selina," (Martin) "The Poet," (Nicholson).

WHHMOtUN MAKES HONEY OUT OF "FADS'

Finds Cultivation of Both Pampas Grass and Spineless Cactus Profitable.

Loe ANGBLE8, Cal., Nov. *.—*That so-called fads in farming can be made to pe.y big profits has been proved by Mrs. H. W. R. Strong on her 220-acre ranch near Whlttier. Mrs. Strong is one of the best Informed scientific agriculturists in California.

A few years ago Mrs. Strong became interested In pampas graes—the grass on which South Ameican cattle feed and fatten. She thought it might be raised in Southern California. She tried it and foand she was right. Then she bordered the driveway between her home and the road with pampas grass and pomegranate trees. The grass grew tall—taller than the trees. It plumed amazingly until, one day, Mrs. Strong discovered that Berlin was paying $1,000,000 for pampas grass plume* to be used aa decorations, and London about half as much. This led her to believe there might be a market nearer home. There was, and it paid her $7,000 in two ears.

A year ago last August Mrs. Strong bought 1,050 spineless Aacti largely as an experiment, and set them out on the ranch. The plants cost her $300. Since then Bplneless cactus have advanced in price. Mrs. Strong's cacti have grown amazingly, and recently a buyer estimated their value at close to $16,000. Mrs. Strong admits that she has had several offers to sell at fancy prices, but she has refused them all.

Incidentally Mirs. Strong investigated the food value of the pampas grass, having It analyzed by Dr. Harvey Wiley, who reported it to be more nutritious for cattle than alfalfa or clover and second only to eastern timothy.

Similarly she has investigated the food value of spineless cactus, finding It is somewhat less nutritious for cattle than alfalfa, the difference In tons being 16 of cacti as aganlst 12 of alfalfa but finding also that It is a balanced food for hogs—In other words that hogs will fatten on It if given no other food. The cactus today, however, is far too expensive for cattle fodder, having a much greater value for planting purposes, with the demand being constantly in excess of the supply.

Jumped at Conclusions.

Beetles—Heavens, man! that wasn't a collector you threw out then—he was a customer.

Waller—It was the second time I saw him here. A customer never comes here more than once.—Chicago News.
