W v.?:- RUMANIA NEXT? 4 •~£ji German statistician has estimated that the belligerents are spending $*75,000,000 a week. On that estimate theyear of war has cost 111,600,000,000. Another German statistician put the totyl at $15,006,000,000. These estimates do not take Into consideration the loss of property upon land aiid sea,-nor the loss in trade to neutrals
This war has had mere spectacular battles than any other. That was to be expected. It also has stimulated man's wits. The Germans have been \j the most prolific in the employment of new methods, the submarine war being the most prominent and the one with the greatest potentiality of Anally imbroiling the United States.
Historians are agreed that the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand in Sarajevo Bosnia, on June 28, 1914, while the imme diate cause of the war, wis not the determining influence. Europe had been on the edge of the precipice for a decade. Perhaps the chief underlying factor was the development of the national idea, demanding that political 'divisions should be made to correspond with the territory ^inhabited by the various peoples of Europe that each .. people, with common language and customs, should have political independence and a "place in the sun." s- The struggle tS attain this kept Europe |gi in political turmoil. France aspired for Alsace and Lorraine Italy for is
Triest and the Trentino, populated largely by Italians Serbia for Bosnia Si^Rumania for Transylvania and Besip^sarabia. Austria Hungary, wi'.hin whose boundary is a complexity of ip*1 races with varying claims and aspi- &. Ijrations. was particularly menaced by the growth of this ideavand it was one phase of this agitation—Serbia's desire for Bosnia—which brought on the. crisis. The same motive brought in
Montenegro and Italy, and influenced Russia and France to go to war. The end is not in sight. Determinatiori to pursue the war to a decisive jBtftfing has been expressed by high offlcials of all the belligerent nations, 2 preparations are being made for next y- winter's campaign, and, in fact, indlcations from Europe are that it is more likely to increase in size rather than decrease. It is still an open question
I whether Bulgaria, Rumania or Greece will be drawn in.

couraging. Railway earnings are getting larger, and the same is true for the revenues of the telephone and telegraph companies. Steel, coke, coal and pig iron are more in demand, and cotton consumption is in excess of that for the same period last year. Building is one of the few basic industries which does not fall in with the general trend toward greater activity. Crop reports are all that can be desired, though summer floods may mar the record in some localities. At the same time conditions abroad have put our country in a commanding, if not in the leading financial position. Any great development here will necessarily wait on that settling of world conditions which alone can make the industrial future reasonably predictable. Meanwhile the United States is growing all the time—slowly, it is true, but with the solidity of an oak. One very interesting proof of this is speculation in war, near-war, and may-be war stocks. "Uncurbed insecurities" seems a fit description. All these facts show that the material basis is here for whatever advance we are capable of making. There never was a time in our history when business leadership had so extensive a Arid as it has today.
THE RAINY DAY.
One of the leading Chicago bankers in an address to the Illinois assocla tion, a few days ago urged that the people be encouraged through the newspapers to save their money. He advanced reasons that lead to some pertinent thinking. He said that there are two good reasons why everybody should exert himself to have a little more money now than commonly. A purely selfish reason is that saving now counts more than saving during ordinary times. A dollar saved now will yield larger returns than a dollar saved two or three years ago, and more probably than a dollar saved two or three yesws Un the future. Moriey saved now can be Invested with as much safety as Is humanly achievable so as to bring in 6 per cent or more. A few years ago savings Invested in securities of similar strength would yield only 3 per cent. When this war is over the world is going to be very poor. Persons who have any money at all are going to be relatively rich. Those who save now will possess the world later on. Another reason for saving now is that it is the best thing non-combatant can do to help the world from the fate that Is being brought upon It by the war. Accumulated savings are the basis of civilization. Out of accumulated savings hospitals are founded, railroads are built, and new, discoveries in science are made possible. The accumlated saving of the world, in so far as they exist in Europe, are being destroyed as fast as possible. By this destruction the world will be set back inevitably. Any American, liylng outside the zone of general destruction, who saves money now will help by so much to counteract this setback of civilization.
TOEING THE MARK.
In the remote townships of the state there have been cases where the township trustees have fallen victims to the connivance and persuasion of grafting salesmen, to their eventual disgrace and to the pecuniary loss to the community. it has been a case of unscrupulous men matching their wits against others not drilled In business matters and the result is usually a muddled township trustee's office and trouble. The state board of accounts proposes to stop all this in a very simple way. Every trustee has been given a price list guide of supplies.
These officials will be advised, if possible, to buy In their local market under competitive bids and that only such bills will be approved and passed by the field examiners as come within the prices set out in the price list guide. This price list guide will be of benefit, not only to the purchasing agent and local dealer, but it will restrain the corrupt agent who in the past has spent more time and thought in influencing the office holder to violate his oath and trust, than he has devoted to legitimate business.
It is cause for satisfaction to the state board of accounts and the field examiners that, through the examination of the officers who have been taught to do wrong, most of the recoveries made recently, on account of their wrong doing have been furnished by. corrupt supply agencies and dishonest contractors and the graft and thefts made good by the parasites who have profited most.
There is at this time under preparation for general distribution a codification of all laws affecting the duties of county commissioners and township trustees. These officials are the fiscal agents of the people for the county and township. Under our elective system, they are representative men of the community, chosen to fill these im-

portant offices from the farm,^ the workshop and other honorable avocacation. They are often without large business experience or knowledge of what will be required of them in the administration of their new offices. The codified laws will furnish the necessary Information and legal constructions will enable them to so inform themselves that they may fill these important offices with credit to themselves and to the pecuniary advantage of the community.

When Suffrage Hit Prairieton
(Communicated.)
We wua just a livin' contented like, We wuz boostin' up the place, And everything wuz prosperin' some
But now it's not the case. The suffragists came down one day An' told our wimmen fancy stuff, An* organized a suffrage club
An' started lots o' other guff. No longer do we sit and loaf Aroun' the general store, For we must stay at home and cook
An' sew forevermore. Our dinner bells is rung no more By a feminine hand, For we hev to call them to eat
Tl«e stuff that's cooked and canned. The nails that graced our fence Have found a place o' rest The top of our pantaloons
Just below the vest. Oh. posh, I wisht them suffragists Would o' let our town alone. Then we'd never have to learn to cook
Ancl try to sew our own. -MRS. E, .H. K.

The Danger of lirutations
OHIO druggist writes to "The Practical Druggist," a prominent Sew York
Drug Journal, as follows! ^fPlease furnish formula for Castoria. All the. formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer. To this "The Practical Druggist" replies: "We do not supply formulas for. proprietary articles. We couldn't if we wanted to. Your experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair of right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name. .,
No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signar ture of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria.
