Indianapolis Business News Trade Forecasts and Comment on Local Market Conditions.

By Rader Wlnget i< ENERAL business condiIC ll t f° ns Indiana for companies selling farm implements has increased 20 to 26 per cent in the past twelve months,” R. C. Foster, assistant manager of the local branch of the International Harvester Company, said today Prosperity is increasing and includes not only our own State but the United States as well, Foster said. “The peak year for the farm implement companies will be reached In 1927 and will continue for several years before the inevitable slump starts,” says S. K. Miller, general manager of the American Seeding Company. Business with the farm machinery manufacturing companies is a good reflector of the real condition of the farmer. When (he farmer ia prosperous the manufacturing companies find their business increasing.

USINESS with these firms moves in the regular seven year cycle. The years of 1918-19-20 were the so-called “peak” years for the ipdustry. Since that time conditions have not been so good but the present year finds a substantial jump over the preceding twelve months. Two more years will find the farmers In the midst of another prosperity era. The reason for the business increase of this year over last, was in the price boost on a great many staple articles; Hogs have been $1.60 to $2 higher than last year. Small production was responsible for this condition. High wheat Is another factor that tends to bring the farmers more money. Miller anticipates no drop in the wheat price, even if the crop is Increased. Oats have not been instrumental In bringing larger returns to the farmer. Ui'T*l ’f THE present time local | business conditions are in LmmJ a slump because of the holiday season,” says A. Connell, office manager of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works. Farmers are using all extra money for the purchase of gifts and other seasonal Items. Farmers do most of their buying of agricultural implements in the fall and spring. Only spreaders are sold In any great volume In winter and summer. The Southern Railway reports the largest net income, after taxes have been deducted, for the first ten months of 1925 over any other corresponding period in the history of the company. Gross revenue for October Increased 8.97 per cent as compared with an increase of 4.45 per cent for the first ten months of this year. mN SOLVENCIES in the United States for November says R. G. Dunn and Company, numbered 1,672 with liabilities of $35,922,421. These figures contrast with 1,581 similar defaults in October, with an indebtedness of $29,543,870 and 1,653 for November, 1924, owing $31,123,910. With the exception of November, 1924, Insolvencies last month were the lowest since November, 1920. The increase this year over November, 1924, Is trifling being only 1 per cent. The increase last month over the preceding month was 5.8 percent but such a gain In November is usual as the end of the year approaches. NEWSBOY CROSSING U. S. “Wandering” Willie Williams. 27, crippled newsboy on his way to Salt Lake City his sister’s home, reached Indianapolis today. Williams left his home Newport News, Va., two years ago and has sold papers in towns en route.

I HE peninsula of Italy dips down into the blue waters of - A I the Mediterannean like a tall high-heeled boot, walking off towards Spain and kicking along the island* of Sardinia and Sicily in its path’ The very top of the boot is rimmed with the snowy peaks of the Alps, and handsomely bejeweled with bright lakes—Maggiore. Lugano, Iseo, and Garda. Here also lies the flat fertile valley of the Po, richest of farm land. The leg of our boot is ridged by the Apennine Mountains, and scattered along its length are the plains of Tuscany, the Campagna dl Roma, Apulia, and the fertile Campania near Naples. On the Adriatic side lies the misplaced “spur’’ of Mt. Gargano. partially inclosing the Gulf of Manfredonia; while in the hollow of the foot lies the deeply Indented Gulf of Taranto. Many short rapid streams dart down the mountain slopes, but the chief rivers besides the Po are the Adige, Arno, Volturno, and the tawny-sanded Tiber, the historic river of Rome. Our “hoot” Is 700 miles long and 350 miles wide. Its area is about twice that of Illinois while in population it ranks fifth among the states of Europe—-

Lake Como in Italy

next after France. In climate it ranges from the ice-bound Alps and chilly winters of the north, through a sunny mellow phase, to a nearly tropical warmth in the southernmost section where orange and lemon trees grow abundantly, und the hills are “o’er smoked by the faint gray olive trees.” So blue are the skies and so bright and warm the air of most of the peninsula, so pleasant the life and so storied the soil, that poets have sung of Italy for centuries, and travelers return and return again. In fact, Italy stands today somewhat in the position of a fair dramatic masquerader, who has played such a romantic part that people dislike to lift the mask and look upon the well-known workaday features of modern humanity. They want to think of Italy as the home of ancient Roman ghosts, of gorgeous medieval princelings, of black politics in brilliant days, -of artists and singer and dreamers. They are so bemused by her glowing art and radiant sunshine that they have almost Ignored the strivings of her people today, in many ways finer than the loud greedy squabbles of Romans and Carthaginians, of Guelfs and Ghibellines, of Spaniards and French, in the long ago. Caesar’s voice speaks clearer than Garibaldi’s to most people still. Perhaps they feel thus because Italy has been a free nation-*- has had a vital present and a hopeful future —for so long a time. She emerged from division and foreign misrule only as late as 1870. The Lombard invasions and the rise of the Papal States broke the unity of Italy in the early middle ages. Since then emperors and popes. Kings of Naples, and dukes of Milan had dreamed In turn of restoring the “Kingdom of Italy.” but its five chief powers—Venice and Florence, Milan and Naples, and the Pope—rarely united of their own accord. France and Spain made Italy a battleground of bloody rivalry and the substitution of Austria, following the French revolution as the Chief controlling power—with Venice and Lombardy directly in her rule —made the outlook yet more gloomy. As Metternlch, the Austrian statesmen, truly said. Italy had become "only a geographical expression."

and permitted to be on the field, but he objects to working with a threat dangling over his head. Association officials today worked out their 1926 baseball schedule, based on 168 games, and President Thomas Hickey expected the program to be adopted before evening. Player Limit Changes According to the new player limit rule, the clubs will be allowed twen-ty-five players until June 1, when the squads are to be pared to twenty. From Sept. 1, to the end of the season they will be allowed twentyfive players to give them an opportunity to try out rookies. Last year the A. A. player limit permitted eighteen veterans and two rookies and the change will allow each club to have twenty veterans. The new limit merely throws off the rookies stipulation. Some clubs will have rookies, of course, but they must be counted In the twenty. It is said a few owners favored a rule allowing twenty veterans and any number of rookies. A rule designed to apply to the Sunday baseball laws In Minnesota and Indiana was adopted. The rule | gives the umpires power to stop games at 5:45, even if only seven [ Innings have been played. Last August, after Manager Bush of the Indianapolis team had a runin with Umpire FlnnerAn, he was suspended Indefinitely by President I Hickey. Bush was accused of using profane language. Later Hickey I took the case to Mike Sexton, prosit I dent of the National Association or | Professional Baseball Leagues, and ' Bush was suspended for six playing months and then permitted to manage “on probation.” Heavy Penalty Unusual Many baseball men said Sexton had no Jurisdiction in the case and accused Hickey of getting "cold feet.” No blows were struck during Bush’s fuss with the umpire, and the baseball world wns surprised at the severe penalty handed the Hoosler manager, in view of the fact players on other A. A. team* took punches at umpires and got off with light punishment. It Is known Bush is not in a mood to wait much longer for the suspended sentence to be lifted and close friends are of the opinion he will resign his post at Indianapolis If action In his favor Is not taken at this meeting or at the minor league session In California in January. Bush has not “exploded,” but if he does President Hickey may find a battle on his hands that will be taken before Judge high commissioner of all baseball.
