POST QUOTES D. G. EE!D AMPTIMIST Publication Refers to Him as Good Prophet on Business Conditions.

In this week's Issue of the Saturday Evening Post, D. G. Reid, formerly of Richmond, is referred to as an excellent business prophet. The article in part follows: Before sailing for Europe this summer Daniel G. Reid, one of the noted financiers of Wall Street, was credited with this observation: "By September I believe general business will be in full swing. Advices from the West convince me that up to this time crop conditions are excellent and that we are going to have one of the most satisfactory harvests in years, unless some unforeseen disaster takes place. Fundamentals of the country are of the soundest, and there are a number

of signs of reviving activity in busi- j ness. Good crops are all the country I

needs for a broad business expansion.

Business men may return to their af-!

fairs with confidence. Politics is no longer a disturbing factor." Mr. Reid's theory is probably the popular one today, at least with the class of wen he represents, which is an influential and exceptionally wellposted class. Nor need it be stated that there is evidence of reviving activity in business, or at least that there has been such evidence. For the moment, in a conspicuous instance that of the iron and steel business it la said that the signs of a moderate reaction are clearly manifest, and that operations which for a brief time approached the limit of production capacity have receded close to ninety per cent, which is adjudged as great a degree of effectiveness as the largest of the corporations can continuously maintain. The United States Steel Corporation is nevertheless in so dire need of workmen that it not only is

advertising for them but is sending;

out solicitors to secure them. Its requirements are said to amount to at least five thousand men. Furthermore, other steel mills and industries are said to be in a similar position and almost clamoring for additional workers. This is held to apply not alone to Pittsburgh, but to Detroit and Cleveland and other places. In many localities the want columns of the newspapers suggest a considerable demand for help of most sorts, while it is of course, commonly known that the requirements of the farming regions of the West are always large at this season, when the crops must be hurridly harvested to prevent rapid deterioration. There is, then, occasion to place emphasis on the part of Mr Reid'e remarks that make the crops the basis for his optimism. Before looking more closely at the crop situation it will be interesting to turn to a field not commonly visited for testimony regarding business conditions a Held stretching to several parts of the country. Correspondence with widely scattered concerns should reveal the true business pulse, especially when the only aim is to make a' true test.

A SIGNIFICANT ORDER. SPRINGFIELD, Ills., Aug. 16. Members of the third battalion of the 23rd IT. S. infantry stationed at Camp Lincoln, are preparing today to return hastily to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, just outside of Indianapolis. The order for the sudden shift came by telegraph and caused much excitement among the men and officers.

It is generally expected here that the men will be ordered South as soon as they have reached their home station.

Several dealers stated that the spring mine shut-downs and the shortage of cars because of the heavy grain crops in the west, perhaps was a great factor in the Increased prices. It is asserted that all cars are being sent West to take care of the corn harvest, the car shortage will be more marked than ever. Pocahontas coal is now $4.25 to $5.00.

BEAUTIFUL DRIVES ; PLANNEFOR PARK Landscape Gardener Sandusky Inspects the New Park and Lake Site.

rry Sandusky, the landscape gardner of Cincinnati, who is employed by the Richmond Park and Lake association to make plans and specifications for th'i plotting of the new park into lots and driveways. The work Is practically completed and the plans will be accepted at the next meeting of the directors of the association. Mr Sandusky is at present surveying thd grounds, and, according to his reports, several beautiful drives have been worked out, and it is now hoped that it will be possible to make them similar to boulevards in the parks of larger cities. The bids for the new concrete dam will be let on August 20. The promoters of the new park believe that when the dam is completed, forming a large lage with fishing, bathing an 1 boating privileges, together with the many fine drives, and the other features, the city will have one of the finest summer resorts in Indiana.

Stag Scenery. "Walter Prichard. Eaton, the dramatic iritic. believes modern dramas are too slaboratel7 staged. In "The Question it Sceneiy" In the American Magazine he says: "After all. it was not the Elizabethins who were stupid because they jould enjoy the drama on a bare stage. It is we who are stupid because we ;annot enjoy the drama unless the itage is littered with 'realistic scen- . sry. We have no faith in our own imtginative powers. It would be a good thing for the drama if all scenery were abolished for the next ten years. Having learned to get along without it. we would perhaps keep it in its proper place for awhile after it returned. Its proper place is as a pictorial and suggestive background to the actors and the play and nothing but a background."

The Magnetic Needle. There are two places on the earth's

While trying to pass a hack at the corner of Seventh and North A streets this morning, the machine driven by Frank Martin of Rushville, Ind., skidded on the wet pavement, and dashed into a telegraph pole, crushing in the front part of the machine, breaking the right front wheel, the steering rod, and springs.

The efficiency of the machine is shown in the latest cleaning of the boilers at the light plant. The accumulation in the pipes was so small 'that where formerly it took two and onehalf days to clean them, one day's time, since the installation of the apparatus, is sufficient to cleanse the tubes. The wear on the engines, the lessened expense for day labor to clean the pipes, and the decreased amount of coal needed, by reason of the reduced friction on the wearing parts of the engine, formerly caused by muddy water, will soon pay for the machine, Mr.
