SLACKENING IN U. S. BUSINESS FEATURE OF JULY ACTIVITIES WASHINGTON, July SO.-Curtll-ment of industrial actiYity due to lower demand, cancellation of wdera and general readjustment were" the outstanding developments in the business of the country during July, the federal reserve board declared in its monthly review. . . " .. "In some districts, however, production continues upon old orders which are still on the books, despite the fact that new business has fallen off,' the review declared. . "In the agricultural regions improved crop conditions and the development and the development of a more confident tone In business we reported to have brought about a turn distinctly for the better. "Speculation in commodities in many parts of the country is reported to have been greatly reduced, in come practically eliminated. There is a general feeling that extravagant buying is at least less extreme and dangerous than it was some time ago." Rail Problem Unsettled. The transportation problem continued unsolved during the month, the review reported, and while some local Improvements were noted there remained great freight congestion, provoking "an undue and unnecessary severe strain on credit." The iron and steel industry "la now placed in a serious condition," according to the review. ; Commenting on the labor situation, the board declares that an increase in the efficiency of labor was "one notable feature" of the month, this improvement being attributed to the development of unemployment in various parts of the country. Coal Production Slow. ' Coal production, the review asserted, also, is hampered by car shortage. While local labor troubles were said to be causing an undercurrent of unrest in some districts. The coal output in Pennsylvania, West Virginia Indiana, Ohio and Illinois was est! mated at one-half or less of normal. Prospects of a winter and . spring wheat yield "considerably above normal," were reported by the Minneapolis district, while the Pacific coast reports forecast a yield of 10,000,000 more bushels of spring wheat than In J919. The St. Louis district, however, said that the wheat there was low in quantity but high in quality, while thi Kansas City district predicted a big vtiA CHher croos. including corn. oats and cotton were reported as having improved. Live Stock Conditions O. K. " Livestock conditions were said by the board to be exceptionally good the Country over, with prices generally higher, except for sheep. The raw wool market,, however, continued its characteristic inactivity, which has lasted several weeks. In the woolen and worsted goode industry the board found the yarn spin ners receiving few inquiries for their products, with conditions equally discouraged for finished textiles. Slackening in activity in cotton goods also was reported. Many mills declared their cotton supplies were sufficient to last until next year, and the board's review said the chances seemed to favor a further reduction of activity in the industry. Leather Trade Off. Little Improvement in the leather and shoe trade was noted during the month, with New England manufacturers further curtailing operations. The manufacturers however, were said to anticipate a brisk autumn business due to belated orders. The board reported Improved financial conditions, asserting that the New York district had noted that the bis expansion of loans and discounts had been "wholly checked," with other districts declaring this condition had been "largely checked." News of Railroad and Industrial Workers Retired employes of the Pennsylvania railroad, who were members of the voluntary relief during their service, will receive an additional pension from the voluntary relief. This action was decided after a recent meeting of the voluntary relief at Pittsburgh. The payment is based upon length of time men were members. The rate that they will receive monthly Is computed in cents by the multiplication of months they were members of the organization by the class of insurance they carried. There are five clases of insurance. The voluntary relief department Is 30 years old and the charter members and men with more than 25 years' membership will receive substantial monthly checks. This is expected to become effective Kept. 1. SAY "DIAMOND DYES" Don't streak or ruin your materia in a poor dye. Insist n "Diamond Dyes." Easy directions in package. "FREEZ0NE" Lift Off Corns!

George White The selection "of former Congressman George White of Marietta, O.. as chairman of the Democratic national committee Is hailed by partisans of Got. Cot as a piece of clever political strategy. Had Cox ordered the retention of Homer S. Cummlnga as national chairman he would by that act alone have alienated many anti-Wilson Domocrats; for Cummings has been very close to the administration I J jKS J for some years. MjPi Had Cox on the ouier nana got me Job for Ed Moore, his pre-convention ITC manager, he would have won thereby the active enmity of the Anti-Saloon League. By choosing White, a prominent dry, Cox has placated a very large element of the electorate, namely, the prohibition element. The choice of White means that Cox himself will lay down the broad lines of policy for the conduct of the

campaign. This does not mean that White is without convictions of his own; it means that, having worked in close association with Cox In Ohio state politics for many years, he will now be quite likely to defer to the wishes of hia chief. Mr. White, who is 48, was born and reared in Elmira, N. Y. He graduated from Princeton university while President Wilson was a professor. He went to the Klondike for two years. Later he entered the oil business and made a fortune in oil drilling. He was assistant to Mr. Moore in Gov. Cox's campaign. He represented the fifteenth Ohio congressional district In congress three terms. Previously he had served in the Ohio legislature. Easthaven Farm is Busy; Cottage Building Delayed Much activity is at present marking farm work at Easthaven, according to superintendent Pr. S. E. Smith. Over 100 acres of wheat are being cut, and yielding about 27 bushels to the acre. This, said Dr. Smith, is much better than the average farmer la getting. In the entire grounds belonging to the institution there axe 1,050 acres. About 700 acres are used for providing food for the 890 inmates. A large herd of cattle is maintained which furnishes all of the dairy products. Many acres Q

Since that time the Institution has made all of its own flour, and some for the neghbors. Two cottages have been under construction on the farm for housing employes, but shortage of material has cause some delay. Both the men and women's departments In the hospital are practically filled. According to Dr. Smith there are about the same number of each sex.
