BUSINESS REVIVING.
r SAY REPORTS COMING
BELGIANS SPEED RE CONSTRUCTION IN WAR RAVAGED LAND
Business in. moet scctiots of tho United States ia reviving. It may approach normal this autumn, but real prosperity In all sections and industries is unlikely to return for one. or two years. These conclusions follow an exhaustive investigation of fundamental Business conditions throughout the United StatM which has just been completed by President W illiam B. Joyce Df the National Surety company. The investigation involved the sending of an elaborate questionnaire covering more- than thirty aspects of the country's present business problems to men 3f business and financial prominence In almost every large city and every state in the union. Farm Products Below Cost. The answers show clearly that, al
though general business in most parts V
3i me L-nnea stales is reviving ana may approach normal this autumn, real ound prosperity may not return in some communities and industries for is long as one to two years. Real prosperity will return to this country, practically all the business and finan:ial men who answered the questionaaire agree: j 1. When farm, ranch and mineral products can again be sold for at least ;he cost of production. A large part 5f several of last year's entire national Dutput of raw products is still held in Warehouses for higher. prices or now n process of being sold at a serious oss. 2. When railroads can be operated jn freight rates low enough to permit shippers to sell their merchandise at i profit. 3. When lahrtr a ffain penerallv
peaking, will do a minimum day's
work, in full co-operation with employers on a readjusted wage. 4. When readjusted retail commodity prices permit wage earners to live selfrespectedly upon such readjusted
wages. 5. When the post-war unemployed class find and settle down into permanent usefulness. Labor Troubles Decrease. Reasons for optimism, mentioned by the merchants, bankers and manufacturers, in their questionnaire answers, are: 1. Money, both here and abroad, is now much easier than during the last two years. 2. The. reserve ratio of the federal reserve is steadily increasing. 3. Labor difficulties in some states seem to be decreasing and the workers seem to be readily co-operating in readjustment by earnestly rendering efficient service, notwithstanding reduction In wages.
4. The probable favorable outcome of President Harding's approaching disarmament conference. 5. The hopeful possibility of lower freight, rates. 6. The nation-wide economy policy of government, corporations and the general public. 7; The possibility that farmers and stockmen may be able to sell a good part of their products on good terms this autumn and that they will liquidate their debts. This will materially benefit manufacturers, bankers, merchants and wage earners.

round him in the university town, and eventually he was compelled to resign ,
his chair and to come down to London, where he set np as an army coach. So much is known to the world, but what I am telling you now is what I have myself discovered. "As you are aware, Watson, there is no one who knows the higher criminal world of London so well as I do. For years past I have continually been conscious of some power behind the malefactor, some deep organizing power which forever stands in the way
of the law, and throws its shield over
the wrong-doer. Again and again in cases of the most varying sorts forgery cases, robberies, murders 1 have felt the presence of this force, and I have deduced its action m many of those undiscovered crimes in which I

PLANS AT EARLHAM
INCLUDE GOLF LINKS FOR COMING SEASON
Earlham is to have a golf course as
a part of the athletic equipment for
the coming year, according to an an
nouncement made Monday morning by
Miss Clar?. Comstock, director of worn
en athletics at the college. The
course will be laid out over the coun-! try club course west of the college and for the present will consist of six holes. Permission for the use of the ground by the colle?e has been obtained from William Bradbury. The project has been under consideration by Miss Comstock for some time, the main difficulty lying in finding a suitable location for the links. The old country club course is still in fair shape and boosters of the proposition at the college intend to start the work o making the Improvements and laying out the course at once. Students Are Interested. A large number of the student body and the faculty have signified their interest in the enterprise. The work is expected to become especially popular with the women of the colleee
and It will, probably become a part of their regular athletic work. j It is understood that the expense! of the enterprise will be taken care of' by the college. It is not expected that much new material will be needed at' first and the greens will be kept in j share along with the other athletic; ground of the college.
PART ONE It Is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavored to give some account ofmy strange experiences in his company from the chance which first brought us together at the period of the "Study in Scarlet." It was my intention to have stopped, and to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however bv the recent letters in which
Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred. I alone know the absolute truth of the matter, and I am satisfied that the
time has come when no good purpose is to be served by its suppression. As far as I know, there have been only three accounts in the public press: that in the Journal de Geneve on May 6. 1S91, the Reuter's dispatch in the English papers on May 7, and finally the recent letters to which I have alluded. Of these the first and second were extremely condensed, while the last is, as I shall now show an absolute perversion of the facts. It lies with me to tell for the first time what really took place between Professor Moriarty and Mr. Sherlock Holmes. It may be remembered that after my marriage, and my subsequent start in private practice, the very intimate relations which had existed between
Holmes and myself became to some ' extent modified. He still came to me from time to time when he desired a companion in his investigations, but these occasions grew more and more seldom, until I find that in the year 1S!)0 there were only three cases of which I retain any record. During the winter of that year and the early spring of 1S91. 1 saw in the papers that he had been engaged by tne French government upon a matter of
supreme importance, and I received two notes from Holmes, dated from Narbonne and from Ximes, from which I gathered that his stay in Francs was likely to be a long one. It was with some surprise therefore, that I say him walk into my consulting-room upon the evening of April 24. It struck me that he was looking even paler and thinner than usual. "Yes. I have been using myself up rather too freely," he remarked, in answer to my look rather than to my words; "I have been a little pressed of late. Have you any objection to my , closing your shutters?" j The only light in the room came; from the lamp upon the table at which ' I had been reading. Holmes edged his way round the wall, and flinging the
shutters together, heibolted them securely. ' "You are afraid ofiisomething?" I asked. ,
"Well, I am." "Of what?" "Of air-guns."

mean?" "I think that you knosr me well enough, Watson, to undetstand that I am by no means a nertcus man. At the same time, it is stiqiidity rather than courage to refuse -.to recognize danger when it is clos4 upon you. Might I trouble you for- a match?" He drew in the smoke of Jiis cigarette as if the soothing influence was grateful to him. "I must apologize for calling so
ate, said he, "and I must further beg you to be unconventional as to allow me to leave your house presently by scrambling over your back garden wall." "But what does it all pnean?" I asked. He held out his hand, and I saw in the light of the lamp that tvo of his knuckles were burst and bleeding. "It's not an airy nothing, -you see," said he, smiling. "On the cemtrary. it i3 solid enough for a man to ibreak his hand over. Is Mrs. Watson in?"
"She is away upon a visit.
"Indeed! You are alone?" "Quite." "Then it makes it the easier; for me to propose that you should come away with me for a week to the Continent." "Where?" "Oh, anywhere. It's all the same to me." There was something very strange in
The oldest couple to apply for a marriage license this year strolled into County Clerk Meredith's office Saturday afternoon. Aaron P. Money,
C5 years old. and Rebecca Spencer, 75 years old, both of Dublin, declared their intentions of becoming husband and wife. Judge W. A. Bond performed the ceremony in his office immediately following the procuring of the license.
and the couple returned to Dublin, where they will reside. Both have been married before.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Urbain Ledoux announced today that one un

all this. It was not Holmes's nature to
take an aimless holiday, and some
thing about his pale, worn face told
me that hi3 nerves were at their high
est tension. He saw the question in my eyes, and putting his finger-tips together and his elbows upon his knees, he explained the situation. "You have probably never heard of Professor Moriarty?" said he. "Never." "Aye, there's the genius and the wonder of the thingl" he cried. "The man pervades London, and no one has heard of him. That's what puts him on a pinnacle in the records of crime. I tell you, Watson, in all seriousness, that if I could beat that man. if I could free society of him, 1 should feel that my own career had reached its summit, and I should be prepared to turn to some more placid line in life. Between ourselves, the ie-?fit tas s in which I have been cf assist ance to the "oyal family of Scandinavia, and tov the French republic, have left me in such a position that I could continue to live in the quiet fashion which is most congenial to me, and to concentrate my attention upon my chemical researches. But I could not rest, Watson, I could not sit quiet in my chair, if I thought that such a man as Professor Moriarty were walking the streets of London unchallenged." "What has he done, then?" "His career I.as been an extrarodinary one. He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by natrue with a phenomenal mathe
matical faculty. At the age of twenty-j
