provement over the closing months of 1927, and thU improvement has continued, It has been evident in manufacturing, in steel production, carloading, automobile production, building contracts and sales of goods to consumers. All of this is evidence althat buying [lower has been sustained and that, on the whole, satisfactory employment conditions have prevailed. ‘Prices in basic industries have not been unduly high and have remained fairly stable, nor does there seem to be any immediate danger of excessive demand sending prices to such high levels as to make a slump in activity and, consequently, prices, inevitable. In the industrial world, conditions seem to he on an even keel, and it is much better to have them so, with a slight upward tendency, a at present. “In the financial world, there i sufficient money available for legitimate undertakings. A considerable amount of gold has been exported luring the past year. But it has not seriously impaired our credit resources while, at the same time, it ha helped to establish gold standard more firmly in Europe and to stabilize foreign currencies with resulting benefits to our import and export trade. “Insofar as tne government is eon corned, the finances arc in a sound condition. The debt has been reduced to manageable proportions; the revenues are ample for our needs, and during the past year there ha been another reduction < f taxes, the full benefit of which will be more generally felt during the coming year. “For all of these reasons, I look forward with confidence to continued progress in the year ahead.”

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. (UP) Herbert Clark Hoover will be elected President of the United States tomorrow under the cumbersome official machinery of the electoral college, as specified in the United Stat - constitution. In the IS states the b.'il elector named in the November <i , lection will meet and cast their ballots, lit for Hoover and *7 for Alfred Emnnur! Smith, for certification to Cong less. In a separate ballot, divided exactly the same way, Charles Curtis of Kansas will be elected vice-president over Joseph Robinson of Arkansas. The ballots will be ceremoniously 1 opened and counted Wednesday, Feb 11J, before a joint session of congress | held in the hall of the House of RepQ re-entative . In the enrl' d.i\ of tie i ■ ■ m the electors ran as persons, not always committed to any particular candidate for the presidency, as was intended by the fiamers of the Con- ; stitution. This device wa- placed n the constitution to prevent direct j (choice of the executive by popular! vote, which was feared by some of the Founders. Now, however, the electors are mere figure-heads classified under the name of the candidates nominated by (the party conventions. The position of elector formerly was a juicy bit of political party patronage, for it carried with it a trip to Washington at federal expense to east the vote. Now the votes are sent by mail, for some , years required each state to send a special messenger. The recent act of congress also | laid down a more complete procedure | for today's vote. Under it, the vie- | torious slate of electors meet in ■ me | city of each state, generally the capital, and cast their votes six times fer president and similarly for the vicepresident. One of these six sets of ballots is sent to Vice-President Dawes, as president of the U. S. Senate. Two are sent to the state secretary of state, two to the Secretary of State at Washington, and one to the federal Judge of the local district. The senate at 1 p. m. on the second Wednesday in February, nceord3g ing tj law, will join the House in s< ■

Another Year Has

Drawn to

( T |WE1AH; months atfo we looked forward to 192<S with new hopes, new aspirations, new ideals and desires. Now we look back over the year to take inventory of what we have done so that we may check it against what we hoped to do. Nineteen twenty nine opens a new cycle during which we may do our bit toward assisting those we serve to make greater use of the electric service. Our New Year’s resolution is “Satisfactory electric service twenty fom hours every day during 1929.” Wabash Valley Electric Co.
