October O, lU2L BVMNESS CONDITIONS. ■ Some improvement is noted in underlying conditions in the middle west, according to reports compiled , in the Seventh Federal Reserve dist- ( rict. Corn cribs and granaries in the ; corn belt states in the Seventh Federal Reserve District are now parially empty, for the first time in more than a year. The export demand last month and is sill in evidence. Furthermore, the quick response to the last Treasury offering of certificates of indebtedness, in a 20 per cent oversubscription of the original quota assigned to this district, indicates an accumulation of funds. A noticeable step toward normalcy is the readjustment that has taken place in the labor situation. The employment situation shows some improvement, taking the district as a whole. The Landis decision relative tothe building trades labor agreement with the contractors at Chicago has stimulated interest in building at this center. While not yet accepted by all of the Chicago building trane unions, it is believed the decision will clear the way for a satisfactory solution of the present perplexing housing problems in Chicago. Another development is the an jnouncement of a new working agreements by four of the city’s large packing houses affecting their employees, which seems to be acceptable 1 to both employer and employee, and may open the way for clearing up the labor situation in the meat industry. । | These are important factors, hut do 1 not remove all the deterrents in the return to normalcy. The spirit of 1 cooperation manifested by all ele- । ments in working out these problems has been a reassuring influence. | While the market movement of agricultural products continued heavy during last month, thus contributing to the repayment of loans at the । banks, there is complaint on the part of retailers that this movement , has not progressed sufficiently to enable the consumer to liquidate

Kinney, county surveyor and well known woodsman, warns 'against the use of unfamiliar mush।rooms. Poisonous mushrooms are i plentiful, Mr. Kinney says, and it is jofttimes difficult for the amateur to jdistinguish between the edible and poisonous fungi. | “The woods are full of deadly poisonous mushrooms at the present I time” Mr. Kinney said. “I have nevei observed so many. Beware of an mushrooms, the gills of which ar*, white, and remain so. Beware of an mushrooms that have warty-like substances on their caps. Beware of all Oliveri THEATRE South Bend, Ind.

Ancient Ideas About loads. “A toad is a manner of venomous frog,” so an ancient writer informed his readers. “In the right side of each i frog is a bone that cools boiling water if it be thrown into it. and the vessel cannot be reheated unless the bone is first removed. Toads infest sage leaves with their poi-on. It is never safe to eat unwashed sage le ves in consequence. If you put a t- ad into a new earthern pot and bury it in a cornfield, there will be - hurtful tempests or storms there.”
