Rather huge loans to commercial firms and also governmental advances are under way. They appear to be retarded only by the courtesy of their sponsors in awaiting the actual offering of the German loan provided under the Dawes plan. Credits arranged for German firms during the past three weeks are surprisingly large and of course pronounced stimulation in domestic business appears inevitable. Westward and sotuhward, farm prices are of greater concern. $ BUSINESS. Up. Once upon a time we were too proud to fight, but now we appear too proud to do business. We do not want Russias gold, and yet we appear to have agitators who are daily confronting us with foreign big business and that it is of the utmost importance that this country gets its share. Russia is good enough for England and the other countries to do business with, but we have drawn a line of which Russia must meet before we allow the Russian Bear in our midst again. Russia wanted to purchase silver and have a large amount of silver currency issued in the U. S. A., but the negotiations were brought to a sudden stop because of the attitude of our state department.

People should vote just the opposite of what they think and forever put this class of advertising out of existence. If continued in, it will not be long before every weekly in the country will be running a political campaign. One presidential election every four years is aplenty. As the Litforecast erary Digest does not reach all the voters, its therefore is detrimental to some of the candidates. It can give the people the result of its readers as to their choice and this is propaganda which can be used effectively against the second man. Let us select the president of the United States at the polls and not in the office of the Literary Digest. pre-electio- n The average tank wagon price of gasoline for 30 principal cities of the United States in August was 15.21 cents a gallon, a new low price for the year and about 3 cents below the price six months ago. This city was not included as one of the 30 because of the high rates charged here as compared in other cities outside of this state. Whats become of McAdoo? For past several elections he has been on the spot and has been an ardent campaigner. However, we have forgotten that in those campaigning days he was tied to a e healthy politiacl position. But, we would like to know whats be-ofti- of him. . Over $200,000,000 worth of wooden ships owned by the United States government are tied to piers and rotting for lack of use.

Porte, worthy president ,the latter delivered an address based on the contacts she had met in her attendance at the convention of the General Federation of Womens clubs..
