The attention of business and professional men In all portions of the country has been attracted to a strikingly strong article by Col. George Harvey In the September issue of the North American Review in which the writer takes a view of the greatest hopefulness for the future of America and Americans. The article Is entitled "A Plea for the Conservation of Common Sense," and It Is meeting with the cordial approval of business men of all shades of political opinion throughout the entire country. In part, Colonel Harvey says: "Unquestionably a spirit of unrest dominates the land. But, If it be true that fundamentally the condition of the country Is sound, must we necessarily succumb to despondency, abandon effort looking to retrieval and cringe like cravens before clouds that only threaten? Rather ought we not to analyze conditions, search for causes, find the root of the distress, which even now exists only in men's minds, and then, after the American fashion, apply such remedies as seems most likely to produce beneficent results? Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic "The Link that connects labor with capital Is not broken but we may not deny that It is less cohesive than Jt should be or than conditions warrant. Financially, the country is stronger .than ever before In Its history.

"Is not the present, as we have seen, exceptionally secure? What, then, of preparations for the future? Patriotism is the basis of our Instltutlons. And patriotism In the minds of our youth Is no longer linked solely with fireworks and deeds of daring. It Is taught In our schools. A new course has been added a course in loyalty. Methodically, our children learn how to vote, how to conduct primaries, conventions and elections, how to discriminate between qualifications of candidates and, finally, how to govern as well as serve. They are taught to despise bribery and all forms of corruption and fraud as treason. Their creed, which they are made to know by heart, is not com plex. It is simple, but comprehen slve, no less beautiful in diction than lofty In aspiration. These are the pledges which are graven upon their memories: "As it is cowardly for a soldier to run away from battle, so it Is coward ly for any citizen not to contribute his share to the of his country. America Is my own dear land; she nourishes me, and I will love her and do my duty to her, whose child, servant and civil soldier I am.

No present movement Is more laudable than that which looks to of natural resources. conservation But let us never forget that the greatest Inherent resource of the American people is Common Sense. Let. that be conserved and applied without cessation, and soon it will be found that all the ills of which we complain but know not of are only such as attend upon the growing pains of a great and blessed country. He Knows the Game. According to the Metropolitan Meg- tzine, Fire Chief John Conway of Jer sey City, has solved the baseball ex cuse question by the posting of the following printed notice on his desk at fire headquarters: "All requests for leave of absence owing to grandmothers' funerals, lame back, house cleaning, moving, sore throat, headache, brainstorm, cousins' wedding, general indisposition, etc., must be handed to the chief not later than ten o'clock oa the morning of the game." com ment. The general opinion seems to be that the government scheme will be Imitated by the banks, which will find it cheaper to do' their own washing than to pay express charges on money to and from the Washington laundry. The cost of Installing a money washing plant Is not expected to exceed from $500 to 1700 In most cases. The government is planning to give the bankers the benefit of what it learns from its own experiment. The whole process is quite simple. According to Moody's Magazine it has been found that . the best medium for cleansing, the bills Is soapsuds made from almost any good grade of potash soap. Following a vigorous churning In soapy water and a bleaching the bills are rinsed in warm water. One stago where care must be exercised is in the bleaching operation, and it Is not yet determined Just what ingredients in a bleaching powder give fullest assurance of inflicting no to the bills. All the bills of lower denomination have been found to launder satisfactorily, but the Ink employed In the printing of some of the bills of high value shows a tendency to run when washed. However there Is little need for laundering these longer lived bills. After the washed bills are dried by artificial heat they are put through a sizing machine, which by means of a bath of alum and glue restores the finish of the paper. Finally the bills are packed between large sheets of cardboard and run through a press, which In addition to the application of great weight imparts a peculiar elongating motion to each package, with the result that the rejuvenated bills emerge with all the crisp appearance and body of newly manu- factured currency. It has been suggested that the laun dering Include a sterilization of the money either In conjunction with or Immediately following the washing of the bills, but the officials have not yet decided whether or not there is necessity for such chemical purification. SHERMAN Vice-Preside- A GREAT BALL FAN Lets Statesmen .Walt While He Chats With Ty "'' Cobb. ; Sherman can hold up all the dignity of his office and then some. But just the same, he Is a baseball fan from away back. A few days before congress adjourned, Ty Cobb, Detroit's famous right fielder, room entered the in Washington, with Secretary Bennett. Mr. Bennett stopped with the baseball player a few feet from the and started to Intro-luc- e him to some friends. The overheard the introduction, and breaking off his conversation with the senators, turned quickly and hurried toward Mr. Bennett. "What's that?" asked "Did I hear you say Ty Sherman. Cobb? I don't want to miss anything like this." Secretary Bennett Introduced the baseball player, and Ty complimented on his good taste In the being such an enthusiastic baseball rooter. "I am going out to the game this aft"and ernoon," said the I want to see you knock the ball out of the lot." "You look much bigger in uniform than you do now," added Mr. Sherman edging off and sizing up Ty from his heels to his head. By this time Senators Clay, Bacon, Purcell and others had begun to wonder who the bronzed Individual was was so Interthat the ested In. They soon found out, and shook Ty's hand.

Mrs. Duke and Mrs. Flackmaa ered about the Flackman boathouse In a perfectly maddening way while their sons loaded the canoe. They had learned not to express their fears verbally, but it was quite plain to be seen that neither of them expected ever to see her offspring alive again.

In nearly all of the articles of tirnductlon there was a marked na-rur- decline in the exports of 1910. as while in pared with previous years, certain manufactures the figures for the year are Inrged than for any previous year and the total lor all manufactures probably will exceed that of statlB-ticany earlier year. The bureau of which has given out these figures, has not yet completed the total value of the manufactures exported. The falling off Is most marked In corn, wheat, flour and meats; wheat falling from $161,000,000 in 1892, the high year, to $47,000,000 In 1910; corn com- s, Bureau Points to Falling Off In Foreign and Domestic Trade. Government Marked Considerable shrinkage In the commercial supply of some of the prime necessaries of life is Indicated by the movements of live stock and meat products in the United States during the first halt of the present year. This decline was shown both in domestic and in foreign commerce. According to figures prepared by the Washington bureau of statistics, the shortage in the commercial supply of live stock Is best shown by a comparison of the figures, which totaled 16,463,756 head for the first six months of 1910, as compared with more than 20,000,000 In same period last year arid nearly 21,000,000 for the corresponding period of 1908. This loss is due almost entirely, it is reported, to the smaller number of hogs brought to market, the shortage in them thus far this year being about 25 per cent. The curtailment in the commercial supply of cattle so far this year has been six per cent, less than normal, while the receipts of sheep at the seven leading markets shows a decline of 11 per cent The decline in the supply of sheep began after 1906, that of cattle after 1907 and that of hogs after 1908. Instances of the heavy losses in export trade are shown by the fact that, while more than 200,000,000 pounds of fresh beef were sent out of the country In the fiscal year 1908, only 75,000,000 pounds were sent during the fiscal year Just closed; that the shipments of bacon dropped from pounds in 1908 to 152,000,000 pounds this year; of hams and shoulders from 221,000.000 pounds in 1908 to 146,000,000 pounds in 1910. and of lard from more than 600,000,000 pounds In 1908 to 362,000,000 pounds In 1910. half-yearl- y 241.-000,0- LAW ON LARD SUBSTITUTE Washington Holds Compound Covered by Meat Statute and Must Be Inspected.

Inasmuch as the canoe contained food and blankets for an expedition of one night and two days, they paddled carefully. They might swim, but bread and butter and bacon wouldn't and camping up the river that flowed from the farther end of the lake would not be enticing If one's stomach were empty. Of course they were going to fish, but nobody ever caught any fish anyhow. To their vast surprise they found that Black river was full of fish after they had negotiated the lily patches and the beds of cat tails and had shot past the last farmhouses. It was beautifully still, except for the birds and the dip of their paddles. Down in the clear waters they could plainly see the speckled bass darting back and forth. "Now, wouldn't that frost you!" said Willie Duke in a vast disgust "I suppose we've got to catch some. I wanted to Just paddle." "Gee, but they're big!" breathed the Flackman boy. "Say, it'd make those fellows at the hotel pop out their eyes if we came home with a big string of these they're catching little quarterpounders back there!" "There may be something In that," agreed Willie Duke, betraying faint enthusiasm. "But we ought to have brought a landing net!" After two large bass had got away Just at the critical moment it was plain to be seen that something must be done to provide a landing net They tried tying to a stick the napkin which had been about their sand wiches, but the first fish they tried it on departed wearing the linen as a sort of hood. Then young Flackman with a sigh arose and took off bis shirt. He tied the sleeves and the tail together into a rude bag, which proved effective. By diligent efforts they caught a lot of the fish. To keep them fresh they htrung the captives on a string and hung them in the water over the side of the canoe. It was Willie who had the bright Idea that if they took some big ones home to their mothers those good women might be distracted from their fears sufficiently to allow their sons to venture forth again. In the morning they found that river turtles had eaten all their catch. The fish beads alone remained to tell the tale. "Tarnation!" exclaimed Willie Duke. "Well, we did our best!"
