GREAT COMMERCIAL HOWITZERS GETTING READY FOR ACTION The Anaheim National Bank's monthly Bulletin Letter says: The great commercial howitzers of America are ready for action—ready and waiting for that supercharge of business energy which is coming in the form of a permanent Allied peace. If you are an impatient soul you will say that this Allied peace is slow in coming; you may also feel that the much written of and often talked about business revival is tardy. As a matter of fact, both have been steadily advancing week by week. Many good Americans have been misled to believe that business was bad by the prevailing absence of future or contract business in our present activity. While this class of business has been in evidence in other periods of prosperity, it should not be in this one because we have been producing at a peak to meet what looked like a long-pull condition. Now, as we slip away from that peak a hand-to-mouth buying policy is wisest and safest until false price supports are removed and a normal level is reached. Business Looking Up Business is looking up, however, even in the face of all the victory-throttled-war activity. An improvement in the index of banking funds in the United States indicates it; winter crops are in fine condition, stock has wintered well generally, the building permit barometer has raised to a point higher than it registered any time during 1918, and failures are still few in number with facturing concerns.

An improvement in the index of banking funds in the United States indicates it; winter crops are in fine condition, stock has wintered well generally, the building permit barometer has raised to a point higher than it registered any time during 1918, and failures are still few in number with but a slight increase in liabilities. So, Mr. Pessimist, a sharp surplus of opinion is against you. We admit there are many vexing problems they begin internationally and end individually; yet the native optimism of the American, which always rejects disquieting indications, should now keep him pulling at his oars instead of rocking the boat. We should admire and adopt the business revival slogan of eastern manu- Here Is Secret No. 2 of the Brunswick Equal in importance to reproduction is tone amplification. The Brunswick Method of Reproduction also includes a new idea in acoustics—The Brunswick Amplifier. Old-time ideas were at variance. Some makers still cling to metal construction. Others use a combination of wood and metal—a wooden horn and a metal casting as the "throat." But the Brunswick Amplifier is oval in shape and built entirely of wood, like a fine violin. It is molded of rare Hollywood. Sound waves require uniform amplification to reach their fulness. You will note that The Brunswick tone is richer and more natural.

These institutions have behind Professor Fisher's (Proof Economics at Yale University) declaration that prices will precede to pre-war levels. Food Prices Stationary It is that index numbers declining at an extremely deliberate, and one of them—notably is temporarily advancing. It be expected that all commodities going to react to the same minor at the same time. Food several other items making up living cost budget, will be among very last to decline because they absolutely essential and the home aid for them cannot decrease. And with this condition is the fact the European demand on us foodstuffs has increased 120 per cent this period of last year and over this period of last year and over 1914. Ports shown that 56,000,000 have been added to this councrop acreage in teh past ten Texas, of course, ranks first producing acres, then comes Kaninols and Iowa. The value of producing land has also grown. Each 1st of this year the average of plowing lands in this city was about $74.31 per acre a year ago it was $68.36. The increase in values during last year occurred in the South States. The smallest gains made in New England, the Panast states and Louisiana, Texas and Montana. Iowa stands value of plowing lands, with average of $169 per acre, Illinois with $144, California next with and Indiana with $100. Ala-peeports the lowest average valuation 24 per acre, with Mississippi dedicated need of more meat production for home consumption, to say nothing of Europe's certain need, the natural question from the profitable undertaking standpoint is: What meat can be expected to enjoy the longest demand? And beef seems to be the one for it has increased but 9.3 per cent, while pork grew 40 per cent. The number of tractors manufactured in 1918 has been placed at 132,697, of which 36,351 were sold for export. The manufacturers estimate their 1919 production at 314,.936. At an average of 22 horsepower per tractor these 314,936 tractors will represent 6,928,592 horsepower. Comparatively few persons appreciate the importance or the development of the tractor industry. Before long we may expect production to reach 75,000 or 1,000,000 a year. The horse is destined to disappear from the farm. He is too costly. He is a liability for the first two years of his life and does not begin to pay for his keep until he is three years old. He eats more grain that a platoon of men and he eats as much almost when he is not working as when he works. A tractor needs to be fed only when it has a job to perform. When it finishes work it is a non-consumer. The greatest task in the world is the turning of the soil each year for the making of crops. All other tasks are trivial in comparison. Hasten the tractor. Little Unemployment An analysis of the unemployment situation brings to light the preparation for industrial reconstruction and expansion. To begin with, there has not been since the signing of the armistice, and apparently there is no ground for believing that there will be during the reconstruction period.

OGRAPH An analysis of the unemployment situation brings to light the preparation for industrial reconstruction and expansion. To begin with, there has not been since the signing of the armistice, and apparently there is no ground for believing that there will be during the reconstruction period, any such conditions of unemployment and uncertainty as we experienced in 1914 and 1915, after the outbreak of the world war. Late figures from apparently half of the nation, including most of the important industrial centers, place the number of unemployed at 400,000. thus making it a reasonably conservative estimate that the total of unemployment at this time is not in excess of 800,000. Under normal conditions, at a time of industrial activity, the total of unemployment, including the floaters who are moving from one job to a better one, is estimated at 1,000,000, and during periods of industrial depression the total for the nation has reached from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000. This means that now there are 200,000 less unemployed—and among these are counted the demobilized soldiers who have not yet gotten back into industry—than there are under normal conditions during industrial activity. Normal industrial conditions do not exist as yet and the present situation is entirely satisfactory when viewed from the standpoint of past performances. Immediately Recognized In April, 1917, the American people placed an order with their government to enter a state of war with Germany and to win that war regardless of expense. This task was immediately recognized as requiring the greatest expenditure of labor in the production of the greatest amount of war materials in the least possible length of time. In order to save the lives of our loved ones, We quickly brought production and fighters and a free people onto a war basis. This was hard at first because few knew what an atrocious enemy we had to fight; but soon the war spirit gripped America, breathlessly she toiled, and willingly she sacrificed, and her resourceful sons matured to untested fighters.
