Business forecast for four months
The L'nltcd States chamber of commerce has sent out from Its Washing
ton headquarters thlB map giving a forecast of business conditions in the
United States during the first four months of 1916. The map was made after
an exhaustive study of Industrial and commercial conditions by the experts of
the chamber. As will be seen, the localities having "good" prospects (thus.
unmarked) are the Atlantic and n large part of the southeastern states, tliime
between the Mississippi and the Rocklos and a part of California. Thus
where the prospects are "fair" are In gray, and the only section where the
outlook is declared "poor" is a part of Washington and Oregon, marked buck.

NO USE FOR IT IN FIVE YEARS.
A leading banker of Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the it.st year the managers
of a brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the elate decided to build a
new malt bouse at a cost of $25,000.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect a loan.
He naturally went to one of the big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The vice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly In the brew
ing business and bad made a band
some fortune in that business during
the palmy days before the drys bad
begun to knock -tho big profits out of
It. He very wisely gut out of the busi
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of tho out-of town brewer be was
promptly refused the loan. lie ex
claimed: "What's tho matter? With
all this lino property we got, ain't we
good for $25,000?"
Quick came the answer from the ex-brewer-banker:
"Hut what do you
want to use the $23,000 for?"
"To build a malt bouse, so we can
enlarge our business," said the brewer.
"But, you fool, don't you know that
In five years you will havo no use
whatever for a malt house?" replied
tho banker.

nated as Nationul Poster days; W. C.
T. U. speakers to present in public ad

secure tho indorsement of the Joint

PLACARDS IN DRY PARADE.
"A beef Joint beats a booze Joint."
"Tho path of misery leads from the
saloon door."
'You can't buy dry goods with
money spent for wet goods."
'The cause of drunkenness Is li
cense; the cure is total abstinence."
'One home in four must furnish a
boy for the saloon. What about your
boy?"
'Chlrago knows enough to come In
out of the wet."
'We'll make the water wagon our
Jitney bus."
"A dry Chicago means a clean Chi
cago.
"Who gets your next pay envelope?"
"Tho saloon Is tho poor man's club
that kicks him out after ho has paid
his dues."
Nineteen dry states. Come on in,
Illinois! Tho water's flno."
"Tho lar.t to bo hired, the first to be
fired the boozer."
"Nothing to drink Sunday; clear
head Monday."
'When you down booze, that Is per
sonal liberty; when booze downs you,
that is slavery."
ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.
There is a certain queer old. book
which was printed in England more
than a hundred years ago called. "The
rieasant Art of Money-Catching." It
contains this good advice: "First see
that your comlngs-ln be more than
your Iaying3-out." Suppose a man
wcro taking ten thousand dollars a
year over tho counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But If
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not bo prospering,
but failing. Uncle Sam docs get a
great deal of money from the liquor
traffic. But he and we spend a very
great deal more in caring for its vic
tims. So this is bad business, and
when enough people have found It out
tho liquor traffic will go. They are
finding it out vory fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibi
tion. It is a matter of dollars and
cents. Christine Tlnllng.
FARMERS FOR PROHIBITION.
The Farmers' National congress, as
sembled In Omaha for its thirty-fifth
annual meeting, proclaimed the prohi
bition principles of the farmers of the
country in tho following message to
the Nebraska dry convention then In
session at Lincoln:
"Tbo Farmers' National congress
has for many years boon on record ai
opposed to the legalizing of the liquor
traffic. Our sympathlos and efforts are
with the convention for a dry Ne
braska and a dry nation."
ABSURD BELIEF.
"There Is nothing more absurd than
the belief that the closing of the sa
loon will cause working men to lose
their Jobs. There are few things more
Important In our social advancement
than the loosening eMhe grip ef the
liquor interests upon the labor move
ment. The saloon represents econom
ic 1od9." Theodore Roosevelt. In a
letter to Mr. Charles Stelzle.
WON'T WORK BOTH WAYS.
"If you spend a dollar for wet goods
you can't spend It tor dry rood" "
