ITH ¢ NORTHWEST'S STRONG POSITION | What is the future of busines Wr | =Roger W. Babson, noted business statistician, says that | there may be a let-down in the next twelve months. At the | sate time he quoted Judge Gary, head of the United States | Steel Corpori{tion; Professor Irving Fisher..of Yale and | ott@r'nctable men in. the field of business research as ring | thatthe next twelve months will be'a period-of rising prices | attd Dooming business. ae ut Mr. Babson does point out with more positiveness beéfief that if a let-up in business should come, the North west'is in better shape to weather adverse conditions than | any_other section in the United States. By the same token, the. Northwest should be in better position to gain most by an increase in the general business. ~Mr. Babson’s deductions are interesting. The North; west, he says, has passed through the worst of its agricu]- tural depression, in spite of the difficulties arising from over-production of wheat. If prosperity does slacken gener- ally, he declares, the Northwest will feel it much less than New-England or other sections. Réadjustment is in progress and will continue, he say pointing out that a bricklayer in New York City receiv as much in a day and a half as a -farmer gets for four months’ work on an acre of land. ‘ The oil industry in Oklahoma, he said, has been de- pressed in part by the Ku Klux Klan troubles. He sees | danger in the concerted drive against railroads,-fearing it | may unsettle conditions in financial circles. High rents, taxes and wages have increased the cost of doing business | 160-t0)200 per cent for retailers.. Activity of radical groups haghad a disquieting effect on business, and Europe is main- taming the largest standing armies in history, with labor employed.at the lowest prices in history as compared to the i al i hr wage levels of America. ‘The tremendous increase of | automobile has reduced thé demand for other articles. These are some of the pessimistic signs seen by Babson. ‘sHe admits that surface conditions point to increased | busthess during the year, and declares that greater efficiency | ad- marked increase in advertiging and selling efforts are | the antidotes to a business depréssion if it does come. -Regarding the Northwest wheat grower the eminent} statistician and business forecaster, says: ! “Politicians are simply kidding the wheat farmers .when’ they promise them relief through price fixing schemes or other=political methods. E “During the war American farmers raised wheat to feed the-World. Now the rest of the-world is doing considerable | toward feeding itself. Northwést wheat growers, however, hayeskept right on with big production methods. The in-| evitable result is overproduction. ¢#alk of stimulating consumption of wheat is foolish. ; 44 population will consume just so much wheat and no more. No€ronly that, hut as any population increases in prosperity, | its yse of wheat decreases. This is because its use of dairy | products and other foods increases. | =“Consequently, the thing for a whole lot of the wheat | growers in Minnesota and the Dakotas to do is to turn their fields into pasture and produce dairy products.” o Bgl | =] A LOST ART os Saat RAE one The quill pen has fought its ‘last battle against’ the steel ard fountain pen—and lost. Philip Cooper of London, whose company used to ship as many as three million“quill pens at a time to the Indian government, announces that they’ve quit | making quills. | ©The Southwark County Court in England has been the | last stronghold of quill pens. The court clung to them as a matter of sentiment, a link with the olden days. But even | thig court recently discontinued quills and adopted fountain ; pens. H : §o dies a quaint and ancient industry, mighty in its day. pean I ; Such quill pens as will be made in the future will be the | decorative kind that are parked in a jar of birdshot on mi-| lady’s writing desk. ' Philip Cooper gives “no market” as the chief reason for | going out of the quill manufacturing business. Another rea- s6n is that he no longer can find a workman who knows the} art of making them, | , .The craftsmanship involved in making quills was intricate afd required a skill found in few trades. The art was handed dgwn from father to son. As with beating out gold leaf, it was said that a quill pen maker was born, not made. | ¢ Whe quill pen served many, generations. to. whom it was | the leading instrument of making records and writing let- | Lacs tte ing isgsymbolic of the fate of all man-made device “The new and improved inevitably becomes the an- iqu and obsolete. - ‘ e fountain pen is “handier,” but experts claim that the best grade of quill pen—made from a wild goose of Hudson Bay —is the finest instrument for writing in the world.

NATIVES HONOR AN AUTHOR | Samoans Ordered Not to Fire Gun Within Earshot of Robert Loule Stevenson's Grave. James Chalmers, English Papden missionary, who, was killed and eaten by cannibals at Goartbart, met Robert Louis Stevenson on & Pacific steamboat when the novel- ist was fleeing to Samoa to escape death from tuberculosis. After meeting Chalmers, Stevenson was always an out-and-out defender of foreign missions. ‘ “Perhaps that masterpiece of philippics that | Stevenson wrote to smash the tra- | ducers ‘of Father Damien was tn- spired by his chance meeting with James Chalmers,” wrote Arthur Porritt, in “The Best [ Remem- ber.” All the time he was In Sarhoa Stevenson was the friend of the missionaries, and he took their view. as to the proper treatment of the natlves, w Now that he is dead the Samoan natives respect Stevenson's memory by a beautiful regulation, “By order of the chiefs no native must discharge a gun within*earshot of Valina,” says Mr. Porritt, “lest the birds that sing around. poor R.

The trees grow aiturally to | a height of from 20 to 30 feet, but this natural growth is checked by the growers, who keep the trees as low as five feet. The cutting does not injure the tree and it is far more convenient to gather the fruit. ig: The coffee tree begins to’ bear when it is about three years oe years, the singular fact about it | being often noticeable that tHe fresh blossom and the ripened fru! ; will appear on the same tree at the same time. The fruit of the coffee tree is round and red and looks: like our cherries and, being sweet to the | taste, is eaten by the natives as, we eat cherries. Each berry con- tains two seeds, the beans with | which we are familiar, inclosed in a skin, with their flat sides to- gether. The meat of the fruit is valueless, so when the fruit is gath- red it is dried so that the seeds May be easily removed. How coffee first came to be used as a drink ts not known, but it has been so used for at least a, thou- sand years in Persia. It was In- troduced in Europe about 800 ware ago. NEW NAME FOR AMERICA Spanish Writer Declares That This Continent Should Be Called “Beatrice.” Many -historiana have felt it. on- just that Amerigo Vespucci, the cartographer, who was. probafily mare familiar with the graft and monopolies of the Casa. de Con- tracion, where he was professor of navigation, than with the trans- atlantic countries, was allowed to give hig name to the new conti- nent. But as,a matter of fact, Amer- fea ought to have been called Bea- trice, says Francisco Granmon- tague, in El Sol (Madrid). For Don Cristobal’s (Columbus) pas- sion for Dona Beatrice de Hen- riquez was the reason why the im- pulsive and impatient navigator that beset his expedition, and did not hurry off to more promising prospects in other countries, The discovery of Beatrice pre- ceded the discovery of America.
