His attitude changes, not as we a period of prosperity depression below, but as the white lines are drawn which divide these| areas—when business changes its di- | rection. “When we had completed half of the depression in the middle of 1904, business began to improve and busi- ress men went into a state of pshy- chological prosperity almost over night.

We did not enter the ac- tual area of depression until the fall of that same year . “In April 1908, another white line marked the turning paint and things until the long swing in about June, 1910, This decline, while not drastic, kept Lusiness quiet until the middle of 1914, when things again turned up- ward.

(By Asso- clated Press).—New Hampshire's pri- mary election will be held on Tues- day, Sept. 5 and nominations will be for congressmen, governor, members of the governor's council and the state legislature. There will be no senatorial primary. Henry W, Keyes, junfor United. States senator from this state, will not again face the voters until 1924, while George H. Moses, the senior senator, is secure in his place until 1926. Candidates for governor on the republican side are Winsor H. Goed- now of Keene and Arthur G. Whitte- more of Dover. The former ran sec- ond in a three cornered contest in the | primary of two years ago, losing to Albert.O. Brown of Manchester, who was later elected.
