'Whirring machinery tells of the employment of thousands of men and women who have had noth ing to do. While only a short while ago mills were running on half time to-day they are rushed with work and are giving employment to all w ho apply. Railroads are feeling the Aladdin-like touch of prosperity and are planning to expend millions of dollars upon improvements. There haa -been a loosening up of the money market so that funds to carry on the gigantic projects contemplated are to be had readily. Correspondents send in glowing reports of conditions in all the manufacturing centres. In the Northwest, the South, the East everywhere there are signs of better times. One positive evidence of the Improvement in conditions is given in the disbandment of the National Prosperity Association, of St. Louis. Its chairman, E. C. Simmons, explained tliat now tiiat prosperity is swiftly returning, there is no more work for the organization to do.

But confidential re- ports of the St. Louis reserve agenta show that the shipments to ail cen tres in the South and West are al most as large as last month.
