ESAR-ur vUait PROSPERITY SHOWN First National Bank of Boston Points to Increase of Industry in Newspaper Release STOCK EXCHANGE NOW ACTIVE The recent newspaper release of the First National bank of Boston calls attention in a general summary to the present era of great business prosper- ity. The stock exchanges have been ex- tremely active while the bank clear- ings for September, excluding New York City, were about one-third larger than a year ago. A material off-set to this showing is due to the increased price of commodities during thepast year. There Is practically no unem- ployment in New England and in fact a shortage of labor is being felt in various industries. This si uation is most striking when compare with the quarter ending December 31, 1914, at which time 18.3 per cent of the trade union membership of Masachusetts was unemployed. .The steel industry is at the maxi- mum. Steel buying is very active at advancing prices and steel users are beginning to stock up heavily. Textile mills are reaping a harvest and market discussion is confined to delivery dates more than to prices. Shoe manufactur- ing is at a high-water mark in spite of prevailing high prices for materials. Hard wood is climbing high and the market is strong. Pulp wood con- tinues scarce and the mills are over- taxed. Crop conditions are generally unsatisfactory, cotton and wheat being far below normal. Our exports of copper goods havek reached record-breaking size. Ourt shipments of this class have reachedI nearly five times the number at the start of the war. The production of pig iron has been greatly stimulated.I Cotton, while there was a 12 per centt increase in acreage planted, deterior-a age in the plant up to that time is re-t sponsible for the present condition.I Prices on cloth have risen steadily andv the mills are. showing large earnings.- The outlook for wool is a strong one with a probability of even higherp prices. With general business so near thed maximum volume there is a tendencyr toward conservatism on the part ofb business men who think it wise to con-4 serve present profits and to conduct both domestic and foreign business asc safely as possible. This feeling wasb stimulated by a recent submarine op- eration which showed the present ab-c normal conditions and their liabilityn to a sudden change Any cessation oft our exports, which might result from several causes, would pile up goods allb along the line. This condition if last-s ing very long would dislocate busi-e ness in general, affecting productiono employment, purchasing power, ando prices.n GO WELL WITH BOW OR FOUR- IN -H A N D 15 Icts. each, 6 for 9 cts.

INFORMATION GIEN OUT ABOUT STUDENT OTERS Absent Voters Law Makes It Possible for Non-Resident Students to Vote For the benefit of the student voters of Michigai1 enronea in the University, information has been secured by the Student Voters' Committee to inform them how they can secure the ballot in order to vote at the fall election without going home. There is a law called the Absent Voters Law which provides a method by which non-resident students who are qualified voters may cast their ballots by mail, if they cannot be at home on election day. To comply with this law the student must send to the clerk of the township or city in which he lives, a request for an ap- plication blank. In case the stu- dent has not registered, or in case the district in which he lives requires re- registration, he should send in for a blank "'Request for Registration with Affidavit." This should be sent to- gether with.therequest for the appli- cation ballot so that they can both be returned at once. When the application blank is re- ceived the student should go before a notary public and fill it out and re- turn it to the clerk, who will then send the ballots at once. The ballots must be marked secretly according to in- structions sent by the clerk, and seal- ed in a special envelope which ac- companies the ballots. The affidavit on the back of this special envelope must be filled out in the presence of a notary public. When this has been done the student should mail the en- velope, with the enclosed ballots to the clerk. Students are warned to send in their requests for application blanks without delay as they must be filled out and in the-hands of the clerk ten days before election, that is, by Oct. 28. By the time the voters receive their ballots the committee will an- nounce a time and place where the services of a notary public may be se- cured without charge.
