Business Is Good. Wonderful Corn Belt. Wall Street Forgives. (Copyright, VJ21, by New York Kv.ening Jourtmt, Inc.) Millions listened for the bis i'ight's beginning;. The listen ers included some tbat would not liave waited bad they seen Moses coming down the moun tain with Ins message. It is not fair to condemn in tense prize fight interest us savagery. H is 80 per cent atavistic. AVe ore separated by only 12,000 years, u moment in the earth's life, from ancestors whose lives depended every day on fighting ability. . Prize fight interest is the Survival of u life struggle. It may interest you to know, in these doldrum days of poli tics and midsummer, that busi ness goes ahead, cheerfully. Many big firms show great gains in "net." Oil companies are cheerful. If Venezuela can be. persuaded be persuaded to handle her oil wealth wisely all will be se rene. llailroatls are doing well. The Southern Pucifie, excellently managed, made $21,848,13-1 this year's first six. months, $1,837, 113 more than last: year. They say they beinjr the wise ones that wc are to have a savage political campaign, t Itut it is not hurting business. l'rofessor Sweeney, of Iowa State College, supplies impor tant information about corn. The corn belt is the earth's greatest sponge for absorption and storage of the sun's heat. Heat units are stored in chemi cal compounds, and could be released. Hut they go to waste. Heat and power wasted in farm products, equivalent to hundreds of millions of tons every year, could be saved. Due billion tons of raw stuffs, wast ed every year, are equal to twice our tonnage of soft coal. The great crowds should live in the corn belt, use the power mid food products there, in stead of crowding, uneeouom: i cully, in big'eities on the sea " shore. Already, 30,000 different, uses arc made of cereal pro ducts. We will find a way to tahe the sun's heat direct, without farming to get it or storing it in vegetable growth. That will not come immediately. It would make us all too rich and lazy and we'd stop working. Vull Street forgets Bryan aud forgives the Democratic party. A big Democrat banner swings in the Wall Street breeze. And W. II. Woodin. president of American Car & Voundry, aud American Loco tive, and prominent in other great corporations, comes out ior Governor Smith. ' Like Mr. Itaskob, of General Mo tors, Mr. Woodln had been mem ber of the Republican Union League Club, and a Republican In politics. Republicans will have a fight on their hands as time passes. A wise derision by Postmaste General New reduces air mall charges to cents for the first ounce. Above that wci-Jht the price Is W cents.
