’25 AMERICA’S BIGGEST YEAR
DECLARES HERBERT HOOVER
• :• f
Material Conditions of Living Highest in History
of Nation, His Economic Rey$ew States. ^
Points Out Progress.
Washington, Nov, 7.—Material con-) better adjustment with other indus-
ditions of living for the American
people during the last year have been
the “highest in all history,” Secre
tary Hoover declared today in an, eco
nomic review ia-ide ?>ubHe as part of
the annual report of the Commerce
Department. ^
Factors listed' by the secretary as
contributing to this condition included
a practically complete absence of un
employment, high wages, efficient
railroad operation, an equitable balance
of prices in producing groups of the'
population and a gradual return to
stable currencies and normal business
operations among the nations abroad
Mr. Hoover’s view took in the bank
ing situation and noted the invest
ments abroad by Americans during the
year ended June 30, 1925, of $1,382,-
000,000 and the net gold export from
the country of $115,000,000 as further
contributions to general stability.
The “greatest volume of construct
ion operations op record” was also
proceeding internally in the United
States, representing an investment for
the year of $6,000,000,000, and the
secretary noted the result as “for the
most part well calculated to meet the
permanent and growing needs of the
nation.”
Illustrating the situation by index
figures, Mr. Hoover’s review said that
taking 1919 output as 100, during the
fiscal year 1925, manufacturing pro
duction in the country was 118; min-
eial production, 124; railroad freight
haulage, 110; factory employment, 82,
and building contracts let were 111.
Retail sales on the average showed
a substantial gai never 1919.
Considering prices of 1913 as 100,
retail food costs for 1925 were found
to be 150 and the general cost of liv
ing to be 172. Farm products had an
index number of 153 and clothing, 189;
metal and metal products, 130, and
building materials, 174.
“Building activity was well distri
buted throughout the different regions
of the country,” Mr. Hoover continued,
“and there was apparently an increase
ed consumption of building materials
on the farms. Although some in
stances may be claimed of expendi
tures not justified by current needs,
the sum spent for construction for the
most part represented not only in
keeping pace with the needs of ex
panding population, but also a sub
stantial bettering of the country’s
Lousing and commercial facilities.
“The housing shortage arising from
the war has not yet been substantially
relieved for the lower‘Thcome groups,
and one of the great tasks ahead of
the country is to organize this field,
sc that new homes may be reasonably
financed and owned preponderantly
through the thrift of the individual
families who occupy them.
“Advances in prices of agricultural
commodities, together with a large
volume of production and marketing,
cgused the farm income to reach a
greater totgl in tha crop year 1924-
1925 than in any year since, 1920- i
1921.
“September forecasts indicate that
the aggregate output of all crops dur
ing the present year will be about
tries than at any time since- the war.
“Exports and imports both showed
substantial increases in the fiscal
year. The excess of merchandise ex
ports amounted to $1,041,000,000,
w hich was larger than in either of the
two preceding years.
“Exports of domestic merchandise
increased $554,000,000 during 1924-25,
and two-thirds of this increase occur
red among the unmanufactured pro
ducts. . Exports of crude foodstuffs
leached a value over twice as large
a& in 1923-1924. Exports of manu
facturers, which are less affected by
changes in supply and demand than
crude foodstuffs and materials, in
creased 8 per cent in an upward trend,
which has been in evidence for many
years.
“At least some part of the expan
sion of our foreign trade in recent
years may fairly be attribuetd to the
increased activity of the Department
of Commerce. The steady growth* of
our service in the promotion of over
sea trade is indicated by the fact that
the number of demands for services
from exporters, merchants, bankers,
end others interested in foreign trade
increased 75 per cent during the past
yea rand were about ten times as
many as in 1921.”

—“Gulbransen Registering Pianos”—far superior to

While the transition of the Gulbransen has been grad

classed as a new invention, on account of its fidelity to

Backache Is a Warning!
Clinton Folks, Arc Learning How To
Heed It.
Are you miserable with an aching
back? Do you get up lame and stiff;
drag through the day feeling tired,
weak and depressed ? Then you should
help your kidneys. Backache is often
the first sign of failing kidneys. Uri
nary troubles quickly follow. Neglect
ed,, there’s danger of gravel, dropsy,
or fatal Bright's disease. Don’t wait
for serious kidney sickness! Use
Doan’s Pills, a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys, before it is too late. This
Clinton resident tells an experience:
H. Y. Abrams, barber, 44 Academy
St., says: “My kidneys acted irregu
larly and sometimes the secretions
were scanty in passage. My back
ached and at times, it was an effort
to stoop, as my back felt sore and
stiff. I used several boxes of Doan’s
Pills, from Young’s Pharmacy, and
they were the means of relieving me.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Abrams had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
