BUSINESS EFFECT I
OF EUROPEAN WAR
'Economic Expert Declares That Ef- !
feet on Business of the United
, States Will De Beneficial
Waslngton, Aug. 23. — Daniel C.
Roper, for many years statistical ex
pert of the ways and means commit
tee and an authority on economic
subjects, has prepared the following
(ummary of the Important economic
conditions and changes in the United
States, brought about by the war in
Europe:
The European war has precipitat
ed a distinct movement in the eco
nomic development of the United
States, tho potential benefits of
which will he realized by our people
regardless of what course that con
flict may take or what its ultimate
outcome may be. This movement
begins with a certain shock to the
economic organism. We have been
called upon to liquidate large for
eign holdings of American secur
ities. Temporarily we have been
cut off from much of our foreign
supply of materials for manufactures
and from important foreign markets :
for our surplus food products, raw
materials and manufactures.
This constitutes a disturbance of
normal conditions sufficiently seri
ous to cause alterations of the
fundamental industrial organization J
and to create new channels of trade. j
The ultimate beneficial effect of j
such a disturbance is well known
and eventuates even when the dis
turbance is accompanied by great
disaster and loss, which is clearly
not our case in the present instance.
Our country is in a self-contained
and self-supporting state. It imports
only $18 worth of goods per capita
annually, and exports in return $2.
per capita. This foreign trade is not
large enough compared with our do
mestic commerce to be vitally essen
tial to our national well being and
such as it is, the balance is safely in
our favor. The Importance of our
foreign trade, though great, is j
therefore easily exaggerated.
But there is no reason to fear any
important stoppage of our foreign
trade. Shipping is not suspended;
our commerce can be adjusted to the
changed conditions; the machinery
lor international exchanges remains
unimpaired.
The circumstances of the war are
such that at the present time the
vessels of all belligerents except Ger- '
many and Austria, as well as the |
vessels of all neutral nations, are j
free to sail on the high seas without |
»ny danger of molestation that need j
deter them, especially in view of the j
provision by the several govern- j
meats of war-risk insurance.
Only about one-sixth of the ton
nage of our foreign trade has been
carried under the flags of nations
wnose shipping is now suspended. It
is reasonable to expect that the ship
ping measures now being authorized
by congress will effectually supply
any vessels needed in addition to
those now available. Moreover, it is
t0 be noted that cessation of ship-
Ping between belligerent nations and !
'he establishment of effective block-
leaves free many vessels that
may be employed in American trade. '

DRUG STORK CHANGES HANDS
Ollis Plnkley and George T Mc-
Mahon are the sole proprietors' of
white's drug store, which they this
week purchased from Archie and
Charlie White, who less than a
month ago purchased the interest in
the business held by Mr. Plnkley.
The establishment is the oldest drug
store in Pullman, having been start
ed in pioneer days, and the popular
ity of the new owners assures them a
continuation of the excellent patron
age which the store has always en
joyed. Mr. Plnkley has for several
years held an Interest In the store
and has been in charge of the estab
lishment since the two Whites
moved to Califoria, selling his inter
est to them when they returned re
cently from the south. Mr. McMahon
has for three years been employed
as prescription clerk, and the two to
gether make a combination which
should prove a winner.

Herbst are rejoicing over the ar

THREE SEPARATORS
ARE TOTAL LOSSES
After two Weeks Respite Smut Ex
plosions Again Claim Three Pull
man Machines—Second
Total Losses for Two
Three more separators owned by
Pullman farmers have fallen prey to
smut explosions and both are total
losses as a result of the fires which
followed the explosions. For two
weeks previous to these explosions
the farmers of this vicinity had
pressed their threshing operations
unmolested, with the result that
probably one-half the total crop of
this section is now in the sack. Early
this week, however, the cooler wave
which was thought to be responsible
for the cessation of the smut explo
sions was broken and the hot wave
returned. Monday the machine own
ed by A. D. O'Kelley and Company,
operating between Albion and Whe
lan, was totally destroyed by fire,
following an explosion. Mr. O'Kelley
had previously lost a machine this
season and bis new Case had been in
the field less than a week when it
met the fate of its predecessor. It is
probable that the separator will not
be replaced and that Mr. O'Kelley
will (ease threshing operations for
this season. On the same day M.
DeYoung also suffered his second
loss of th season.
The separator owned by County
Commissioner M. W. Whitlow, and
operating on the Whitlow farm, just
east of Pullman, was gutted by fire
Tuesday. Members of the crew who
were close to the separator at the
time state that the explosion was
very slight and that the separator at
once became a seething mass of
flames, which could not be con
trolled. Mr. Whitlow had completed
threshing his oats and barley and
had just moved to the wheat field
when the fire occurred. A setting of
600 sacks of wheat had been com
pleted and the outfit had started on
a second setting. The wheat was
very smutty. Mr. Whitlow will se
cure a new separator and will resume
operations as soon as possible.
Later -The E. E. Snyder sep
arator, operating on the Bloomfield
farm, three miles southwest of Pull
man, leased by Mr. Payne, explod
ed early this morning and was al
most totally destroyed.
POPULAR YOl\<; LAD- WEDDED

man's most charming and popular

prosperity. The young couple will

NUMBER 48
DOUBLE WEDDING
i A BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Miss Nina (loserud Weds Wilfred
Charles .Kneoti and Miss Thea
Ooserud Is Mads Wife of
William John Carroll
A beautiful wedding was sol
emnized Tuesday evening, when Mr.
and Mrs. 0. O. Ooserud gave their
[daughter, Nina, in marriage to Mr.
j Wilfred Charles Kneen, and their
daughter, Then, to Mr. William John
Carroll. At eight o'clock, with
'lie lawn brilliant with lights,
ami thirty or more relatives and
friends present, the coreomnies were
opened by a solo, "Because," by
Miss Ann Mulligan, accompanied by
Miss Gladys Larrabee. Immediately
after which came the soft rains of
tin- wedding march.
The new and unique form of the
bride coming in unassisted was used.
The bridal procession was led by the
Rev. Harley Jackson of the Christian
church of Pullman, who was followed
by the elder of the Iwo brides, Nina,
who in turn was followed by her at
tendants. Miss Opal Green as brides
maid, and the bride's sister, Mrs.
John E, Blackburn, as matron of
honor. After them mine the bride
groom. Mr. Kneen, and his attendant,
Ml Clarence Laird. The second bridal
party followed directly alter the
first, and was led by Miss Then.
who was attended by his sister, Mrs.
Vernon I), Cornelius, as matron of
honor, and Miss Ruth Sutherland as
bridesmaid, after whom came the
bridegroom, Mr. Carroll, and his at
tendant, Mr. Bam Hunt. The pro
cession was started in one of the
inner rooms, passed out at the front
entrance, described a half circle and
topped under a beautifully lighted
an.l decorated arch, where tho mar
riage vows were taken. Mr. Kneen
and Miss Nina were united first by
using the Impressive double ring
ceremony, after which they moved
aside and Mr. Carroll and Miss Thea
approached the white satin altar,
where they. too, were wedded with
the double rings.
The brides' dresses of crepe
meteor trimmed in lace and pearls,
glimmered softly through long tulle
veils which wore caught, around the
crown of the head in cap fashion
and encircled with a small wreath.
Roth brides carried sweet pea show
er bouquets, the gift of the bride
grooms, and differed in apppearance
only in the make of their dresses
The bridesmaids wore dresses of
soft pink silk and carried arm bou
quets of pink roses, while the ma
trons were dressed in white mes
sallne and pink chiffon with corsage
bouquets of deep pink. Miss Leila
Lavin and Miss I let tie Cave, who as
sisted Mrs. Cornelius in receiving
the guests, carried arm bouquets of
asters. The bridegrooms and their
best men were in the usual full
dress. The brides gave, as gifts of
appreciation, lavaliers to the brides
maids and tiny gold crosses to the
musicians.
Following congratulations the
bridal party led the way to the room
where the many beautiful gifts to
the brides were displayed.
The dining room, where the
luncheon was served, was arranged
with a short table at each end and
joining these was a long table run
ning the length of the room. Thus
each bride with her party graced her
own table. The room was in pink
and white, the flowers being pink
buds and white roses and the chan
deliers tied with pink chiffon. A
light. two-course luncheon was
served, and at each place as a favor
to he carried home, was a dainty
little box in white tied with pink
and white satin ribbon, containing a
piece of wedding cake.
immediately after the last toast
had been given and the two couples
had donned their smart traveling
suits, they bade their friends a
hasty goodbye, boarded an automo
bile and sped to Moscow, Idaho,
! from which point they started on
their honeymoons.
The Goserud family has long been
residents of this city and the two
brides are well known in social
circles.
