Last Month Prosperous One Along

Starts Things.

With the opening of spring in this
city has come also, the advance of
prosperous business conditions and
statistics indicative of Industrial
growth are shown in al lines of ac.iv-
ity When the last day of the month Of
March came and business was summed
up it was seen that the past month
has been busy and prosperous one
for nearly everyone and indications
now point for the most active summer
that this city has ever seen.
Building records tell story of more
general prosperous conditions than was
noticeable last spring and during the
month ending with April 1, the value
of building permits issued reached a

total of s74,035 showing a grand adj
vance over the corresponding month
for last year. The total of the past
month was not reached through the is
suance of many large or important
buildings. but was for the most part
composed of dwellings, indicating that
prosperous conditions are general and
that homes are going up to a greater
extent than ever before.
Real estate transfers were CORE
spondingly large last month, although
the practice of recording deeds at
nominal valuations makes the actual
totals almost impossible to give.
Business firms ell over the city re-
port the market to be in the health
lest conditions and say that never be-
fore were such indications for a pros
porous season. Farmers with prospects
of a good crop are buying their spring
implements: builders purchasing ma
terial of all kinds and the many diff
ferent enterprises engaged in this city
being in active operation, all help to
make showing that bids fair to out
rival that of any year previously.

cisms that Mrs. Newlywed has to en-
dure from her father and mother-in-
law?
Why, indeed? Well. 10 answer my
own query, l suppose it is largely be-
cause women are SO much accustomed
to enduring their lot in life whatever
it be without protest that the trials
which Mrs. DauSh ter-in-law has to
undergo are shrouded in oblivion.
Among all my acquaintance l do
not recall single case where the
husband really has anything to en-
dure from his parents in law. On the
other hand l do know Of several homes
where the wife suffers from the sell
fishness of her husbands father and
mother.
In all of these cases, the young mar
ried people live with the husbands
parents. Some, perhaps, because the
Did folks want to see their son liv
Ing in better home than he could
provide fer himself, and others be-
cause the old people are unwilling to
yet give up an Only son.
One such young bride, who is Just
dying to potter about a dear, shiny
connections for two, is obliged to as
sist her mother inlaw in getting the
prosaic meals for four.
l know another woman who went
10 her husbands home for "a year or
two" 1t was q years before she was
mistress of q home of her own.
During all this time she was always
more or less under the rule of a rather
autocratic father and mother in Jaw.
The surveillance they had always kept
over a younger son they extended to
her. In her goings and comings, her
choice of friends, in the way she
brought up her children they felt at
liberty to interfere.
1t was not that they were not kind
to her. They were very kind in their
hutocratic way, that while it gave ma
terial benefits, took away freedom.
Far too many enter into such ar
rangements every year and I have no
doubt it is partly because the women
| who have tried the experiment and
found it an utter failure, with women
| inherent meekness have failed to pro-
test loudly enough to impress a re-
! alization of their trials upon the world

Careful estimates would indicate
that northwestern farmers have about

about 100000 bushels more while ex-
