New Catholic Church and New
Elevator To Be Erected.

| Damar, July 6.-This town is one of
the busiest little towns on the Salina-

| pairing to meet the demands of good
crops
A Bedard is adding implements to
MS stock of hardware; Frank Brin
mas completed the extension of imple-
Inent SnedS; the Damar Elevator COM
pany is enlarging its capacity and the
State Bank building is being enlarged
TO meet its increasing business. Ru-
inors are in the air that Damar is go-
ing to have her third elevator. and
tnat work will soon be commenced on
| it.
| Prosperity shows up everywhere
All that is lacking is a doctor, and
mere is good opportunity for one.
Not to be behind other towns in the
matter of postoffice conveniences, the
Damar office has been enlarged to al
most double its former size. Having
nlIed the office as postmaster for the
last eight years and giving good serv-
Ice 70 the patrons, the present official,
a Fouhot, probably will be allowed
to serve indefinitely.

INTO the dairy trade.
Damar is in Rocks county. The
farmers tributary are in the main
french. They are Industrious and own
large tracts of land. The majority of
| the business houses are owned by
| French people.

1orlty here. They have built a church
at cost of about $4,000, and main
tain resident priest
| me town will always be a valuable
trade and shipping center The farm
ers raise wheat principally The big
yield or 1914 and 1915 is what has
started the rumor that Damar is go
ing to get her third elevator.

me BOOM IN STOCKS

The stock exchange boom has proved to be no flash in the pan Not for years has there bee strong an upward trend of the market and such steadily grow roakng seems once more in the high tide of prosper ity
 It might of course, prove to be fictitious pros perity for Wall Street has been unfaing in- dex to the country's business conditions At this timo the speculative element nighty. Some of the pungers have been moved by wild tales of immense orders received by American manufacturers and others have been moved by peace al-two motives which are logically opposed to each other But lack of this hyr teria there real facts to support thhe revival
 The war orders, though absurdy exaggerated, ha,' been big factor Along with this foreign demand there has been wholesome growth of orders in the domest trade. The railroads have been buying more heavily and from the west has increasing demand fol all of goods industry and trade unquestion- ably revving the atmosphere of depression is fading away the psychology of business has hopeful tone.
 Back of the export trade, of which munitions nav, been small part the big crops of last year. ans from the two there a more plentiful supply of mone than the country has ever had before. It would be strange under the circumstances if the stock market didn't rise especially when securities had fallen s, far below their normal value
 Much of the activity on change is plain gamblin but the big steadyng fact the situation is investment Europe prices rise, is selling us back our own stock and bonds, and the west buying them in great quau eities with the money its crops brought It's a sats factory situation for everybody concerned
