That the prices of commodities have
advanced. on the average. 81 per cent

to general prosperity, are assertions
made by william Bethke, Of LaSalle
Extension university. at the meeting

Club of Richmond. The speaker made
these statements while answering
questions put him by members OF the
club at the close of his lecture. "A
Study OF Trade Cycles From the
Viewpoint OF Salesm anship." The ses-
sion was had in the audit or1um of the
chamber of commerce.
When the question. What is the
effect of prohibition On business in the
country" was asked a laugh surged
over the audience.
Il picked up copy OF the Mil
yankee Sentinel few days ago." said
Mr.. Bethke, and saw a headline.

the department of agriculture is send
ing its representative, Mr.. r. S. Hit
ner, at an early date, to investigate
crop conditions on the Uncompahgre

tanning the feasibility of establishing

tables.
In order that Mr.. Hiither may have
facilities for thoroughly acquainting
himself with the resources and needs

meet representative citizens, includ.
ing farmers, merchants and bankers,
with whom he may confer on the
necessary details for perfecting an

WITH THE THINKERS.

NJ Y. Woods.-It is easy to spin a.
long the highway in your auto, II you
have one, and criticise this or that one
on the general appearance of his ran
ch and crops. But let the critic under
take the same task the busy farmer
has on hand and the chances are mat
ters could not be bettered under the
circumstances. Intelligent farming
and industry can not always be sized
up by tho appearance OF mans crop.

BALL GAMES LAST SUNDAY
SAID TO BE BEST EVER

There were two dandy baseball
games pulled off last Sunday on the
local diamond that had everything to
be desired in the sensational in them,
and were full of interest from start to
finish. They were contests that kept
you sitting on the tip edge of the seat,
nobody knowing just whose game it
was till the last frame was recorded.
Huggins, the "Three-T' wonder, was
pitted against Karl Eberhard in the
first, while George Stevens put them
over for the locals and Huggins again
appeared for the Junction, with the
catchers, Miller and Mcintosh acting
for their respective clubs.
AS this was the first opportunity
the fans had had to see their
favorite Eberhard in the box this seas.
on, it is needless to say that he was
heartily welcome, and say, that boy
was there with the goods There WIS
smoke, there was steam, there was
everything that combined to make
firstclass pitcher, and the old guards
do say that his work surpassed any
thing he has exhibited heretofore.
even the famous Gunnison tournament
game last year
Cochran, left fielder for the visitors, |
made a record of three hits out of
three times at bat, while the remain
Ter of the bunch garnered in four safe
'nes. X. Eberhard got two out of
.hree chances; the total number being

Morris Sheppard.-Although mil
lions of acres have been given and
sold to prospective owners by federal
and state governments, the results
speak their own condemnation. OF
the 10000, 900 families in the United
States nearly IL 100000 own no homes
at all, while less than 100000 own
homes free from incumbrance. In
1870 more than ninety per cent of the
people resided in the rural districts.
Today more than fifty per cent are
crowded in cities. The percentage
OF tenants in the farming sections as
well as in the cities is growing with
an appalling rapidity. One Of the re-
suits of present land policies and con-
ditions is that Of the arabic area OF
the United States hardly one-half is
occupied and scarcely half OF the half
occupied is under actual cultivation.

John Wannamaker.-Busin is go

Last months increase In business was
very large. Banks may wait in their
operations until the government bonds
are assimilated. People may pause
temporarily in their outfitting to ar
range to meet the new conditions. But
he unloosing of billions of dollars
will unloose a flow of prosperity abso-
lutely necessary to sustain the worlds
burden. Governments set the pace in
their expenditures. individuals must
not lag behind. Seven billions Of dol
lars to pay is only $40 per capita in
the United States. Yet seven billions
of dollars put into work at six per
cent is a fair estimate OF the producing
power of money.
