ENJOYING
GREAT PROSPERITY
Many Retiring to Private Life.
Much Activity in Farm
Realty Market.

Owing 10 the unprecedented era
OF prosperity farmers have been en-
joying the past year quite a re-
spectacle number of them are sell
ing out their holdings and retiring
20 private life 10 enjoy the fruits of
their labors. 1t is claimed there
was never a time in the farm realty
business in St. Joseph county when
so many farms were on the market,
or when so many purchasers were
on hand 70 snap them up.
Prospects for the present year in
this line, according 10 real estate
men, are excellent, in fact were
never better, and there were never
as many anxious buyers abroad.
While the yield of the past year was
not up 20 normal the prices obtained
for the products of the farm have
brought the profits away above the
average. With the threatened trou-
BILE with Germany lowering over the
nation it is claimed that farm
products will continue to climb still
higher. The price of horses, which
has been declining during the past
year. has already received an i'm
petus owing to the threatened war
cloud, and values have commenced
to advance.
Earn 20 Per Cent.
Garmire and Petro. local realty
men, have on their list a farm of
239 acres located in st. Joseph coun-
ty, which paid its owner $14,S0O for
the years crop, or a net profit of
better than % per cent on the pur-
chase price. There were under cul-
tivation on this particular farm, $50
acres peppermint, 10 acres hay. eight
acres potatoes and 80 acres corn.
The mint average was 40 pounds to
the acre.
Quite a few farmers south Of Mish-
awake are dispOsing of their farms.
Some of them are going south with
the families for the winter. while
others are enjoying themselves by
paying frequent visits to the large
cities, attending the automobile
shows. and enjoying themselves as
farmers know how once they cut
loose from the daily grind of the
farm.
Plethora of Money.
II is said there is such a plethora
of money in the farmers hands
around the vicinity of Mishawaka at
the present time that the necessity
for a bank at Wyatt with its pOpula-
ion of 200 was so urgent that live
Mishawakans lost no time in apply
ing for a charter. The new finan-
ciaI institution Will be opened within
few weeks.
Wyatt is 10 miles south of Mish-
awake and is the center of rich
farming community.

senators will support Pope for CON-
firmation. The local office it is stated
will remain in the hands of the as
sistant postmaster, Mr.. Easley, until
Mr. Pope is nominated and confirmed.
The appointment of a postmaster
to succeed Traxler is the climax to
a peculiar situation created when
Traxler was reinstated as postmaster
after he announced that he had re-
signed to run for congress in the
Fourth district, opposing Nichols. He
was overwhelmingly defeated and
shortly after the election he succeeded
in regaining the postmastership.
Mr.. Pope is we'll known throughout
South and North Carolina. He is South
Carolina State secretary Of the Trav-
elers' Protective association and is
United Commercial Travellers junior
counsellor for North and South Car
olina. He travels from Greenville for

Slight Hopes for Peaceful Relations to
Continue.

Berlin, Feb. 5-(via London) -
Peaceful continuance Of German
American relations after the depar-
ture Of the respective embassies at
Washington and Berlin in the sense
indicated by President Wilson in his
address to congress, appears to be
very slight, judging by all the infor-
nation, some Of the highest authen-
ITCHY. gathered by the Associated
Press.
1t was stated positively in high po-
litical circles that the German orders
for the conduct Of q submarine war
could not, and would ont be modified !;
chat in Germany the determination to
enforce the prohibited zone order was
absolute and final and that the only
security for shipping was avoidance of
the prohibited zone.
Germany, so the Associated Press
was informed, resorted to this meas
ure ter the shameful rejection by
the entente powers of peace over
lures, and only after the fullest de-
liberation Of the imperative weapon
in defense Of it's threatened interests;
Germany cannot relinquish this wea-
pon-the only one promising a speedy
END to the war-reluctant as Ger
many was to take this stem.
The government had hoped that the
United States would see it in this
llght' and was, and is, actuated by no
animosity to the United States in its
determination. Germany, therefore,
so the high informant of the Associat
ed Press continued, is very keenly
disappointed and grieved by the terms
of Mr.. Wilson's message, but the gov. d..
ernment cannot alter or modify the
course upon which it has determined.
This official adds:
We can only hope and trust that
American ships and American citizens
viii avoid the danger zone laid down
in the German memorandum"
