Prospect Bright for Building.

Very prosperous conditions prevail
in the middle west.
The high price of grain has brought
millions of dollars into that section
of the country. There has been very
little building during the past two
years owing to restrictions on building
which prevailed thruout the country
during the war, but once building is
resumed great deal of it will be car
ried on. The "own your own home
campaign is spreading over the whole
country.

But 1t Would Not Happen.

The farmers national council advo-
Gates government ownership and oper-
alton of railroads, packing plants and
the war emergency fleet. Suppose,
says Leslie's, this principle were car
ried to its logical conclusion. Suppose
the masses should insist that the gov
ernment take over the farms to re-
duce the cost of living! Suppose the
consuming public should bring upon
the government a nationwide demand
that this be done to lower the cost of
foods. What then would happen to
the $226 price for wheat? In taking
over the farms suppose it were done,
not to the basis OF what the farme.
considered his land worth to him, but
at price the government deemed just
under normal conditions. Farmers
would not be SO enthusiastic in their
advocacy OF government ownership if
it were applied to themselves, but that
may be expected if their program as
to other industries be carried out to
its ultimate conclusion.
And this is just what the Farmers
Non Partisan league, in its class legis-
lation crusade will lead the farmers in

of the Russian variety and the sooner
they smell smoke the safer they will

In order to understand where the
throne Of Satan came from and how
II came to Berlin. IL Is necessary to
open the pages Of ancient history and
renew our acquaintance with Perga-
mum.
l'argamnm tPergamos or Pergamon)
was the ancient capital OF Mysin, In
Asia Minor. II was about three miles
north Of the Caucus river and fifteen
or twenty miles from the Aegean sea.
Under the Greek rule OF Attalus |
(24l-l97 B. O. II became not only
powerful city but also the center OF
the artistic and literary life of Asia.
Attalus built many wonderful
temples. alrars and monuments that
attracted the attention of the entire
world. His son Eumenes III (1e7-159
h. c. carried on the policy of his ia
ther. He founded the famous Perga-
mum library. which contAned 100000
volumes. This library WIS later re
moved to Egypt by Antony and pre-
sented by him to Cleopatra.
Aftalus III bequeathed his treasures
and the kingdom of which Pergamum
was the capital TO Rome. and so, at
his death. in 133 b. c., 1t became u
Roman province. This was the first
Roman province on Aslatic soil.
Carl Human, a civil engineer who
had Travelled In Asia Minor. induced
the Berlin museum 10 fit out an expe-
dition to excavate for the hidden
treasures OF ancient Pergamum. In
1886. ut the close of the third cam
paign, Human and a friend named
Come unearthed the great altar and
the site OF the library. Subsequent
expeditions uncovered many treasures.
The great altar was shipped. piece
by piece. to Berlin und re-erected In
the Kaiser Friedrich museum. A few
parts of 1t are In Constantinople.
However. the central and main por,
tIon of Satan's throne is In Berlin.
With the throne OF Satan In Berlin

military ambitions and actions Of the
German government.

How to Make Money More Plentiful.

One way to have more money IN all
the banks available for loans for busi-
ness purposes would be to reduce the
abuse of personal checks.
For instance the volume of money
in transit, due to sending personal
checks long distances, in banks of the
larger clearing house cities, averages
as high as fifty million dollars daily
balance.
The interest on this amount for one
day is s8333, and there are probably
fifty clearing house cities west of the
Mississippi river, meaning a tax on
banking facilities of 100000 day.
1t is estimated that if use Of per
sonal checks was confined to radius
of say one hundred miles from the
banks drawn upon, 10 per cent of tins
loss could be eliminated and 1873 mil
lion dollars actual money released for
moving crops and handling other busi-
ness.
That amount would become available
for short time loans, and at this time
of year banks can use every dollar
that they can get hold of for the actual
requirements of trade.
There is no doubt that the evil of
sending personal checks instead of
bank exchange that is Immediately
available as cash is growing and should
be curbed in some ways.
Beyond the hundred mile limit, if
such u limit could be adopted, it takes
two to eight days to collect person
al check and there is loss of time, ex-
pense and bookkeeping.

The world is short of laborers. In
migration to this country has been cut
off since 1914; two million men in this
country are being retained in army and
navy and large number were incap-
itated by war. Resumption of normal
industrial conditions can mean moth

Lumber is cheaper in proportion than
farm and other products and it is fol-
