Once he looked up from the ledger

really did see the bright figure Of the

''Bless mel" croaked Mr.. Stagg
'sThat dog of yours, Car'lyn May, will

Carolyn May told him. A man hat

Aunty Rose had sent the little CIR
down to tell Mr.. Stagg to come home
and "drive his own bargain"
"Well, well," said Mr.. Stagg, lock

right out and tend to it. Don't Sc,
why the man couldn't have waited til

"Oh, uncle! may ! stay, toe? M

I Can is a ruler of nations,
With power to do and to dare;
I Can't fills the lowest stations
And skulks in the realm of despair.
l Can wears the crown of the master
Whose forces no foe can turn back;
1 Can't flies the flag of disaster
And surrenders at every attack.

Who sits on the throne of success;

Who falters and lags in distress.

u. S. READY TO AID

FEDERAL FUNDS TO BE LOANED
FROM SPOKANE FOR SEED
$4,000 USED IN N. W.
THROUGH FEDERAL LAND BANK
Four Northwestern States Supplied
With Money to Purchase Spring
Wheat Seed-lncreased Yield
to BE Nearly 6,0o0, 900 Blu.

Through the federal land bank OF
Spokane approximately $1,5OO,0OO has
been made available to farmers Of the
four northwestern states In the form
Of loans for the purchase of spring
wheat for seed purposes. In the opin-
ion Of D. G. O'Shea, president OF the
bank, this sum should mean the ad-
ditional production of 100000 BUSH
els of wheat, worth at least $12,0OO,-
900 this summer.
able from the special allotment Of $5,-
100000 last fall.
A portion Of the money was dis
tributed to buy seed grain for all
planting. In the northwest only
about 100000 was distributed, as the
requirements were rigid.A borrower
was obliged to show that he had no
commercial credit, had sustained two
lrop failures in succession and he
was only allowed a maximum of $500
on the basis Of So an acre. The spring
conditions were slightly more gener.
ous, the maximum being raised to
$500 on the basis of $5 an acre. b
"All the money has been paid on
the loans approved last fall" said
Mr., O'Shea. "The money on the
spring loans will not be paid until
we are assured by the county agent
or. federal extension representative
that the seed is in the ground. Ap
plications closed on February 1, most
of them coming from Montana farm
ers. A few came from farmers in
Washington who, generally speaking
could not qualify because their lar
ger holdings made the $500 maximum
inadequate for their needs.
Cash Now Available.
'All these applications have nov
been passed on and certificates is
sued where the loans were approved
On these certificates the farmers cal
borrow through the usual channels. .
The sum of $1,500,000 loaned in tn
northwest on the basis of S. an acr
means the seeding Of 100000 acre
that might otherwise not have bee
seeded, according to Mr.. O'Shea..

Butter-The market continues un-
changed at 61c for prints, &c for car
tons and 6O@61c for butterfat. How
ever, with the near approach of the
season of heavy production, an easier
market may be expected within the
next few weeks.
Cheese-There is an end of the sea-
son scarcity, generally, and prices
are up or cents on full creams.
However, there is still low price
cheese offering in this market with
the result that quotations have
widened, running 30@35c. Other
makes not materially changed.
Eggs Under continued warm
weather production is enlarging rap
idly and local quotations are off SO
cents, quoting $11.50 to the producer,
jobbing at about $3.50.
Poultry-no changes since the ad-
vances noted last week, which put
the market in nominal position, as
prices are practically prohibitive and
there is little offering anyway.
Fresh Meats-Union stock yards re-
ports receipts for the week ended

hogs and 68 sheep. The hog market
continues strong, with further ad.

change in the dressed list is an ad

MAYBE YOU DID and maybe you
 didn't know that there was fashion show in Phoenix It is a fashion show in progress today and every day for the frOckS that are being eXhib- lted at Goldwaters are worthy of call ing out every woman devotee of dress. We nave never seen a more Startingly smart collection of afternoon frecks- of the dressy type and others built along more simple lines. F'rocks of fashionable fabrics for spring and al- ready the dainty organdies for later in the season, ginghams, too, and voiles for the days that follow Easter. The suits are unusually good looking and so are the effective blouses and skirts that are in vogue just now. The Easter hats are stunning, large straws and other smaller ones as well as the sailors that are always smart.
 
 no YOU know that the price of labor
 remains as high as at any time during the war period. although ma terials are 10 to 20 per cent cheaper, according to George Hageman. Mir Hageman told us that the manufac- turer was still getting big prices and that it was only by buying by carload lots he was able to sell sinks, bath tubs, lavatories and closets at much less than the other shops. He buys to sell-not to keep.
 ON ACCOUNT of the embargo dur
 ing the war, no bulbs were shipped to this country so that an Easter must pass by without the famous Lily, sug- gestive of the day. Phoenix is not faring any the worse than any other city in this country. which will be destitute of the Easter lily. The Dono- | frio Floral department, however. has such a wealth of interesting substitutes that it really will not be greatly missed if at all. With his usual artistic clev- erness, Charlie Morton is planning Easter baskets and then. too, there will be the calla lily, besides every va riety of spring bloom to express a mes- sage of love and greeting on Easter 1 morning.
 | JOYOUS little Easter conceits are being offered by Donofrio. Literally a thousand and one fads and fancies 1 that tend to make the season happy for the kiddies are being shown at the confectioners. Then, too, Dono- | frio's has a number of interesting items for milady who plans to entertain dur Ing EaStertIme, and If she has her own ideas all she needs must do to have | them carried out is to leave her order Table decoration, favors and the menu itself will be cared for by this firm.
