Mexican June corn. The October
crop is good, much better than was
at one time expected.
We was impressed by Mr.. Bud
Smith that he had the best prospect
for good corn crop that he had in
several years. He has finished laying
by his corn. He is one of our best
farmers. Always making his living
at home and some to spare.
Mr.. Roy Egger, Caledonia enter
prising merchant who at all times is
looking after the interest of his Gus
toners, is continually adding to his
stock Of goods. He has recently
added full stock of feed stuff. He
also has the only ladies' ice cream
parlor in Caledonia.
One among the greatest needs in
Caledonia is more homes and business
houses. Every encouragement should
be given people to buy and build their
own homes. Big business helps a
town, but beautiful homes with well
kept flower yards, good schools and
wideawake churches makes a town or
community fit place to live in. There
is quite a number of beautiful build
ing lots in Caledonia, that are growing
up in weeds and briers and becoming
eye sores to the public, that should be
scld to some one who will improve
them. Our village instead of hustling
and trying to build up is slipping down
hill. Already two of our streets have
been fenced up to make pastures for
the cattle. Guess the town fathers
call that modern progress. We are
sure the cows think so.
On last Sunday Rev. B.. F. Lawrence
held his audience spellbound for over
an hour, by his eoquence. He is not
only man Of learning but is elegant
taste and manner as preacher, he is
entitled to considerable distinction.
Mr.. J. M. West, one Of the enter
prising citizens of Hamilton, was in
Caledonia Wednesday. Time has dealt
gently with him, as he seems to have
written no marks upon him in passing
his way.

Feeling Grows That Period
Of Most Severe Strain in

Passed-Buying Power is

Business men enter the new year

over. Yet the feeling undoubtedly
grows that postwar troubles Will
abate from now and that America
has passed the crisis and is now
slowly emerging from the period of
worst strain ana uncertainty.
Business indexes by no means
lend uniform encouragement. Money
is tight and rates will probably con
tinue high. il may be. after the new
year has brought seasonal relief.
Borrowers must limit themselves,
and even essential activities may
lack funds. Exchange tOtters on the
brink of utter decentralization. and

apathetic toward foreign invest

willingness to consider extending a
limited amount Of credit. and the
possible use which may be made Of

reliance.
Prices are still rising. wage de-
mands continue. and sections are
spending lavishly. as the enormous
Christmas trade fully demonstrated.
Extravaganza has not yielded ap-

STOCKS.
The stock market ended the old
year strong and aggressive with
steels, equipments. oils. motors and
specialties favored on the closing
day. Demand was broad and trad
ing active. Total sales approximat-
ed 100000 shares on Wednesday.
The advance took place regardless
of high money rates, which touched
20 and 25 per cent. The first trad
ing day of the new year brought
fresh advances and a general feeling
of confidence as call money dropped
from 1 3 TO 10 and then TO six per
