WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW
Prepared for the Times by the First
National Bank in ST. Louis

At the present time indications
seem to point to continued high prices
in most staple lines for the immediate
future Crop indications promise no
relief in food prices. While predic-
tions are still premature for the 1920
crops, the outlook is not favorable.
Estimates place the wheat crop at
about 25 per cont less than last year.
The cotton crop for 1920 promises to
be little better than that Of 1919. The
planting of corn and other grains is
being conducted under adverse wealth
er conditions this spring and as re-
suit does not promise any too we'll.
In addition, agricultural costs have
advanced enormously Intensive farm
ing is suffering under exceptionally
adverse conditions both as regards
the cost of labor, which in manv in
stances is unobtainable al anv price,
and also with respect to fertilizer. 1t
would thus appear that circumstances
at present are entirely adverse to a
rover level in food prices during the
present year A combination OF ad
verse weather conditions, labor short
age and high agricultural expenses
are all working against satisfactory
crops in 1920.
When the above factors are taken
into consideration with regard to our
present industrial situation there ap-
pears but little possibility of any gem
eral price reduction in the immediate
future. Manufacturing costs are still
increasing, labor is demanding high
er wages and the demand for com
modities continues undated. As
lcng as we are faced with short
food supply and until production
catches up with demand, wages must
remain high With these factors pre-
dominant prices will continue at their
present level. Unless some unfore-
seen factor should enter upon the sit
nation the dominant forces Of the
present seem to indicate continued
high prices for the months immediate
ly ahead

TIMES
A PIONEER

visiting her son Grover and his fam
lily at Bayonne, New Jersey for The
past three months, passed through
Harrison last week, stopping only
long enough to greet friends and say
goodbye, before going on to her home.
stead in Colorado.
Mrs. Baker has lived, for the last
three years, excepting short vacations
on her $40 acres OF grazing land in
Colorado, forty miles from Puebu.
During her life on her homestead.
she has lived alone, in a little cabin,
three and one half miles from her
nearest neighbor. At times she has
not seen a human being ijr twelve
days.
The first two years of her existence
on her homestead, she carried the
water she used, three quarters OF a
mile. until on one of her vacations,
the neighbors picked Up the little
cabin and moved it nearer to the
spring.
Mrs. Baker has done 4 great 1eal
of the work required by the Govern
ment with her own hands. Last year
she cultivated two acres Of corn and
potatoes with no assistance whatever,
except the first breaking Of the soil,
All her supplies are hauled from
Pueblo. and the nearest Post office Is
fifteen miles awey. The mail, how
ever, is brought within seven miles of
her home by a Mexican merchant,
and from there is distributed by the
neighbOrs.
An interesting fact about Mrs. Ba-
ker is, that this is the third time that
she has been a pioneer. She came to
Arkansas from Missouri with her par
ents. when but a child, during recon
struction days, where she endured the
privations, and hardships of a new,
undevelOped country.
During her married life, she lived in
the Panhandle on the plains of Texas.
She was left widow and from Texas
she returned to Fayetteville, Arkan-
sas, where she educated her two boys
in the University.
Now that Mrs. Bakers two sons are
married and have families of their
own, she felt free from further respon-
sibility and so conceived the idea OF
taking a homestead in the West,
"Out West" there is a freedom
which surpasses all other sections OF
the country. There, woman is made
to feel that although time ras caused
the burrows in her brow, and the sill
yer in her hair, she is yet useful aud
capable of accomplishing many things
Mrs. Baker has caught the inspiration,
and has the hope, courage and con
fidence necessary to succeed.
Mrs. Baker is woman refined and
intellectual, and Of indomitable conr-
age She is a great student, deep
thinker, and intensely interested in
"Betterment' of every kind. And she
is deeply spiritual. Had it not been
for her trust in the Divine protection
of God she could not have lived
alone for months in a strange coun-
try, away from friends and loved ones.
This is Mrs. Bakers last year on
her homestead. She say that heE
plans are not fully made regarding
her future after the final proofs have
been made.

There are a good many "wobblies"
in Kendrick these days, since the flu
epidemic.
DR.. j. T. Moser went to Spokane
the first of the week on business.
l.. &. Peterson, deputy sheriff OF
Latah County, was in Kendrick
last Saturday on business.
Old timers marvel at the new
tangled diseases such as the flu, and
wonder why it is that diseases, like
other things seem to go out of date.
1t is seldom you hear of anyone out
side of Missouri ever having the
itch. and yet our fathers in their
boyhood days seemed to be quite
familiar with the disease. Infam-
matory rheumatism and st. Vitus
Dance used to be considered a COM
bination of diseases that would
bring considerable discomfort to an
individual if he were visited with
both at one and the same time.
However, since the flu, an equally
disastrous visitation would be the
combination of flu and the itch.
Anyone with as little energy as a
flu c~onvalescent could get very
little peace of mind if he had the
itch and couldn't scratch.

Beauty,

Animals living in nature are every
where beautiful but ii is only among
men that ugliness flourishes. Savages
nearly everywhere are gracious and
harmonious it is only among the civil
lied that harshness and discord are
permitted to prevail. If, the eugenic
ideals that are now floating before
mems eyes never lead us to any
heaven at all, but merely discourage
among us the generation of human
creatures below the level of decent
savagery, they will serve their turn

X Last Saturday afternoon the
house of A. R. Lock caught fire,
but was extinguished before very
much damage was done but not un-
til a good part of the furniture had
been moved out. The cause of the
fire was from a perfectly good all
steel smoke house, which was set
up on the back porch and Arthur
was just trying 1T out. The smoke
house worked so good that it set
fire to the building, the flames get
ting between the walls of the house
and was not checked until part
of the shingles we're torn off and
water applied between the walls.
