GET RICH QUICK
FEVER IN LONDON
No Lack OF Funds on Exchange.
Fortunes Made and Spent
Hastily.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The new craze
to get rich quick by means OF specu-
Iation is responsible for an endless
torrent OF money pouring into the
London Stock Exchange.
This extraordinary city boom, al
ready referred to In the Daily Ex-
press, has two phases. First, there
lis the abnormal number OF new com
panies, and OF existing concerns with
new capital issues for peace time de-
velopment. They are appealing for
millions of money. and obtaining II
easily. Then there is the rush by all
classes of the public for any form
OF speculative investment. The stock
exchange hardly remembers a period
when so much money was readily
Forthcoming. Members handle mil
lions each day.
Brokers Get Money.
All dealings on the exchange are
at present full cash transactions. Busi-
ness in margins is ruled out OF or
der. This means that vast Sums OF
money pass between brokers at a set
tlement. Stock brokers are obtaining
more clients than many OF them know
how TO handle.
People, who, before the war never
dreamed of a city gamble are now
indulging lin II cheerily. They include
working men and humble commercial
employees, who desire by share-deai-
ing to extend their earnings to- meet
the cost of living. Women take a
prominent part. There is evidence OF
these facts on every hand. One meets
people at dinner tables and In CLUBS
whose main topic OF conversation Is
the price OF oils. In fact. oil shares
are talked of everywhere.
big stock business.
The Stock Exchange finds II impos-
sible TO do all it's necessary business
during the official hours OF opening
from lO:45 a. m. to p. m. A new
street market has sprung up In
Tbrogmorton street during the past
two weeks. The street. after the clos
ing of the house until nearly Q
o'clock, is turmoil OF activity. "A
iostling crowd fills the center or the
thoroughfare. There is clamor oi
shouting as the late prices are made
and taken. 1t Is a reproduction on a

Six thousand members and their
authorized clerks, who wear the blue
and white button of admittance, are
entitled to enter the exchange, and
1t is quite common to find 5000 OF
them there at once. All markets are

a good dash of encouragement and

Scores Of women's clubs, many au-
diences at farmers Institutes, and
other groups Of farmers and farm
workers in the state have heard her
intimate, enthusiastic, inspiring and
chatty talks. In recognition of her
work among farm homes of the state
the University Of Wisconsin has given
her testimonial of appreciation.
"How can we gain relief from the
top-notch prices of today?" an inter
viewer asked her while ago. well,
Mrs. Jones replied earnestly, 1--WE can
learn to do without a great many
things, we can live more simply, we
can make what we have last longer,
we can gain more knowledge Of foods,
and we can buy and use foods in
cheaper and bulkier form. You know
there can be no profiteering without the
profligate spender."

expresses it, gets boost from Mrs.

FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Nellie Sawyer Kedzie Jones,
Booster for Better
Farm Living.

Sympathy with everyone with whom
she comes in contact, and responsive
ness to the wishes and feelings Of
others are undoubtedly the traits which
keep Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones a piO-
neer in boosting better homemaking.
Is Mrs. Jones a prominent farmer?
Well, if hOmemaking is part Of farm
ing or Of farm life, and if strenuous
efforts to aid in lettering home con-
dltiOns on the farm are qualities Of
farm leader, then Mrs. Jones certainly
belongs near the head Of a list of Bad
ger farmer leaders. At present her
work as state leader of the home
demonstration agents is aiding her in
rounding out her years Of work direct
ed toward the improvement of rural
life
Mrs. Jones was born on a farm in
Somerset County, Maine, and spent
much of her girlhood days On a farm
in Franklin county, Kansas. For five
years she was the head Of the home
economics department of the Kansas
Agricultural college, and at the end
of that time she organized a similar
department at the Bradley Polytech-
nical institute at Peoria, III. She con-
tinued this work until her marriage to
DR.. Howard Jones. Since then she
has been active in the various farm
communities in which she has lived,
and has supplemented such work on
the lecture platform and through her
stories and letters which have ap-
peared in various magazines.
People in at least 25 states have
heard her lectures on various aspects
of farm life in which she has ex-
pressed her appreciation of the advan-
tages of life on the farm. Her optimis-
tic letters ito Janet from Aunt Mel
lie," which she wrote from her home
on Smoky Hill farm at Auburndale,
Wis, were featured a few years ago
in an eastern publication. They are
an excellent example Of her character
