ATLANTA,

Atlanta, April Ideal weather
during Easter week coupled with
bargain sales in all the larger de-
partment stores has resulted in
volume of retail trade that far ex-
ceeds that of year ago and which
compares favorabIy with the Christ
mas rush in 1921. Stores have been
crowded with shoppers since Mon
Gay and although business has
been far above expectations, it is
believed Saturday will be the ban
ner day of the week.
Wholesalers and jobbers, how
ever, are complaining of the dis
inclination of merchants to stock
far ahead. The-tendency to buy for
Immediate needs only is still in evil
dence. Collections are good, how
ever, frozen credits are thawing
out and the banking position in
the sixth federal reserve district IS
as sound as could be hoped for
In the country districts farmers
are preparing the ground for spring
crops which will be more greatly
diversified this year than ever be-
fore. The larger part of the pro-
duce will be disposed of through
the cooperative marketing bureau.
Building in Atlanta since the first
OF the year already entails pro-
posed expenditure of $5,457 600
which is record for this city for
all time.

DETROIT.

Detroit, April 14.-Retail bust
ness is well into its upward swing
here. Intermittent cold spells have
made buying somewhat irregular
but reports to the Retail Merchants
bureau show increases in the vol
ume of weekly turnovers. The fac
tor behind the retail trade ad-
vance is the increase in industrial
payrolls which have grown every
week since Jan. 1. Wholesale
prices of merchandise are holding
steady and advances are predicted
in a few lines. Downtown retail
stores have added scores of sales
people in the last fortnight. Mer-
chants say only small portion of
the increased business is due di-
rectly TO the Easter trade.
The situation in the Lake Supe-
rior iron district has shown a ma
terial forward progress since the
first of this month. Several mines
have begun shipping ore by rail
and others have orders in sight
which promise early resumption of
mining work The Great Northern
railway will spend $3,500,000 at Su-
Ierior City for construction of a
new steel ore dock.
Industrial employment took an
other abrupt jump this week. the
total reaching 100000 workers or
an increase of $500 over last
weeks total.

ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis, April 14.-Progressive
;nproYement Is manifest in con-
srruction work in this district yet
mis- is coupled with the utmost
conservatism In the wholesale and
retaiI merchandising fields. The
growing vigor of manufacture is
sttributed to small building opera
tious everywhere. the increased
buyfng power of the farmers and
the building and repair of equip
ment and Improvement of tracks
and roadbeds by the railroads.
Capital is showing a willingness
10 invest in real estate and building
projects. Realty sales are increas-
ing and many plans for mercantile
buildings and apartment houses are
under way. In addition there is a
greater disposition toward expan-
sion in the Industrial corporations
than has been observed in this part
of the country for some time. This
industrial activity is explained by
manufacturers by the desire to sys-
tematize production Money is very
easy but collections are eccentric
and wholesale and retail merchants
are proceeding on most cautious
lines. They are Hquidating their
current obligations promptly for
they are buying cautiously and set
Elements keep pace with sales

RIIRAL(REI)II
ASSOCIATION

The board Of directors of the Cen
trail Wisconsin Development associa-
ton, to which was referred the mat
ter Of a rural credit association, sug-
gested at a meeting in this city recent
ly, as the best means of solving the ru-
raj credits problem, met in Wausau
last week and outlined a plan of or
ganization. It is expected that the
plan will be approved at another meet
ing, to be held in Stevens Point, Au-
gust 10. The meeting was attended by
County Agent R. A. Peterson of this
city.
The purpose of the credit association
is to help farmers in making long time
loans for the development of their
farms. The association will also be
help to the banks of this district
which have been unable to accommo-
date farmers in long time loans. It
will be a subsidiary CT the develop
ment association which is composed
of representative of banks, and its
purpose is to develop central Wiscon-
sin, in which efforts rural credits is a
very important factor.

nAu,ANEW TYPE
ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO LET'S
HIS WORK TALK FOR HIM.

William ]. Morgan, the fair, fear
less, fighting attorney general, who
IN the two years that he has held the
state office, has made his name synon-
imous with trust buster" is making
a whirlwind campaign for the repub-
Hcan nomination for governor on the
Independent Progressive Republican
ticket.
Gaunt and -boned, tall and deep
eyed, with hands that show clearly
the scars OF grim toll he endured as
section hand and quarry laborer to
win for himself an education, Morgan,
heralded as the man of the hour, is
in his fight for the gubernatorial nom
ination eclips.ng his epoch-making
contest in 1929 when he won the at
torney generalship at the, primary by
the largest vote on the ticket in the
face Of ferceIy concentrated opposi-
ton of his highly organized and well
financed opponents.
Morgan is a new man in politics.
Until he entered the attorney general
fight in 1920 on straight-out anti
Nonpartisan league issue he had never

is apparent. 70 them study Is 3 hard
ship that Is forced apoa them By RHes
ental authority,
How. then. can We wake the ctii-
dreh up and induce them to take
stronger personal interest IN exsell-
ing IN their studies? How can we IN
duce them to strive to be at the head
of their respective classes?
Honors in marking do not appeal to
them as strongly as they do to the a
dult. The Juvenile mind has not reach
ed the point where it can appreciate
to the full the gIories of 90 or leo per
cent.
What, then, will appeal to their
young minds? What will supply the
incentive that new seems SO often alb
sent?
Prizes for exeelling in study!
Let half dozen prizes be award
ed~in each grade each month, so that
all will have a fair show in the com
petition A single prize would not be
sufficient. Toe often it would be a
foregone conclusion, and the incentive
to excel would be destroyed.
Every child knows what it means
to 'get prize" It is an event that
overshadows many others with them.
They will work for d prize when 9th
erwise their inclination is for play,
1t would cost a few dollars for our
public school officials to arrange a Sc
ries Of monthly prizes, but it would
be money spent to the very best adj
vantage.
At any rate, the subject is worth
discussing
Speak up and be heard.

held public office, though always vi
tally interested in state and national
| affairs. So strong were his conYic-
| tons of the grave danger facing his
| native state from the incubus of SO
| cialist agitation disguised as the Non
| partisan League that he accepted the
challenge, when it appeared as if the
fight would go by default, and became
a candidate for attorney general just
| four weeks before the primary cleo
| ton. His magnificent fighting cam.
| paign, his courage, his high idealism
captured the popular mind as no one
man in state politics has done for
many years and he was turned in a
winner by a huge majority.
Unabating his fervor for accomplish
ment, Morgan took hold Of the attor-
| ney generals job and after giving it
thorough going over asked the Legis-
! lature for an extension Of power in the
antitrust and price-fixing laws He
| was given his request and he set to
| work
y,
there were no pictures in the paper,
no speeches and defamation of
threats Or denunciations. But the
state suddenly woke up to the fact
that due to the work Of William j.
Morgan, bread for instance, had in
Milwaukee been reduced 2 cents a
loaf, the tobacco trust had been as
sailed, Illinois was challenged in a
suit for taking water from Lake Michi~
gan in such enormous quantities as
to lower the lake level, entailing mil
lions of dollars in Increased transpOr-
tation costs to Wisconsin people, lu1n-
Der, plumbing and numerous other
price-fxing combinations had been
called to account.
The office Of attorney general,
looked upon as sort of limbo Of po-
litical prestige and an easy stepping
stone to something else, has become
in the hands of William J. Morgan
in Is months the outstanding state
office Of the entire state administra-
ton for the biennium OF 1922
"BnT' Morgan, the man, has a
strong appeal to the people of Wiscon-
sin and with that he brings what he
calls his sacred contract with the
people, platform that establishes
a new highwater mark for farseeing
and constructive craftsmanship.
Everywhere men and women are
turning out to meet and greet Morgan
One of the significant things in his
campaign is the interest taken by the
women in his candidacy. No meeting
regardless Of what hour in the day
or how small the place that there are
not some women present. In most
places women are active on commit
tees arranging for his meetings.
IF you believe that l have carried
out my pledges in 1920 to the best of
all opportunities then isn't it reason
able to believe that l will carry out
this contract with you?" Morgan asks.
Morgan was nominated by the Re
publican state conference of more than
thousand men and women delegates
from all counties. He heads the ticket
with Riley Young for Lieutenant
governor, Martin J. Paulsen for sec
rotary OF state, John F. Baker for at
torney general, Henry Johnson for
state treasurer, and William A Gan
field for United States senator. Each
and all stand for the principles enun-
ciated at the Nil eaukee> conference
and the principles Of progress OF vii
liam J. Morgan.
