earned the title of "a pioneer OF
pioneers OF him one biographer
says:
He holds and merits place
among the representative legal prac-
titioners of this section, and the
story in his life, while not dramatic

typical example of that alert Amer
ican spirit which has enabled many
an individual to rise from obscurity
to a position of affluence and re-
known solely through native talent,
,domitable perseverance and single
Aess of purpose.

His worldly possessions at that
time, he carried in a hand bag; his
library consisted of code of Iowa
and a couple of text books.
At the first general election in
Clark county in 1882 he was elected
register of deeds, which office he
| filled for two years. In addition he
acted as deputy clerk of courts and
as deputy treasurer. After serving
as a delegate at both constitutional

can forces, and the father resigned

BIC INDUSTRIES
MUCH IMPROVED
MARKED INCREASE IN AUTOMO-
BILE BUSINESS AND IN BUILD
ING NOTED LAST MONTH.

Washington, April 4.-Improye-
ment in basic industries. especially
railway equipment, steel, copper and
other metals has been the outstand-
ing feature. in business development
during the past few weeks, the fed
eral reserve board declared In its
monthly review of business and IL
nancial conditions throughout the
country, made public last night. "A
marked increase in automobile pro-
duction during the month also was
noted as well as continued advance
in building activities.
AS against this favorable trend,
the board asserted, variety OF con-
ditions have operated to offset the
encouraging improvement noted In
textiles during the winter. Promin-
ent among these unfavorable influ-
ences were disturbed relations with
labor as well as uncertain production
costs and lack of orders.
Agriculturally, the month has
been one of favorable development
while a marked, even If still linn
tied decrease in unemployment IL
under way. Some advance in whole
some prices was reported for the
month, this being attributed to the
advance in agricultural prices. Tht
process of evening up prices through
inter-indnstrial adjustment is still in
complete, the board asserted.

Higher Hog Prices

Kansas City, Mo-, April 4.-Farm-
ers told at Fridays department of
agriculture hearing on hog market
ing practices how they succeeded in
getting a larger share of the price
hogs brought on the Kansas City
market. Farmers shipping associa-

cut in two the margin" between the
price paid the farmers and the prices
paid on the Kansas City market.
LYDIA, Horsford, farmer, of Hick-
ory, Mo-, testified that $50 farmers
formed q cooperative shipping as
sociation in November, 1920, be-
cause we felt We were not getting
enough for our stock" At that time
Horsford said farmers, who sold to
shippers in the country, were getting
from $3.50 to 81 per 100 pounds less
than the top market price of hogs In
Kansas City for the day. Now the

FAMILY GROCERY
BILL SOON BACK
GRADUAL REDUCTION IN THE
PRICE OF HOUSEHOLD SUP
PLIES.

Washington, April Aft food pri-
ces continue to drop for the next two
to three lyears as they have during
the last year, the family grocery bill
soon will be back to the pre-war le-
vel of 1914.
Computations based on compila-
tions made public Sunday by the de-
partment of labor on food cost re-
ductions in 10 representative Ameri-
can cities for the year ending March
is, show the back to normal trend
AS compared with the average
cost in the year 1913 the retail cost
of food in these 10 cities on March
Is, 1921, was 54 per cent higher
than eight years before, whereas on
March Is, 1922, it had dropped to
3S per cent. In other words, a dol
lars worth of food in 1913. would
cost $1.54, as an average at a year
ago and only $1.3S now, drop of
Is cents, or 10.4 per cent.
Continuing this same 10.4 per
cent decline, the cost next March
would be S1.24, in the spring OF
1924 only Sill and in 1925 back
TO an even 81.
From February Is to March Is,
1922. prices fell off an average of
1t per cent This ratio, however,
lis not likely to hold up fpr the year
BY striking an average between
last years percentage of 10.4 and
the present rate of 20.4 there is a
prospective decline of 1914 for the
current year in sight. This would
bring the present s1.3S down to
s1.19 by next spring and to $101 by
the spring of 1924. within / cent of
the 1913 dollar buying power.
The 10 cities considered in these
computations are Scranton, b. 80
New Orleans, Detroit, Phil
Cincinnati, Minneapolis, San
co, Little Rock and Louisv a. OF
these, Scranton was the highest, be-
ing AZ per cent on March Is over
the 1913 average, and Louisville the
lowest at 80 per cent the others be-
ing in the order named, Chicago and
New Orleans AZ, Detroit and Phila-
delphia Al, Cincinnati and Minneap-
Ollie 38, San Francisco 33 and Little
Rock 80. March Is, 1921, these ci-
ties ranged from SO to As per cent
above 1913, and February Is, 1922,
from 81 to 81 per cent up.

CONDITION
IN WEEK S BUSINESS
GENERAL INDIFFERENCE T O
COAL STRIKE EXCEPT CLOSE
TO MINES.

New York, April 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
A curiously mixed, in fact decid-
edly spotted condition exists in trade
and industrial lines as the country
enters the shadow of the coal strike.
First and foremost, there appears
the same indifference to this threat
ened labor trouble previously not
noted except in the immediate neigh
borhoods of the mines where union
miners are expected to strike, where
trade buying is and has been re-
stricted.
Owing probably to the lateness of
Easter and the widespread stormy
and cold being noted in different
sections reports from jobbing and re-
tail trade in wearing apparel, fur
nishings and spring attire generally
are nothing to get excited about
while primary markets for cottons
silks and woolens betray the same
unsettlement previously noted with
trading largely on the quite side ex
cept in the case of exports buying oi
sheetings and some other heavy cot
tons induced by recent price cuts
Trading for the far future in the ap
parel lines in fact appears extremely
cautious except in the novelty lines
Raw wool is easier in price and there
is reported fear that New Englant
may involve important woolen ant
worsted interests.

NEW SCHEDULE FOR COM
PENSATION MEN AND
TEAMS.

ed as high as $40 and s12 per day.
The reduction in wages paid men

low as possible, and at the same time
perform necessary road work and
keep up the proper degree of devel-
