TIMES ARE GOOD
Good Business Is in Sight, But
Not Seen Everywhere.
Farmers Still Using Patched
Up Implements, Banker Finds.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 17.-Good
business is in sight, altho not yet here
in many lines, says a report on 1.-The
Condition of Western Business is
sued by Thornton Cooke, president OF
the Columbia National bank here
Corn at typical country points in
north central Kansas" says the re-
port, has risen from 80 cents to so,
and when fed to hogs is worth rs
cents to so cents, hogs having gone up
up 81 to SO per hundredweight from
the low price of last fall. Cattle are
up on the average perhaps $3.50, cows
showing the full advance. Every now
and then the market reports show
sales of fat cattle for export to Eu-
rope. Years ago this was a feature
of the Kansas City and Chicago mar
ketS, but it has been almost unknown
of recent years. Lambs are up Sc per
hundred from last years low figure.
These price advances came after
most of the grain and a good deal of
the available meat animals had been
marketed, but enough remained for
shipment to bring in a good deal of
money and afford noticeable relief
from the financial strain. The better
feeling in the west is also helped by
the crop prospects
The farmers are still economizing,
naturally, for however satisfactory the
take a good deal of it to pay their cur
rent debts and their expenses are still
high.
Farmers still are tinkering up their
old implements. One Kansas City
manufacturer has been furnishing re-
pairs for hay presses sold twenty-five
years ago.
Tractors have been much reduced
in price, but are still not selling. The
Horse Association of America is cir
cuIating propaganda in favor of horse
propelled machinery. and in fact.
horses are so cheap that many farm
ers consider that economy is still on
that side.
1.-The economy practiced by almost
the whole population has resulted in
the accumulation of capital and large
amounts of this are being lent to for
eign countries. The proceeds are used
directly or indirectly to pay for ex-
ports from this country, thus serving
to maintain our position in world
trade.
unfortunately many fraudulent do
mestio stock and bond issues are
being sold by constituencies promo
tiers. Bankers will help themselves
and their communities by taking time
to investigate and by advisiting their
and customers frankly"

Vide "The Outline"
"This great period Of mesozoic life, this sec
ond volume in the book of life, is indeed an
amazing story of the reptian life proliferat-
ing and developing. But the most striking
thing of all the story remains to be told.
Right up to the latest mesozoic rocks we find
all these reptilian orders we have enumerated
still fourishing unchallenged. There is no
hint Of an enemy competitor to them in
the relics we find Of their world. Then the
record is broken. We do not know how long
a time the break represents; many pages may
be missing here, pages that may represent
Sc he great cataclysmic climatic change. When
next we find abundant traces of the land plants
and the land animals of the earth this great
multitude of reptile species had gone. For
the most part they have left no descendants.
They have been 'wiped out" The pterodac-
tyls have gone absolutely; of the plesiosaurs
and ichthyosaurs none is alive; the mesosaurs
have gone. A new kind Of life is in
possession of the world.
"This apparently abrupt ending up of the
reptiles is beyond all question the most strik-
ing revolution in the whole history of the earth
before the coming Of mankind"

and Prometheus, firing the imagination of

There man hunts out the unknown, exotic

According to Professor Clemnti Onelli di-
rector of the Geological Gardens at Buenos
Ayres, who is the moving spirit of the expedi-
ton now under way, Martin Sheffield,
American friend of his, told him of strange
animal with swanlike neck swimming in the
Esquel region. In 1918 an Englishman re-
ported a similar beast In 1893 the Norwegian
scientist Waag made report of seeing the fresh
tracks of very large animal in the Santa
Cruz territory, and corroboration came later
from settlers.
Speaking of the crocodile branch of the
reptiles of the mesozoic period, H. G. Wells in
his "Outline of History" writes "The plesio
saurs and the ichthyosaurs were two groups
which have left no living representative; they
were huge reptiles returning to whalelke life

the plesiosaurs, measured thirty feet from
