WASHINGTON. Dee. 21.-Amer-
lean agriculture in Is months has
affected one of the most sensation
al economic recoveries in history,
Eugene Never Jr.. managing direc-
tor of the War Finance Corporation
today declared in his annual report
to President Harding.
"The farmer and stockmen are
not yet completely out of the woods.
but in spite of the local difficulties
here and there and unsatisfactory
markets for some commodities, their
position on the whole has been
greatly strengthened. - Meyers
said. "Thev are still suffering
from burden of debt, the after
math of the crisis, and some thou
sands of banking institutions in the
country districts are in an over-ex-
tended condition. But probably at
no time in our history has there
been so rapid and extensive devel-
opment in our situation as during
the past Is months.

ness Ethics day, one of the regular
themes for periodical consideration
in all Rotary Clubs, and which has
been postponed for several weeks in

tant matters crowding the schedule.
The meeting was in charge of Ben
Salmon, the speaker of the occasion
being DR.. DubM, rabbi of the lew
ish synagogue at San Diego. Or.
Dublin is one of the most eloquent
speakers of the state and gave the
local Rotarians much to think of in
the way of ethics for business rs

j. ID. Adams and r. b. Whitelaw,
why by their hunting skill were able
to supply the club with quail on

other fully appreciated features.
The club was also called upon to
make suitable observance of the

Christmas morning, from 10
o CLOCK until II, Ell Centre Lodge of
Elks will hold their annual Christ
mas party for the children of the
city, and already the floor of the
lodge rooms is beginning to groan
beneath the weight of good things
which the Elks have been gather
ing for the past two weeks in anti
cipation for the big day.
/. A. Thomas, chairman of the
Christmas committee, has a supply
of candy, nuts, fruit and other
good things that will bring pleasures
untold to the hearts of El Centre s
Riddles when they march into the
Elks lodge rooms on Christmas Day.
A committee has been hard at work
arranging the bags of good things,
which will be given to every child
who attends.
In connection with the Christmas
party, the Elks emphasize the fact
that it is a party for all of FL Cen
tro's children, regardless of race,
creed, color, sex, or any other. con
dition. The only requirement is
that they be kids, and any grown
up trying to horn in - on the party
will make the acquaintance of the
lodge goat. Also, Mr.. Thomas said
this morning that it is in no way
limited to the children of Elks.
Every Child Welcome
Every youngster in FL Centre is
gust as welcome at the party as it
is possible for the Elks to express
it, and no one will be turned away.
Further than that, the Elks will APP
reciatr it if the general public viii
take an interest in the Elks party
aud bring any youngsters whom the
lodge might overlook. 1t is possible
that the committee in charge of the
celebration might not be acquainted
with the home of certain Youngsters,
and if their residence can be made
known to the Elks, they will see to
it that the Riddles are taken care of.
