Far more powerful than all these

Thtn group IL divided into two parts,

League of German Officials" CON-
Tprfsing the officials OF tho reich, the
federal states and the communities.
However, the officials, who gradu-
atod from the old school are as yet
unable TO reconcile themselves to
the idea OF being rated on the same
level with workmcn and employees.
while there is also considerable OPP
position among the workers against
a corporation with the officials.
Nevertheless. therc are signs that

Canadian Farmers
Dollar Is ImprOUinu

The purchasing power Of the Ca.

creasing. This increase has so stlm.
ulated trade that the volume Of
goods sold now equals that OF pre.
ceding years. Surveys indicate Ma
the cycle of prosperity has Sgun
to rcvolVe.
The latest stimulant to the farm.
er's dollar is the announcement Of
price reductions by two leading
Canadian implement firms. The re.
ductions average 20 per cent and
apply to all finished implements
stored at the various branches and
to new machinery being turned out.
The plants have cut their production
costs that amount.
Importance OF this reduction must
be seen when 1t is considered that
there are more than 10000 tractors
on Western Canadian farms; that
81 900 of these have been purchased
by the three prairie provinces in
four years. and that development OF
the new agricultural districts neces.
states the purchase of at least
10000 tractors year. Last year
the total OF tractors in operation in
the West was s21,000,000 Special
tractor plows represented a value OF
$1,000, 900. Clipping 20 per cent

Reduction in prices OF automobiles

immigration began, the Japanese

Moreover, Japanese children
