FARMERS GAIN
BILLION IN WEALTH
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERvicEI


CHICAGO. April-Stockmen and
grain farmers are worth s1046.-
600 600 more than they were ninety
days ago as a result of the upturn
in market values. This was the
cheering statement of President Il.
C.l Brown, of the National Live
Stock Exchange. He has just re-
turned from a trip into Iowa and
Nebraska, where he said a new
feeling of confidence prevails.
An advance Of $3.50 per humid
red pounds in the hog market since
the last week in December, an up
turn of 81 on cattle during tho
same period and the addition of
s2.25 in ninety days to the value
of sheep have increased the value
of live stock in farmers hands by
s56L000, 900. Another s4s5, O0. 00o
was added to their wealth through
an advance of forty cents on
wheat. twenty five cents on corn.
and twenty cents on oats, it was
stated
The value OF a dollar. 1t was
poihteu Out Is 9V per cent greater
than in 1920, so that an advance
of s1.046, 900, 900 at this time really
amounts to s1.569.000.ooo in post
war terms. Mr.. Brown predicted
that the recent increases only fore
shadow further gains and gave the
established marketing syst m 5
credit for pulling the farmer out Of
what at one time seemed to be al
most a hopeless depression due to
the economic upheavel following
the world war.

GARDENING TIME AGAIN.

The incentive of war production and the
urge of postwar prices alike having passed, not
SO much will be heard of the vacant lot gardens
this spring. Patriotism and thrift no longer spur
once they did.
Nevertheless, there will be much spading and
planting in the next few weeks in soil that be-
fore the war, was given over to weeds. A null
titude learned during the vogue of the back
yard garden that the effort is repaid many fold.
Not few who took to garden making for their
country's sake, or for the gardens sake will sow
and pluck again this year for their own sake.
1t is not only profitable but full of pleasure,
health and recreation.
Of course. all do not find joy in the home
garden. But the man who loves the feel of the
soil and finds philosophy in the miracle of life
and growth, quickly becomes an addict He may
not talk so much about it as in recent days of
enthusiasm, but will row his hoe in contempla-
tive contentment just the same.
Not all good citizens are home gardeners.
but most home gardeners are good citizens. This
is no bull.

COUNTRY NEEDS HOOVER.

However gratified the people of California
might be should they be able to induce Secretary
Hoover to run for the United States senate, the
people of the rest of the country could not help
a feeling of deep disappointment. In his present
place as head of the department of commerce.
Mr.. Hoover is giving the United States rare
example of governmental efficiency. For the
first time since the department of commerce was
instituted general sense of its usefulness is
apparent among business men.
So marked. indeed, is the appreciation of
Secretary Hoovers effectiveness as co-efficient
of American business enterprise that many peo-
pie already perceive a desire in themselves to
promote in due time to an even higher place.
In the meantime they earnestly desire to retain
his unusual abilities and vision in the position
where he now serves

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS RE-
MODEL CLUB ROOM AND HALL

The Knights of Columbus are
boasting of one of the prettiest and
most up to date club rooms and ball
room in this part of the state and they
have just right in doing so. They
tackled good sized job when they
started work on the several rooms
over the Ruscha Dry Goods Store, to
convert them into ball room, club
room, dressing rooms and ahti-room.
Work was commenced soon after
the first of the year, and the work
was finished this week and the first
of a series of entertainments was
given on Wednesday evening when
they gave very charming dance.
TO start with they touched up the
small hall at the top of the stairs, re-
finished the wood work and the
walls and ceilings were newly decor
ated.
The. ball room was MADE larger by
twenty feet, pretty lighting fixtures
were put in, new decorating and the
place was made new.
Just off the ball room on the left
is the Club room. A number of walls
were taken out, doors filled in and the
room was larger by at least five
or six feet. Very comfortable furnish
ings are now in the room, but the
directors say that complete set .-of
new furniture will be installed in the
very near future. The floor was
painted and vanished and is equal to
the floor Of the ball room. Off the
club room are the ladies and mems
dressing rooms. The mems room is
finished in yellow and white and the
ladies room is dainty in pink and
white with dressing table and long
mirrors to add to the comforts.
A storage room at the back of the
dressing rooms has been converted
into the anti-room for the convenience
of candidates and also for lodge
paraphernalia. -
We saw the rooms ourselves, and
we say that the Knights of Columbus
have Just reason to be proud Of the
new hall.
