DESPITE INCREASE,
WHEAT VALUES Down
ON AVERAGE LEVEL

CHICAGO, March Although
wheat scared in price this week to
within Hc OF $3.50 a bushel, wide
spread snow and rain benefiting the
domestic winter crop has lowered the
average level of values. Compared
with week ago, wheat this morning
varied from 2Ac decline to &c ad-
vance, corn showed nose to 1Ac
grain, oats were up u to NO sc and
provisions higher 15c to $1.00.
Fresh signs of European need Of
breadstuffs gave the impetous which
nearly carried the wheat market up to
$3.50 here for the May delivery but
Just when that long.sought goal seem

west and causing the volume of sales
to broaden out. July delivery, repre-
senting the new 1922 crop, was espe-
cially affected, for the snow as we'll as
rain which followed assures beyond
question a better harvest outlook.
Bullish estimates of warm stocks of
wheat failed to stimulate buyers, but
talk of a proposed $30,000,0O0 loan
from the United States for Russian
famine relief counted temporarily as
factor toward lifting wheat values.
subsequently. however, heavy profit
taking sales on the part of holders to-
'gether with possibility of wheat ship
ments from Kansas City to Chicago
tended to depress prices.
Higher quotations on corn and oats
were due largely to a falling-off in
the extent of arrivals of corn.
The provision market went up with
the cost of hogs.

RIGHT AGAIN.

The people of Lafayette county are
waking up. They are realizing their
mistakes.
The vote Tuesday is evidence that
old Lafayette county is going after
her share of prosperity.
We are going to have better roads,
bigger and better productions of the
crops and better price for our cot
ton.
This means that the old county rs
coming to her own; that the farmers
will reap their just rewards for their
tolls and have money left. 1t means
that wave of prosperity unparai-
led in the history of the county IS
but few PAGES ahead of US. Better
roads to make travel easier; more
produce grown to the acre; approved
methods of farming; the reclama-
ton of the soil and the making of a
better and richer county to live In.
We have one of the best counties
in the state when it comes to grow
ing anything, and when we get i'm
proved highways, which will soon be
realized, we hope, you will see people
drifting here from all parts of the
country hunting locations for truck
ing, stock raising and general farm
ing
If the people of the towns and
country will cooperate few years
from now will find LAFAYETTE county
at the head of the list of best and
richest counties in the state.
