 Official figures record that 1,b65,7o0 people are now entirely without work That is only 72,ooO below last September's low point. Moreover. the figure does not include certain smaller categories of unemployed.
 A great proportion of these have been out of work for two years. many of them for a longer period. Gov ernment officials realize that bare statistics do not unofficially express the cumulative effect of severe unem- ployrnent. Several thousand of the workless mass have obtained stand ard several degrees above sheer pauperdom by spending their savings of the prosperous war years. These savings have now been exhausted. Others have been forced to pawn be- longings such as furniture and clothes. Now the pawnshops are full and homes empty. Those that started buying houses on war wages are now unable to keep up installments or pay their taxes.

A Anti-Prohibition


 John Glenister. the American anti-prohibition propagandist, is emitting sparks from his big apart ments In the Ritz hotel. His technic, to put 1t mildly. is not likely to shake the faith of English teetolers. The fact. 1t would be difficult to imagine anything more maladroit than the stuff he has been peddling to the papers. He described America's pro- hibition as this war baby, fathered by the blue-nosed Johnnies and the long-nosed Annies." It has grown, he added, in his near-Broadwayese, into "brat, and there Is no saying how many more brats will come along if this one Is not smothered." And SO on, and so on. His statistics arc as curi- ous and unconvincing as his English. There's many an honest admirer of Scotch and-soda that is wondering if John W. is an agent provocateur for the dries, or something. Ho might go in Tonopah. but he Is frost in this calm old town. Booze is a serious problem here, as 1t is in all whisky countries-too serious to be discussed with silly and vulgar epithets

corporation has been in preparation
for settlement day. when payments
are customarily made on farms that
have been purchased and when ten
ants leave the farm or move to an
other. 1t is reported that many fami-
lies who moved to town and rented
their farms are now going back. e
Loans of the War Finance cor
poration now exreed those of the

ka, with almost S3,000.000 more ap-
proved by Omaha headquarters and
awaiting action in Washington, The
Federal Reserve loans total slightly
less than 100000. Although there
has been a lull in requests for ac-
commodation, the War Finance cor
poration is now preparing for heavier
borrowing to finance the spring

Higher Prices Move
Stored Crops at Crete

Crete, Ncb., Feb. 25.-(Special.)-
The sudden rise in the price OF
wheat and corn as we'll as hogs is
bringing a great amount of produce
from the farms to market. In this
vicinity the farmers are we'll fixed
financially, and when prices go too
low to suit them they are in po-
siton to hold on until the markets
seem to be reasonably good. The
past few months has witnessed very
little farm produce coming into this
place, but the Crete mills have been
paying few cents over the market
price for wheat and corn and as a
result it has acted as great in
ducement for the farmers to bring
in the grain. Many farms around
Crete now have two crops stored
away and a substantial rise in prices
will move the older crop.
