expected for Europe's rehabilitation.
The hopeful view, Of course, is that

Until something is done at Genoa or

Domestic events of Importance that
indicate better conditions are not so
numerous as to require difficulty in
recognizing them and their value. One
of the most gratifying things. in view
of the plight Of the farmers, is a better
price for live stock which has been fed
corn that was too cheap to sell. The
corn has brought a better return on
the hoof, and the urge now is for the
farmers 70 feed their grain instead of
selling at a loss. The farmers con
ference in session at Washington is
expected 10 develop a definite under.
standing Of their needs and of the
governments position. II is believed
the government wishes to help the
farmers solve their problems and that
il will attempt t do SO in a degree
through legislation. How far it can

Buying and selling depend upon the
needs Of the public more than upon
the desire. The rule continues to
apply 10 necessities, with luxuries
ignored. Having learned the lesson

business activity to be carried farther
