that Congress was now a. It's lowest
ebb in public esteem.
Throughout the nation ho said.
Il have found a general sentiment IN
favor Of an amendment 10 the Nolstead
act. The people want beer and light
wines, and II were in Congress they
could have them.
~ am in favor Of n modification %
that law. believe IL is the cause Of
most of tie unrest in the country to-
day. Prohibition is n subject that

If ! were in Congress. would vote
for q modification OF the Volstcsd act
permitting light wines and beer | see

The people eventually will have
their say. and sentiment undoubtedly
will manifest itself in the next cleo

strangling restrictions Of the Volstead
law.

amendments 10 the Nolstead law are
sure Of election. Regardless Of ethics.

MIR. WALTER DRENNEN
 PRESENTS FRIEDA HBMPEL

During the past week Orlando, Fla, has been the scene of It's an- nual "musl festival' under the di- reetion of MT. Walter Drennen, who formerly lived here, and has many friends both in musical and social circles in this city.
 In presenting Erieda Hempe1 there this season, Mir. Drennen repeated hls program of two years ago, when the brilliant diva made such a signal success, coming directly from Orlando to Birmingham. where she gave on- of the most beautiful and artistic concerts ever heard here, being pre- sented by the "All Star Concerts"
 Orlando pays the following tribute to Mir Drennen and Frieda Hempel, according to the Evening Reporters ' Star:
 The town. we take 1t. is immeas- urably better off for all such oc- casions as the Hempef concert of yesterday, and it is due to Walter Drennen to say that we owe him debt of gratitude.
 You can't define art. There are in- numerable definitions of the word that mean very little when 1t comes to expressing our real feeling about it. But we all know this morning that luOSc Oi dS NitO hSoih %fA'N- Hempel are improved over the crea- lures who awoke yesterday morning with the concert still ahead of us.
 And this is being written by a musical scoffer, one who went to the Beacham yesterday to laugh at short-legged, bald headed Dutchman paving over the keys of a piano, but who remained to pray when Miss Hempel came on the boards.
 The Beacham theatre yesterday was the Mecca of all rnusic-loving Orlando. The crowd inside the the atre was such in number and refine ment as would have pleased any art | ist, and during the concert the en- thusiasm surged to fever heat. The artist bowed her thanks again and again both alone and with her ac- 1 companist, Mir. Bos, and again and again she smiiIngly acceeded to the demands and gave encore numbers tLat were perfect gems of art.
 "Once more, MT. Drennen, we want to thank you. You are benefactor to the city"

New York. Dec. Sl-The final week
of one of the most memorable years IN
the financial and general economic
history of the country was attended
by the usual bewildering movements
Trading in stocks was moderately
active even tho public or outside in
terest seemed to be almost restricted
TO selling by individuals and corpora
tions for establishing income tax re-
turns.
This also was true in lesser degree
of the bond list but liquidation in
that quarter was neutrallzed II not
wholly offset by the confidence with
which new underwritins were abb
sorbed Views of competent observers
regarding next years industrial ana
commercial prospects were reassurinS
for what Wall street calls the LONG
pull Opinions were further puali-
fed however by the realization that
the 1921 foreign trade record viii show
an enormous shrinkaEe from that OF
the previous years.
Figures available indicate that i'm
ports for the year will be curtailed by
90 per cent while exports are expected
to show a decrease OF 40 to 40 per
cent foodstuffs forming the principal
item or reduction.
Aside from the strong investment
inquiry for high grade securities the
weeks most hopeful feature was the
relaxing trend Of money rates De-
spite the customary yesr-end window
dressing by financial instructions call
loans ruled at an average Of per cent
and time funds extending into next
March were obtainable at the same
figure.
January's release of interest and
dividend payments while smaller than
that of the two preceding years should
prove sufficient to insure a continuance
of low rates and give additional i'm
petus to the investment inquiry.
Recent tendencies in the steel and
iron trade. the concurrent strength
of equipment shares and news that
mining OF copper soon is to be resumed
In the Montana district were among
heartening aspects of the industrial
system. In Textile. rubber and leather
pronounced increase OF production was
reported.

The club is not q believer in the Of

the necessity for resolution.
New officers have recently been

PUEBLO'S PROSPECTS FOR 1922 FROM|
A MANUFACTURING POINT OF VIEW

Coloradop reduces all OF the varieties
OF coal mined in the United States and
a greater range of quality than any
other city in the union. Pueblo is To-
Gated eQuidistant from three principal
coal mining districts and is down
grade haul from each.
Colorado also produces practically
an of the materials used in manu-
featuring. except hard woods and cot
ton. to all OF which Pueblo thru her ex
celient railroad facilities has immediate
access. Pueblo too. has a water supply
more than adequate for all manufact-
uring purposes.
Therefore. when we stop to consider
the great natural resources bestowed
upon the state OF Colorado in general
by nature, and all of which Pueblo
has fun advantage due to her location.
We cannot but realize that Pueblo's
future as manufacturing city is GER
tain. Statistics show that her manu-
factured products have increased at
better than fourteen per cent per an
mum regardless of the variations of
financial conditions. We are then, in
1922 certain OF approximately tho
same increase in volume OF gross man
ufactured output.
The wonderful recovery made by
manufacturers following the flood Of
June 3, 1921, has taught us that de-
termination and sticktoitiveness can
accomplish great things, also that our
own banking resources are more than
adequate for all emergencies, which
leads US TO expect far more In 1922
than in any year in the history Of
Colorado.

Pueblo Manufacturers Association.
