PROSPERITY HERE.

Any one who has travelled this
country recently must be impressed
by the fact that all sections. all in
1dustries, all units large and small,
are experiencing the greatest In.
,dustrial activity since 1919.
The reimbursement periol is I'm
,doubtedly over and the solid busi-
ness expansion being shown this
first quarter II recognized by bark
crs, manufacturers and busin ass
men in every part of the country.
The automobile industry. which Is
the barometer of the buying power
of the people. shows unprecedented
activity.
II the incoming congress can re-
train from harassing the country
with uncalleed for and unnecessary
freak and drastic legislation there
Is every reason to believe that the
next few years will witness the
greatest prosperity and growth that
this nation has ever known.

coon TIMES IN THE q. s.


The lumber industry Is an I'M
failing hsrometer of good times, bad
times or Indifferent times In the
United States.
1t is recording extraordinary good
time :anow.
Nearly ;all lumber mills are run

The National Lumber Manufac-
,turers' association reports that in
;the week ended March 10 produc.
riun reached 2S7.273,OO0 feet. ship
ments 269G170G0 feet and orders
236,OOl 900 feet.
Taking the three factors together
business that week exceed that OF
the corresponding week last year
by nearly 40 per cent.
Is that not something to be
proud OF Should not every right
minded citizen strive to maintain
conditions which will insure steady
employment for lfbor at good
wages, Is is not good business to
work for sanity In legislation and
taxation in order to encourage
rather than discourage industrial
activity?

CITY ELECTION

Election passed off very quietly.
Only SO. one voter in five, voted.
There was only the one ticket in
the field and all knew the election
of these candidates was foregone

habit is a good one and ought never
be neglected There were only a
few scattering votes. f. w. Smith,
G. +. ChristODhr. and Robert King,
the judges declared the following
elected: q w SmeltZer. mayor and

REALLY STRIKING
AT THE FARMER

Everybody has been clamOring
for conditions which would benefit
the farmer and bring him a great
err return for his effort.
he price of sugar has gone up a
few cents pound and the western
beet sugar industry has been vir-
tually saved from destruction.
The result is a proposed congress
sional investigation to find why the
price of sugar should advance, and
an agitation by politicians to re.
peal the slight tariff protection
which saves the American cane and
beet sugar industry from destruc-
tive foreign competition.
How do the politicians in one
breath demand that the price Of
sugar remain at minimum and
the price of farm crops increase to
maximum? The advanced price
of sugar means that western beet

which go with summer camp and
they were quick to take advantage
of it. Some OF the people of this
city have already bought lots in
the camp and others are planning

Another plan that has been brOach-
ed is that of sending committee
to the San Isabel to purchase lots
for all desiring them.

the most beautiful part OF the San

AN EASTER MESSAGE

Rev. H. b. Hummel, Field Secre
tary of the Pueblo Presbytery
spoke at the Presbyterian Church
Easter Sunday Morning from the
text: Their Syes were holden that
they shonid not know him."
The awakening Spring is symbol
of the resurrection. 1t is marvellous
how the whole world pays homage
to the lonely Nazarene. The whole
world turns aside to worship him.
Some people never attend church on
any other day of the year
The early diciples were plunged
into the darkness of sadness by the
death of the lord for they had seen
him. dead and buried. 1t is the sad
dest moment of life when we turn
away from tn open grave of a de.
parteddear one. So the disciples
were plunged into despair and
dependency. They were slow to
believe the report that he had risen
form the grave. The resurrection
was a new and unheard of thing.
Their eyes were holden that they
should not know him. Mary did
not know him till he spoke her
name. Mary" Then she knew his
voice. The two disciples on the way
to Emmaus did not know him
through all their long walk and talk
with him, until they recognized him
in the familiar act of breaking
bread at the home of one of them.
Then they saw the prints OF the
nails in his hands.
How were their eyes holden?
There may have been some mys.
terious change in the body of Jesus
so that they could not recognize
him.
Or their eyes may have been with.
holden by some miraculous intlu-
ence in the purpose of God so that
the risen Lord might be revealed
to them gradually and they might
receive the greater blessing
Or their~eyes may have been with,
holden through failure on their
own pnrt. They were so preoccu-
pied and absorbed in their griefs
and disappointmcnts that they were
blinded to his presence. So, often,
are our eyes holden from realizing
his presence by our sins, our trou-
bles, our cares. and our problems.
We fail to see him but all the time
he is here. working out his purposes
in the experiences of our lives. We
worship no dead Lord but living
Master. We rejoice in n raised and
present Savior. Yet it seems so
strange and supernatural--sO I'm.
blicvable-that we fail to apprO-
pirate the Present Christ Truly he
says, 10, | am with you always"
when two or three are gathered
together in my name there am I in
their midst" Other religions wor
a dead Leader; we worshop IA risen
living and triumphant Lord.
