THE great difference between

tinued, SIS that the settlement of the
debt in America is in the hands OF
politicians. We are bound. in regard
TO that debt. in the most stringent
bends you can possibly imagine"
Mr.. Baldwin described Americans
as "a country. not an urban people"
"They have men of our way Of

at all with regard to the other pnrts

.It you look at the senate. you

not realize the existing position with

THE debt can only be funded on
such terms as can be got through

the root OF difficulty with which we
T now faced"
Mr. Baldwin said that unless an
arrangement were arrived at by
which an agreement between the
American debt funding commission
and the British government IN APP
proved and ratified by congress be-
fore March 4. the matter would be
deferred until the end OF tho year.
There wns no chance. he said. Of new

MERCHANDISING BUSINESS In
CASPER GOES ON With RUSH

Notwithstanding the few scattering complaints that ar repeated In the
best of times, the above statement Twill hold good with tbs great majority Of
result shows n great volume of business last year.
Employment conditions in Casper also continue above tho average for
chs Of this class. This Is ntCsted by the fact that while tho Tn bune threw
open It's advertising columns free Of charge o people In need of work, less
than n dozen took advantage Of the offer and a few ads were from people
who sought q change in employment. This b@paks prosperity in every
sense Of the word as Casper Payrons III exceedingly large for this season
of the year.
Prospects for 1923 are unusually bright. There win BE- launched here this
spring the largest building program ever planned here All previous records
win be smashed, according to preliminary estimates. An unusual number Of
large buildings viii BIO edected. Continuation Of Industrial expansion viii
also be n great factor.
Merchants who realize the advantages Of advertising say that business
since the holidays AS exceeded their expectations and in pTparing for tho
new year they are making ample provision for future advertising. Recent
months have proved to them that consistent and liberal use Of snch space
has n telling effect N cash register totals and those found In the vanguard
