Prosperity Chorus Increasing.

NTRAwS that shows which way the prosperity
~ wind is blowing are not so lacking today as they
were two years ago or even a year ago.
Southern Pacific Railroad has ordered fifty new
locomotives, al passenger cars, and ass freight
cars, costing $12,000,OO0; industrial buildings in
New York state outside of New York City were
planned for construction in 1922 to the value of
SIS, 100000, compared with 1884, 900 in 1921; Gus
toms receipts for February are estimated at S55,.
100000, and the years total is placed at S500,000,-
600; the Louisville & Nashville Railroad has or
dered 5000 coal cars, 1000 box cars, 81 steel pas
senger cars, and Sc locomotives of largest type,
costing S20,000,000; Panama Canal traffic in 1922
increased over that for 1921 by 8 per cent in tran
sit, IL per cent in tolls, IA per cent in net ton
mage, and % per cent in cargo tonnage; freight
cars in need of repairs on February 1 numbered
209,41, showing a decrease in the past year of
1888; tourists will spend $30,000,000 in Florida's
greatest season; in January new buildings for
five boroughs of New York City totaled s44,550,000,
the greatest January on record, and 80 per cent
more than for January, 1922.
All of the above facts were taken from the bust
ness columns of a single issue of a daily newspa.
per. A list of similar length and diversity of
subjects could be complied from almost every
days news. 1t is evident to even the casual reader
that the country is on a wave of great industrial
activity, rapid growth of foreign trade, and plenty
of employment at good wages.
The reasons for the Improvement from the de.
plorable condition of 192O-21 are fundamental. Con
fdence and contentment have been instilled into
the business world and into the minds of the intel
ligent people by safe governmental policies. Tho
lifting of a large part of federal taxes, a deter
mined campaign against every form of public ex
travagance, sagacity in financial administration
wise foreign policy which does not involve the coun
try in entanglements in European troubles, and a
sincere and intelligent leadership for future world
peace, are some of the things that have contrib
uted to general welfare and encouraged results
now breaking through the gloom.
There arc a few narrow p~artisans who stir
indulge in criticism, but in another year they will
subside and disappear for lack of ammunition
The vast majority of citizens arc placing n true
Ealua nm conditions fhaf ctrrro1nd than, Lpo,- from
whence the improvement came and to whom credit
belongs.

KeIlogg's Bran is Guaranteed TO

Relief from constipation, whether it
DO mild or chronic, will follow the

Bran. We have thousands of letters
from former sufferers who tell us that
the natural "bulk-action" of this
wonderful cereal product has given re-

We guarantee that Kellogg Bran
will free the system from constipation

constipation is TO be permanently re-

adjournment of Congress.

TOMORROW the present short session of con-
L gress constitutionally comes to a close, and
unless some domestic ~exigency arises or the for.
eign situation, which may be regarded as danger
Gus at any time, compels, it will be nine months
to the day before the next session convenes.
Since the war broke in Europe congress has
been almost constantly in session, the recesses
brief, and a long adjournment will come as a re-
lief to the country.
With the ending of the session almost twenty
thousand measures will die the natural death they
should. They are upon almost every conceivable
subject that could be written about, whether a fit
subject for legislation or not. And the sad part
of it is that many of them will be reintroduced
in the next congress, to meet n like fate.
Governed TO death! Sure We are. The only
reason VIC are not leGislated OF the Garth is be-
cause the congressional morgue is always in active
operation.
It is the old story. Much meritorious legislation
was enacted, and other Legislation OF equal value
fell by the wayside.
With congress off our hands, there will be n fine
opportunity to apply ourselves to business. and
that seems important, for they tell us it is going
to be a busy and prosperous year.

Prophecy.

Your little feet will wander Oar
Through woods where fairies dwell.
And over hills where rainbows fan,
Enchanted by their spell.
Your little feet will march along
Great highways. keeping time
With other feet in rhythmic step.
When life Ia at It's prime.
Your little feet will tread strange
streets.
With echoing footballs.
As hollow sounding as a cry
That through a deaert calls.
Your little feet will never know
Until they're worn and sore,
Tho happiness that Hes behind
Your own owe sheltered door.
