PROSPERITY SEEN
FOR NORTHWEST
AS PRICES BOOM
Banker Predicts New Era for
Farmers in Grain and
Cattle States.

BIZ United Press
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 16.-The
Northwest, first to suffer in the
chaos that overwhelmed agriculture
a year ago, is riding back to pros
perity on the wave of higher grain
prices, E. G.. Quamme. president of
the Federal Land Bank of ST. Paul,
declared today in an interview with
the United Press. The Northwest is
producing the greatest crop III ten
years, he said.
THE foundation for real prospect
ty is here" Quamme said.
Record Crops
In North Dakota we have two
crops instead of one Minnesota,
Wisconsin. Michigan, South Dakota
and Montana viii have the best
crops since 1914 and the biggest
yields since the great production
year of 1919" he said.
THE fact that there is every pros
pect for good crops at a good price
in the Northwest has greatly i'm
proved morale of the farmer and
general business conditions are much
better" according to A. H. Kennedy,
vice president of the First National
Bank, st. Paul.
Bankers and farmers alike agree
that the Northwest this year faces
a return to prosperity. Wholesal-
ers told the United Press that bust
ness has been moving better since
the first of July than in four years,
as a result of the confidence inspired
by maturing crops.
I'VE are extremely fortunate in
the northwest in having every pros
pect for a big crop at a good price. -
Quamme added. He is recognized
throughout the country as an accu-
rate agricultural statistician.
New Era
"Northwest farmers viii be able
TO liquidate their debts. the banks
Will get back on an even keel and
the Northwest will enter a new era
of business prosperity. Land values
will return.
Hogs will be selling at SO hun
dredweight in a short time, and cat
lie will follow. We are at the
threshold of a marketing situation
that occurs only two or three times
in a lifetime bumper crop sell
ing at q good price"

MUSSOLINI'S RULE TOTTERS BY MURDER
 OF LABOR DEPUTY
Matteotti Had Announced in London He Was to Expose Oil
 Bribes to Fascist.

London, July 5.-The murder of Matteotti, Socialist-Labor leader in the Italian House of Deputies, marks the beginning of the end of Mussolini, probably to the tune of assassination or civil war. This is the concensus of opinion among government officials here in London.
 The Italian government, trying to save itself, announces that the Sinclair oil concessions will be submitted to the legislature for investigation. It is open ly charged that American oil interests bribed high Fascist government off cials.
 A month ago Matteotti, leader of the moderate socialists in Italy, visited London. At that time he told British labor leaders that 1t was his intention to reveal documents in Rome exposing Fascist corruption. He was murdered on his return to Rome and the body hidden to conceal atrocities committed.
 Six officials close to Mussolini have fled, others have been arrested or re- moved from office Civil war threat ems Italy.
 The British Labor Party, with Pre- mier Macdonald present, has voted condemnation of the murder and de- mands that Italian judges give justice.
 Premier Macdonald expresses him self as being much gratihed at the combined Labor Nationalist victory in the South African elections.
 The result is chiefly due to Shuts suppression of strikes against wage cuts.
 General Shuts lost his seat to a Socialist. He has announced that he will resign the premiership of South Africa.

BORAH COMMITTEE WILL CHECK UP ON
 CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Created By La Follette's Resolution Managers Must Report
 Every Ten Days.

Washington, July 5.-Campaign con tributions and expenditures through out the campaign are to be supervised by special Senate committee headed by Senator William E. Borah of Idaho which will sit continuously at Chicago for that purpose.
 This committee was created at the instance of Senator Robert M. La Fol lette during the closing days of the re- cent session of Congress, after the. House had stricken out the Borah rid CT" to the postal pay increase bill
 One of the first gentlemen to be summoned before the Borah commit tee will be William " Hodges of-Den- yer, newly elected treasurer of the Republican national committed
 Hodges is railroad attorney and is also said to be hooked up with the beet sugar interests which profit from the tariff.
 Chairman William M Butler of the c. o. F. national committee will also be called to the stand.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, who heads the committee, has indicated he will summon his colleagues into session soon after July 4 for preliminary work at Chicago. The committee will re- quire the campaign managers of each presidential candidate to submit a writ ten report every 10 days, covering both incoming and outgoing funds.
 It is not too much to say that the Old Guard leaders who are managing President Coolidge's campaign are concerned and alarmed at the prospect of giving an accounting to the Borah committee.

Atlanta's Opportunity
 School

Stenography, salesmanship, millinery, and beauty -parlor work, as well as com mon school subjects, are taught at the Atlanta Opportunity School, where work ing boys and girls are given chance to continue their education The pupils rep resent practically every industry and busi ness in Atlanta, says the Vocational Ed ucation Magazine (Philade1phia.) They attend the school from 30 minutes to 4 hours day, according to the amount of their available time
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-05

The Coolidge committee admitted expenditures in the South Dakota pri- mary of $5,O00 for a handful of def egates, and Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator Norbeck publicly charged that the expenditures were actually much larger.
 l, Senator Brookhart claims that the Coolidge machine had a war chest of $200,000 to defeat him in Iowa, and Senator; Norris has also stated that money flowed freely in Nebraska, where the President was a candidate in the presidential primaries of that state.
 Other members of the select com mittee are Senators Jones of Wash ington, republican; Shipstead of Min nesota, farmer-labor; Bayard of Della ware, democrat; and Caraway of Ar kansas, democrat.
 which authorized the investigation, ev- cry member of the committee will be permitted to call hearings or issue sub poenas for witnesses.
 Senator Shipstead is expected to act as the spokesman for Senator La Fol lette on the committee and will prob ably be one of its most active mem bers.
 The activities of the Borah commit tee will be regarded here as of especial significance, because they represent the first attempt made in American politics to turn the searchlight on campaign funds during the progress of the cam paign itself. Heretofore no acknow1 edgement of receipts and expenditures has been required until after primaries and elections.
 It is probable that the committee will report back to the Senate next Decem- Der with a recommendation for a new Corrupt-practices act. The old law was practically nu1lifed by the decision of the Supreme Court in the Newberry case, in which Secretary of State Hughes, then practicing law, appeared on behalf of Senator Newberry and ar gued that the law under which the senator had been convicted with pris- On term was unconstitutional.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-05

It is now nearly four years since the Kenyon committee, which investigated Republican and Democratic primary expenditures in 1920, reported to the Senate that new corrupt-practices act was required to curb expenditures which were branded as "a menace to representative government"
 It was the Kenyon investigation which eliminated Lowden and Wood as presidential contenders four years ago and with this precedent in mind, the packers of President Coolidge, who have not concealed their ability to raise ample funds, view with alarm the approaching activities of the Borah committee.

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer,

Today's aspects, although of a
negative. character. in so far as busi-
ness and business activities are con-
cerned, counseling strict abstention
from speculation or taking a
Chance" are particularly favorable
for domestic lationships and social
entertainment. Today is a good day
for marriage, and those who take ad-
vantage of this opportunity will at
no time regret it, as blessings will
be showered upon them.
A child born today will not be i'm
mune either to sickness or to acct
dent. Its naturally good constitution,
however, will overcome the former
and constant vigilance will minimize
the latter. The child will, however,
reveal an unhappy faculty for getting
into trouble, and while this, in in
fancy, will only affect its physical
well-being, the same condition, IL
continued. will cause thereafter much
perturbation and anxiety. Restraint
nished and desirable environment
given.
If today is your birthday you have
not realized your dreams. What
stands most in the way of your sue
cess is irresolution, weakness of pur-
pose and indecision., On the one side
is your conscience and the knowledge
of good or evil; on the other are your
Incidence, or your selfishness. You
cannot remain passive. If you do, the
lower influence of either Incidence or
selfishness will win.
The power of exercising the will
promptly, in obedience to the dictate es
of conscience, is of essential impor-
tance in moral discipline. and abso-
lutely necessary for the development
of character.
Acquiring the habits of resolution,
strength of purpose, and decision may
require long and persevering dis
cipline. but when once the lesson is
learned. you will find yourself con-
solidated in habit and thenceforward
it is comparatively easy.
You can only achieve success by the
action of your own free will. If you
are to stand erect, it must be by your
own efforts: you cannot be kept
propped up by help Of others. You
must be master of yourself and of
your actions.
