PARIS, August 29.-The flowers
that furnish the perfumes for which
France Is famous grow mostly around
Canes. where field of roses is as
common a sight as is a field of corn or
wheat in the American Northwest
But lavender. which although con-
sidered somewhat old-fashioned is
still in great demand, comes from the
higher parts of the department called
Maritime Alps. where many of the
mountain tops are literally covered
with the aromatic plant. The work of
gathering the blooms is now at it's
height. The distillers in late August
pay only one and quarter francs per
kilogram mean ming that the gatherer
must pick nearly 40 pounds To earn
dollar. But even at this low rate of
pay a good picker can make as much
as 100 francs or nearly S. a day. The
work is extremely fatiguins on the

SIGNIFICANT SIGNS.

Since the first of the year there have been twenty significant and important developments in business, according to B. c. Forbes, widely known author ity on business, in Forbes Magazine MT. Forbes takes accounting of con ditions and points out obvious tenden- cies which should influence the imme diate future.
 The summary is of such moment that it is worth reproducing.
 These are the most significant and important developments thus far this year:
 !. Employment has increased rath- CT than decreased notwithstanding the wintry weather.
 ?. The upward movement in the general price level shows signs of halting.
 3. Money rates, after their year. end irmness, have weakened.
 4. Despite the exportation of some $150,000,000 of gold, the banking posi- tion has been gaining in strength, and all the talk of an immediate rise of official rediscount rates has died down
 5. Grain prices have had a phe- nomenal rise, due mainly to export de- mand caused by an abnormal shortage of foreign wheat
 6. Railroad traffic during the first month of the year exceeded that of any other January
 2. The latest railroad earnings show very marked improvement.
 8. Bank clearings are of record breaking volume.
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-07

g. Transactions on the New York Exchange in January ran beyond any ! other month in the country's history, and the price level, after irregular fluctuations, closed the month near the peak for the current movements. | To- New security offerings, aggre- gating more than S500,000,000 in the first thirty days of the year, have been readily absorbed
 H. The steel industry has continu- ed to increase production until it is now approaching the country's enor- mously increased maximum capacity, with prices tending upward.
 12. The very important textile in dustry is showing betterments after it's long period of inactivity. New En- gland and the South both share in the call for goods.
 13.. Building operations continue on huge scale with keener demand for lumber and certain other mate rials.
 II. The automobile industry has cleaned house and will not enter into Spring months with large stocks of cars on hand.
 15. Retail business is holding up we'll, with very notable expansion in sales by leading mail-order houses, and chain-store systems, thanks partly to the greater purchasing power of va rious agricultural states.
 16 Utility companies, as a whole, are reporting better earnings and a widening market among customers for new securities.
 IT. Genuine progress is being made in effecting consultations notably in the railroad and utility fields
 IS. No fewer than seventy compa- nies took cheerful dividend action dur ing January, a total once exceeded since February of last year.
 19. Improvements in the European outlook is reflected by marked pro- gress in sterling towards the gold level
 20. The domestic political outlook has continued reassuring.

OBSERVANCE OF LENT

The Lenten season, which is observ- ed by the Roman and Greek Catholic churches, as we'll as in some degree by the Church of England, the Protes- tant Episcopal church and others, be- gan on Ash Wednesday, February 25, and will continue until Easter Sunday, April 12, period of forty days, not counting Sundays.
 In the early years of the Christian era the fast of Lent was observed for varying periods by some only one or two days, and by others for longer time, according to the writings of Ire naeus, Greek bishop of Lyons, in the second century.
 Pope Leo l, in the fourth century,
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-07

recommended a fast of forty days as having apostolic authority. This pe- riod was taken to commemorate the forty days fast of Moses, of Elijah, and especially that of Christ.
 Theoretically, at least. the faithful abstain from food or meat on fast days, and worldly amusements, secu- lar celebrations, and marriages are avoided during Lent.
 The duty of fasting is modified with respect to laboring people, children and women, under certain conditions, but increased diligence in works of charity is enjoined upon all, as well as extraordinary attention to all reli- gious observances throughout this pe- riod.
