France today is the most prosper
GUS nation have ever SEEM" says Ed
Ponsat, just back from three months
trip in Europe, "and the most thrilling
sight of the whole trip was when !
again sighted the Statue of Liberty
standing guard over New York har-
bor!" From which one gathers that
Mr.. Ponsat is proud of his American
citizenship, and that for all OF Frances
found prosperity he was glad to
get back home.
Mr.. Ponsat left White Bluffs on the
18th of April, called to France on bust
ness. The cross Continental journey
was made by bus in six days, the same
length of time required for the ocean
crossing from New York to Cherbourg
He sailed to France on the Olympic
and returned on the Majestic, both
White Star liners.
The boat landed in Cherbourg and
his itinerary from there took him first
to Paris, then to Lyons, and from there
to Grenoble in the south Of France,
from which it was only short dis
lance to his native village of Corps.
Grenoble is the focal point for vaca-
tionists who make it their meeting
place before starting for either Alpine
or Mediterranean resorts such as the
Riviera, AK les Bains or ST. Moritz.
"The most amazing thing in France
today" said Mr.. Ponsat, sis the change
in the French people. Formerly, II
man were born poor, he had no hope
of being otherwise unless he were ex-
traordinarily astute and possessed OF
great business ability. The famous
French thrift was necessity. But nov
all of that is different.
| "People are spending money right
and left. And there is plenty of money
to spend. Everyone has work. In my
native village they are building a dam
something like Grand Coulee only very
much smaller. The town is swarmine
with people of all nationalities, Poles
Albanians, Greeks, Italians, even Arab!
and Turks, who have come to work II

Second advance of the week was
registered in porker prices at the
Union Stockyards today, when the
majority of classes displayed an in
crease of 10 cents above yesterdays

Today's slight gain was attributed

in receipts and the liquidation of
livestock in drought districts during
the summer. Receipts estimated at
only 4,50O, were extremely light for
a regular full-day session.

pigs, scaling $50 to $50 pounds, sold
at 1855 to S425, while extremely
light classes, ranging 100 to 100
pounds, cashed in at $3.50 to 1925.
Packing sows were valued at S375
to $3.50. HoldoverS numbered 324.

tically all grades remained station
airy. Bulk of eve and wether
kinds was salable at ST to $3.50.
