New evidence of returning prosper

ports from the clothing industry to
the effect that business has increased
over q broad front and at a rapid pace
during the last year. Washington
merchants have been in the front rank
of this business advance.
Numerous stores in the heart of the
F street shopping district have spent
thousands of dollars In undermining
their plants. In fact, the improve
rnents on F street have been so exten.

10 Low-Yield Bonds.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Medium
and low priced rail liens worked
little higher in the bond market today.
Most United States Governments were
lower. Foreigns were mixed.
Carriers which rose fractionally
were Baltimore & Ohio 4l2s, Erie 5s,
Illinois Central 434s, New York Cen
trail SIS, Nickel Plate 4l2s and st.
Louis-San Francisco 4l2s.
Investment circles said the bidding
for these obligations was prompted
by the outlook for heavier freight
movements.
The United States Treasury group
registered losses of around 2/32s TO
6/32s shortly before noon. Issues which
declined were the 3ss of 194i. the 3 AS
of 1941 and the 27ss. The As were
up about 4/32s at one time.
Selling in this sector was described
In bond quarters as a combination
of normal" profit-taking and con-
tinued Tightening of portfolios owing
to the Franco German unrest abroad.
1t was noted, however, that the
recessions in Governments failed to

Discussing the effect of the Wilcox
law invalidation on the pending Fort Myers
bond settlement. the News-Press remarks:
I'm our case it is possible that an upset may
be avoided by amicable negotiations if the
city will stick strictly to its bargain and
give the bondholders no reasonable
grounds for going to court. The difficulty
of course, is that it is profitable for some
speculative bondhOlders and their agents
TO be unreasonable. If something like the
Wilcox bill cannot be devised to curb their
mischief there is new trouble ahead for
debt-ridden Florida communities" With
the ban on impairment of contracts by the
states, the supreme court left the situation
in mid-air We hope Wilcox can find some
way of bringing us back to earth.

interested in lettering the life of the
farmer. For the first time since that
first farmer stood in amaZement at

become possible. for small commune

centers in the production of goods.
Individual farmers can put their en-

enjoy conveniences hitherto avail

Introduction of electric power into
farm life is bound to have far reach
ing and vital results. Historians will
find in this movement one of the
great adventures in human progress.
Prophets have no honor in their
own country But by little study we
can ascertain what has already been
accomplished TO improve farming in
our country. The facts point forward.
There are still many problems. many
difficulties ahead There are some
extreme limitations to the use of
mechanical power on the farm. But
most of these will eventually be over

result of the work of forward look
