day afternoon, or a few minutes be-
fore, so that they can go along or
the trip.
Anyone and everyone is eligible
to take advantage of this low price
round trip to the Cities, but it is
vitality important that you signify
your intention of making the trip
by signing your name on one of the
lists for that purpose which are now
distributed in the various business
places, says the committee. And il
is highly important that you sigr
these lists between now and Tuesday
April 18, by which time the COM
mittee must have list of $50 names
in order to get the special train. The
ticket does not have to be purchased
at the time of signing the list, but
after sufficient signatures have been
secured then it is advisable to secure
your tickets at the depot one or two
days in advance of the trip to avoid
congestion and confusion at the depot
just before train time. Further, if
you have signed on the list to make
the trip and you later are prevented
from going on account of unforeseen
difficulties, then you will not be COM
PEELED to purchase ticket. 1t is
recognized that a small percentage
will have to cancel the proposed trip
at the last moment. Thus if you in
tend to go, then please sign up at
the earliest possible moment.
The committee states further that
it is expected that the round trip
train ride will be very enjoyable as
arrangements are being made to pro-
vide both music and singing for the
amusement of the participants. And
you might as well take the Danish
song book along and all will sing
together.
Sandstone People Included.
The train will stop at Sandstone
and take on passengers there. Ar
rangements have been made with the
railroad company so that Sandstone
people who wish to go to the fes-
tivities or to the Cities for the week.
end can take advantage of this low
price round trip ticket and go with
the special train. However, all Sand
stone people who wish to 60 with this
train must secure their tickets one
day in advance or make reservations
by calling the Sandstone depot agent
SO that sufficient space can be pro-
vided for them in the train. 1t is
expected that large number of Sand
stone people will avail themselves
of this opportunity as their tickets
are also good for 3-day stop-over
in the city.
In addition to this a committee is
now working in Duluth and another
in Superior to get sufficient partici-
pants at those points to make up one
or two special coaches which will be
hooked onto the Askov special.
Please remember that anyone and
everyone is welcome to join in this
| trip whether or not you intend to
60 to the auditorium for the Dan
ish Royalty festivities, but if you
wish to 60 to the festivities then be
sure to secure your button in ad-
vance as you must have that button
to gain admission to the auditorium
And finally, again, be sure to sign
on one of the lists in the stores SO
the committee can provide for suffi-
cient space in the special train.

acres planted to flax Goar said,
all Of which came from a begin
ming of a grams of experimental
flax seed planted in 1927. This
years crop will be worth approx
mately S1,5OO,O00 and can mark
a new and permanent source of
large income for Imperial Valley"
This volume has been attained
from q start of two acres planted
in flax in 1881. 10 acres in 1882:
$50 acres in 1888. 5000 in 1884,
and an average of 10000 acres dur
ing 1885. 1896 and 1887.
There has been no permanent
flax growing community in this
country Goar said. Development
here in Imperial Valley shows that
it has great possibilities from the
standpoint of seed value"
Wade H. Ramsey, local manager
of the California Central Fibre
Corporation factory here which for
the past two years has been ex-
perimenting with manufacturing
fine paper from flax fibres, out
lined the possibilities of this in
dustry
Varieties of flax, he explained
are divided between those grown
for seed value and varieties grown
for fibre values. While local grades
are primarily of the former type,
he said 1t is possible either to
invent methods OF successfully us
ing the fibre for paper manufac-
turing, or developing a variety of
flax with both a seed and fibre
value
IN order to compete with other
paper manufacturing methods, he
said. a market for the by products
of the local plant must be found.
OF the present flax fibre. only 20
per cent of the volume is useful
in making paper, and if a market
for the other so per cent of content
can be found, the industry can be
considered successful.
The educational program was
supplemented with vocal selections

Of materials and labor la low.
Hence, the huge demand coupled
with the small supply, can mean
only a price boom. However. as soon
as the war is over, excessive de-
mand ceases and the supply of
goods increases Naturally, prices

Post War Panics Inevitable
A period Of readjustmenG from
solutely necessary. Huge debts are
contracted when prices of products
are sky-high. These debts cannot
be met when prices fall. Loans on
land in North Dakota, for instance,
at S400 an acre may be safe with
wheat selling for $3.50 a bushel,
but not when it falls to 60 cents.
Hence, there is always postwar
agitation for government support
of raw material quotations. This has
happened after each major war
since 1900. Yet, despite artificial
measures, prices have always per-
sisted in seeking their pre-war level.
Prosperity Without Higher Prices
That We can have good business
without rising prices may be a new
thought to the money tinkerS at
Washington, but not to the his
torians, In fact, rising prices may
hold back rather then speed up,
prosperity. They often cause buy
ing ahead on speculation. Over
stocking means orders and less
factory activity later on with a
resultant break in prices. This has
been the case ever since 1882. Each

Since the low point last June,
business has Skyrocketed 20 per
cent. Commodity prices, however
are slightly below the June level
and are at the lowest point since
December. 1884 The failure OF such
major commodities as cotton, wheat,
steel, copper, sugar, and coal TO
score good gains makes many peo-
pie skeptical of any further ad-
vances in business. 1t is a curious
fact that some people can never
see a new period Of prosperity
until the old level of raw material
quotations is restorey.
There have been three violent
commodity price booms and three
drastic commodity price panics in
the last 15O years. The first boom
came during the Napoleonic Wars
of the early 18OOs After the Battle
OF Waterloo, prices broke sharply
and receded to the pre-War level.
Then prices were steady until the
war between the states touched
off a new price boom. After Lees
surrender. there was another panic
which brought prices back again
to the pre-War level This was fol-
lowed by a long period of stability.
The same pattern as re-enacted as
a result of the World war
The important point about these
commodity movements is that prices
rise rapidly during the hostilities
and decline to the pre-war levels
leisurely. The explanation of this
trend is simple. During wartime,
governments urgently need NUM-
