Employment M generally is better.

The railroads are operating extra freight . Tltxains and placing orders for more engines and freight j {(cars, besides much repairing and rebuilding of roads.

Home consumption is on the in- i 11 crease aiid with plenty of bread and meat raised at flhome, conditions are bound to improve very rapidly. I . Compare the first three months of this year with 1 those of last year and you will find that the banks show large increases and that every line of com- ijmerce and manufacturing industries show a wonder ful growth and increase. That better times are here no one can deny and, that better times are coming cannot be disputed, lne country is rich in resources and our people are dc- Termlned to develop and increase in every way possi ble the advantages possessed. , . The Predictions from the ablest financiers of the nation arc all favorable and the general belief is that 1923 will be a prosperous year. Let us do our part to bring about such conditions and it may be depend ed that everything hoped for in improvement? ill be realized before the end of the year. The wholesale holdup Chinese bandits of Americans and others aboard a train near Shanghai, China, has startled tho world. Tin* Idea of a Chinaman becoming a bandit is Interesting and one would never believe It from experiences with the repre sentatives of that race in ithJs country.

Incidentally, it may be said that the administraion has been considerably con cerned about the condition of affairs and it is nq wonder-that it has.

Fine granulated rugar for domestic consumption is selling at wholesale in'New York for abqut $9 per hundred* pounds. 1 a , The sugar for export is refined in this country un der bond, and since it is to be shipped abroad, pays no duty! The sugar sold to Americans is taxed at the rate of $1.7648 per hundred pounds. There-’is a difference of $2140 a hundred pounds between-sugar which pays the tariff and sugar which - is duty free.
