The program of the Kiwanis club Thursday noon was very well re- ceived. The entertainment for this week was in charge of the Osteo- paths, Dentists and Chiropractors, | with Dr A. Northrup as chairman. The Junior Moose Jazz Orchestra played during the meal and assisted greatly in getting away with the grub in record time. Next followed the Junior Moose Agony quartette who were only allowed to retire when they ran out of numbers.

Two -harmless looking pet ferrets, by the name of “Huntem” and “Chasem” imported from Alaska by F. G. Troppman, were turned loose in the Troppman Block, which was badly infested with rats and in two days rats and all traces of rats have dissapeared. Huntem and Chasem did the work in jig time and are now looking for more work to do. Huntem finds the rats and Chasem takes after them and kills them as fast as they show up. Into rat holes of every size go this pair of brothers and mnever let up until ghc work is done. They seem to enjoy the work and guarantee to do a good job. The other day the pair found their way through a rat hole that led into the street and pedestrians, not know- ing what they were, tried to kill poor Huntem and Chasem, but were cau- tioned in time to spare their lives. They are now in their cage in the Troppman building taking life easy, ready to do their bit at all times he following people registered at|when it comes to hunting rats. ) DiaTmfmd Pointgl})arkp Thmgsday: It is said that rats take to their Minneapolis; P.

PHILADELPHIA PITCHERA INJURED IN BALL GAME (By United Press) Philadelphia, Pa., May 26.—Wil- burt Hubbel, Phiadelphia _pitcher, who was struck on the head with a ball bat yesterday, is reported con- siderably " improved today. Hubbel suffered a fractured skull. Ph cians are hopeful of saving his lif but are still undecided about his operation, INDUSTRIES COMING = BACK GRADUALLY NOW Within Few Months, End of Decline in All Business Should Be Reached B “Talk about musicians and actors being tempermental! They cannot beat the average business man who is up today and down tomorrow. Within a period of sixty days he will be a pessimist, an optimist, and back again to a pessimist, when all the time nature is slowly but surely following its natural course,” said Roger W. Babson in his weekly in- terview on business conditions. “A year ago business men were very pessimistic; then came a tem- porary upturn in business and follow- ing the lead of certain Federal officials and prosperity boomers, they became optimistic. ~ Since, how- ever, these prosperity forecasts have not matured, they are again down in the dumps. ow long will it take us to learn that Presidents don’t make business but rather bus- ines makes Presidents. It is true that conditions are dull at the present time partly on account of the late wet spring, partly due to the flloods of the south, partly due to the strikes in New England and New York state, and partly due to the upset condi- tions in Europe. When, however bnsmesp is looked upon from a long range it will be seen that it is pas- sing through only a natural read- justment which takes always consid- erable time. I stated over two years ago that no permanent improvement could be expected before August 1922, and I still feel that way. Even after the corner turns in the summer or fall of this year, it will be a slow altho a steady climb up- ward. “On the other hand, as all indus- tries were not hit at the same time, they will tend to come back at dif- ferent times. The industry that was first hit. will be the first to come back, This was the silk industry and a change for the better is ai- ready in evidence. The industry which was most suppressed during the war will show the greatest re- covery during the next few yeaps; indeed, it is already recovering. I have in mind the building industry There is a marked increase in the demand for all building materials, notably lumber, altho iron and steel are sharing in the building boom. The sales of hardware and paints have increased. If labor does not become too hungry for increased wages, this spurt in new building may develop into a real boom. “‘Another industry which should quickly show better employment is the automobile industry, especially the makers of the more expe cars. These makers were the first to be hit and these should be the first to come back, Fallowing booms in the stock market the mak- ers of exensive cars and other semi- luxuries always experince good bus- iness. For the first time in two years and a half, rubber factories at Ak}'on gre advertising for help. This same improvement in the employ ment_situation is noticeable also in certain steel centers such as Youngs- town, Ohio, and hardware centers such as Ansonia, Conn., where a wage increase of 15 per cent goes into effect May 16. “Commodity prices are likewiso adjusting themselves naturally. Those products which were first to decline, such as cotton, gugar and lumber are showing a _hardening tendency, while other prolucts, such as furs, that were bought by the masses during the war in reat quantities, are showing continued declines. At the recent fur auctions, Sil- ver Fur Fox was 25 per cent fower than in February, Marten 40 per (Continued on Page 8.)
