Prosperity Walks Abroad
In Northwestern States
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO. 111., Feb. 25—Prosperi
ty’s sudden arrival last summer, al
though remarkable, “did not over
whelm, and the northwest has not
been left asleep at the switch,” Chas.
F. Collisson, agriculture editor of The
Minneapolis Tribune, told members of
the Inland Daily Press association in
this city recently.
“Even wheat raising communities
are alive and active.” said Mr. Collis
son. “A query sent out by The Trib
une revealed 45 different projects now
in active operation locally thruout
the five northwest states to put agri
culture on a better basis.”
Mr. Collisson’s address was on di
versified agriculture and its effect on
the prosperity of communities that
have developed dairying and balanced
farming. He told of the revival of
prosperity in the northwestern states
this year, as a result of the new grain
crops of 1924. “In 1923 the total value
of ten leading crops in the ninth fed
eral reserve district wras about $530,
000,000. in 1924 the same crops were
worth $1,110,000,000 and the prices
are still soaring,” he said.
“All through central and southern
Minnesota where the creameries and
cheese factories are numerous, and
farmers are milking and feeding pigs
and chickens on the by-products of
dairying, it is absurd to say that farm
ers are hard up. They reap a harvest
in the milk pail two or three times
a day and pay their debts like good
business men.”
Mr. Collisson said talk about price
fixing comes largely from communi
ties that do not know much about the
dairy cow. “Wherever we find a com
munity where the cow paths are nu
merous,” he said, “there we find the
real prosperity, even during the past
five years.”
CRIES OF “PUT HIM OUT”
GREET PASTOR IN PULPIT
(Bv Associated Press)
ST. JOHNS, Pa., Feb. 24.—“Put
him out!” and “We want your resig
nation!” greeted the Rev. Harry F.
llbberroth, pastor of St. John’s Re
formed church, when he appeared
in the pulpit, after having been in
duced by the consistory to recon
sider his resignation, offered some
time ago, and to remain as minister
for a temporary period on payment
of $500 salary.
Mr. Ubberroth was even assailed
with the cry, “Throw him out!”
from different parts of the church
when he opened the service.
“There is a legal way to do this,”
replied the clergyman, who retired
from the edifice and did not appear
for the other services of the day.

Alaska-Jewitt Transportation Co., left

Christmas In Sweden Saw
Flowers and Green Fields
(Pv Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 25—T h e
Swedes are accustomed to snow and
ice for Christmas, and the sleigh drive
to church early on Christmas morning
through snowclad forests furnishing
shelter from the cold northern winds,
or over fields thickly covered with
white, is the usual and highly apprec
iated thing. This year, however, the
snowy landscape gave place to a
spring-like country where green grass,
so unusual for the winter season, and
even flowers, abounded. From the ex
treme south to the Polar Circle there
was no snow to be found, and instead
of the usual sleighs, carts and auto
mobiles carried the early churchgoers.
Winter weather of this sort has not
been experienced in Sweden in 75
years, and the high temperatures re
corded in December 1024 smashed all
records.
Throughout the month association
football was played and the great New
Year’s day ice hockey match at Stock
holm, a permanent fixture, gave way
to football because there was no ice.
Near Stockholm, over waters usually
covered thick with ice, a rowing re
gatta was held.
Americans In Berlin Warn
Against Rash Investments
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN, Feb. 25.—There is grow
ing anxiety in American commercial
circles doing business in Germany
over the wildcat schemes promoted
by unscrupulous brokers in New
York, Chicago and other cities, who
entice Americans to invest in Ger
man bonds and stocks of doubtful
value. It is felt that these opera
tions not only harm people of moder
ate means who can ill afford to lose
the money, but that they also under
mine faith in legitimate business un
dertakings.
Every day pathetic letters come
pouring into the office of the Amer
ican Chamber of Commerce here
from men and women in the United
States who have invested in worth
less paper marks, or in securities of
concerns that have long gone bank
rupt. The chamber recommends ear
nestly that all such prospective in
vestors investigate thoroughly before
giving up their money.
Russia Produces New Bee
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN, Feb. 25.—Professor Mos
chewnikow of Moscow, is reported
to have bred a new type of bee
which is a cross between a mother
bee and a working bee. This bee,
upon the development of which the
Russian scientist is said to have been
working for over a year, has the ov
eries of the mother bee fully devel
oped and also the wax glands of the
working bee. The professor believes
it may be of great value in bee cul
ture.
Old Southern City Plans
To Recall Eearly History
(By Associated Press)
CAMDEN, S. C., Feb. 25.—Camden |
reminiscent of Revolutionary war
days and the scene of one of the
more important battles of the strug
gle of the colonists for liberation
from England, will commemorate its
historic past this spring with a pa
geant entitled, “Camden, Yesterday
and Today.”
This quaint town, which in 1768
was one of the six leading cities of
South Carolina, retains much of the
picturesque atmosphere of colonial
times, and a number of buildings
stand as reminders of the Revolu
tionary war period. It is frequent
ed by tourists from the north as a
winter resort.
Episodes in the pageant will por
tray the days of Pine Tree hill, the
coming of the Quakers and the Rev
olution, and visits of Washington and
LaFayette.
According to the decision of a lo
cal judge, women of a town in Bra
zil must not have their hair bobbed
without permission of husbands or
parents.

in a cave in France are declared to
be the wTork of artists who lived 25,
