Prosperity Turns Heads
of New Rich of Uganda
LONDON, Mar. 24.—(AP).—Some
^ of the natives in Uganda, East Afri
ca. have become so prosperous sell
ing totton lately that they have for
gotten nearly all about clothing and
invest their incomes on bicycles,
bright-colored beads ,and numerous
other novelties from abroad, William
G. A. Ormsby-Gore, under secretary
* for the colonies, told the African So
ciety in London at a recent dinner.
Mr. Ormsby-Gore was a member
of a parliamentary delegation which
visited East Africa last year and
was describing some of the experi
ences of the London party. Inciden
tally, he considers Uganda a natural
cotton-growing country and, he said,
“probably the best in the world, the
southern states of America not ex
cepted.” Many natives, the “nou
veaux riche,” he called them, had
become troublesome, due to their
prosperity, and insisted upon buy
ing luxuries instead of necessities.
At one place, said the speaker,
the delegation was presented with
a live elephant. It still remains
their property, although they left
the animal behind, and every few
weeks they receive a bill for its
feed, while as yet no one has decid
ed how to get rid of it.

World War Veterans
Do Well As Farmers
OTTAWA, Mar. 24.—(AP).—Form
er soldiers of the dominion’s war
time armies to the number of 30,
604 have been established on farms
of their own, according to the re
port of the Soldier Settlement Board.
Of this total 24,143 have been
granted loans, some as high as $7,
500 each, according to the report,
I and the remainder have been given
grants of dominion land without the
loans. A total of $103,150,098 has
been spent for land, clearing, per
| manent improvements and stock
i equipment. Veterans already have
| returned $19,000,000 to the govern
I ment in repayment of principal and
in interest on loans.
“The majority of the soldier set
tlers have made good on the farm,”
said the report. “Those who had no
agricultural experience have been
trained in special schools. Field su
pervisors of the Soldier Settlement
| Board visit the veterans at intervals
! superintend their farming operations
and give them practical help.
“The department of soldiers’ civic
reestablishment reported an average
expenditure of $50,000,000 a year on
soldiers’ pensions, hospital treat
ment for the disabled, vocational ed
! ucation and unemployment relief.”

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one/’
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
Every day you miss good news of an improve

you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac

Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
