INVESTMENTS SHOW STEADY IMPROVEMENT Perhaps a 'great funny of the people of the nation w ho deal in investments regard stock and Ixjnd quotations as about the liest barometer of business conditions, rot those whoMeel that market quotations on securities represent correspond ing improvement or depression in the national economic situation, this month already has brought much cheer. We refer to stock and bond averages of yesterday particu larly. These averages, prepared daily by Standard Statistics Co., with the 1926 average equalling 100, set new high marks in every division for Feb. 5. In stocks, industrials were averaged at 105, compared with 48.5 a year ago, and 217.1 five years ago. Ilailroads were at 51.3 compared with 28.1 a year ago, and 139.4 five years ago'. The figures on utilities were 85.8 yesterday, 82 a year ago' and 216.1 five years ago. The average of all stocks was 93.8, compared with 51.3 a year ago and 201.1 five yeai-3 ago. In the Iwnd market, where wide fluctuations are more rare, the total averages showed 84.8 compared with 70.1 a year ago and 97.5 three years ago. Comparisons with five yean, ago were not listed in the averages. Now to look through the figures: In stocks, industrials, which led the big parade in 1929 when prices were superfi cial, forced up to unnatural high marks by the pressure .of wild-eyed speculation, show the greatest gain 6ver a year agp a gain of well over 100 per cent. Railroads, another very active class, showed a gain in the last year of nearly 100 per cent. ' Utilities, which did not crash so hard as the others after 1929, showed a gain of only a small percentage. The Ixind market gain seems most encouraging from a broad standpoint, because it represents a betterment in the last year of approximately 20 per cent and is only 15.7 under normalcy. Also, artificial movement 1h less apt to creep into the bond market due to gambling, and a pronounced gain in this classification of investments really represents a forward step in business. In black and white, it is merely another strong pi-oof that the nation is back on the trail that leads to normalcy, and moving ahead steadily in spite of an occasional momentary downward course in the chart.

EXPLAINS WHY NEW FORI) V - 8 IS ECONOMICAL Many motorists are Inclined to think that the more cylinders a motor has. tho more gasoline it will use, but generally this Is net the case, according to W. C "Cy" Perkins. Ford dealer for La Grande territory. "What really count." says 1'crklns, "is the piston displacement; that Is. the total number of cubic Inches of space ln all the cylinders of an en Biiu. Generally speaking, tlie bore and stroke- of a motor Qth fuur cylinders Is greater than one with eight cylinders. In both cases the displacement may lie the same, and the total number of cylinders, there fore, would hold exactly the same quantity of gas, air or water, but the eight-cylinder motor, because of ite smoother operation, should burn less gas." Mr. Perkins made this expliulor to justily the chum that the Ford V-tt lor 10 a 4 is tho ujoj.1 cconomlc iilly oeniting Font car ever built.

As all the other pictures these four comedians have made. "Duck Soup" is crammed with delightful music Including the now famous "Who's Afraid or the Big Bad Wolf?"

The county needs money, but its wealthiest citizen. Miss Dumont, refuses to lend the country any more unless the fearless fighter, Rufus T. Firefly, played by Oroucho, Is ap pointed dictator.
