Evidence of prosperity, almost nation wide, was given in the last income and profits tax payments to the government, treas ury officials declared, basing their statement on figures which, although incomplete, support their oarlier estim ate of receipts of $400,000,000 between March 1 and 15. One of the reasons given for the view that business conditions im proved throughout last year and are continuing on the upgrade was that ; although the general level "of federal tax rates has been lowered as com pared with the rates upon which last year's payments were based, treasury figures indicate the aggregate amount j of taxes collected during the first half of March this year will far exceed the Collection for the same period last year, when they totaled about $336. 000,000. Reports to the treasury showed that this amount had been ex ceeded probably by $50,000,000. Washington, D. C. The movement for the renomination of President Harding, which first took tangible f-rm in recent conferences among a gic.p ti! k.s Lds here, has devel oped to a stage where details of the personnel and programme of a pre conventlon organization in his behalf are receiving active attention. For the present the two most virile topics of these discussions relate to the choice of those who are to head the organization and to various feat ures of the country-wide speaking trips the president himself is expected to make during the summer. Already a tentative itinerary for the trip is under consideration and Mr. Harding's ad- : visers are putting their heads together ; to aid him in his selection of the topics he is to discuss. Attorney-General Daugherty's an nouncement in Miami Saturday that the president would be a candidate again, accepted here as further con firming the impression which has been current for some weeks in po litical circles, is expected to hasten j the work of formulating a definite programme and a definite backing with which he can go before the coun try. As it now stands, the plan for his trip contemplate! his departure from Washington during June for a speech making swing which will lake him to about 20 principal cities, including two or three on the Pacific coast. o discussion of g the annual pool into niter which would prompt earlier enls, closing these pools every s and giving each grower an mity to select the pool in his hay would be sold, second plan is to continue the poo: as al present, but lo un- association au sure the senti.

The Morehouse Parish grand jury, which began its sessions here on March 5 in connection with the masked band activities in the par ish last summer, submitted its report to Judge Fred M. Odom, Btating Its failure to find indictments on account of insufficient evidence.

At no time have local prices anywhere in the north west approached those paid lor hay in the Hermlston-Boardmau vicin ity, the difference ranging from $1.50 ot $2.50. Authentic reports from t lie Yak ima valley reveal I he fact that a very large number of then largest dealers in that Valley have lost heavily this year in speculating in hay. The hay growers' association last spring and summer requested the.se dealers to assist them in get ting the fanners a fair price for hay. This cooperation was refused, in spite of abundant evidence pro duced by the association that dairy men on the coast w.re willing to pay this price. It now develops that these deal ers continued during the su miner the practice of selling short on the coast in an endeavor lo hold prices of hay down. guhuon notdilsq6MU r lsyhi2u The haygrowers' association, real izing the fanners' necessity, did everything possible lo get before their minds accurate statements as to the hay situation, which (hey contended justified a considerably higher price. In carrying out this en deavor they had the active support of two or three hay dealers, but were decidedly opposed by the ma jority, it is claimed for the orgs i Nation by its sponsors that thi.s ac tivity of I he association in en deavoring to raise the price of hay, as the opposing factor to the de;,l era' comihnalion to bear prices, has made a diffi rence of several dollars a ton for the entire QorthWS t The past ten days has illustrated the value of trees on the Project I'ntil we have tins any thing bu deep rooted eroo i is ruhlecl to the whims of our South-V Iters, We ai ordering thru the Beatrice Nurserj of Beatrice, Nebraska, ome In Bi locusts al a C03t of $3.25 per thou sand.
