cipal cities of Missouri Kansas and Ne
braska Do reports an Improvement In

prices of tho agricultural products ot
those States would boost the lumber busi-
ness enormously but so long an corn tho
staple product of the farms of that section
brings only 12 mid 13 cents pec bushel no
permanently btibstantlal tinprorumry can
bo expected The farmers have however
been liquidating their Indebtedness during
the past few yenis nnd ato now In belter
financial rondlllon than for several years
Thero Is hopo amonR them that when the
f orth and South line from Kansas City

ers n rato that will Insuro the marketing
of their corn and other piodncln nt a
profit Should mailers thus favorably
eventuate all lines of business and tho

ly Improve
