An important aspect of the gathering was the spirit of optimism and genuine enthusiasm which prevailed. Every person whorwas there sensed the undercurrent of revived interest which pervaded the session, many of them commenting on it. Further evidence of the success which the members feel will attend the re-creation of the civic organisation is found in the fact that it was one of the largest meetings of a similar nature ever held in lola.

Flexible By-Laws. The new outline of organization, as presented by a committee headed by Guy Pees was brief and flexible in nature. Its most essential provisions were for "rule by membership dollar-a-year dues, and an unpaid secretary.

Police Ball Fund Suffers Because Cops Do Duty Last night the city police ran against the first snag in their drive to sell tickets to the policemens ball. The snag was in the form of two men. who gave their names as George and Joe Koellen, both of Piqua, and who definitely could not be convinced that it was duty to buy tickets. After their lusty assertions yesterday about tickets either to the Jig or the jug the police were on the spot. What could they do? They deemed it necessary that some sort of ticket should be issued.

Since the gentlemen from Piqua had put the purchase of tickets to the ball completely out of the question, charges were necessarily preferred and a ticket of a different nature made out. Massoith was turned over to the state authorities later, charged with the possession and transportation of. liquor and Koellen placed in custody on a charge of drunkenness. Incidentally, with the collection today of an $80 fine from Koellen on his third offense here in lola, the total sum which has been collected by the city police within the past two days in fines alone has reached If 'Koellen had bought the ticket to the ball it would have cost him only $1.

Businessmen and Farmers May See Good Times Ahead Optimistic Prediction Is Made at Farm Outlook Meeting Six Counties Represented Nearly 100 Near Manhattan Economists Predict Markets That fanners and business men of Kansas will experience a somewhat more profitable spring and summer in 1933 was the prediction made at the agricultural outlook meeting held at the Kelley hotel here today.

The meeting was under the sponsorship of Vance Rucker and Otis Glover, extension representatives of Kansas State college, aided by Dan M. Braum, Allen county farm agent. Wheat prices will average about the same as in 1934 with a slightly lower trend during the last half of the year as compared with the first half, the state college representatives predicted. It was their opinion that corn prices will be strong during the first half of the year, with an indication of lower prices by summer. More Feed This Year.

In case weather conditions prove favorable to growing crops, the outlook is for an increased production in feed grains in 1933. In the livestock division ihe college representatives made the prediction that a general upward trend in hog prices would be experienced. A large com crop may be produced in 1935. In such an event they said that "the fall peak price probably will be the peak of the present hog cycle. The general trend of all cattle prices appears to be upward, they continued.

It is expected that fat cattle prices for the first half of the year will show a steady to slightly lower trend, followed by a sharply advancing trend during the third quarter. Lamb Prices Up. Lamb prices will also follow this general trend upward with the spring peak price about as high as that of 1934. It is not expected that the spring to fall decline will be as great as that of last year. The most trying period of the dairy farmer will be during the present feeding period, the representatives said.

It was predicted that he would fare better during the last half of the year than during the first. The forecast for next fall is a better relationship between feed costs and the prices of dairy products, with a more normal supply of ieed. Poultrymen are slated to reap profits during the last half of 1935, according to the economists, although "it is not likely that the prices of eggs and poultry will advance in 1933 as they did in 1934 unless consumer purchasing power is materially higher than it was in 1934. Truck Prices Up. Commercial fruit and vegetable crops are expected to be in increased demand during the first half of the Farm machinery prices will probably advance in 1935, the men from the college said, but the raise in prices should be slight because prices of these items declined less than those for any other group from 1929 to 1933.

The drouth last summer is In evidence particularly in the livestock, feed, and fruit and vegetable market forecasts. It is expected, however. that the acute feed situation in the fore part of the year will offset in part the higher prices will be paid to livestock producers. It' was estimated by Mr. Braum that between 75 and 100 representatives from Allen, Bourbon, Coffey, Woodson, Crawford, and Linn ties were at the meeting today.

The forenoon session Included discussion of the general business situation and production control pro-grama. The afternoon portion of the program was made up of presentation and explanation of the market outlook with suggestions for applying the outlook to farming operations.

R. Argues Texan Would Attach Patman Bill to Huge Relief Measure President Urges Lump Sara Special Message Called Argument from President by Snell (Bjr th Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 24. The 2.100 million, dollar cash bonus issue was injected suddenly into house consideration of the 4,880 million relief bill today after President Roosevelt renewed opposition to congressional demands that projects to be financed by the latter fund be itemized in advance. Rep.

McFarlane (D-Tex.) served notice he would propose attaching he Patman plan for paying the veterans certificates to the relief measure, but failed to obtain a ruling on whether such an amendment would be in order. Doubt Success of Motion. Informed parliamentarians doubted that the chair would entertain the bonus motion. A special message from Mr. Roosevelt transmitting voluminous reports on natural resource developments again emphasized to congress it was "clearly impossible at the moment to itemize use of the 4.800 million dollar work relief fund.

Presidential Argument. Representative Snell, the Republican leader, said of the presidents message: "It 1s the first time in my recollection the White House had sent down an "argument from the president in the midst of consideration of a bill. Snell renewed demands to have put on paper just where the money was going. A vote seemed distant as amendment after amendment was offered to the big money bill. The first eliminated from the measure the broad classifications as to kinds of work for the money could be expended.

It was adopted 171 to 58 despite a warning the supreme courts ruling in the oil case might make the bill unconstitutional. Dictator Cried. Charges of dictatorship again were directed at the bill. Representative Treadway (R-Mass.) said that if it becomes law, "Hitler and Mussolini will be green with envy of the president and Stalin will have a fit of jealousy. This newest White House opposition to a determined movement in both parties to say In detail how the fund should be spent was given In a special message transmitting to the capitol the report of the national resources board and the Mississippi valley committee of the public works administration.

Of both reports which have been made public previously, the president said: A Permanent Policy. These documents constitute a remarkable foundation for what we hope will be a permanent policy of orderly development in Ipvery part of the United States. Then referring more directly to the move for legislative allocation of the mammoth public project fund the president said: "As I have already stated, it is only because of the current emergency of unemployment and because of the physical impossibility of surveying, weighing, and testing each end every project that a segregation of items is clearly impossible at this time. Would Be a Hindrance. "For the same reason the constituting of fixed and permanent administrative machinery would retard the immediate employment objective.

Mr. Roosevelt expressed the hope that "after the immediate crisis of unemployment begins to mend, we can afford to appropriate approximately 500 million dollars each year for purposes of an orderly development of public projects. Commenting on the two reports, Mr. Roosevelt said: Must Work Together. "Man and nature must work hand in hand.

The throwing out of balance of the resources of nature throws out of balance also the lives of men. We find millions of our citizens stranded in village and on farm stranded there because nature can not support them in the livelihood they had sought to gain through her."
