Their response has been prompt and generous, as revealed by reports of a widespread trend back to normal buying habits, " oapecia.ly among farmers. Compelled by the adverse conditions of recent years to buy sparingly, at the cheapest price, and without regard to quality, farmers are hfcing greatly encouraged to find that in many lines, quali y merchandise is offered at prices well within their ability to pay. An example is to be found' in the case of* Chilean" natural nitrate, a fertil.fcor of south-wide importance which bus been used in the United States for more than 100 years. In this easep farmors- can satisfy their ' preference for a high. standard of halanrrd quality without paying anything extra for it, even though the presence of a number of valuable impurities in the natural nitrate gives it a po it ion of distinguished fcacftuaeas among the rather large number of other " materials, not of natural origin. .

RAILROADS AND HOBOS Tramps Now Taken Care of In govern tent Camps and Kept off Cars January 1 was the date set by official of railroads to commence restrictive measures against "hopping freight-."
