HINT TO U. 8.: CHOP OFF CORNERS OF $2 BILLS (By United Press.) Washington, Jan. 27.—'Sec” Stan- ton is dead. At the “vanity table” in the senate restaurant in the capitol here, they mourn ‘“Sec.” He waited on that table, which gets its name by redson of the mirrors fronting it. Nobody, not even “‘Sec’” knew what his real first name was, apparently. As a boy he played around the home of Secretary of War Staliton, member of Lincoln’s cabinet. And everybody called him “Sec.” ‘““Sec” was endeared to the “vanity table” over which he had presided for many years, by his superstitians. The chief of these had to do with $2 bills. Give ‘‘Sec’” one in payment of a luncheon check, and he would at once tear off ‘a corner. Sometimes the same $2 bill was passed from hand to hand and given to “Sec” half a dozen times in a few minutes, just to see him exercise the evil spirit in it. For to him it was bad luck. “What makes‘you think a $2 bill is bad luck, Se iombody asked “I don't think.it, I lmow it,” said Sec. *“I left Chicago once with & new suit and a roll with $800 in it. Had a lot of them two-spots.. I didn’t know they was bad luck. It sot to Baltimo’ an’ right there them two spots got to me, Man, Ilost that new suit in a crap game, an’ my roll— well, I done walked into Washin- ton.” WHY DOUGHBOYS WEPT. (By United Press.) Coblenz, Jan, 2. (By Mail.)— There were tears in the eyes of the soldier. Such tears are rare, 80 when the Y. M. C. A, canteen worker, a young woman, saw the doughboy weeping her sympathy went out to him. She. wondered what tragedy had broken down a strong man’s na- tural self-control. ' He wasn’'t mak- ing a sound, just dropping silent tears. Could it be because the war had ended ‘without his seeing fighting or— “Has your buddy—died?"’ timidly suggested the Y. M. C. A. worker. She had seen more than one man shed tears for his buddy who wouldn't have done it for- himself. “Naw,” sald the Yank, rather crossly. ‘‘He’s' all right. He'lt be along yowling for his supper in a minute.” -He lifted his handkerchief to hls eyes agnln aybe you're just plain home- slck.?' asked the Y. M. C. A. woman, after a moment's hesitation. ~ She hated to leave him in such obvious trouble. “No I .ain’t,’ he contradicted. “Well, it there’s anything I can do,—"" “Theres nothing anyone.can do for” me, lady,” he said. ‘“I'm in trouble, all right, but I guess I'll get over it. * You see; we're havin' onlons ;21- supper tonlght; and. I'm’ doin’ SR T0 DEMOBILIZE DOBBIN. (By United Press.) e London, Jan. 15. (By Mall.)~—For sale: 750,000 army horses. If anyone is in need of a horse there will be ample opportunities for gecuring one during the next few months, The gee-gees are being demobi- lized. The strong, old- “working horse” who left his cart behind him to take up duties ‘‘over there” is eom- ing back to his old job and a happy home. = A ‘considerable number will be required for the army of occupa- tion, and the Belgian government is being provided with 50,000 animals, but there still remain three quarters of a million to dispose of, and sales will be held at regular intervals all over Great: Britain, so as to ensure proper distribution.” Each animal will have his ration card with him. MINNESOTA STATE FAIR OFFICERS MEETING TODAY (By United Press.)

Paul, vice president; Frank Millard, Canby, manager from the seventh congressional district, and Judge Michael Holm, manager from the nineth district. CANADA WOULD SET PRICE OF WHEAT SIMILAR TO U. S. Pr ST (By United ‘Press.) ‘Winnipeg, Jan. '27.—Governments of all the great wheat producing countries would meet annually to es- tablish international wheat prices and govern standards, under a sug- gestion passed by the Saskatchewan legislature. In a message to the Canadian government the body asked that 191 wheat prices be established in conformity with the price set by the United States. It is possible the suggestion of the Saskatchewan legislature will go be- fore the proposed League of Nations. WAR PICTURES EXHIBITED. (By United Press.) St. Paul, Jan. 27.—Hundreds of war photographs with a touch of “home about them were on exhibit at the St. Paul library today. Any sort of picture bearing on the war was to be accepted, for the “war photograph exhibition.” Plctures of the boys before they left home in camp or ‘‘over there” were popular. NEGATIVE SIDE WON.
