Here||| is how the vote went: In favor of having their own wages_reduced—0. In favor of having the other fellow’s wages reduced—10. —Ain’t It a Fact?— Ah! There's One Left! Dear Twentieth Century: Found,; —A rare specimen of the butcher tribe. A man entered a local butch- er shop the other day and asked for some scraps for his dog. Although he pulled out a dollar bill and offer- ed to pay for it, the man; behind the counter refused to accept anything but thanks in return. It is thought that the butcher belongs to a tribe known some years ago for their big- heartedness, but which has long since been considered extinet in this lo-| cality.—A.

She is default- ing, Major Trevor said, because she hu.s neither money nor the credit to raise it Meanwhile there is much alarm in England over the serious unemploy- ment situation that has resulted from stagnation in trade. More than 2,000,000 men are workless. British government schemes to provide jobs on various schemes of emergency work had, by a recent census, fyrnished work for only 107,- 368 men. In the background of ‘every argu- ment here over European rehabilita- tion looms the big question of paying interest and principal on Europe’s gigantic debt to America. . Promi- nent economists, who will today not allow themselves to be quoted, are urging cancellation of Europe’s debt to the United States as equally nec- essary as revamping Germany’s debt to the winners of the war. DECLARES MANY MIDDLEMEN HINDER FARM PRODUCTION (By United Press) I"argo. N. D., Jan. 30.—Many of the middlemen between the farmer and consumer are barnacles on the ship of production, U. L. Burdick, director of the United States Grain Growers, Inc., for North Dakota, de- clared in outlining the purpose of co- operative societies whose aim is to bting producer and consumer closer together. “There has never been a time,” Burdick declared, “when the nation realized more fully the importance of a prosperous farmer in the prosper- ous machinery of the country.”” The farmer, * he said, purchases three-sevenths of "the steel cutput, | one-half the leather, 40 per cent of | the. textile products and he receives only 37 per cent of what the con- sumer pays for farm products—14 per cent goes into profits and 49 per cent into transportation and hand- ling. | ure. i he has picked 1922 for his comebs‘l‘:k, He has | New has not that gift. ;E MARKETS | i S POTATO MARKET Chicago, Jan. 30.—Potatoes, weak; receipte, 73 cars; total U.

NEW IS FACING HARD FIGHT FOR ELECTION (Continued From Page 1) But_there are indications that and the senate for his stage. ‘been lecturing over Indiana, keeping in totich with the people, and mak- ing his dynamic personality felt. He has betrayed just enough interest in public questions to let people know pretty well where he stands. On the soldier bonus, for instance, Bever- idge has taken a decided stand. He also has expressed definite views on taxation. The two questions are certain_to be among the foremost is- sues of the 1922 elections, it now appears. New personally is_not worried over the prospect that Beveridge may run against him. He has until re- cently been deaf to urgings of his friends that he go back home and do a little fence mending. He has re- cently decided to make some speech- es soon, but not on political subjects. New is banking on the strength of the Indiana Republican organization and perhaps of the national adminis- tration, to pull him through. He will have the state orfanizntion solidly back of him, he will have all the sup- port President Harding can with pro- priety give him. Looking at it that way, it doesn’t seem as though Bev- eridge had a chance. But the former senator has a way of getting the people. He is by na- ture all that New is not. Beveridge was born to win people by means of his voice, his oratory, his personality. He depends on the more homely gifts of organiz- ing precincts and “staying put” on party questions. Indiana gave Harding an abnor- mal majority. That was the voice of unrest. A keen observer from the state said the other day: “Indiana voted for something different and didn’t get it. Ever since, the swing towards political normalcy in the state has been more. pronounced.” Political normaley ' in Indiana means close ‘elections. It may be that Beveridge, if he runs, can cap- italize the dissatisfaction evident in Indiana as well as elsewhere and beat New for the nomination. If New wins, he is likely to face in the general election one of the u})—aml-commgl\“ younger democrats of the state. Former Vice-President Marshall, Tom Taggart and Samuel Ralston are all heard of in connec- tion with the democratic nomination, but more likely than any of these are two men of a newer generation —Claude G. Bowers, editor of ‘the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazzette, and Bowers is an orator and a writer of brilliant talents,. formerly asso- ciated with John W. Kern, and au- thor of Kern’s biography. Van Nuys has just completed a term as United States district' attorney at Indian- apolig, in" which officé' he made an excellent record. ¥ Tom Marshall - could, of course, have the démacratic ‘senatorial nom- ination fof the asking, but he will not ask it. "Truth is, Marshall is.‘‘fed up” on the senate, as he himself said. Indiana democrats are looking for- ward to the contest with much con- fidence. They won more than 50 out of .70 gdd municipal elections last November, and that, they say, is the “indicator” for the result of the sen- atorial and congr al struggles, DOINGS OF INTEREST T EX-SERVICE MEN By ’N;omns L. Stokes (United Press Staft Correspondent) Washington, Jans; 30.—The tre- mendous toll in gical disability taken by the Wi ‘;i in the ranks of soldiers of this:eo@ntry is-being brought to light th¥ough the efforts of the United States Veterans Bu- reau. A total of 760,153 claims have been filed with the bureau by ex-sol- diers since its organization. During the past year, three years after the Armistice, the bureau has been literally swamped, approxi- mately 250,000 claims having been filed in 1921, official records of the office here show. Over 80,000 of these claims were the result of the clean-up campaign conducted by the Veterans Bureau throughout the country last year.

N Investigation by the bureau re- vealed -that there were great num- bers of veterans suffering from ma- jor disabilities who lacked informa- tion as to the proper method of fil- ing their claims. In many cases they were entirely ignorant of the.relief provided by the government. Another canse for many of the late claims now coming into the of- fice is that minor disabilities, which: the ex-doughboys thought too slight for compensation, have become ma- jor_disabilities through inadequate medical attention after discharge and on account of the character of occu- g:tion in which many of them have come engaged. The United States Veterans Bu- reau faces a big job this year. Be- side taking care of 104,578 men now in vocational training, it must find a way to provide for 29,960 who are ready, but not yet in training. The records ‘show that 153,650 men are now receiving disability compensa- tion. Last year a total of 245,153 claims were handled by the bureau. Altogether 760,153 claims have been filed with the bureau since the Ar- mistice. The army is going to dress up. Crusade has béen started by the War Department against the ill-fitting uniforms at the time of issuc. Where there are quartermaster tailor shops | the alteration will be made there. At camps where there is no tailor the fitting will be done under contract. But the suit must fit, the War De- partment has decreed. Complaint has been widespread, too, the War Department acknowl- edges, regarding the campaign hat now used.. However, nothing can! be done about that at the present: time as there are on hand some 750,:! 000 such hats acquired during the! war which will have to be used up, before a change can be made, the| department _states. g { ' “Many of the disabled veterans in vocational training _in our leading universities are showing a high grade of scholarship. These men who left the college class roof to go to war or who had deferred their enrollment in the universities until they had completed their service to their coun- try are making better grades than those students who did not wear the uniform,” Col.

With his older brother, Serafino, who also became a prince of -the Church, he attended the Capranica College in Rome, and after his. ordination in, 1860 became a professor of theology. Five years later he entered the dip- lomatic service and in 1867 returned to Rome as secretary to the Cardinal Secretary of State.
