Detectives search- ing the financial - districts for men wanted on warrants have found only empty offices in most instances. Broh- ers indicted for grand larceny, brok- ers whose bucket shops have been pro- tested and brokers who have reasons to believe they may be protested, ail have folded up their gold stock certi- ficates and stolen away in the night. Nearly one hundred detectives have been sent to Wall street to bring back brokers wanted for trial in the sweeping investigations. Flee- ing brokers have gone for the most part to Europe. A little trip abroad 18 cheaper than the premium on bail. LLOYD GEORGE WEATHERS HARD POLITICAL CRISIS By Ed. L. Keen. By United Preas) London, March 3.—Lloyd George kas weathered another political crisis. The “Die Hards” in the unionist ranks, who would have forced the resignation of the premier or a gen- eral election, were checked by lead- ers of the - conservative party at stormy meetings, which lasted until early today: Arthur Balfour is understood to have used his influence to eid Lloyd George, A group of ‘conservatives under Sir George Younger sought to bring about a return to party poli- tics by attacking Lloyd George. The prime minister threatened to .resign under their attack unless the consétvative party gave him a quasi vote of confidence. Balfour’s specch in London next Tuesday will reiter-| ate Chambcrlain’s explanation. ~C. M. HAMMOND’S MOTHER DIES AT LITTLE FALLS Mrs. Sarah H.

ROUND HOUSE DEFIES WIND But Lightning Routed Builder of Freak Dwaelling in Little Town of the Ozarks. At the very top of the hill in a lit- tle town of the Ozarks, stands the round house. It overlooks one of the most magnificent stretches of moun- tain, valley and river that Missouri af- fords. We climbed the hill in the blaz- ing sun to get a picture and to hear the story. The builder, we were told, had been in a Kansas cyclone, which blew away his house. So this round tower was 1o be proof agalnst the angry winds. He reasoned, probably, that if, like The Round House, One of the Sights of an Ozark Town, the old negro mammy, it had no “side- ways” it couldn’t blow ‘down. It is built entirely of native stone, and has but one circular room below and one above, Not long after it was completed, a terrible thunder storm. swept the hills. A great tree just across the road from the new house was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The pawn of the elements moved on. What kind of shelter did he then seek? Perhaps a cave. The house’ was vacant for a long time, When we visited it a family had Just moved In, but it still wore a de- serted appearance and an air of mys- tery—Kansas City Star. Blackbird Fed Injured Thrush. A lover of birds who keeps food and water out for them at all times, liv- ing a few miles from Wymore, Neb., reports for some time she had been noticing ‘the pecullar actlons of 'a blackbird and a thrush which had been coming to eat regularly, and always together. Upon investigation, she saw | H Ruskin's “Flower Wedding.” | There is a beautiful passage about the flower in one of Ruskin's letters. “You will find,” he says, “that, in fact, | all plants are composed of essentially two parts—the leaf and the root—one loving the light, the other darkness; one liking te be clean, the other to be dirty; one liking to grow for the moét part up, the other for the most part down, and each having faculties and purposes of its own. “But the: pure one twhich loves the light has, above all things, the pur- pose of being married to another leaf, and having child leaves, and chil- dren's children of leaves, to make the earth fair -forever. . And when the leaves marry they put on wedding robes and are more glorious than ‘Sol- omon in all his glory, and they have feasts of honey, and we call them flowers.” Al Willing: Alfred Enopf, the New York pub- Jisher and Russian expert, said in a discusslon of Bolshevism: “So Lenine is discouraged! So he wants to retire to Capri. So he ad- mits he was mistaken in his high opinion of the poor and lowly. Well!” Mr, Knopf smiled 1 a grim way. “Lenine,” he said, “L.s now found out what most of us knew long ago. He has found out, I mean, that the world is full of willing people—a few willing to work and the rest willing to let them.” An automobilist was driving fast enough, according to the evidence, to take one’s breath ‘away, and fast enough for the judge, according to the sentence, to take one’s license away.

' Talking about “getting work out of a husband,” in a certain family there is a saying, “I wish you would do this while you are ‘wet.” - A woman whose husband was very good about helping about the house had-been imposed up- on umtil it came to the last straw, when he was driven in from a hard day's work In the field in the rain. When he reached the house his wife met him with, “While you are wet” do this, and “while. you are wet” do that.

It- will go back to the peo- ple over a long period of years. ! Nearly a billion dollars of the Vic- tory Loan, represented in Victory notes, has been paid off in the past two: years. In all the government sold four and a half billion dollms worth: of these notes, atter hostililics ceased. There were outstanding at ihe end of 1921, slightly over three and a half billion dollars in these se- curities., - Millions of dollars worln were bought in by the treasury at a profit and destroyed. through sinking fund operations, . Others were receiv- ed as patriotic ~gifts, and " millions were received in estate taxes. : Treasury experts agree that goud: financial practice demands retirement of at least 60 per cent of the entire issue on or before maturity in £ of next year. 'Thig means that cle Sam will have to find at least an- other billion dollars-and a half. Tas might: be done ‘with comfort were it not ‘for ‘the fact that there are out- standing treasury certificates and oth- er securities, including treasury notes and war savings certificates, in an agregate amount of two and a half billion with ‘moaturities falling due ahead of the Victory loan. . This means that the treasury will have to continue the issue from time to time of short term notes, which wiil fund the floating indebtedness repr: sented in the treasury certificates. Despite this sitvation and the hands- caps faced in Congressionai unwii lingnéss to meet treasury plans, Uncle Sam is doing very well ~ He has bor- rowed ‘on treasury ‘certificites a bil- lion and a half against this year's tax receipts, but good managemenp will, wipe this out unless a soldier {bonuy bill is passed or some other heavy expenditure encountered. The treasury is in fact in the best poisition it has occupied since the early days of the war. The necessity for paying off tax certificates matur- ing, and of retiring Victory notes can be met through the issue of blocks of new short -time notes which wiil spread theé maturities, and this is the announced treasury plan. 'If all goes well Uncle Sani will owe a billion dollars less-at the beginning of ihe next New Year, than he does now. THE PIONEER WANT ADS SAYS.
