This large door is the size you need on a stove because some of the wood you have is large and full of knots. “Look at the way this door opens—all soot and ashes drop back into the stove instead of falling on the floor. Comparing this stove with the other embed stoves you can realize that Cole’s Original Air = Tight Wood Stove is the peer of them all.’? Mr. B.—‘‘Yes, this is the kind of stove for us. Now, wife, see that double-seamed bottom and that lock- seam in the body? No door frame to seak air and spoil the fire control. “See that patent hinge on the ash door that letsitshut up just like a pump valve?” Salesman—‘‘See how the outside polished sides are pro- tected from actual contact with the flames, and yet they ” | will radiate heat from only a burning newspaper. : .

Action of the Salina post of the American Legion in opposing the non- partisan league movement in Kansas was upheld by the executive commit- tee of the American Legion, depart- ment of Kansas. Resolutions were adopted denouncing A. C. Townley, head of the league. Conflict between the departments of state and labor arose over the final decision as to the admission of Daniel J. O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, apprehended by immigration authori- ties on his arrival at Newport News from Iieland as a stowaway without a passport. Lumber Industry Investigated. Washington.—A general investiga- tion of the lumber industry, particular- ly of the yellow pine industry of the south, is being conducted by the de- partment of justice to determine whether there have been violations of the Sherman anti trust act. This be- | came known after the federal trade commission had transmitted to con- gress a copy of a report on the activi- ties of organization of lumber manu- facturers, which it has prepared at the request of the department of jus- tice. Farmers Are Still Holding Food Back. Washington.—Farmers still hold a great amount of onions, potatoes and various root crops, says the weekly market review of the department of agriculture. As an explanation, the review declares that “perhaps there never was a time when the average price obtained fell so far below cost of producing and. marketing.” Railways Earn $150,000,000 Last Year. Washington.—The railroads of the country earned only about $160,000,000 last year, or $395,000,000 less than in 1919, according to estimates prepared by H. P. Parmelee, director of the bureau of railway economics, ee ON TIME By CORONA REMINGTON. (®, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) “Gee! I'm insane!” he ejaculated as he let the paper fall from his hand and plunged toward the door, “What's the matter, Langdon?” asked an astonished fellow club mem- ber. “Just noticed the date on that paper —It’s the twenty-eighth and tomor- row—” His friend did not hear the rest as the door slammed behind him. “Most absent-minded fellow I ever knew; always forgetting some dinner engagement or something,” volunteered another member who was sitting near- by. John Langdon dashed up to his room, glanced at the clock, threw a few things into a suitcase, laid a brand-new sult carefully on top, picked up his hat, overcoat and valise and rushed down to the street. As he opened the front door a gust of snow- laden wind nearly knocked him over. He biinked as the sharp particles bit his face, but hurried to the corner, where a taxi picked him up. “Grand Central,” he ordered, “in a hurry.” And a few minutes later he was scrambling up the steps of Num- ber Thirty-eight. “Golly! That was a close squeak !” he ejaculated as he dropped limply into a nearby seat and in another sec- ond the train began slowly moving out of the station. It was a typical February night, and Langdon's young, clear-cut features took on an expression of anxiety as he reviewed the possibilities of be- coming snowbound, “And the farther west we go the worse it’s apt to get,” he groaned un- der his breath. Thoroughly exhausted he retired early. When he awoke the next morning he rang for the porter. “How long before we get to Hunt- ington?” he asked. “Due at five-twenty, but we’s three hours late already, sab,” and the black head withdrew. “Good Lord! . And we were to be married at eight,” moaned Langdon. “She'll never forgive me.” His face turned a ghastly white as the situation impressed itself upon him. Before he could even hope to reach Huntington the guests would have begun to assemble, the minister would be there to perform the cere- mony, and he, the bridegroom would be—where? Adele would never for- give him. “Have to let it go at that,” he said at last, as he reread his latest efforts: “I know you can never forgive me, but shall not reach Huntington before 8:15 or 8:30 at least. Whatever you do about it I shall love you always. Will explain when I arrive.” When the wire reached Huntington Adele read it in bewilderment. “What can {t mean?” she asked as she handed it to her mother. “I can't understand it at all,” she answered, Langdon will never forget that day. The world cannot abuse one for- ever, At last 88 crawled into Hun- tington and Langdon leaped from the car before it came to a standstill. As he rushed through the station he glanced at the clock. Eight thirty-five, it plactdly announced. He jumped into the first taxi and soon found himself standing at the Hamiltons’ front door, with his heart missing every other beat. He was dumbfounded to find that no guests were assembled, no carriages stood without. Had she decided not to marry him and sent them all away? He reeled as the thought flashed into his mind, and for a second, contem- plated flight. An instant later she was beside him. He never remembered having entered the house. “Dear Jack, do tell me what's the matter. Everything's so strange and incomprehensible. I've been nearly distracted since your telegram came this morning.” “Darling, can you ever forgive me?” he pleaded. “Forgive you for what?” she de manded, growing pale with anticipa- tion. “For what?” he shrieked, “Why, for being late. You know we were to be married at 8 o'clock and it's nearly 9 now.” “But we decided that the wedding was to be tomorrow, the first of March and my birthday.” “But today is the first of March. Yesterday was the last day of Febru- ary.” “No, it wasn’t, Jack. Yesterday was the 28th. This is leap-year, you know.” It was Langdon’s turn to be sur- prised now. An expression of intense relief and happiness overspread his face as he sprang off the couch in a bound and caught the little girl tn bis arms. “Tomorrow we will drink a toast to the leap-year and all the leap-years to come,” he laughingly said. And they did. Various Races. The Anglo-Saxon race is usually considered to include the people descended from the tribes that invad- ed Britain and settled there 1,500 years ago. The English people and the lowland Scotch, with their de- scendants in various parts of the world, are Anglo-Saxons, while the Welsh and Scotch highlanders are of Celtic origin, like the Irish, The French are a Latin race, the Scan- dinaviaus Teutonic. a eee HARDING RESIGNS AS SENATOR FROM OHIO Retirement to Take Effect Six Weeks Before Inau- guration. Marion, O.—President-elect Harding resigned as senator from Ohio, for- warding his letter of resignation to Columbus for action of the newly elect- ed republican governor, Harry L. Da- vis, who assumed office Monday. Mr. Harding made January 15 the effective date of his resignation, or six weeks before his inauguration. The inauguration may include a unique ceremony, it was indicated, when it became known Mr. Harding had approved a plan to have all mem- bers of the electoral college present in Washington. The proposal was made by Ohio elee- tors, who suggested at first that all republican electors be invited, and later modified the plan te include an invitation to republicans and demo- crats alike. Such a meeting would have no legal significance, since the casting of bal- lots by the electors took place Monday in state capitals. INCREASE OF 48 IN HOUSE IS PROPOSED Washington.— Membership of the house will be increased to 483 under a bill reported by Chairman Siegel of the census committee to fix the reap- portionment for ten years under the 1920 census. The bill would mean an increase of 48 over the present mem- bership. No state would lose any rep- resentation. California would make the largest gain of new members, five, bringing her total to 16. Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania would gain four each, Illinois and Texas three, Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Carolina two each; while Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Mary- land, Minnesota, New Mexico, Okla- homa, Oregon, South Carolina, Tenne- see, Virginia, Washington, West Vir- ginia and Wisconsin would gain one each. The basis of representation is fixed at one member for each 218,979 inhabi- tants as compared to 211,873 as at present. PLAN BRANDED AS FAILURE Legion Takes Action to See Disabled Veterans Get Aid. Washington.—The system of reha- bilitating disabled war veterans is de- nounced by the American Legion as a “failure which should be remedied by consolidating under a single head the three government agencies en- gaged in that work.” This charge and the remedial suggestion will be pre- sented by the legion to President Wil- son, President-elect Harding and to every member of congress in a mem- orial directing attention to the “suf- fering, shameful neglect and injustice” which the legion asserts marks admin- istration of the affairs of the war veterans. The memorial asserts that the United States has been more liberal than any other nation to disabled soldiers, but that it has failed, in a large measure, to make its provisions available. Electoral College Votes For President. Washington.—To complete another step in making official the election of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Cool- idge as president and vice president of the United States, electoral college convened Monday in the various state capitols of the nation. Electors voted for by the people cast their ballots as designated in November. The final step to complete the election will be taken February 9 at a joint meeting of the senate and house. Certificates of the votes of each state will be counted at that time. U. 8. Withdrawe from Conference. Washington.—The United States it! was learned authoritatively has decid- ed to withdraw from the council of ambassadors .which has been meeting continuously in Paris to consider the armistice question and questions grow- img out of the peace treaty. The five powers, Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the United States, were represented in the council. { Reduction of Navy Personne! Proposed Washington. — Reduction in the navy’s enlisted personnel from an average strength of 120,000 to 100,000, ig the basis on which the house sub- committee on appropriations will work in framing the navy appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1922. Dewey Statue For Manila Approved. Manila—The Dewey memorial com- mittee decided upon erection of a sta- tue to cost $200,000 as a monument to Admiral Dewey, on the shore of mame ly
