C.—Farm labor ts relatively plentiful this year, as shown by reports to the department of agri- culture. This situation, it was de- clared, contrasts with a year ago, when the labor supply was far below the demand. Wages this year, according to the reports, show a reduction. Illinois, Michigan and Indiana reported farm hands plentiful, although wages were higher than farmers are willing to pay. New England reported the farm labor supply more plentiful and wages lower, ranging from around $40 to $60 a month for single men, with board. The demand for hands in Washing ton state was said to be limited now to calls for experienced help. Wages for single men were quoted at approxi- mately $50 a month, as compared with $80 last year. Kansas reported the supply plentiful, while in Maryland wages are about 30 per cent lower. Reports from the southern states describe labor as plentiful and wages lower. Nebraska said labor was being hired at from 30 to 50 per cent less wages than last year, or from $35 to $45 a month, with board BRIEF GENERAL NEWS Difficulty is being encountered by the war department in getting ex-serv- lee men to take victory medals. James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore and senior prelate of the Catholic church in the United States, died at his home in Baltimore. | President Harding telegraphed to | the New York American committee for relief in Ireland his indorsement of the | campaign to raise more than $10,000,- 000. Oregon's road-building program for the present year, although not yet definitely outlined by the state high- way commission, will entail expendi- tures aggregating at least $12,000,000. Unattended and without the knowl: edge of the public, Bugene V. Debs, imprisoned socialist leader, came to Washington from Atlanta penitentiary =| and for three hours discussed his case with Attorney-General Daugherty. One hundred and forty-four indict- ments naming eighteen men were re turned by the Cook county grand jury as a result of the second investigation into the alleged throwing of the 1919 world series to Cincinnati by Chicago White Sox players. Plans for a giant corporation to develop the canning industry of Wash- ington and Oregon with a capital of | at least $10,000,000 were considered by a group of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma capitalists and business men at a meeting held in Seattle. Million in Bonus Money Distributed. Olympia, Wash.—Over $1,000,000 in bonus money has been paid 4238 ex- service men during the ten days since the money has been available, accord ing to figures given out by State Auditor C. W. Clausen. Parachute Leaper Drops 24,400 Feet. Champaign, Ill—A new world’s rec- ord for the parachute leap was estab- lished when Lieutenant A. G.

PEACE RESOLUTION MAY BE PRESENTED President Holds Number of | Important Conferences at White House. Washington, D. C.—Senate propon- ents of an immediate peace with Ger- many by congressional resolution are | understood to be standing firmly by their intention to present such a reso- | lution promptly on the convening of | the extra session of congress. This information was obtained after White House conferences, at which the advisability of a congressional dec- laration of peace, together with other questions involved, were understood to have been discussed. Whether the intention of peace-by- resolution senators has been approved by President Harding and whether it has the support of senators generally, were matters on which no informa- tion was available. The conferences were generally con- sidered in the bearing on international alfairs as probably as the most im- portant that President Harding has | held since his inauguration. Senator Knox, ex-secretary of state jand author of the republican peace resolution; Colonel George Harvey of New York selected as ambassador to Great Britain; Myron T. Merrick of Ohio, understood to be under consid- eration for arabassador to France, and Stephane Lauzanne, French journal- ist, who came to America with ex- Premier Viviani, were among those whom the president saw. By inference the developments were coupled with the visit of M. Viviani. Gossip about his mission persistently has suggested that he is supposed to persuade the administration not to push its peach declaration, but rather to consider on what basis it might ac- cept the Versailles treaty. GROSS DEBT OF U. S. 1S REDUCED Washington, D.. C.—The nation’s debt was reduced $71,580,330 in March, according to a treasury statement which showed the debt to be $23,980,- 140,397. Of the total federa! obligations outstanding $2,754,841,000 represents short term treasury certificates of in- | debtedness, several hundred million of which Secretary Mellon has sald will | be retired in April. An analysis of the treasury’s fiscal affairs for the last year reveals little | change in the amount of certificates | of indebtedness or the floating debt. The gross debt, however, consisting largely of liberty bonds and victory notes, has shown a decrease. Certificates of standing March 31, 1920, totaled $2,- 667,220,000, less than $100,000,000 be- low the present total. | RAILROADS PAY BILLIONS | 1920 Wages to Men Totaled by inter state Commission.

This is because the full, rich, real tobacco taste lasts so long, you don’t need a fresh chew nearly as often. And a small chew gives more real satisfaction than a big chew of the ordinary kind ever did. Any man who uses the Real Tobacco Chew will tell you that.

During these years we have carried other make of tires but none have given such all around, year in and year out, general satisfaction as the Lee lines. We believe that no business establishment, sincerely interested in its patrons’ welfare and ever striving to obtain best possible results for them, can carry two or more lines of the same class of merchandise selling at the same price, without a knowledge of superiority of one over the other. Is one honest to his patrons who sells against his own best knowledge ? We have discontinued all other lines of tires, believing that all are good but the Lee tries are the best on the market today and will stand back of each and every one with our personal guarantee SOUTH & FRICK AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIES Automobile Electricians | Automobile Mechanics
