Mr, Wallace's appointment was ar- He is preparing his business affairs so ranged for in the last few days, that he may leave for Washington in March, Curiously enough, Mr. Wallace will succeed his friend and neighbor, Edwin ‘T. Meredith, the present Secretary of Agriculture, who is also an editor and publisher of a large farm publication, Successful Farming, and who also makes his home at Des Moines, Ia Mr. Wallace is a progressive Re- publican, one of the number who was intimately associated with the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt. He is a conservative-minded man, with a splendid grasp of farm problems, and even Democrats hereabouts who hail from Iowa say his selection will prob- ably please the agriculturists of the country AIDED IN PREPARING SPEECH ON AGRICULTURE. Senator Harding didn't now Mr. Wallace before the recent campaign He met him through Senator Capper of Kansas to whom Mr. Harding had written asking that somebody join him in the preparation of a speech on agricultural topics at the Minnesota State Fair. Mr. Wallace is credited with having furnished most of the data and information for the speech and any @ne who wants a cue as to agricultural policy under the Harding Administration can look up that speech.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 ASSAGE of the Soldiers’ Bonus Lill would cost the Goverament approximately $2,400,000,000, Secretary Houston estimated to- day in a statement to the Senate Finance Committee, consider- ing the soldiers’ aid measure. Mr. Houston said it was impossible to compute accurately the cost of each of the four optional aid plans. Land settlement provisions of the bill contain so many uncertainties that the cost entailed by them could only be guessed. Assuming that all of the men would select one of the four optional plans, Mr. Houston estimated the cost of each as follows: Adjusted service pay, $1,342,000.000. Insurance provisions, $4,534,000,000 Vocational training aid, $1,880,000,000 Farm and home development, $1,880,000,000. As the plans were optional, the Secretary said the choice of the men would not be confined to any one of them, and allowing for the various selections, he arrived at his total estimated coat of $2,300, 0,000, 000 CARUSO RESTING — |CONTRAGT-LABOR WELL TO-DAY; HAD | UNDER INQUIRY PLEURISY ATTACK ee Illne: Fifth Setback Tenor Has Suffered Within the Month. | Exposures ‘by Even Evening World) Cause Representative Raker | to Come to New York.
