master at Alton thought out a plan

And will kindly consent
That | reach whom I'm sent
And waste baskets I'll leave far behind.

trusting that by this time the letter

CURRENCY FIGHT.
SH|F TED UPON
SENATE
Chairman Owen of Senate Com
mittee Agrees to Report Bills
Without Comment.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-Differ-
enccs Of opinion among the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee re-
gardiug the wisdom OF making a re-
port 10 the Senate outlining in detail
the purposes and merits Of currency
legislation were reconciIed at the
eleventh hour to-day. Chairman owen
waived his privileges as head Of the
committee and agreed to turn into the
Senate without extended comment the
House bill, together with the Owen
Democrat and Hitchcock Republican
amended drafts
Chairman owen had begun the
preparation Of q lengthy report, which
half OF the committee felt sure would
tend to emphasize the merits of a
bin TO which the Hitchcock Republi-
can faction has manifested It's strong
opposition. This faction favored a
simple report of the three drafts with
cut comment, other than the state
ment that the committee was unable
to agree
It was intimated that the course
laid out by Chairman owen would
lead to further delay. As a result,
the owen faction submitted a pro-
posal To turn the fight over to the
Senate without prejudice. This prop
osition was accepted Immediately by
the Hitchcock group.
All hope Of a mileage paying ad-
journment expired in Congress to-day
The steering committee Of the Sen
ate met to discuss the advisability of
calling Democratic conference on
currency legislation.

when Harvey Griswold sold his Ca
acre farm two miles south of Pine
Run for 500 per acre. Fred M.
Montague was the purchaser. Farms
nearer Clio have brought more than
this sum in the past but this is the
highest price ever paid in the vicin-

the Messenger can learn.
Another deal of more than ordi-
nary interest was the sale of the
Dwight N. Soper farm on the east
side of the village. The place con-
sisting of 38 acres brought $4,850,
the price paid by Charles Fulmer,
