When Representative Fowler OF IL
linois arose the other day and in his
wail-like voice began Directing to
various items in the appropriation bill
that was up. Minority Leader Mann
and a few others saw that something
must be done with Fowler. He was
taking up too much time. 1t was de-
cided that Mann should be the one 10
head him off, and the scheme was to
try TO shame him. So the next time
Fowler said anything Mann got up
and pointed out the fact that Fowler
was consuming a vast amount of time
and that time in the house is paid for
out of the pockets of the common
people-the very people that Fowler
claims TO befriend. That stopped
Fowler only temporarily. II a mo-
ment he was objecting 10 a paragraph
which included an item to cover the
cost OF printing postage stamps.
| Whereupon Mann leaped to his feet
and made a speech in which he pic
tured the pathos of the common peo-
I pie with no postage stamps 10 enable
| them TO write letters TO loved ones at
a distance.
Now the whole point to our story
| is simply this: James r. Mann is the
only person. so far as can be learned,
who has ever succeeded in getting a
| heart throb out OF the printing or a
mess of postage stamps. Consider
able heart throbbist is the man who
| can do that.

WHEAT PRICE BOOSTED TO

Wheat prices were boosted five
cents in South Bend Saturday morn
ing. the farmer being paid $1.O5 by

For several days the price has been
unsteady following the drop two
weeks ago from $1.15. It is thought
that the price viii go up steadily now
as the drop and unsteadiness of the
past $50 weeks was due largely 10 the
fact that farmers were unloading
their holdings before winter and
grain dealers were unable to move
their purchases. Canadian com
peticn was also given as one cause of
tho decline.
Potatoes jumped up n notch on the
city market Saturday, the lowest
price being 90 cents. The demand
seemed TO be stronger as large
number OF South Bend housewives
seemed TO be putting in enough for
the winter. Retailers were also buy
ing on the market. The lowest gro

Wilson'S closing talk dealt with
community leadership and how a
Chamber OF Commerce can make a
city grow. Under this head he dwelt
on educational progress, city plan
ming, conventions and industrial pro-
motion. City planning came in for
the majority Of his remarks.
The absorption by a city of its sur
rounding realty for future utilization.
he held as one of the biggest assets
in its struggle for upward growth. At
this point he cited figures showing
the strides OF cities I'm population in
both the old and new world. At the
same ratio he predicted a population
of 100, goo for South Bend by the year
1925. IF this comes To pass and 1

Won men 20 offer these thousands of
men - Wilson asked. And then he
answered his own question thus. Not

lie attributes the cause of the high
cost OF living TO the drift cityward of
the cOuntry's population. His point
was that not enough human beings
are left on the farms TO supply the
demands of those Of the city.
Is Ata 1T Bonus.
Regarding the Subject OF industrial
promotion, he drew a round of APP
plause with this statement: 81 hope
your Chamber cf Commerce viii never
give a dollar of bonus TO get a fac
tory for your city" He held a factory
obtained through a bonus an unwise
business proposition and one that is
not desirable. Artificial Inducements
cause most OF the failures. he said.
Along the lines of educational prog
ress he said he hoped the time was
near when every boy could demand
education and get 1t along the lines
OF his natural ient
Conventions he held as the best ad-
vertising medium a city could boast
but that getting a convention only
half the task. The other half is up
