American Industrial Commission Was

New York, Oct. 30.-Business in,
terests of France are anxious to do
everything in their power to promote
trade relations with the United States
and are ready to consider any pro-
posals which might be made from
this side, according to a report made
by members of the American Indus
trial Commission, who arrived here
on the steamship Philadelphia, fol-
lowing a two months visit made in
France.
The commission was organized I'M
der the auspices of the American
Manufacturers Export Association, to
return a visit of a like commission of
French interests made to the United
States last winter. The member

made up of officials of leading man

sARDINIA's SAINTS DAYS
Each Village Has Its Annual Festival,
When It Celebrates the Birthday
of Its Patron.

Each ''pease" or village of Sardinia
has its annual festival to celebrate
the birthday of its own particular
saint or some other church feast. The
most renowned of these is the fiesta"
of saint Efsid," the national feast of
the island. The ceremony is in the
form of a procession from Cagliari, the
chief city of Pula, a village nine miles
away, with the return to Cagliari. The
saint was an official in the army Of
Diacletian, and for his conversion to
Christianity was beheaded at Pula.
At midday on May l the procession
leaves and returns on the evening Of
May 4. 1t is composed of a cavalcade
of horsemen, all in the costume of the
ancient Sandman militia, escorting the
image Of the saint, which is preceded
by musicians playing the l%auneddas, an
instrument made Of three or four reeds
of different lengths and resembling the
pipe Of ancient times.

HARD TIMES AHEAD OF US
JUDGE GARY SAYS AMERICANS
FACE DISASTER.
Purchasing Power of the World Will
Be Reduced Steel Con-
Vention Is Told.

st. Louis, Mo.-Judge Ebert E.
Gary of the United States Steel Cor
poration, and president of the Ameri-
can Steel Institute, opened the first
session of that body in convention
at the Planters Hotel here. In his
address to the 800 manufacturers,
Judge Gary urged the necessity for
a protective tariff and the friendship
of the Orient, If the nation is to hold
its trade materially.
Il firmly believe that if the pres
ent unprotective tariff laws remain
unchanged" he said, lin concluding
his talk, 1--WE probably shall meet with
competition from foreign sources af-
ter the war closes which will advers-
ly, and perhaps disasterously, affect
American industry and also American
labor.
Conditions will be even worse than
they were between Oct. 1, 1918 and
the beginning of the war. If the laws
shall be amended and adequate pro-
lection to American producers and
their workmen is afforded, we may
expect satisfactory business condi-
tons for some time to come.
with large bank balances we are
independent and secure; with large
Indebtedness to the banks which we
could not readily pay, we would be
in danger of bankruptcy, depending
upon future business conditions. All
this We know by the experiences of
the past. AS we cannot read the
future we should exercise cautu
and be prepared for unfayorable
changes.
Whenever the war shall close, the
business Of this country will be con-
fronted with new conditions. The
purchasing power of the whole world
will have been very greatly reduced.
Foreign countries who are now buy
ing u products, because compelled,
will withdraw their patronage in a
large measure. Other non-producing
countries will find their financial re-
sources and their credits lessened.
More than this, foreign producers, in
great need, will strive more diligent-
ly than ever to supply the countries
that are financially able to pay and
at prices based upon cheap labor and
low cost, as they have a perfect right
to do"

LINER ATTIRE At SEA
SAID TO BE MAKING FOR FAYAL,
AZoRES-FLAMES IN HOLD.
French Steamer Was Due to Reach
United States Port on No.
vember, I.

New York, N. Y.-The Maritime
Exchange has received a message re-
porting that the French liner Chicago
was afire at sea, and was speeding
toward Fayal, one of the islands of
the Azores group.
steamer Chicago, French, bound
from Bordeaux to New York, fire in
No. 8 hold" read the message. Eek
poets to arrive at Fayal today"
The Chicago left Bordeaux Sunday,
for New York, and should have been
several hundred miles west and north
of the Azores. Under ordinary con-
ditions she carried $50 to 300 pas
sengers on her western trip.
Officers of the French line reiter-
ated that they had no confirmation
of the report that the liner was on
fire.
The Chicago was due here next
Monday or Tuesday. She is a $4,000
ton steamer commanded by Capt.
Mace.
The Chicago, owned by the Com
pagnie Generate Transatlantique, was

Pensions Paid While Money Lasts.

The facts in the controversy be-
tween members of the state admins
tration and the Republicans wei pen
sions to the Confederate veterans APP
pears to be as follows:
All of the money actually appropri-
ated by the legislature for Confeder-
ate pensions has been paid. State
officials are prohibited by law from
paying out money not appropriated
by the legislature.
Tbs legislature of 1918 passed a law
approved by Governor Major, to PEN
sion Confederate veterans at $40 a
month. AS there are about 1900 vet
Grams in the state entitled to pen
sions, under the law it would require
about $180,000 thousand a year to
meet the requirements of the law.
Under the policy of secrecy main
tanned by the administration, it is i'm
possible to find out just how much the
state is behind in the payment Of
these pensions. The statement Of Of
ficials of the administration, and Of
Frederick d. Gardner, Democratic can
didate for governor, that all the money
appropriated for these pensions has
been paid out is true, but the Repub-
lican charge that the state is behind
with the pension is also true.

London, England.-The war is de-
clared to threaten soon to become a
struggle between mere boys. The
pace is said to be entirely too fast
for the older men to endure.
Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, commanding
the British expeditionary forces, is
said to have objected to the sending
out Of middle age men. He wants
young men of from 18 to rs.
The good soldier Of today, is seems,

England is already registering the
boys Of II, preparatory to calling
them up when they attain their 18th

Live Stock MAN speaks.

Rudolph M. Patterson, a member
of the state board of live stock COM
mission from Chicago Heights, Cook
county, addressed the Monroe County
Farmers Institute. Patterson's sub
ject was "the Prevention of Foot-and-
Mouth Disease, Hog Cholera and other
Animal Diseases"
The difference between farming
now and rs years ago when Patterson
bought his first farm in Illinois is
pointed out by the speaker. Patter-
son said that every year brough i'm
provements both In method Of farm
ing and in the comforts for the fam
lily.
High-grade stock at a slightly in
creased cost was Patterson's recon-
mendation over cheap stock at a low
price. He said that this was particu-
larry true in dairying. Patterson told
the members of the institute that
sanitation was one of the greatest
problems of the farmer today.

Hunting is Good.

The recent cool weather changes
very materially added to the joys of
the duck hunters in this state. The
stormy weather at the end of the
previous week brought with it a big
flight of waterfowl. Wherever there
was suitable attraction the big flocks
of migratory birds were in evidence.
A great number of hunters were
afield when the birds arrived, and
many secured the legal bag limit of
ducks, while others Jagged the limit
Of jacksnipe. Quite a few plover
were also killed, and several sports
men killed golden plover, which va
riety is now very scarce and seldom
seen in this locality.

Der of Commerce, counted the vehi-

way. The worst roads Of the return
trip were encountered in Missouri, he
said.
Gov. Major has long made good
roads a hobby, and it is well known
that many thousands of miles Of high
ways have been improved under his
guiding hand. Frank Buffum of Han
nibal has also been active in this
propaganda and every effort has been
made to improve their condition.
