MISSING Commas.

Many instances might be furnished
of the results Of lack of care by
writer's in punctuating their work.
This is a sentence to be found in one
of Lucas Cleeve's novels: ION a sofa,
stretched out like a lay figure. Lady
Castlemere reclined, with faded In
dian shawl thrown over her lower
limbs, which had been the gift of the
queen on her wedding day"
There is nursery rhine which often
puzzles youngsters until it is read with
the pauses in the right places:
Every lady in the land
Has twenty nails upon each hand
Five and twenty on hands and feet;
This is true without deceit.

Man the Hypocrite.

Man is poor, weak biological speci-
men. He spends his life making good
resolutions and formulating strict eth
zeal codes for the guidance Of himself
and his fellows. These ethical codes,
consisting in the main of restrictions
upon his pleasure, he shouts from the
housetops in the most public manner
possible.
Hardly does he utter them, however,
than he sets about in surreptitous ways
to disregard them. Such is man. 1t is
not SO much that he leadeth a double
life, but that he leadeth a single hypo-
critical life.-Life.

BADGER GAME" USED
ON Interstate ROADS
Charge Alluring Women Operating
With Male Companions Fleeced
Male Travellers.

New York, Sept. 2S.-A blackmail-
ing scheme reported to be in operation
on railroads crossing state lines, by
which attractive women are said to
be swindling wealthy male travellers
with the aid of male confederates is
being investigated by special agents
from the department of Juice, was
disclosed here today.
Information was sent Anonymously
to John C. Knox assistant United
States district attorney in charge of
the Matchmaking scheme cases. The
informant told Mr.. Knox that while
travelling recently from Portland
Maine to St. Louis, he was tapped by
one of the women whom he after
wards learned to be one of the gang
and that he also learned from a Pull
man porter that a "badger game" was
being played by women regularly on
that line.

Chamber of Commerce AL
ready Assured of 1920,
and Work Not Ended Yet.
MANY LOCAL MEN
JOIN ORGANIZATION
Enthusiasm Well Sustained and Men,
bers Of All Squads Confident Fund
Of $4,000 Annually for Three
Years Will BE Obtained.

Despite the fact that yesterday was
an important Jewish holiday, and the
further fact that it rained heavily
during the forenoon, the campaigners
in behalf of the chamber of commerce
had a successful day, bringing in 50
additional members and pledges ag-
gregating $1,511, which makes the
grand total of members already OBJ
tanned PIP, and the grand total of
pledges to $6,2C4 for each Of the next
three years.
At the luncheon last evening, at
the Hotel Pines, when the workers
made their reports, there was con-
tinuance of the enthusiasm which: has
prevailed since the campaign started,
and if possible, the optimism was ev-
en- more deeply seated, principally
due to the fact that about fifty per
cent of the members obtained yes
terday are actually new members to
the organization.
Yesterdays activities resulted in
General Taylor's squad bringing in
81 members and 1914 in pledges, these
divided among the squads as follows:
Captain Louthan. 90 members, 1856 !;
Captain Richey, seven members, $19l
Captain Matthews, ten members, $2S7
General Trulock's forces returned
Is members and pledges aggresatlns
$667, divided among the several
squads as follows: Captain Wood
ward, nine members and 1896; Cap
tain Selligman, four members and
$50; Captain Simon Bloom, five mem
bers and $412.
Each of the two teams has now a
credit for 106 members of the organ
ization. The teams will continue
their campaign today, but there will
not be any conference and luncheon
at the Pines this evening. The work
ers have yet to call upon five or SIX
of the big wholesale houses, several
manufhctult ling plants and quite a
number of old and staunch members
of the organization. Only one of the
banks has signed up, the others
awaiting action by their directors
Tuesday. After the banks act Tues
day, final reports will be made OF the
campaign, which will then be closed.
The feeling is strong among the
workers that the goal of $4,000 pei
year for three years will be reached
by that time, and that the chamber VI
commerce will thus be amply armed
for the strenuous work which it has
planned to carry out in the near tu-
ture for the benefit of the city ane

Richard Olney's criticism of Chas. e.
Hughes and his campaign was an
swered today by Mr.. Hughes, in
speech before the Republican state
convention, which repeatedly brought
the delegates to their feet

tary Of state said in substance that

The record of the administration in
connection with the Adamson law
'was a record of humiliation" said
I Mr. Hughes. He read from docu-
ments to uphold his contention that
instead of facing "a sudden crisis,
with no opportunity for inquiry" the
administration had been besought by
American firms-3,0OO firms and cor
| pOrations-to make an inquiry a
month before the crisis.

Athens, Greece, Sept. 81. via Lon

Later in the day it developed that

Hongkong, Sept. 15.-Canton is il a

leaders who claim they are operating
through patriotic motives. Cholera

General Lung Chi-kuang, who was
military governor Of Canton before Ii

named by Ii Yuan-hung to hold the
same office. However, the opposi-
ton of the extreme republicans to
General Lung Chi-kuang was sc
strong that President Ii Yuan-hune

BANKERS ASKED
TO INVESTIGATE
CATTLE INDUSTRY
Continued from page one.)

the banks of the financial centers,
which objected to the ABSORPTION by
the reserve banks of the supply of
bank acceptances; from the small
banks in the more remote districts,
with complain; that the requirements,
for the eligible paper are too strict;
and from the member banks generally
protesting against an enforced invest
ment which carried no immediate
prospects of dividends and on re-
serve deposits on which no interest
is paid. To all these DIRECTORS he
pointed out that conditions for two
years past have been abnormal and
furnished no evidence of what the re-
serve system could do, but that much
had already been accomplished. Bank
acceptances for the first time have
been made possible as credit instru-
ments in connection witr the import
and export of merchandise. the dol
lar credit is making its way in South
America and in the Orient, and ma
tional banks are opening branches =
foreign countries.
Praises Reserve Act.
"The federal reserve act" he said,
"has made the financial organization
of this country possible, and the pre-
liminary steps, to that end have al
ready been taken. This, to my mind,
is the great reason why the bankers
should work with the act and not
against it; should try to make it sue
coed instead of pointing out defects
which might cause it to fail, for in do
ing so, they will have not only
ret, o%h ho 1o, o1y hV1f
will have also strengthened the ma
tion.'
With respect to the federal farm
loan act, Mr.. Lynch declared that
while the end sought was sociological,
an endeavor to stem the drift of pop
ulation to the cities, lower rates OF
interest and greater facilities for get
ting into debt would not of them
selves serve to accomplish this result.
"'The men who have the most init
mate experience with farm conditions
generally believe that borrowing is
already too easy for the farmer" he
said.
Touching on the European war, the
great flotation of foreign loans here
and the enormous inflow of gold. Mr..
| Lynch said:
eve may expect that as soon as the
| war is over and the normal imports
! of merchandise are resumed the ex-
| cess of gold will leave us, and this
will be by no means an evil. The
surplusage of gold and the lOaning
power set free by the federal reserve
act together are likely to cause a
credit expansion which will need
| careful supervision by our bankers,
| to the end that the corresponding
contraction does not find us UMPIRE
| pared. The control of both the ex-
port and the import of gold should
be guided by the federal reserve
board, which was intended to perform
| this function and which has the pow
er necessary to stabilize exchange
| thru this MEANS
