 In order to get the best possible re- suits in corn raising, one hundred and fifty patriotic citizens employed a corn expert to act as an adviser to the farmers at salary of $500 a year, making him one of the highest, if not the highest salaried expert of his kind in the country. He is Sam M. Jordan, formerly of Sedalia. Jordan is an authority on farming in general.

WAR SHORTENS FRENCH DRESS
(By United Press.)


 Prais, Sept. 5 (By Mail. )-War re- strictions invariably arouse protests, but the one limiting wooden material for women's dresses to four and a half metres (about five yards) has been ac- cepted without murmur-even with alacrity. This measure was readily accepted by the dressmakers' svndi- cate when the government pointed out it's advisability.
 The tendency of fashions had been towards ever ampler proportions of skirts. Since the war skirts under went shortening process. The oues- tion was whether the fashion of ample skirts should continue and the quality of the material dteriorate, or whether a radical change of style be intro duced. The dressmakers' syndicate preferred the latter alternative. ex- blaming to their clients that is is essential for the prestige of French fashions that no concession be made to the quality of material for tailor made clothes in order to preserve the Iimpeccable line which is so essential
 One. of the chief considerations. so the leading Paris tailors declare. is American custom, which would fall off if it were found that Paris clothes were of inferior material.
 The restriction only applies to ma terials containing wool, so that for evening gowns and indoor dresses, of non-woolen material, those who pre- fer flowing lines and full skirts will be able to indulge their fancy as be- fore.
 A striking contrast to the severe and simple tailor-made, which will prevail in outdoor places, will be the exotic toilettes which several of the big firms are about to launch for evening wear, some of which are direct copies of Chimes models.

Hundred Representative
Publishers Asked to Meet
Federal Trade Commission
By associated Press


Washington, Feb. 23.-More than
100 representative newspaper publish
ers were asked by the Federal Trade
Commission to come here early next
week for conferences regarding the
proposal of the paper manufacturers
that the commission fix prices for
news print paper.
Until the publishers are heard the
commission probably will not decide
whether to accept the manufacturers
suggestion. In the meantime Francis
j. Heney, conducting the commissions
news print paper investigation. is con-
ferring with manufacturers VINO did
not sign the proposal and it generally
is believed many more of them will
join the move and that the commits
sion then will agree to act.
Publishers invited to come here rep
resent every class of the business in
the country. Many of them print
small papers. hardest hit by the pres
ent high news print paper prices. Any
agreement fixing prices will carry with
it the stipulation that publishers limit
their paper uses to minimum, and
that point will be taken up particular
ly at next weeks conferences.
The print paper committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation held a meeting here last
night to consider the paper situation.
Their general attitude, it is under
stood, is toward cooperation with the
manufacturers and the trade COM
mission in any reasonable price fixing
plan.

David p. Baker Endorses Move
For Organization of Amer

David p. Baker. chairman of the
educational committee of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association, this morn
ing heartily endorsed a movement for
the organization of an Americaniza-
ton League for the education of the
foreign element of Steelton to Amer
lean ways. Mr.. Baker, who came to
this country from Russia fourteen
years ago, said he is in q position to
sympathize with the foreigner who
comes to this country unable to speak
English and not accustomed to the
ways and customs of Americans.
Mr.. Baker said. I'VE should have
AmericaniZation to create one solid
nation that should respect and honor
one country and one flag; whose in
terests should concentrate in only one
ambition and that is to be petriotic."
In order to bring this about 1t is es-

eigners who are at present making up
a large percentage of the population.
THE alien should be shown the SUI

by way of making more money but
impressing their minds and teaching
them how our country is superior in
liberty, freedom of speech. freedom of
press and freedom i'm politics and
progress and schools and municipal
work.
SHOW them the good side of Amer
lean life said, he. Instead of
crowding them into tenement houses
where everything but healthy condi-
tions exist, teach them how to live
properly. All these things could be
given foreigners through a league,
such as suggested in the Telegraph
several days ago.
I'm order to form an organization
OF this kind the cooperation of the
entire community is needed and there
should be no time lost in joining hands
in the move" Mr.. Baker concluded,
