Chicago, Aug. Isl. Ogden
Armour Friday wrote a. note OF
thanks to the Builders and Traders
exchange, whose members voted to
send him pair of shoes because he
recently said high prices had led him
to have his old ones repaired.
Mr.. Armour's letter, addressed to
a member of the exchange, was as
follows:
my dear Mr.. Sullivan: l learned
on reading this mornings paper OF
the inteption of the Builders and
TradersTExchange to send me a pair
of shoes. | am enclosing my ad-
dress, so that by no chance will the
shoes go astray. Your endorsement
of the principle of conservation is
much appreciated.
1T is fitting, however, that the
builders and traders show evidence
of their generosity Statesmen the
world over have regarded it good
business to spend few dollars for
theater tickets or some other enter
tainment for prospect on whom
they expect to wax fat.
when | peruse the bids, which
have been submitted by the builders
and traders on various building pro-
jects in which | am interested, and
when | note how high these bids are
I marvel that your generosity stops
at mere pair of shoes. 1t seems
to me that such a prospect as your
bids indicate me, to be deserving OF
more consideration. 1t is as though
you were asking me to the movies
when the circumstances warrant a
box at The Passing Show.
Instead of stopping with a pair
of shoes, why not present me with
wardrobe for a year? My wants
are very reasonable because | regard
clothes from a unitarian standpoint

H0ARDERS DESTROY RECORDS
NEGOTIATIONS ON
\ TREATY REACH
DEFINITE STAGE,
President and Foreign Rela-
tions Committee Getting
Together.

Washington, Aug. l5.-Negotia-
tions between democratic and repub-
lican senators looking to, ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty with feser-
vations reached more definite
stage Friday while President Wilson
and the Foreign Relations commit
tee were getting together on unpre-
cedented measures to give the pub
lie all the details of their discus
sion of the treaty next Tuesday at
the White House.
Democrat leaders, feeling out
sentiment on the republican side,
were told that the treaty never
could be ratified without qualifica-
ton but that more than 20 republi-
cans wanted to see it accepted in
the near future with reservations
along the line of those agreed on by
seven senators of that party some
days ago.
This informa ton came from mems
bers of the group of seven after
completion ola poll begun Wednes-
day on receipt ef the first demo-
cratic overtures. The 20, needed by
the democrats to make the neces-
sary ratification majority Of "a, had
not accepted the proposed reserva-
ton program in exact form, it was
asserted, but had given their assent
to its general provisions. =
Expect Democratic Assent.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock, the
democratic leader, went to the
White House and is understood to
have laid the whole senate situation
before the president. He made no
formal announcement after the con-
ference, but indicated that the ad-
ministration stand for unreserved
ratification remained unchanged
Some of the 7 reservation repub-
licans, however, insist that they have
had information assuring democratic
assent to their program.
Among the first proposed amend
merlts to come before the commit
tee when it takes up that subject
will be a series presented by Sena-
tor Fall, republican, New Mexico,
under which American representa-
ton would be eliminated from vari-
Gus international commissions which
are to administer reconstruction
measures in Europe.

message of the governor was:
"The state is willing and anxious
to cooperate with the federal food
administration in relieving the stua-
ton relative to the cost of food
products. Within week we shall
begin an investigation of the cost of
living, and it is desirable that you
reappoint all former county food ad-
ministrators so that their assistance
and cooperation may be had in car
rying on this inquiry"
Wattles Takes Action.
To which Mr.. Wattles responded:
Have notified all county food ad-
fninistrators to reappoint fair-price
committees and assist you and At

ent departments OF. the. state under
the new code law, complete in
vestigation of the cost Of living
will be made and the attorney gen.
eral will. be instructed to get busy as
soon as he returns from the funeral

Speaking of the matter today

lowing statement:
This will be accomplished
through the examination of wit
nesses. under authority that is
given to the secretaries of the de-
partments under the code, who will
be called to testify regarding costs
Of distributing the commodities that
may be claSsed as the necessities
of life. and the processes through
which trade and commerce are con-
Quoted.

"The attorney general will en-
ploy special counsel to assist in the
inve estigation, and an expert ac-
countant. will be employed and such
other help as is necessary to insure
the accuracy and completeness OF
the work that is being done.
The hearings will be open, and
will begin just as soon as an ade-
quate force can be gotten together
for carrying on the work. This will
probably be not later than the mid
die of the Forthcoming week. Hear
inks will be held in all parts of the
state, and it is again urged that any,
one having specific information
bearing upon this subject should
bring it to the attention of the sec

of all praise. But I have been
obliged to balance one set of dis
advantages against another and to
venture a Judgment as to which

try.
Country Needs Law.
The immediate and pressing neee
of the country is production, in

organization and dislocation caused
by the war have told nowhere SC
heavily as at the industrial centers
in manufacture and in the many
industries to which the country and
the whole world must look to sup
ply needs which cannot be ignored
or postponed,
1T is to these that the daylight
saving law is of most service. Il
ministers to economy and to eff.
cheney. And the interest of the far
mer is not in all reSDects seDaratet

Emergency Law is Apt to Stand
The attorney general has declared
that the emergency act, passed by
the special legislative session, to make
the new laws effective within ten days
after passage, is unconstitutional. The
matter will be threshed out in the SUI
preme court and an early decision il
expected. Sec. 81 Of the constitution
provides bills do not become law i'm
mediately, unless receiving two-thirds
vote of each body of the legislature,
but the new law would attempt to
ignore that provision Of the constitu-
ton on the grounds that the section
does not refer to special sessions, but
only to regular sessions.
\ In 1915, Staale Hendrickson intro
duced bill which became a law, pro-
yiding that it required a vote Of four
out Of five members Of the state SUI

Judges Grace and Bronson will decide
shat the recent law is declared con-

the law pertaining to presidential
electors is involved, the new emer-
