German political leaders.
In 1871, at the time of the peace

Favre, annoyed, slightly raised his
voice: Bismarck then began to speak
in German, although he was perfect
ly aware that Favre did not know
n word of German. When some
wonder was manifested at his be-
havior, the chancellor declared that
there was no need for him to behave
more politely than the French plen-
ipotentiaries did. When asked what
attitude Germany would adopt in
case of a French refusal to sign the
treaty. Bismarck replied:

forts. The armistice is not likely to

Franklin Is Father
of American Broom

Chicago. H., May .. - Memorial
observance of the one hundred and
twenty ninth anniversary of the
death of Benjamin Franklin by pa
triotic societies has brought to light
the fact that every housewife in the
United States is indebted to him.
Franklin was born January Il, l'Vo'
and died April Il, 1890.
Aside from his discovery of the
lightning rod. his printing press ac-
tivities, his service in helping to OBJ
tain French aid in the Revolution,
and his general diplomacy and phil
osophy, it develops that he is also
the father of the American broom.
Broom corn is a native of India,
which country for many years fur
nished the worlds supply of fine
brooms. According to records in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Franklin was examining
broom from India one day in 1850,
and in one of the heads, or spears,
discovered a single seed.
Intelligent curiosity led him to
bottle the lightning, and the same
studious bent led him to plant that
single seed and produce a single
stalk of broom corn from which
many seeds were obtained. To
l'ranklin's single seed. the millions
of brooms made annually in the
United States to-day trace their ori-
gin.

proves one of them. Since they were
here in March the band has been as
far west as st. Louis and has ap-
peared in many of the larger cltles
S;< the East. Everywhere 1t mas
scored a huge success with its rapid
fire programs and unusual perform

Opera House, once the home ot
naughty thousand-a dollar-nisnt

ion was that there ought to be law
to keep this band intact season atter
