WORK TIRED THE PRESIDENT
ference, However, Showed Abil-
ity To Look After Business.

Washington.-Whil President VIII
son was able to formulate message
to Secretary Lane for transmission &c
the national industrial conference, nc
effort was made either by Rear Ad-
miral Grayson. his physician. or by
white house officials to create the inn
preston that the actin was indica.
tive of a decided improvement in the
presidents condition.
Writing OF the message. however,
was pointed TO by members OF the
white house staff as further refuting
reports that Mr.. Wilson was unable tc
transact any necessary business that
might require his attention as chief
executive. The situation confronting
the national industrial conference or
which may face il. at any time through
danger OF its dissolution was consid.
cred as constituting such a necessity.

LIMIT IS PLACED
ON SUGAR PRICES
ATTORNEY GENERAL WARNS RE-
TIMERS TEN CENTS SHALL
NOT BE EXCEEDED.
INVESTIGATION WAS MADE
Beet Sugar Producers Have Been Hold
ing Their Product OFF the Mar
ket, But Must Now Sell At
Fixed Price.

Washington.-Steps to prevent an
abnormal increase in the price of sugar
because of the existing shortage were
taken by the department of Justice.
Attorney General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners, who have been with
holding their products from the mar
ket until the price situation became
more stabilized, that the United States
sugar equalization board had deter
mined 10 cents was a fair price to be
charged the wholesaler and that any
charge in excess of that amount would
be regarded as in violation Of the food
control act
Refiners were asked to telegraph
thoi concurrence in this price. which
would mean they would put their sup
ply on the market Immediately, there
by relieving the present stringency.
Attorney General Palmer made pub
lie the following telegram sent to the
beet sugar refiners:
After thorough investigation by the
recognized authorities on sugar, the
United States sugar equalization board
have notified the department of justice
OF the following facts:
las a considerable part of the coun-
try generally supplied at this time of
the year with beet sugar may be en-
barrassed because of the beet sugar
factories failure to sell beet sugar as
produced, and this condition in turn
is due TO the uncertainty regarding
price. our judgment is that no higher
price than 10 cents cash less per cent
seaboard basis is justified and we hope
that you will decide at once to begin
marketing your sugar on this basis and
relieve the very serious situation.
1.-The price of 1912 cents cash f. o. b.
plant, which has been offered by the
sugar equalization board for sugars in
excess Of requirements in your terri
tory as shown by your 1917 deliveries
as a minimum up to 1000 tons for No
vember and December shipments to re-
lieve acute shortage among the manu-
facturers east, is not to be considered
a precedent or basis for local prices
81 ask you TO make your announce
ment of prices based on the above. The
department of justice will treat as an
unjust charge any price in excess of
this, and consider such a charge. yio-

"Encroachments" of the

Chicago-The first organized step

on exclusive residence streets was
taken by 200 wealthy property hold
ers of Grand boulevard. They formed
an association and pledged $4,000 to
fight the negroes. Negroes already in
the neighborhood were warned they
must leave and real estate men were
told they must not deal with negroes
Strong feeling was expressed at the
meeting. John p Bowles, treasurer
of the Grand Boulevard association,
warned the negroes they must evacu-
ate the territory.
"The blacks are going to give Us
lot of talk, but they'll not bluff u.s.
he said Il want to tell you people
that there will not be an insurance
company that will care TO take a risk

on the floor. said:

The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the country it is well
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort of corn that a
fellow can bank on for a good stand
and big yields.
But 1T takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy. Some other job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at. You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn to
speak of.
All rights your business. But
think ahead little. Imagine that 1t is
the spring of 1921. The year 1920, say.
was a poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is fit to
plant. The busy spring season is at
its busiest. A score of things are call
ing to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has crib of old corn.
Probably you fail to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody 'sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste of time connected with
the process, isn't there? After you
get it, perhaps it is unadapted to your
locality and yields poor crop Of inn
mature corn.
Save for Two Years.
This is one of the reasons why the
corn experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture urge farmers
to select out of this years crop enough
seed corn to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larry in the northern portion of the
United States, has time not TO do ii.
Still, the mere saving of time is not
the only reason. BY getting two or
three years supply of seed corn out OF

Pittsburgh-Steels strikers will carry

Mr.. Rubin informed the court that
for purposes of the present strike the

Where Every Day Counts.
The sowing of seed corn from crop
of the right kind is a matter OF impor-
lance everywhere. but more particular
ly so in the northern portion OF the
country. That is where the vicisSitudes
of the seasons are most likely to bring
about soft crop. There. also, low vi
tality means the heaviest handicap.
The South. with its ng-growing sea-
son, might sometimes afford a corn
crop that gets away to slow start.
but in the North every day counts

ground until the crop is safely har-

CAPTAIN MILSTEAD'S SQUAD OF
ASPIRING YOUNGSTERS HOPE TO
UPSET DOPE FAVORINC EX-STARS

Kimmel was still uncertain as to
who would start the game. He
announced, however, that ell who
had reported regularly at practice
would get a chance to show some
thing. Captain Milstead will play
his position aG left tackle. Mil
stead is going better than ever this
year and should be the chief factor
in making the team a success.
Henke will play the other tackle.
He is one of last years ends and
has showed up at tackle to good
advantage. DOMAIN probably will
start at center. He is a fast man
and played the position on the sec
ond team last year. For guards
Kimmel can select from Campbell,
Anderson and Stewart. The first
two men are new at the game, but
have grit to balance lack of expert
ence. Stewart was a sub last year.
The ends will be picked from
Schmidt, Parks and Ohlweiler. All
of these men are new, but are fast
on their feet and have the ability
to get down under punts and
passes.
IN the backfeld there is conjec-
ture. Duffln will start at quarter,
where he has shown some form and
speed. wis" also has the knack
of picking out the right plays at
the right time. Ernie Blankenburg
will, perhaps, start at fullback.
Olson probably will hold down one
half. He is one of the fastest backs
around here. and in addition can
hit the line and punt to perfection
There is a wide choice of material
for the other half. Either c. Blank
enburg. Giles or Herbert will
start. Although all of these men
are new at the game, but few have
class.
