or cigarette papers, said license to be
procured from the state dairy and
food department. 1t makes lawful the
sale of cigarettes and the "makins"
to anybody over eighteen years old.
and contains drastic punishment fea-
lures for such sales to school boys or
any one else under eighteen, with in
junction to issue against premises in
which such cigarette supplies may be
sold illegally. The bill was amended
with view to killing it, and was
opposed strongly by Senator Proud
foot OF Warren county, but most
amendments went into the bill and
still it remained alive, and on the
final vote passed, 80 to 10. The bill
now goes to the House, where dead
ly enemies are said to be waiting for
it, with amendments and motions and
gas attacks galore. We are told that
the INDUCTION feature of the bill will
be fought hard In the house on the
ground that 1t is wrong to hold own
ers OF buildings for law violations of
which they know nothing and have no
notice. Advocates Of the bill point
out that cigarettes are sold now In
discriminatory to boys and men, and
that the old law has no teeth in 1t. ;"
Senator Rule believes this new law
will have enough teeth in it to make
enforcement possible, and to keep Ii
censed dealers watching the unlicens-
ed dealers and thus preventing the
sale OF cigarettes to minors.
It is not to be disputed that right
now in Des iMoines cigarettes are sold
in hundreds Of places regardless Of
the law.
The bill by Representative Dean Of
Osceola county is coming to bat this
week, and II passed it will require
that nothing but the English Ian
guage be used in the schools of Iowa
in the future for instruction of pupils
up to the eighth grade, and the act
applies to public and private schools
in this state. Foreign language may
be taught in high schools and col
leges, but cannot be used for the pur-
poses of elementary instruction Of pu-
pills. The bill is favorably reported
out for passage, and the chances are
said to be that it will not be opposed
though it may be amended, on the
floor.
Representative Klaus OF Delaware
county got favorable report from

HOT SPRINGS <: MINER HAD
 HARD LUCK

William Wagner of Hot Springs, who recently returned to Alaska from Lorraine, has had a very exciting time since leaving Alaska several years ago, and went through trying expert ence during the war. Mr. Wagner's wife is a resident of Lorraine, and he went back to the old country to see her, and was interned during the war by the Germans. He says he had no complaint to make over the way he was treated, being interned in a Ger man camp for while, and later pa roled and allowed to buy home for himself and wife, but the low rations and lack of food were too much for him, and he tried to escape, but was caught in the city of Cologne while making for the Holland border He was returned unpunished, but on mak- ing a later attempt he was captured and taken to the German fortsess of Metz and tried before a military tri- bunal. He was sentenced to death by the tribunal, but the judge advocate of the court was the German count who visited this district some years ago and killed an Indian in the Kus- kokWim district, and before signing the death warrant of MT. Wagner the count questioned him, and finding that he knew the various landmarks in this region, and that his statements there fore were undoubtedly true, the sen tence was not carried out. Mir. Wag- ner remained a prisoner until the armistice was signed, and he says no one was any gladder to see the Ameri- can troops enter Germany than he was. When he entered Lorraine he weighed ITO pounds, and when the armistice was signed~he weighed only the Americans arrived MT. Wagner was in good, and was given permis- sion to travel over France and Ger many, taking in all the various battle fields. His passport is signed by Gen Pershing himself. Finally Mr. Wagner managed to get away from the other side on a transport bringing back troops, but was unable at that time to bring his wife with him.
 During his absence word had been received that MT. Wagner was serv- ing on a German submarine, he hay ing marine engineers license, and on the declaration of war against Ger many by the United States all his property was seized by the alien prop erty custodian, including a sum of money in the First National Bank at Fairbanks. MT. Wagner is now talk ing steps to recover this money and the rest of his property, by proving that he never was an enemy alien. He will confer with District Attorney Roth and take whatever steps are necessary.

Skirts to Be Tighter
This Falkland SKINNER

NEW YORK, July 16.-Skirts will
be shorter this fall, even If the peck
cts have to be moved north.
Tighter or skinnier-much, much
SKINNER.
The dress fabric buyers, meeting
here, are one in saying it has to be
done, for there isn't going to be
enough cloth to go round. If some one
insists on eight-yard scenery, they
say, somebody else must stay home.
And all this because:
1. The silkworms have Joined the
Bolsheviki.
2. Planters are growing watermel-
ons, or something, instead Of cotton.
g. Woolly lambs are breaking alti-
tude records.
4. He who tolls is getting to be an
uncertain commodity.
But this only scratches the surface
for it was flatly predicted by manu-
facturers there will not be enough ma.
terial for five years. Fur men here
for the annual 100000 auction are
less pessimistic. fortunately. The fur
market is strong, they say. with ev.
erything from weasels to silver foxes
in demand.

by the fairly large Georgia crop. The
prices, although starting higher than
for the same varieties last year. have
not differed greatly from last years
general range. but the tendency has
been toward a higher average level
than any other of the three preceding
years except 1917. The range Is
little lower than the prevailing prices
Of 1917 and a little above the general
renge Of 1916.
Early kinds this season have sold
to the jobbing trade in leading markets
$1.25Q3.75 per six basket carrier. or
bushel basket, opening at the top
price and declining gradually to an
average of about 50. Midseason kinds,
like Carmans, average about $2@3 for
sales to the jobbing trade in late June
and July, and Hileys s2.50@3.50. Early
range Of Elbertas was slightly above
that for Hileys.
Last year the early low point was
$1.5002.50 for jobbing sales. and high
point late In July was $32504 for FL
bertas. In 1917 the start was $2.6OV
$3.50, and the market did not drop be-
low 50 at any time, but reached top OF
81. The 1919 jobbing range, although
that was not a heavy crop year, rang
ed the lowest of the past four seasons,
opening at $1.75 Q2.75, touching the
lowest range at $1@250 in July, and
at no time exceeding $3.50.

Editors Note: This summary OF con-
ditlons in one of the most important
fruit crops of the United States is from
the Cincinnati Enquirer. and appeared
In the issue OF that paper for July III
The prospective commercial peach
crop Of 30,0S2000 bushels forecasted
July 8, by Bureaue of Crop Estimates,
appears liberal beside the very light
crop Of 100000 to 100000 last
year, but the present crop is moderate
when compared with those of recent
years. says the Bureau OF Markets.
Probable shipments appear more linn
tied when 1t is considered that fully
half the crop, or over 100000 bush
els, is credited to California.
Nearly 80 percent OF the California
crop is commonly used for drying and
canning, which would leave only about
$500 cars to be shipped as fresh fruit.
Actual shipments may equal 1000. In
previous years the California crop has
not been over one-third the total.
Georgia, the leading Southeastern
producing section, according to early
indications. will ship about 7.700 cars,
including 5000 cars Of Elbertas, com
pared with S,40o last years totals. Ar.
