The annual convention Of the
Amalgamated Profit Sharks decided
to change the spelling of their slo-
gan from "serve-us" to SERVICE" as
being more in keeping with the pres
ent-day spirit of camoufage, but
they left without changing their old
working rule of Nothing for moth
ing, and id little for two-bits.' ~
Their chairman asserted that out
side efforts to have this rule changed
were clearly bOlshevistic.

Faithful Frank Won Weinrich, the
experienced chairman of the board
of county commissioners of Roose-
welt county was in Plentywood a few
days since. He had, it is reported, a
long interview with J. F. Redmond

with the law firm of Babcock & Ell

Italy's Staggering War Bill.

Truly portentous is the balance sheet
just struck by Italy's minister of
finance. The capital represented by the
public debt amounts to S25,000,000, 5000,
as against about 81, 100000 in 1918.
This is an increase of nearly tenfold.
The interest on the consolidated funds
has increased from S70,740,000 to over
81 900, 600 600, a fourteenfold increase.
Evidently measures of the most drastic
sort will be required to prevent bank
ruptcy, and a heavy tax on war for
tunes is to be followed by capital tax
spread over a number of years. Italy
is not rich country, lacking coal and
iron and therefore at an industrial dis
advantage but before the war, at any
rate before the Tripoli adventure in
1912, its public finance was notably
sane and sound How it can stand pub
lie debt which five years ago would
have seemed staggering TO the richest
country in Europe is hard to see, and
its enemies have been too thoroughly
pulyerized to yield much tribute. Be
fore the war it was generally believed
that financial exhaustion would make
long war impossible; governments
kept going longer than had been ex-
pected, but the bill which the people
have to foot is all the greater.-S Spring

Favorite Sons.

1t has been on the cards for some
time that, true to the tactics Of past
presidential campaigns, crop of "fa.

about this period To some extent it
may be attributed merely to the short,

the conventions, also, in part to the
claims made for Gen. Wood. 1t is an

NEED BEDS FOR CONSERVATIVES
Too Few Communities in United States
Are Provided with Equipment.

A great lack of hospital beds for
"consumptives" is reported by the Ma
tional Tuberculosis association in a
statement issued to-day. In some com.
munities in the United States, it is
said, not only is there shortage of
hospital facilities, but there are no
beds at all for such cases To meet
this need, practical appeals, backed by
evidence of the value Of institutional
treatment Of tuberculosis, will be made
throughout the country as part of an
intensive campaign TO reduce the raw
ages Of that disease now being con
Quoted by the National Tuberculosis
association.
The Red Cross Christmas seal, it is
pointed out, will be a big factor in
solving this problem, for the nation
wide campaign is to be financed by the
sale of more than 6J0,0O0,000 seals be-
ginning Dec l.
The statement says that the health

sis death rate OF their town more than
third in less than three years, provid-
ed data showing that there should be
two beds for every death from tuber-
culosis The total number of deaths
each year from that disease is now
10000, the statement continues, and,
on the birmingham basis, there should
be 100000 beds, whereas, rs 4 matter
of fact, there are only $4,000 hospital
beds in the United States, including
such beds in prisons, county hospitals
and asylums for the insane.
In some communities, SAYS the
statement, "a person must be Grim
inal, a pauper or insane to get insti-
tutional care for tuberculosis"

vide the needed beds directly, the
statement concludes, but part Of the

The Inyalid,s Comfort Bag.

An invalid, if she is bedridden or
confined TO chair, is particularly help
less as to getting little things that she
wants every few minutes, and equally
so in her ability to put away things
that will accumulate, She dislikes To
be always calling for this or that, and
for this reason the invalid's comfort
bag is a most welcome gift
The bag in its appearance is a modi-
fication or deviation of the ordinary
shoe bag, but the pockets are numerous
and adapted to the invalid's various
needs. It requires about two yards of
cretonne, or denim, and it is well to
make the body part over stiff paste
board that it may hang evenly and
well from the upper corners, where are
loops that may be fastened to hooks on
the headboard of the bed, or on the side
of the bed itself-wherever is the most
convenient spot.
The bag has two rows of pockets.
The larger, upper lefthand one is made
large enough to slip magazines or folded
papers in, thus avoiding the untidy APP
pearance that such often make about
an invalid, when paper is thrown
down for the time-being, to be taken
up again later In the pocket, they are
out of sight and easy of access.
The remainder of the upper portion
is divided into four small pockets-the
lower two for small toilet articles, hair
pins, brush and comb; the upper ones,
one for extra handkerchiefs, and the
other the surprise or happy thought
pocket, and this is the chief point of at
traction in the bag, making it different
from other somewhat similar bags. In
il are supposed to be put the little sur
prises that thoughtful friends and rela-
tives are constantly preparing for the

without his knowledge and that he re-

Hilario Medena, under secretary of
foreign relations, is quoted by the TX

Entertaining Creditors.

Mr.. Malone, after telling the com

pay was questioned by Representative

guy, as reported in the postotiice bull

FALL V0UCHES
FOR PRESIDENT
Senator from New Mexico
at White House Interview
Finds Condition Good
ABLE TO HANDLE THE
MEXICAN SITUATION
President Promises to Indi-
cate His Views After a
Study of Fall Data

Washington, d. c., Dec 6,Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday reserved judg-
ment on the Mexican situation until he
could examine evidence submitted by
Senator Fall of New Mexico, on which
the senator based his charges that the
Mexican ambassador and consuls in the
United States had distributed red"
propaganda in the United States.
/ Senators Fall and Hitchcock con.
ferred with the president for nearly an
hour. They said they did not ask his
Judgment on the pending resolution
requesting the president to sever diplo
matte relations with Mexico. but he
promised to indicate his views later,
after study of Senator Falls data.
Senator Fall said in reply to ques-
tions that he was entirely satisfied
with the presidents condition and with
his ability to handle the Mexican sit
uation.
While the president did not say di-
rectly that he would communicate with
Congress on the Mexican situation, the
senators gained the impression that he

of which Mr.. Fall is chairman, and Sen.
stor Fall agreed TO do this at once.
Mrs. Wilson was present at the con
ference which was held in the presi-
dents sick room, Mr. Wilson being
propped up in bed. Senator Hitchcock
said the president seemed in better
health than when he last saw him
more than two weeks ago His face
was fuller, the senator said, and his gen
eral condition seemed much improved
Senator Fall said the president told
him he did not know the details of
the Mexican situation, but had gen
eral knowledge of the subject.

Second Choice Pledges.

1t is doubtful whether Gov. Coolidge
will feel fattered by the platform
on which Robert NJ. Washburn bases
his conditional candidacy for 4 posi-
tion as delegate at large: First, hon
estly for Calvin Coolidge to a finish
for president, and then, as second
choice, for Leonard Wood only" Some
may infer that the Coolidge boom is
being used by Mr.. WashburR as a mask
for the Wood boom. "For Leonard
Wood only" as second choice means,
presumably. a fight for Leonard Wood
when the convention reaches the final
nominating stage-if Gov. Coolidge
shall have been eliminated by then. It
would be only natural for Massachu-
setts delegation to go supporting the
states "favorite SON." but it may be
doubted whether, as a mere matter Of
party expediency, Republican leaders
will want their delegates pledged to
Wood for second choice, or any other
candidate now in sight. Mr.. Washburn
may have chance to make good his
manifesto.-Springfield Republican.
