London, June 25.-England's newly
rich. the persons who have accumulat-

the looted palaces In Russia, and ether
continental countries. and paintings
from anywhere IL they bear the mark
Of time. .
There Is no lack Of Jewels for those
who have the price and are willing to
pay. Many beautiful pieces of Jewell
ry, the history Of which is not given by
the dealer but which experts say
could only come from the wealthiest
families of Russia, are finding their
way into the market. Enormous prices
are being asked and promptly paid,
while the cost Of ordinary stones, dia-
monds for instance. has risen to un-
heard OF heights. Many old English
families also are selling off their jew
els, ID
Flowers and food for the elaborate

twenty five dollars for an orchid and
s1.5o for a peach.
Automobiles are very scarce and ex-
pensive In Britain. Some of them com
mand as much as $4,000 to $4,000
and they are models of three and four
years ago, while new machines are
almost unobtainable. The maker of the
most famous English car turns out
only about 500 each year, and 1t Is
said he has already booked his entire
output for this year and next. ..
This extravaganza is attracting wide
attention from newspapers and public
men. Peace has brought an orgy OF

who have money to draw the big lines

Washington, July 21-President
Samiel Gompers OF the American Fed

Unions will arouse sentiment within
their localities by adopting resolutions

nations, and international labor char
ter drafted by the peace conference.
Recalling that the three conventions
were indorsed almost unanimously at
the recent American Federation OF
Nor convention. Gompers wrota
that "There are some Interested
a.ps, ana politicians who would uns
tertake 10 defeat the treaty. the cove-
nant, and the labor charter
'-They are the groups of politicians
| who have generally been antagonistio
to the labor movement and to legisla-
ton sought by labor.
There are no people In the United
States so vitality interested in the
ratification Of the treaty as the work
ing people and 1t is the duty Of the
organized labor movement in every
| section of our country to make known
by resolutions, letters. and kilograms
to their United States senators that 1t
Is the wish and hope Of their respec-
tive unions that these senators shall
vote for ratification OF the treaty.

the failure of the senate to ratify II, ie

"All know that the covenant and
the labor charter are not perfect. No

but the covenant and the labor charter
are the first real eftcrts made TO try
to prevent a recurrence Of the inter-
national bitterness and international
wholesale slaughter."

BARNEY BARycH WANTS JOB.
Noted Stock Market "Gambler" Re
formed Thru War Work. 0

Washington, July 81. - Barney
Baruch wants a job. Peace, he Is con-
vinced, has hardships no less terrific
than war, for now, that the war is over
he is out of works and out of luck.
Millionaire tho he is, adviser Of the
president both in America and Europe
thruout the war, and intimate associ-
ate of captains Of industry in all parts
Of the world, the former chairman of
the war Industries board and financial
adviser to the peace conference Is new
ertheless looking for situation.
And there are difficulties.
One of the chief difficulties Is that
Mr.. Baruch has reformed. he says.
Tor many years he was a gambler. He
publicly admitted it when he was sum-
moned as witness in the famous SEN
ate e."leak" investigation, but the weight
Of war and serious business of life
have reformed him: He never again
will be a gambler or dabble in the un-
certain affairs Of Wall street. Hence
no stock brokers need apply for Mr..
Burach's services. That gateway to
continued prosperity Is closed to him.
Another obstacle to instant gratifi-
cation of Mr.. Baruch's desire for work
Is that he adopted another resolution
for his future. 81
"Shun politics and political jobs" is
his second resolution.
So with gambling and politics out of
the running Mr. Baruch must turn to
other fields and he Is open to offers.
These revelations from Mr.. Baruch
came at the White House today when
he called to pay his respects to the
president and denied to correspondents
in passing the report that he would
be the next postmaster general.
I'm thru with politics Of any sort
for good and ALL" said Mr.. Baruch. Il
am thru with public office and will as
sumo no occupation which would give
any one the opportunity to say that
was taking advantage IF secrets learn
ed while head Of the war industries
board and in charge Of war purchases
for the allies.
mo, sir; am not going to give 2
living soul an opportunity to say that
I have profited even in the most re-
mote way because 'of my war service
1.-THE patriotic Joy of helping to lick
the Huns was reward enough for me-
1tHow about going back to Wall
street" Mr.. Baruch was asked.
Never again." he replied. II was a
gambler once and for many years was
member Of the New York stock ex-
change. but am thru"
But Mr.. Baruch, while waiting fol
something to turn up, need not worry
If nothing turns up but the interest on
his liberty bonds the wolf can not get
within forty rods of his door.

REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
VIII Select Delegates To State Con
vention at Courthouse Thi.
Afternoon.


Pursuant to call, the Republicans
will meet in county convention to-
day in each county of the state to
elect delegates to state convention
at Lexington next Wednesday. Chris
tian county is entitled to 46 delegates.
The convention will be called to order
at one o'clock p. m.
With the nomination of Ed Nor
row for governor already settled, in
advance, it is the plan to have all
rival candidates submit their claims
to the state convention and a state
ticket will be made up to be put on
the ballot by committee endorsement
and thus obviate the necessity of a
state primary. If the Democrats
would adopt the same policy, many
thousands of dollars would be saved
to the state. SThe primary election
law ought to be repealed. 1t Is Zig
expense to the state and does not re-
suit in any better candidates being
selected by either party.
