PRESIDENT HAD
STROKE, BELIEF
OF WASHINGTON

, Congressman Chas. R. Crisp arriv-
ed home Saturday night from Wash
ington to spend week resting at
home while congress is in brief ad-
journment. He was uptown today
shaking hands with his many friends
and acquaintances. The regular ses-
sion of congress will assemble De-
cember i, and he will have to leave
here the end of this week to reach the
capital in time for duty.
Congress having been in almost
continuous session for nearly two
years, Judge Crisp says that he, like
the other members of both houses,
is extremely grateful for even the
short breathing spell afforded be-
fore the next session.
Asked what is the understanding
in official circles as to President Will
sons real condition, Judge Crisp
stated that it was generally believed
that he had suffered a stroke of
paralysis of the right side. He said
it was believed that he had suffered
a slight brain lesion on his trip West,
following a speech of an hour and a
half at Pueblo, and that he suffered
stroke shortly after reaching the
White House. 1t is understood in
Washington that on the night DIR.
Dercum, the specialist from Phila-
delphia, was called, it was feared
the President would die. He has
been in bed two months, and receiv-
ed the king and queen of Belgium
lying, with right side propped up.
81 asked Attorney General Palmer
with whom | served on committee
in the house and whom | knew very
we'll, and who is close to the Presi-
dent" said Judge Crisp, "just what
was the Presidents condition and
whether it was true that the Presi-
dents mind was affected. He assur-
ed me that his mind was perfectly
clear and as good as ever, and that
his trouble was nervous breakdown.
He did say, however, that after his
! recovery there would never be the
some robust Woodrow Wilson o1
the past"

Old Fiddlers To Bring
Old Time Reminders

You cannot help going to hear the
Old Time Fiddlers on Thanksgiving
evening at s o'clock at the county

think Of years long ago when you
used to go to old timey breakdown
as they were called in those days
and time and when you used to swing
Sallie and Jane left and right and
promenade all around the floor-will
make you remember when you were
only little boy or girl and how you
used to go twenty miles in wagon
to one of these old timey dances and
how when you got there you would
be nearly frozen and would eagerly
peep in to see a great big fire in the
wide fire pplace made out of pine
logs.
The old Fiddlers will play such
tunes as "Mollie Put the Kettle
On "Crossed-Eyed Joe,'' and num-
erous other tunes that were played
when our fathers and mothers were
wee tots.

Albert Breton, vice-president of
the Guaranty Trust Company, who
has just returned from a protract-

large sections of Europe as shown
bv the recent elections in France,
Belgium, and Italy. Europe, Mr..
Breton said, while it is certainly
badly off in many respects, is not
so badly off as many Americans
seem to believe, and will, in his
opinion, manage somehow to get
through the coming winter which
will be the severest crisis. The tre-
mendous paucity of transportation
facilities, Mr.. Breton said, is one
of the chief obstacles hindering
Europe.

Sold Meat Below Cost.

Investigation of the charge of
profteering on the part of the Chi
cago master butchers, made during
the three weeks strike which end

that four retail shops opened by
the strikers have been selling meat
lower than the wholesale price.
The strikers had charged the mas

to substantiate their charges had
opend four stores which quoted
prices for all grades of meat at
rates considerably lower than those
charged by the master butchers.
The master butchers defend them
