LEGISLATORS LEAVE
FURNITURE IN CAPITOL

JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 3.-For
the first time in the history of the
state capitol-at least within the
memory of the attaches here-there is
not a bit of missing furniture from
the legislative halls. Heretofore the
Legislators are said to have sold fur
niture to themselves at low prices.
This is the declaration of Louis
Ratliff, commissioner of the perma-
nent seat of government. 1t is Rat
cliffs first time as custodian of the
property after a legislature has ad-
journed. Unusual as it may seem, rec
ords in his office show nothing is
Ratliff said.
'.The state auditor was telling me
about some of his furniture being
said Ratliff, "but 1 made an
Investigation and found all of it for
him. Three cuspitdors-the cheapest
ones we had-and two mirrors were
carried away, but nothing else is miss
ing"

WHY LIBERTY BONDS ARE
STRONG.

- HERE is no mystery about
IDL the recent strength of the
- market for Liberty bonds
in the light of treasury state
ment that no less than $717,-
537, 900 had been retired and
cancelled up to August 81. This
is very substantial fraction of
the total amount of ,0OO,-
900, 900 in these bonds which
were originally issued and rep
resents a measure of debt liqui-
dation hardly to be paralleled
in war finance within a year of
the wars end.
Only a trifle over $34,000,-
900 of these cancelled bonds
was paid off by allies that had
borrowed the money. The rest
came from government pur-
chases in the open market un-
der the provisions of the Third
Liberty Bond Act and from
of inheritance and
estate taxes with bonds, as au-
thorized by the same act.
The price tendency in this
market is thus likely to contin-
le generally upward. The
treasury is evidently working
into an easier position as the
war recedes, despite the croak-
ngs in congress to the contrary.
Purchases on regular sinking
fund account must in time cum
strengthen the de-
1emand. In an investment
world still much troubled by
he uncertainties and recon-
Jtructions springing from the
anarchy of war, these bonds
are losing nothing in the attrac-
,iveness of safety. None of the
Liberty issues will long remain

MEAT PROBE TO RESUME.

7HE investigation of the
III meat packing industry,
incident to consideration
of the Kenrick and Kenyon IL
censing bills by the senate COM
mittee on agriculture, is enjoy
ing brief respite, but will soon
be in full swing once more. By
agreement of members of the
committee further considera-
ton of the licensing bills has
been postponed until the treaty
of peace and league of nations
is out of the way.
Because of the public inter-
est in some regulation of the
packers, which is expected to
materially assist in the reduc-
ton of the cost of meat pro-
ducts, it is taken for granted
some sort of licensing bill will
be reported by the committee,
but there are troublesome fea-l
lures arising. The committee
in merging the Kendrick and
Kenyon measures will have to
decide whether non-related in
dustries must be taken into con-
sideration.
In the hearing to be held
evidence is expected to be pre-
sented which will not be, as in
the first hearing, all on the side
of the packers. The senate ex-
poets to get results by examina-
tion of stock raisers, consumers
and others qualified and the
whole nation stands behind
them in their efforts to regulate
prices.

NifffHAT did the women do
3HH for their country when
we went to war? 1t
would be easier to tell what
they did not do, for there was
no great undertaking where
they were not first and fore
most.
They put on overalls and
went into machine shops. They
went into munition factories,
where they dealt with death
every hour Of the day-a death
as terrible as that of the battle
field, shorn of its halo of
"glory." They went out into
the country and worked on
farms-scoffed at in the begin
ming and respected and appre-
ciated before the summer clos
ed and the blisters on their
hands had become callouses.
They ran street cars; they be-
came efficient dairy-women
they acted in positions of honor
and trust and responsibility,
and in every humble capacity,
and whatever they we're
whether directing a govern
ment bureau, thinning radishes
under a burning sun, doing
clerical work in Washington, or
acting as house physician for

the women's division at Hog ISL
and-in whatsoever capacity
they served, the women of this
nation 'made good"
They won for themselves
within a few weeks a recogni-
ton that long years of service
had failed to bring. The adop-
ton of rules prescribing hu-
name conditions for women
employed in war industries un-
der government supervision
have set a standard for women
workers for the whole country. |
Communities having foolish re-
strictions-such as rules pro-
hibiting married women from
teaching, or women who have
children from following that
calling-have been set aside,
and it is safe to predict that no
school board will attempt to
revive them.
Civilization has made some
long strides in this country in
the last two years, and women
will find that the unselfish SER
vice they have rendered their
land in a thousand capacities
will bring to them a thousand
fold return in the long years to !
come.

wM. HART'S FAMOUS PLAY.

William S. Hart's famous Pinto
pony, Fritz, has been given an inn
portant role in the first Hart picture,
THE Narrow Trail" which Thomas
Ii. Ince has released through Art
craft, and which will be seen at the
Alpha theatre on March 16. There are
great many scenes which really
hinge on the ability of the horse to
carry through the thrilling situations
Fritz's first entrance in the plcturue
is dramatic. Hart, in the story, is a
leader OF band OF outlaws, and needs
horse that will be swift and cum
ming enough for the exigencies OF his
daring profession, which consists
mainly of holding up stage coaches.
Riding through the mountains with
his companions, he spies herd of
wild horses, and notes that their lead
er is beautiful Pinto. Strangely at
tracted to the animal. Hart vows he
will capture him for his own. There
Is an exciting chase as the wild pony
maddened with fear, makes a dash for
freedom. Hart succeeds however. in
lassoing him, and later a lasting
friendship springs up between the
two, which continues through five
long reels and is replete with thrilling
adventures.
Fritz, In the story, is well known
as the outlaws pony, as there is no
horse so peculiarly marked, or which
equals him in speed and staying quail
tiles. And so, in way, throughout
the story, on Fritz depends the life
OF his master.
