CENSUS OF 1920 TO
TELL OF WAR GROWTH
Next u. S. Enumeration Will Be
Most Complete Ever Under
taken:

Washington, Feb. 4.-The four
teenth decennial census of the Unit
ed States, arrangements for which
have been completed through agree
ment between the House and Senate
on the pending census bill, will be
not only the most complete census
ever taken in this country but of
great Importance generally.
Aside from the fact that a reap
portionment of the membership of
the House of Representatives will
be made necessary giving snme
states added representation and tax
ing representation away from others,
the new census is expected to reveal
the tremendous strides made bs this
government during the War period
and will bring up to date the esti-
mates on the resources and wealth of
the country made in 1910 and now
conceded to be entirely unreliable.
It will require the services of near
ly 100000 persons to take th. new
census, a small minority of whom
will be employed under the civil SER
vice. About $4,000 enumerators will
be necessary in addition to 400 su-
pervisors and large Office force in
Washington to tabulate the returns
that are made. Employment of the
supervisors will begin July of this
year, but the enumerators will not be
taken on until next year.
The bill as reported by the con-
ferees must be published not later
than June 80, 1922. It is expected
that some of the returns will be
available long before that time

OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR
BETTER PACKING OF
EXPRESS SHIPMENTS

Plans of most comprehensive ma
ture to bring about conditions which
will make possible marked improve
ment in express service throughout
the country were announced last
night by T. A. Stallings, local repre-,
sentative of The American Railway
Express Co.
A better service campaign will be
undertaken by the $4,000 men and
women employed in the express busi-
ness, for the purpose of raising the
standards of packing and wrapping
in every city and town in the cSun-
try.
The drive will start on February
10 marking of express shipments. ,
The chief purpose of the "Better
Service Campaign" is to check once
and for all, the waste of time, effort
and money that result from lost or
damaged shipments.
It is source of dissatisfaction and
annoyance to both shippers and the
carrier and tends to impair the ex-
press service. 1t is expected that all
who ship by express-and 100000
900 shipments are annually travelling
that way-will be keenly interested
in the forthcoming drive, because it
so intimately concerns the transpor-
tation and Of the many different
trades and industries, some of which
depend almost exclusively upon the
express service.
A special effort will be made to
secure the help of business execu-
tives and managers of large con-
Germs in, all trades and industries, in
the belief that the proper preparation
of express shipments is a matter of
Importance to every successful bust
ness.-:Adv.

ALMOST sUPERHUMAN
STRENGT is EXHIBITED
BY HERCULES" POLO
Star In Thrilling Universal Serial
"The Lure of the Circus" Filings
Men About rs Though They
Were Children.

An exhibition of strength that vii
make motion picture patrons gasp In
amazement is given by Eddie Polo
star of "The Lure of the Circus" the
sensational. serial of circus life and
big business which will be shown al
the Opera House on Tuesday.
Few of the many thousands OF ad,
mirers of the co-star with Marie
Walcamp in Liberty, and "The
Bulls Eye", well known Universal
serials, realize that the daring actor
is known to the melical profession as
"the perfect man., and that physl-
cally he measures up to the stand
ards set by anatomists for male
physique.
In "The Lure of the Circus" the
intrepid actor, who is a stranger to
fear, performs some of. the most mar
velous feats of strength ever wit
messed.
Among the many tests OF his su-
perhuman strength that will be- fea'
lures of the production will be the
lifting of ten of his companions in
the circus on plank suspended from
Polo's shoulders.
Two heavy draft horses will be al
lowed to see-saw on plank across
Polo's chest, and in another scene
two Shetland ponies will be lifted
clear of the ground and suspended in
midair by the actor, who is acknowl-
edged to be the strongest man of the
age.
For many years Polo was an ae-
rial artist with many of the largest
circus organizations, and his early
training and constant practice since
entering the moving picture field
has kept him in the pink Of condition.

She Was Restored
HAD BEEN IN BAD HEALTH FOR
THREE YEARS, SHE SAYS.

s'It was short time after I began
taking Tanlac before I became
able to do my rousework," said Mrs.
Fannie Ripley, of Gluck Mill, An
derson, in a statement She gave May
N25th. 81 had been in bad health
three years when began taking Tan
lac, and during the summer of 1914
and 1915 I had not been able to do
my cooking. I had suffered from in
digestion, and everything I ate hurt
me. I had very bad spells of indi-
gestion and headaches and nervous
attacks. It was soon relieved by Tan
lac, however, and the indigestion was
stoppel. The Tanlac relieved the
nervousness and headaches right
away. I soon got so I could sleep

up and strengthened. I am doing
all my housework now.

TREATY MAY BE
BEFORE SENATE
BY END OF WEEK
Jones Would Have u. S.
Withdraw Unless Ma
tions Abolish Draft.

Washington, Aug. 25.-An i'm
portant week in the peace treaty
controversy in the senate opened
today with the possibility that the
foreign relations committee might
report the document to the senate
before the week end
Withdrawal of the United States
from the League of Nations within
two years unless all member ma
tions abolish conscription is pro-
posed in a bill introduced today by
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington.
Another provision in the bill is
that the Ameican delegates to the
league shall be elected by the peO-
pie for a term of our years. Their
salaries would be $4,000 annually,
and no person under 35 years of
age, would be eligible to election.
Report French Pact.
While Germany has been van
quished for the present, nothing
but force is likely to restrain her
from seeking world domination at
the earliest opportunity, in the
opinion of the senate judiciary sub
committee appointed to report on
the validity of the proposed treaty
by which the United States would
go to the aid of France in the event
of an unprovoked attack by Ger
many.
In holding that ratification Of the
special defensive treaty is within
the constitutional powers of the
treaty making bodies of the Ameri-
can government, the subcommittee

the interest of the United States

The company would make no
statement today on the loss. Dam
age is fully covered by insurance,
but Robert Lee a high Official OF
the Moline Plow company, declar-
ed that the loss is not so great in
the building as it is to the con-
tents and the highly specialized
machinery and products which
were in the shop at the time.
We are unable to estimate the
loss" Mr.. Lee said we know
that the loss TO the building and
contents is covered by insurance.
but that is a small part of It.
There were highly specialized ma
chimes in the shop. These cannot
be readily duplicated and much OF
our loss will be in the delay which
will come before we can reopen.
We figure We will be able to op-
crate again the first of the year
The plant will be rebuilt i'm
mediately. but it will be difficult
TO get machines and install them
al least for another four months.
There we're many finished tractor
parts in the plant also which are
a loss
Employed 500.
It was stated that the plant will
Of necessity entirely shut down be
cause of the fact that without the
machine shop in operation it will
be impossible to provide products
for the remainder of the factory to
operate. The forge shop was in
operation today. but in the course
OF a short time there will be no
activity in the plant. Five hun
dred men were employed at the
present time. 1t will be the policy
Of the company to give them en-
ployment either in other plants Of
the Moline Plow company or in
clearing up the wreckage and re-
building the machine shop.
The company employs 1900 men
when operating full force, and al
though the plant at the present
time had only 500, it was expected
that steps would be Immediately
taken TO increase this number as
the fall season came on.
General Manager Keith refused
to estimate the damage, stating
that II VIII require several days
before the exact amount will be
known. He declared that the mon
ey part of the rebuilding is not the
principal worry of the company. as
there is the insurance and sufii-
cient funds to take care Of the ex-
pense.
He declared the principal con-
Germ is that it will be difficult to re-
produce the highly specialized ma
chlnery for the shop in a short time
and heavy part Of the loss the
company will sustain will be the
idleness during the period Of again
equlpping the plant.
The section of the plant which
was destroyed by flames is S0x300
feet, and was at the extreme east
end of the company's property. It
