Cincinnati Man Brings Forward His
Plan for Simple Perpetual
Calendar

Cincinnati printed calendars
would be thing of the past If the
perpetual calendar were adopted said
c. B. Braunstein, who has a plan for
simplifying dates.
LET the year be divided into Is
months of % days each. This would
make 1854 days. AS there are 365A
days In year, the odd day could be
placed anywhere in the calendar and
be universal thanksgiving day. The
other extra day would come every
fourth year and could be placed after
the last day In leap year and be known
as Zero day Leap Year day or Gala
day.
Under this plan Monday would al
ways come on the LIST, 9Th, 18th and
22d days Of the month; Tuesday on
the I'd, 9th. 10th and 23d; Wednesday
on the Sd, 10th, 18th, Oath; Thursday

the possibility of Germany coming
back" Doctor Taylor and his associ-
ates believe firmly that the German is
finished in military way; that the
German people are disguised with the
military idea, which has brought them
nothing but misery and hunger and
that above all other things the French,
and of course the other allied nations
and America, are not in any danger
of Il resumption Of the war.
This does not mean that any ami
able feeling Is growing among the
American officials here In Paris to-
ward the Germans, and it does not
mean that an unfriendliness toward
the French people is developing. The
Americans who have been In Germany
and who know the Germans from long
experience before as well as during
the war, are convinced that the Ger
man today is the same swine he was
in and before 1914.
Doctor Taylor and DR.. Vernon KEEL
logg, also of the Hoover staff and COM
petent to speak of the situation In
Germany, are both of the opinion that
Germany has no great amount of
manufactured goods waiting to be
shipped to the markets Of the world
ahead of allied goods.
1t now seems that the economic
blockade that shut raw materials from
Germany during the last two years Of
war just about finished the nation in
an industrial way.

Washington, May 2O.-Calling for

prohibition act as affecting beers and
wines, new organization of indus.
try to benefit labor, and promising
early return to their owners of the
railroads and dire lines, President
Wilson today sent his message to
the new congress.
1t was the first time the president
has been compelled to address an all
republican congress, and his message.
for the first time since he took of.
flee, was read in both branches in
stead of being delivered in person
before joint session.
Points in Message.
President Wilson declared:
That he would return the railroads
to their owners at the end of the cal
endar year.
That the telegraph and telephone
lines will be returned to their own
ers as soon as possible.
That in the case of both the wires
and railroads, there should be legis-
lation to develop more uniform and
coordinated system of operation
The war time prohibition act should
be amended or repealed, so far as it
applies to wines and beers.
There is no occasion for ANY gen
eral revision" of the present system
OF import duties, except necessary pro-
lection of the dye industry and against
possible trade discrimination by for
eign powers.
Revision of federal taxes to simplify
administration, elimination of minor
taxes, such as excise upon various
manufactures and taxes upon retail
sales and adjustment of incomes, ex-
cess profits and estate taxes as the
mainstay of revenue sources, was
necessary.
That new organization of indus
try" with labor participating in it's
control, is necessary to make opera
tive a community of interests be-
tween capital and labor.
United States employment service
should be continued and several agen-
cies of Cancellation and adjustment
coordinated by setting up of new
federal agencies of advice and infor-
nation.
That undeveloped land should be
allotted to returning soldieds.
That woman suffrage should be
adopted.
1t was essentially labor message,
stating at the outset that this ques-
ton Stands at the front of all 9TH
ers in every country amidst the pres
ent great awakening"

Facilities for Camping Parties in
The City Parks and at the

Elaborate preparations are being
made to accommodate the Northwest
farmers convention to be held at
Spokane June lib. Officials in
charge of the affair are confidently
expecting an attendance Of 5000 up
wards as the call includes Washing

Invitations to the meeting are be-
ing sent to members of all farmers

unions, oranges, cooperative associa-
tions and other bodies in which far
mers hold membership. In addition
every effort is being made to secure
the attendance of unaffiliated pro-
ducers, as this convention is to be
made of unusual Importance to men
who have previously held no men,
bership in any specific organization.
To these men special appeal is be-
ing made, as the big purpose of the
convention is to impress upon the
farmers the advantages to be derived
from organization.
Use Big State Armory.
On account of the enormous crowd
expected special arrangements are
being made to accommodate the Wis
itors. Instead of using one of the
numerous halls, the officials have
engaged the big state armory, which
will seat 1000 persons and provide
standing room for 1000 more. The
building is located within five min
utes walk of all downtown hotels
and restaurants, making 1t most
convenient place for a convention.
The big hall has level floor and
large stage at one end Along the
for the customary adjuncts of big
convention and there are also COM
mittee rooms on the same floor. Re.
firing rooms are convenient in the
basement
Realizing that hotels will be taxed,
portions of the city parks and the
fair grounds are to be thrown open
to camping parties. It is expected
that many of the visitors will make
the trip by automobile, bringing
their tents and food supplies with
them. They will be provided with
free fuel and water and local COM
mittee will take other measures to
provide for their comfort Farmers
wives are especially invited to make
this brief outing.
Downriver park, located only two
and one half miles from the center
of the city, will be unusually at
tractive gathering place, where the
city has provided open air ovens
and has cut away the shrubbery
reseeded the lawns and relaid water
pipes in anticipation of the crowd
No more comfortable place could be
had for three days stay than this
beauty spot beside the swiftly flow
ing Spokane river among pictures
que pines.
No Raise in Prices.
A. D. Cross, secretary of the con
vention, says all hotels and restur
ants have agreed that their regular
rates shall apply and that the Spo
kane Chamber of Commerce has
guaranteed to stand back of this
agreement and will reimburse any
one for excessive charges. Hotels
and restaurant proprietors insist tina,
they have never increased theii
prices on account of conventions and
will continue to keep faith with Gus
