success both financially and social
ly. The entertainment under the di-
rection of Mrs. Anthony Zurich was
declared to be one of the most orig

ed to the public of Ely for some time
past. All of the numbers were do
mated by the Friday Evening Club.
The vocal duet of Mesrs. Armand and
Coleman, with Armand in a female
impersoation, caught the audience,
after the realization that the rather
flashy female, lacking much of the
feminine charm demanded by her
sisters, was really a male.
Mrs. Anthony Jurich won instant
admiration by her Interpretation of
the song. my Cairo Maid" which
she sang in excellent voice and pre-
sented a graceful and pleasing pic

er, and many of the people of this
state have not yet come to the reali-

Washington, April 14.-Declaring
that the cost of food distribution is
too great, the federal trade commits
sion recommended improved market
ing and distributing at great market
ing centers as step toward the low

"The movement Of food should be
made most direct to factory from the
field" the comission declared in a
receipt of wholesale marketing Of
food in one Of the series in the food
price investigation ordered by the
president.
Elimination Of Unnecessary costs
and losses in food distribution, the
report added. would not only "act as
a counter agent in checking disparity
In food prices and incomes" but would
strengthen the nations position in
competition for world trade. The re-
port asserts that the rapid rise of
food prices in recent years was not
so significant as that the money In
comes Of so many people have fallen
so far short Of proportionate in
crease.
Food absorbs 1872 per cent of the
average income, it therefore consti-
tutes no inconsiderable part of the
wage. OF two communities whose
products enter The same market,
otherwise equally that one which
supplies its working people with food
at lower cost either will pay it's
people higher wage or will have a

"A wise governmental policy to-
ward food industries may lower dis
tribution costs without proportion

here from the near east with his
bride, formerly Mile Marguerite
Fays, Belgian refugee whom he
met at Chaumont France. The story

After the relief unit to which Mr..

he was sent to southern Russia
where Denfkine and his army oppos-
ed the bolshevlki. When the bolshe-

eFress was almost impossible.
Soon after he made this discovery
he learned that Mile. Fays was in
Tiflis, whore she had gone to meet
him and he determined to cross the

American who made his perilous way

up many times by mountaineers he
reached Tifis where he was married

THOMPSON RULES IN CHICAGO
Moyor Secures Control Of Republican
Party Machine.

| Chicago, April 14.-Mayor Thomp-
son and Fred Iundin made clean
sweep of Chicago yesterday in the
ward committeeship fights and are
in practically unanimous control Of
the republican county committee. BY
kthe early returns the city hall appears
to have lost a single ward--the Nine
teenth-where Chris Manner hit the
skids and the Italians took possession
Of the bailiwick, electing Diamond
Joe" Esposito. who was supposed to
have been a Deneen candidate.
1t was the most extensive cleanup
that the republican party has ever
seen in Chicago since the town be-
came city. Under the new primary
acc the entire control of party or
sani2ation for ,he next four years
passes under the direct control OF the
mayor and his political director and
general manager, Fred Lundin.
So comprehensive was the victory,
from the standpoint of the city hall
lieutenants who jammed the Ran
dolph street headquarters of the
winners, that Mayor Thompson was
without delay hailed as the logical
dark horse candidate for the republi
can nomination for president. 1t was
rumored that the real stuff along this
line will be started this morning.
Into the wreck Of the old fighting
factions went the comprehensive De-
neen organization that had been
built up in every ward in the city.
in anticipation Of a possible cnndi-
decy of the former governor for
United States senator. Alongside Of
the Deneen wreckage was the north
side organization that was long con-
trolled by Fred A. Bussee, and more
recently by Attorney General Brund-
age who has been a a>potentiai candi-
date for the republican nominate ion
for governor.
