Lower prices for live stock which

and also below the prices that ruled
in 1914 in many instances.
Fresh beef carcaSSes were offer
ed to the retail trade at prices that
averaged between fourteen and fif-
teen cents a pound, price almost as
low as in 1914. Light pork loins, the
price of which is the index of all
fresh pork cuts, sold for twenty-one

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. IA city
of 100000 by 1927 is the goal set
by the Columbus Chamber of Com
merce and at it's annual meeting last

favoring some suitable celebration
to mark the Tooth anniversary Of

1t is announced that the Greater
Columbus" movement is toh be put
forward with new vigor at this time
and that every undertaking will be
with a view of building up, towards
the goal. One of the first big moves
of the new year is to be a big annex
alton campaign, which. it is hoped,
will result in taking into the city
at least 10000 more people now re-
siding in the suburbs.
A housing campaign will also be
undertaken as means of increasing
the city's population. The chamber
of commerce has had this matter I'M
der consideration before and hopes
to push it to actual results early
in 1921. Other big projects will be
lunched in the interest Of a Greater

SCHWAB TAKES
HOPEFUL VIEW OF
PRESENT OUTLOOK

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-The exist
natural transition of industries re-
turning to a normal basis from the
speeding up Of production made nee
essary by the war, declared Charles
M. Schwab, chairman of the board
of directors of the Bethlehem Steel
night at the annual dinner of the
Pennsylvania Society.
II want to go on record here"
said Mr.. Schwab, "as saying nothing
could be healthier for American bus
ness than the very condition through
which we are now passing. The
severer the storm now, the quicker
it will DE over and the sooner we
can emerge into clear weather and
shape our course upon the sea Of
prosperity"
Commenting upon the status of un-
employed laborers, Mr.. Schwab
stated that 1.-The great need of the
world today is to work hard and
save" This, he said, applies to men
of means as we'll as workingmen
The man who fails to work was char
acterized as Stacker who ode
serves no place among honorable
men,"
The foreign trade of the United
States depends upon the power of
business men to think international
w." MIR. Schwab said in advocating
the plan of trusting in the good faith
and productive power of Europe by
sending raw materials, and accepting
in payment securities representing
their productive activities.
During the last two years, Mr.
Schwab said, there has been the
smallest annual production in this
country than at any time since 1913.
He declared efficient production was
the only guarantee of employment
and higher wages.
Never in our life time" said the
speaker, have the shelves of the
world been SO bare. At the moment,
our. export trade hangs by slender
thread. We are rapidly getting into
position where the whole world
owes us money and yet cannot pay
it.
I'VE are getting relieved of the
impurities in our business life The
p1 ocess is not complete yet. But the
patient will in time be cured and
when he is cured the great body of
American business will emerge with
vigOr and an energy the world has
never known before"
Mr.. Schwab made a plea for econ
omy in government, demanding 1.-THE
same degree of efficiency in, govern
ment as we require in private GUS
mess" Immediate revision of tax
alton also was urged by Mr.. Schwab
as means for promoting national
prosperity.

Vice Governor Platt,
Reserve Board, Favors
Lending Farmers Profits

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE
proposal to use profits of the fed
eral reserve board for loans to aid
farmers and live stock men was ap-
proved today by Edmund Platt, vice
governor of the federal reserve
board.
Mr.. Plat approved the bill 81
Representative Young. North Dakota,
providing for the transfer of the
$500, 100000 in profits of the reserve
board, to the farm loan banks, which
would be authorized to accept sgri-
cultural paper of banks. This PAPER
would run two years with the IN.
terest rate limited to per cent.
CONFIDENT with the arrival of Mr..
Platt's letter at the house, Senator
Sterling introduced in the senate a
bill similar to Representative
Young's.
The senate, however, resumed con-
slderation of the resolution to revive
the war finance corporation, another
measure proposed as an aid to farm
ers. Supporters of the resolution
hoped to get it passed today.
Mr.. Young's bill, Mr.. Plat said
permits the secretary of the treas
ury to deposit in the federal land
banks in each of the years 1921 and
1922, $50,OO0,000 Of the profits of the
federal reserve system. to be used to
rediscount the notes held in banks
based on live stock security. and

Her Ready Smile Is Chief
Facial Characteristic of
Mrs. MurIeI M'NzvlneY
BY ZOE BECKLHY

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit is
hard to picture an ardent Sim Fem
er, a veteran of many governmental
battles, and the survivor of one OF
the bitterest ordeals the human
heart is ever called upon to bear, as
a slender, gentle blue-eyed girl of
twenty-five years. whose ready smile
is her chief facial characteristic.
Yet that is Mrs. Muriel Mac
Swiney.
1t is hard even to think of the
little lady mayoress as a mother
so childlike is she in appearance
1t is hard to realize she is a COL
lege woman.
1t is hardest of all to imagine her
bearing up proudly as she did. while
her husband, Terrence, wasted to
death from his hunger strike to aid
the Irish cause.
Yet beneath her amazingly girlish
semblance. 1 am told. lies very
deep seriousness and an intellect of
which any student of twice her age
might be proud. -
Mrs. MacSwiney loves to talk~of
her baby, Mora, two and half, who
has been left with relatives in Cork
AS L stood near her. someone
showed her a button bearing a pho
tograph of herself and the baby
She reached for it eagerly.
"Oh, let me look at that! It isn't
bad, you know" she remarked in her
soft voice. but it doesn't do the
baby justice. She's lot bigger now.
and so pretty and bright"
Her face lighted as she said it.
mother-pride fairly beaming from
her young blue eyes. For an in
slant she looked grave and almost
grown up.
But the next moment she was
smiling again and greeting visi-
tors.
1.-The blood of martyrs flows in
her VEINS" Frank P. Walsh. who es-
corted her. told me. eff she felt that
her own life's sacrifice would serve
the cause of Irish freedom as she
feels her husbands death served it.
she would not hesitate a second. She
has crossed the sea. without thought
of herself. to tell the story Of Irish
hopes and bloody Irish tragedy.
people often remark that Ter
renee MacSwiney could have been
more useful alive than dead. But
he knew better. And his little wife
knew better"
