Love for Princess
Born in District
Ends in Tragedy
(By Universal Seryice.)

Paris, June 5.-A romance between
"a young Italian millionaire and a
beautiful 17-year-old princess of
American birth which ended in a
tragedy, was revealed today when,
despite efforts to keep the whole
affair secret. the police made 1t
known that Alfredo Alleghretti had
shot and killed himself in the Hotel
du Rhin. Wednesday. leaving a note
in which he told of his hopeless love
for the young daughter of Princess
Raspigliesi.
The latter was Miss Marie Reed,
OF Washington, and before her mar
riage to the prince was divorced
from Col. +. III. Parkhurst
Two months ago the wealthy
young Italian met the young prin-
cess at a dance in the Ritz where
she and her mother have been stay
ing. The acquaintance rapidly rip
ened into love. but the mother of
the princess frowned on the affair
and suddenly informed the ardent
suitor that his attentions were un-
welcome. whereupon he returned to
his room in the Hotel du Rhin,
across from the Ritz, and blew. out
his brains. after writing a brief
note telling of the blighted romance.

SUBURBS GROW
In ALEXANDRIA
Realty Man Says Building
Operations Will Go Even
More Rapidly.

Homes In the suburbs Of Alex
andria are In large demand. accord
ing to A. H. Agnew, real estate op-
orator of 624 King street. Despite
the large building construction now
going on, he said. 1t Is almost i'm
possible to keep up with the demand
for home, property. particularly in
the pretty suburb of North Rose
mont.
Agnew foresees for Alexandria
and environs a rapid growth which
will be followed by a still greater
Increase in the demand for homes,
with consequent increase in property
Alexandria has many advantages
of a thriving and growing city. and.
according to Agnew, II there is any
thing IL lacks. II Is a trust company.
There is discussion in some circles
now of forming such a company for
handling the big business incident
to the sale of real estate. The lack
of such an organization now Is one
of the difficulties in the way of
handing the paper connected with
the sale of homes there.

Jealous Europeans Await Wilson Call
For First League Assembly Session;
Geneua, Brussels and The Hague FigA

AT the same time the council de-
cided to ask President Wilson 70
call the assembly meeting in the
rail- in some convenient Euronean n
capital. This, said the Opponents
OF the President, would enable Mr.
wilson not only to set the date. but
name the city where the -eonven-
ton was to be held. So the origins al
Invitation to Mr.. Wilson was amend
ed to read that the President could
select European capital after ad-
vising with the Supreme Council of
the league.
Wilson's Power Limited,
In that way the council decidad
not to put too much power in Presi-
dent Wilson's hands because those
nations opposed to Geneva as the
capital of the league, feared the
President would call the assembly
In Geneva and thus give the Swiss
city the prestige of the first meeting
of the league assembly.
The President cannot se,ect q
place without consulting the league
council. and Ii Is feared the old ais
pute OF the powers over Belgium's
Switzerland's and Hollands claims
will become acute once more.
The final decision. of course, rests
with the assembly. Belgium is con-
Quoting an active campaign in Eng
land. Switzerland. knowing that
there is a possibility of Geneva
losing the headquarters. has sent
Gustave Ador. formerly president Of
the Swiss Confederation, to London
to plead the Swiss cause. League
officials are marking time until
Wilson issues a call for the ASSEM-
bly,. Realizing that Americas deci.
sion will have great influence upon
the members of the league, Holland,

ARMENIAN MANDATE
DIES WITH SESSION

The action of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee in favorably re-
porting out the resolution oppos-
ing a mandate for Armenia. cou-
pied with the Senate's passage vI
the measure, will remove any
doubt from the minds of the
stricken people of Armenia as to
the attitude of the United States on
the matter" Representative Ste
phen G.. Porter. chairman of the
committee, made this assertion in
a statement issued yesterday fol-
lowing the failure of the House to
consider the Armenian resolution.
Our action will warn the league
OF nations that we are not party
to the league" Porter said, and
do not intend to recognize or adopt
any of it's covenants and thereby
place the United States in a posi-
ton where it would be contended
by the statesmen at San Reno that
we had. by implication, ratified
the treaty. and estopped the repub-
lie from denying that it is subject
to the DEGREES of the council of

London, June 5.-Switzerland to-
day is in danger of losing the Cap
/ ital of the World" The question of
permanent headquarters for the
League of Nations is again becom-
ing an important and troublesome
| international issue. At present,
! Switzerland, Belgium and Holland
have special representatives in Lon
don making diplomatic representa-
tions and carrying on q campaign
in favor of their respective capitals.
When the Supreme Council of the
League at its Rome meeting last
month. lodged the question of NOV
ing the headquarters to Geneva. de-
spite the vote of the Swiss people in
favor of Joining the League, the
hopes of Belgium and Holland were
revived to such an extent that the
old dispute, which arose at Paris
during the peace conference between
the great powers. again came to
the fore, and behind the scenes of
diplomacy an interesting bit of in
trigue is evident today.
Intrigue In Developed.
Before the Rome meeting I cabIed
II was doubtful whether Switzer-
land would get the international
headquarters. because Of the oppo-
sition in Switzerland to the League.
1t now appears that this domestic
opposition in Switzerland was used
as camouflage by the powers which
still seek to house the League in
Brussels or The Hague when the
question of moving to Geneva was
brought up at Rome. The council
sidetracked IL by a statement that
the transfer" of the League was
to be decided by the assembly of

The Farmers Share

Claude Harper, Purdue university
sheep specialist, has issued a state
ment to this effect:
"a man who weighs 175 lbs. requires
three and one-half yards of cloth to
make a suit the weight Of cloth being
from 10 to IS ounces per yard. The
average medium weight wool suit is
made Of goods weighing II ounces per
yard. At three and one-half yards per
suit the cloth in the entire suit weighs
40 ounces. or a little more than 3
pounds. In the manufacture Of all
wool cloth it requires one and three
fourths pounds of secured wool to pro-
duce a pound of cloth.
Therefore, considering waste in man
ufacturing, it requires about 81 ounces
Of secured wool for an average suit of
clothes. Most of the Indiana secured
wool is selling in Boston from $1.25 to
$1.44 per pound. This wool scOurs
around so per cent of grease and dirt.
At $1.44 per secured pound this makes
wool worth 8 cents per ounce. As 81
ounces are required for the entire suit,
then the cost of wool in the suit is
$685."
Mr.. Harper says that if a suit is
made Of the very best grade of wool,
which is selling at $1.90 per secured
pound, then the wool in the suit will
cost $737.
The American Wooden Co., which
dominates the wool market, has a more
substantial share, than that allotted to
the farmers or to the wooden mill
workers. Its net profits for 1919
amount to $15,513,415 after the pay
ment of all taxes and setting aside
reserve for contingencies The total of
it's capital stock both preferred and
common is $6,00O,000.
All wise people use the Sheaf as their
advertising medium.

highways were improved in the dis
tricts represented by these replies, a
specific Instance makes the benefit
plain. A farmer in a Southern State
had to haul a ton Of barbed wire %
miles, over unimproved roads. He
found that with a tW0-horse team his
maximum load was 500 pounds, and
that three days were required to make
one round trip. TO haul 1 ton, there
fore, required II days to make one
round trip. Allowing Sc day for man
and team, the cost was $72. After the
roads in this region were improved,
the same team could draw a ton to the
load and make one round trip in two
days, at cost Of $12. The t0n-mile
cost under old conditions was $3.1S,
and this cost was reduced 50 cents by
o. improved road
Roads and Wheat Marketing
Take the saving in the cost of haul
ing wheat as another example. If the
|,construction of narrow, single-track
roads with improved surface will re-
duce the hauling cost per cent a ton
mile. and if the average yield Of wheat
in the vicinity of these roads is 80
DuSllelS TO the acre, luerc results, IOf
an average haul Of miles, an economic
advantage Of 22.5 cents an acre or $16
quarter section. This is 4 per cent
on 5000. Calculations of this sort have
shown thousands of communities the
wisdom Of borrowing money to the ex-
tent Of $1,000 square mile of wheat
area, so that roads could be improved
to effect a saving on wheat hauling
equal to that cited above, and, at the
same time, effect corresponding saw
ing in each of the other crops.
The lowering of distribution costs, it
is now recognized, is one Of the most
important problems in reducing living
costs. While business is searching for
more economical methods of handling
goods, the farmers have not been neg
lecting other phases of this problem.
On the prices at which he sells, all
other prices must depend. Good roads,
enabling him to get. his products to
the market at materially reduced cost,
are among the big factors in more
economical distribution.
