| | ? COMM TIE DENIES HARDING
 OPPOSES FARMER
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

CHICAGO, Oct. 25-Republican na- tional headquarters tonight issued statement declaring Senator Harding's s opponents were widely and menda- ciously circulating reports the senator opposed guaranteeing the American farmer more than a dollar a bushel for wheat during the war" Statements made by the senate had been garbled to misrepresent his views, the state ment said.
 "The facts are that Senator Harding voted to guarantee the farmer $2.50 wheat, while President Wilson, when the power was place in his hands, fixed the guarantee ostensibly at $2.50, though as a matter of fact, the farmer got much less than that" continued the statement
 Senator Harding's references to dol lar wheat, made in an address at the Minnesota state fair grounds, had no reference to the price of wheat in war time. He was talking about the price of wheat in times of peace prior to the great war. He was not even talking of the price of wheat under condition since the war ended.
 While the Lever bin to encourage food production was before the senate, July q, 1917. Senator Harding said:
 q said raising $1 wheat was prof itable occupation in times of peace; and I said to the Senator from North Dakota, Mir. McCumber, that the know ing farmers of the country arc, buyinr land in Ohio at $150 an acre for the very purpose of going into a commer- cial proposition of raising wheat prof itably at $1 a bushel--in times of peace to be sure. This was a reference to wheat production in days of peace when dollar wheat was looked on far differently from what it was in the war period or would be now in the un- settled conditions following the war.
 Senator Harding's opponents. al- though they know perfectly well Sena- tor Harding voted for s2.50 wheat, nev- ertheless garbled his statement by cut ting out the last seven words, in times of peace, to be sure and circulating the rest of it to give the impression thai Senator Harding wanted to hold the farmer down to dollar wheat in wal | times.r

INDIANS IN WAR PAINT . ID DANCE AT CARNIVAL

Indian tribal war dances. famous in the early days of Arizona will be re- enacted for the first time in more than a quarter of a century on Indian day, Friday, at the first Arizona cotton car nival at Mesa.
 Wearing the paints that signaled their entry into war, three of the tribes that helped write Maricoya county his- tory have agreed to dress the dress of their forefathers to help celebrate In- dian day at the carnival. These tribes are the Apaches. probably the most famous of all warning nations. the Maricopas. one of the most peaceful tribes, and the Papagoes.
 Soon after order was restored among the Indians of the community. the United States government put ban on any of the nations dancing their historically famous war dances or don ming war paints. This restriction has only recently been lifted with a result that the dances at Mesa will be the first opportunity in more than 25 years to see the Indians in their most beloved dances.

Any other method is bound sooner or later 10 involve our country in international omplications.'
 To Japanese the commission said; 'TThe great hodv of citizens throughout the United States stands for justice and fair play in the treatment of Jap anese in America" and that a consid- erable group in California earnestly de- sire to have these problems solved in ways at once honorable for Japan and. safe for California.
 ITO set matters right. not only new treaty, but proper Legislation. is needed both in Tokio and in Washing ton.'

TOO ABSORBED TO REPORT

Making newspaper reporters out or college boys and girls is not without it's trials and tribulations. Dean Wal ter Williams of the University of Mis-
 souri school of journalism will bear testimony to this fact Once, he says, he sent a member of one of the report ing classes over to a nearby town to re
 port a railroad wreck. The press hour grew near and there was no story from the reporter. Dean Williams waited and waited for a report of the wreck
 to come in. Finally. in sheer despera-
 tion, he wired the student reporter. asking him what the trouble was and why he hadn't sent in his story. The reply came back: Too much excite ment- Wait till things quiet down.

COMMERCIAL AIMS IF UNITED STATES
 REACH WORLD WIDE
By Harry B. Hunt

WASHINGTON, Oct 26-The groundwork for Uncle Sans new pro- gram for worldwide development of his commercial activities is being laid by the extension of American Cham bers of Commerce in far-away coun- tries and by an active participation in the affairs of the International Cham Der of Commerce, recently formed with headquarters at Paris.
 Twenty-eight American Chambers of Commerce have been organized to date, in 16 different countries. The latest to complete its organization is Pernam- buco, Brazil. The next one scheduled for organization is at Vladivostok, Si- beria.
 Countries where American chambers are already under way promoting American trade relationships are: Ar genuine, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile. China, Colombia, Cuba, England, Italy, France Mexico. Spain, Turkey, Germany, South Africa and the Philippines. China leads in number of chambers with six, Brazil is second with four.
 Reports from China to the United States Chamber of Commerce indicate that the bodies of Shanhai. Tientsin, Picking, Harbin, Hankow and Chansha are rapidly bringing Amerioan trade in China into American hands and con- trol, paving the way for a rapid in- crease in Chinese American commerce.
 Dr. Frederick P. Keppel, an assist ant secretary of war during 1917 and ! later director of foreign operation oi the American Red Cross, has beer named American administrative com missioner of the International Cham Der. The intimate knowledge of Euro pean conditions gained by him in his Red Cross work is counted upon as 2 valuable asset in his new job of ad- vising American business of its oppor- tunities in Europe.

ORCHID HAS A BIG FAMILY

There are more than twelve thousand varieties of orchids and no man has a complete collection. While orchids are known most generally for their rare beauty of coloring and form. they are also widely known to chemists as a basis for several forms of sedatives, and the extracts from one of the most beautiful varieties is used in the treat ment of one of the most ugly of human ailments, epilepsy.
 The seeds of most varieties are so tiny that they are blown about like dust, and they obtain their growth when blown against the trunk of tree, or even a vine or weed, for the orchids are flower vampires, and live through the life blood or saps of other growing things. The name comes from Orchis, who, in Greek mythology, was torn to pieces at a baccanalian revel because of his bad behavior. and the bacchana- Hans. following pleas of the boys fath- CT, made a concession to the effect that each piece of his body would become flower of different shape and color.

YANK ARMY FLYERS
GIVEN BIG RECEPTION
u. S. Aviators Return to Washington
After Flight to Aiaska-Escorted
by SIS Planes.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Escorted by
the I'D 1, four squadrons aggregating
90 airplanes and Americas biggest
dirigible, the eight army aviators who
in four planes flew to Alaska and
back, were welcomed home with the
most remarkable air spectacle ever
witnessed at the capital. Their re-
markable accomplishment is the out
standing air event of the year.
One squadron of Is planes accom-
panied the flyers from Mineola. Two
other sQuadrons from Langley field
met the returning heroes a short dis
lance from Washington. In squadron
formation with the returned aviators
in the center all flew over the capt.
toll.
Thousands of spectators saw the pi-
oneers of the air land at Boiling field
where they were greeted by Secretary
Baker, Secretary Daniels, General Per
shing, Maj. Gen. Charles T. Menoher
director of air service; Brig. Gen. VIII
liam Mitchell, director of military aer-
onautics, and other high War depart
ment officials.
Altogether the expedition covered
5000 miles. The flight to Alaska re-
quired 16 days, although the actual
flying time was 1856 hours. The re-
turn occupied Is days. The route the
daring aviators took was over 300
miles of glaciers, where forced land
ing meant death, and over 1000 miles
of territory SO sparsely settled that
no human habitation was seen for
hours at stretch. The average flying
height was 5000 feet, although at
times the planes flew as low as 200
feet and at others were compelled to
ascend 10000 feet.

Did you ever hear the pigeon
spoken of as the culver? Well, years.
yes, hundreds of years ago, John Man
deville, an Englishman, wrote in very
wonderful book Of travels, which some
claim is a greatly exaggerated &C
count of what he saw, about the cul-
vers of Syria, and how men in war
times, not daring to send messengers,
sent their messages around the neck
of a culver. This odd booF was pub
lished before printing was invented.
and was done by hand.
