FARMER GETS

(By International News service)

(Ry International News Service.)
 Chicago, Dec. 20.-Criticism direct ed a t organized grain exchanges when wheat prices, with all other cOmmodi- ties began umblinS several weeks ,ro has materially decreased, ac~ .ording to agricultural economists.
 Many agricultural publications now are aiming criticism at the federal -eseryc board, declaring that the 50 oer cent increase in discount rates turing the last year has worked a -rcmendous hardship on the farmer. train men say that the price read ustment throughout the world: with ,u,nner crops and other economic fac lors made the fall ot grain prices aatural consequence.
 With the grain exchanges free from he unvarranted charges of attempt al nrice control. attention for the lime is being centered on the baker md his profit. In this connection the 1atlonaI crop improvement service has presented an interesting discussion. Taking as a working basis wheat at s226 d busheI in Chicago, the asso- .iation says: .The farmer gets his sash at the elevator, S2-13; the elevat- ,r take 3 cents a bushel; ten days interest at 714 per cent would be o047; weighing and inspection would nc O014: freight and tax would be o494. and the grain commission takes | per cent, or .0226 a bushel." These igures it is stated, represent the to- al received by each person from bread If 10 cents "a reasonable price with wheat at S2.26." The farmer gets a title more than 3 cents, the baker ,ells for cents and gets about "a cents of the 10 cents. and the retaile

DIAMONDS MAY ME MINED IN
 ILLINOIS SOON

Chicago. Dec. Pathological for nations in Hardin county in the southeastern part of Illinois resemble those of the Johannesburg district, South Africa, and may contain dia- monds, according to an announce ment by Francis W. Shepherdson, di- rector of the state department of edu- cation. "
 Hardin county said MT. Shep- herdson: .is, geoiogically speaking, a part of the Ozark mountains. It pre- sents what geologists term a fault. This fault is akin to the formation of the diamond fields of South Africa which are the richest in the world's s history. No diamonds have been found in Hardin count yet, but if geo logical conditions are not misleading. the presence of diamonds is not inn probable. One of the worlds best f1uospar mines is in this par tof Ill., inois."
 Twenty-two diamonds were turned up by farmers blow in 1912 in the southern part of Illinois. One of these weighed "A karats. These are the only diamonds ever found in the state. More than 20 diamonds have been found in Indiana and a half dozen in Wisconsin, but these are supposed by geologistS to have been washed down from the region of Hudson bay in the glacial age. The only diamond mine in the United States is in Pike county, Arkansas More than 5000 diamonds have been taken from it including one of 17A karats Pike county is also geologicalIy akin to the Ozarks. The Arkansas diamond mine was discov- cred. in 1906, but systematic mining did not begin until last spring. It is now in regular operation.

STATE SENATOR IN MONTANA
 IS LEPER

 Helena, Mont, Dec. 20.-Montana
 has state senator who is stricken
 with leprosy He is Senator O. G.
 Wiilett, of Alberton, Mineral county.
 He served in the Philippines from
 1902 to 1904 and contracted the dis. ease. He was married in 1917 and
 went to the state legislature the same year. In the fall of. that year he be- came i'll and his nia1ady was diag- nosed as leprosy by the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn. Now he is not in clined to accept the newly discovered Chaulmoogra oil treatment recom- mended by the United States public health service. It" was offeredrto him by Dr: W. F. Cogswell, secretary of the state board of health. --s E
 On his return from A1berton, where he visited Senator Willett on his own
 ranch, where the senator is in quar- antine, Doctor Cogswen said the sen- ator explained he was depending upon what he claims is Divine healing for a cure -t -@- 'a Doctor Cogswell said he believes, however, twill not take the senator long to realize that the age Of mir acles is passed and that he will accept the government treatment. Doctor Cogswell said Senator, ,Willett was not suffering, but that the disease has progressed since he visited with him a year ago. :a

of the hull of the sunken ship and come to the surface of the sandy bot tom on the opposite side of the ship dragging after it a chain, and the defiatable pontoon are/ the two inn portant cogs in the Saliger system.
 After the chain has been taken un- der the hull, def1ated pontoons are at tached to both ends of the chain. The pontoons are then inflated with an air compressing machine.
 A similar operation is performed at intervals along the length of the sunk en ship until there are enough pom toons in position to raise the ship.
 The salvage ship is then lowed to port and the cargo and hull are sold.
 Mr. Saliger was in Bridgeport yes terday and informed a Times man that the system had received indorse- ments from all of the great marine engineers of the country, and that it was only a question of being able to provide enough units of the system before it would be in common use throughout the world.
 MT. Saliger also said that it was the purpose of his company to estab- fish bases on all waterways and that he believed the port of Bridgeport was an ideal location for the base of operations on Long slard Sound if the people of the city showed any sort of enthusiasm over the matter
 He also said that with his system he would be able to salvage sunken ships at $5 a ton, while the present rate was in the neighborhood of $T5 a ton.
 He believes that in few years the stock of his company will be as val uable to the holders as the stock in the Ford Automobile Company is al the present time to it's holders. Any one wishing to purchase the stock may do now by calling or either Captain Wilson or MT. Pierce at 1906 Main street.

Mysterious Kidnapping of Rich Jews Keeps the
 Budapest Police Busy

Budapest, Dec. 20. Mysterious kidnapping of rich Jews continues here and the police seem unable to end it or to detect the criminals.
 Recently three wine merchants who had gone to the country disappeared. The police followed their tracks to the lake Balaton, where the water washed ashore boat, in which the hats of the merchants were found. All further trace was lost and their fate still is unknown, although there is every indication of murder.
 The case of Jacob Reissman, a rich piano manufacturer, belongs to the same category. Reissman was car ried away from his home in Budapest by three men, who pretended to be detectives of the military police. Reissman vanished and with him the contents of his safe. It is consid- cred certain that the unfortunate te manufacturer was robbed and killed, although neither the perpetrators nor the body of the victim were found.

Inflated POntOOn Is Part
 Of New Salvaging Machine
iS rhe az A &iTveN AT YOUR AOuSe roOo

he display of the inflated pontoon on the roof of the building at 1,206 Main street attracted large crowds of sightseers yesterday and today, many of whom gratified their curiosity as to the meaning of the balloon-shaped apparatus by visiting the office of the Saliger Ship Salvage System on the floor of the building and interview ing Captain Jerome Wilson who with C. I. Pierce is in charge of the office.
 One of the visitors thought that the pontoon was the lost navy balloon ]. for which a search has been made during the past week.
 The pontoon is one of the links in the system which Alois B. Saliger, he famous inventor, has devised for ,aising the hulls of wrecked ships Ind their cargoes from the bottom f the sea. ,--. It has been the dream of adven- Grers for years to devise some means J recovering the untold wealth that Tests on the bottom of the ocean and Ether navigable waters in the hulls If the numerous i1l-fated ships that Are now resting. there.
 MT. Saliger's attention was first called to the great possibilities and the great fortunes that awaited the inventor of successful system of reclaiming these treasures when the steamship Republic sank in 1909, and he immediately turned his attention to the discovery of some practical apparatus which would be able to raise sunken ships and salvage their cargoes.
 That he has succeeded in his efforts can be seen by any one with a bit of mechanical knowledge by viewing the apparatus on exhibition on the first floor of 1906 Main street.

WOMAN ELECTED
 TO BE SHERIFF

Beulah Mich. Dec. 20-"Politics won't be any nicer now that women are in. You may bank on that" de- clares Mrs. EStelle Gates. sheriff elect of Benzie county, Michigan.
 Matronly. about 50 years old. she gives the impression that she fnows whereof she speaks.
 Mrs. Gates charges that the, cam paign against her in Benzie county was conspicuous chiefly by the trick cry employed by the opposition. And I'm right here to tell you the women were to blame for it. she adds. Many who labor under the delusion that women are going to support wo- men in politics are going to be disil- luSioned.
 'The women didn't support me ir m! election, nni I nevcr knew before I ran for the office tha U had an enemy. Besides bucking me, they thought up more subtle methods of attack than my man ever could, and. believe me. I'll trust to the support of men every time"
 Mrs. Gates received a. majority of ninety-four votes, but she credits none of her votes to the women of her community.

|0UIJA BOARD SENDSFOUR
BILLINGS WOMEN INSANE

Ouija board mania has sent four
Billings women to the state hospital
for the insane at Warm Springs. The
first was adjudged insane early last
winter. The last was committed a
few days ago, after hearing in the
district court. 1t is said that large
number of women patients are now
confined in the institution as a re-
suit of ouija board manipulation.
Stationery and novelty stores have
great difficulty in maintaining suf-
ficient supply of ouija boards to meet
the demand and in many homes a
session with the device has supplant-
ed game of cards as evening recrea-
ton. Women are the largest pur-
chasers, it is stated, but many boards
have been sold to men. Clerks in
the stores remark that the boards
sold to men are almost invariably
purchased in the early morning bust
ness hours, and the opinion is given
that the men do this to lessen the
chance of being Caught in the act"

Reports are reaching the entomol-

BUTTE IS HUNGRY;
COOKS ON STRIKE
ALL OF THE LARGER CAFES
AND RESTAURANTS CLOSE
AND BUTTE EATS LIGHT
Demand of Cooks and Walters for
Wage Increase Is Refused and
Strike Follows; 10000 People
Confronted With the Problem of
Where to Buy Sustenance.
Butte is hungry.

There is plenty of food in Butte;
walters concludede that they needed
more money to checkmate the rising
cost of living, so they struck.
The owners of 95 out of the 100
cafes and restaurants which take
care of the wants of Butte's inner
man refused to meet their demands,
the workers quit and the eating
places closed.
There are 10000 men and women
who depend upon the restaurants for
their food. For the first day or two,
those of this class who got few
sandwiches to to stave off the pangs
of hunger were in luck.
Then the owners of the cafes and
restaurants decided to open up the
cafeteria of Former Mayor w. H.
Davey, the largest concern of it's kind
in the city. Men who had formerly
been chefs or waited on table and
who had gone up in the business,
donned aprons and went to work.
This institution is now feeding prob
dDiy o,UUU people.
A few of the smaller restaurants,
where the owners do most of the
work, remained open, but they could
only take care of a limited number
of the hungry hordes.
Only the plainest of food is being
honest sustenance-the
kind that keeps the physical machin-
cry of the hired man going. Butte
eats light, and must wait for the
strikes settlement to get back to the
better things to eat.
There is talk that the butchers
Ind bakers and grocery clerks will
'efuse to handle foodstuffs bought
~ the community boarding house,
# the restaurant owners. In that
went the situation may become criti-
al.
