Rev DR.. 5. L. Flickinger, of the Rs
formed Church, delivered the sermon,
which was an eloquent patriotic ad-
dress on the subject. The Present
Situation and its Challenge" Dr.
fhcknger spoke very pointedly on the
present political situation as he sees
II. He said that the three great en-
emeS OF our country are the selfish
capitalist, the heartleSS profiteer and
the violent agitator, and he also con-
demned the wanton eNtravaganee of
the American people He made a
strong appeal for patriotic devotion to
our country, resistance 10 the varied
evils of this day, and urged that We
NAV come back to right principles of
living and to God. His sermon was

Another Accident at Harper's Ferry.

There was another bad automobile
accident at Harper'S Ferry last Mon
day afternoon. An Overland touring
car occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. c. A..
Wallace and Mr.. and Mrs. William C..
MCLott, of Baltimore, was approach
ing the bridge across the Potomac at
Harper's Ferry from the Maryland
side. There is an abrupt turn after
crossing the bridge over the railroad
coming south, and in taking it, the
front wheel of the car struck an open
ing in the wall, which threw the car
around at right angles. The wall
gave way and the Car went on down
the bank, turning over several times,
and landed on the old railroad track
some sixty feet below. Mr.. Wallace
had his shoulder broken, and the other
occupants of the car miraculously es-
capped with several cuts and bruises.
The car is a complete wreck. A mo-
torcycle went over the same place sew
eral weeks ago. This is very
dangerous place in the road and should
be made safe without delay.

Editor Delivers Kickapoo Papers at
Readstown by Car Wednesday
Night When Weather Permits

The Vernon County Censor has more
than five hundred subscribers at La
Fargo, Viola, Readstown, Soldiers
Grove and Gays Mills. Thanks to the
short-sighted policy of Burlson, nation-
al postoffice autocrat, these subscrib-
ers have been receiving their Censors
anytime from Friday to Monday of the
following week since the stage route
across to Viola was discontinued
year or two ago. Since then these
papers have gone to Lacrosse, Prairie
du CHEN, to Wauzeka, then up 70 the
Kickapoo offices, and most of them out
on rural routes to whiting a few miles
of the place where they were printed
sometimes consuming four days in the
trip,
The worst of it is that we see no
hope of this ridiculous and disgusting
situation being changed. For the past
two weeks, Editor Goldsmith has load
ed the Kickapoo mail into his car
Wednesday night and delivered it at
Readstown, thereby insuring that all
valley subscribers win receive their
papers by Friday or before. This
practice viii be continued whenever
weather permits as long as the auto

JAPAN LOSES 90 P. C.
 OF CHINESE TRADE
Boycott Placed Last May Is
 Very Effective

San Francisco. Feb. 1S.--Japan has lost 90 per cent. of her trade with China since the imposition of the boycott on Japanese goods last May. according to Mohan T. '. Zi. of Shanghai. delegate of the Chinese General Cha mber of Commerce to the national foreign trade convention to be held here in May.
 Commissioner Zi, a member of one of the greatest importing and eX- porting houses in China, is making a tour of leading American cities, and will return here in time for the con vention.
 Speaking of Japans loss of the trade it had built up with China dur ing the war. reaching volume of hundreds of millions of dollars Commissioner Zi told of the oppor- tunities offered to Americans.
 As a condition precedent to this great trade opportunity for America in China. the primary considerations are better cable facilities and more ships," he said. American cotton exports to China up to the time when this country entered the war, ap proximated $100.OO0.00o. The great bulk of this trade, immediately upon your exports stopping. was secured by Japan. which, obtaining the raw product from China, manufactured the cotton and sent the finished pro duct back for Chinese markets.
 .Sincc the boycott, due to the Shantunc situation. this great cotton market has been left practically open. and ono of my chief missions to this country is to establish connections with the big cotton exporters. ' China is urgently in need of materials of hardware and of electrical equipmentI In the latter line Japanese products again are suffering from the boycott and the field is wide open.
 While to the outside world the trouble between Northern and South crn China seems important, 1t has no great bearing on the mercantile and industrial life of China. These fac tional differences are the product of political groups seeking power.
 The automobile industry is capa ble of tremendous development, as the Chinese are very partial to American motors of good modern style and quality and at the lowest price con- sistcnt with these qualifications"
 Chinese are also making strides in the development of industries and building up the manufactures of their own country. Commissioner Ti said. He also pointed out that American business men made q mistake in dcal- ing with compradores 'natiNe com mission merchants) at Chinese ports, rather than with Chinese importing houses who. better understanding their problems. talking the language of their clients. operated more economically and efficiently in behalf of foreign traders.

REMAINS OF CORTEz
 IN MEXICO CITY
Body Of SpaniaTd Brought to NeH
 World in 1862 <

Mexico City, Feb. 1S.-After almost one hundred years of consistent search it now appears that the re- mains of Harnando Cortes, Spanish conqueror of Mexico. have been dcfl- nitely located in the Tenn pie of Jests, one of the many Catholic churches in Mexico City. A gold key which can unlock the marble vault con- taiuing the dust of The Conquista- dor" and the funeral garments in which he was buried. is said to be in possession of Sonora BorneQue de Ia Barra. a resident of Paris, and ef
 forts are being made to obtain eit. The key comes to Senora Borneque as a heritage. "
 Newspapers here have agreed in this onnection to give absoluts credence 10 the testimony of direct descendent of the keeper of the Hos ptal of Jesus. an annex to the tenn pie of the same name. He claims to- have documentry evidence that in 1923 when patriotic zealots planned to take forcible possession of Cortes remains they were saved from vlo- laton and were later returned fo their original resting place beneath i; the main altar of the temple. It WAS, this seuuest ration in 1923 that caused students to conduct a search for the hiding place, many asserting it was. in old Spain and others in Naples,
 Italy.
 The restlessness which drove Her. nando Cortes. Spanish courier, eto, New Spain and culminated in the' conquest of Mexico from the Aztecs in 1521, after one of the most brii-s liant campaigns in all history, apps rently continued after his death near Seville SD3ju 154I He buried in the chapel of a monastery near Se- vile. but in 1562. in accordance with | his will and by order of his son, the ! remains were taken to Mexico, srnt
 to the MeXica City suburb of Coy"a- , can. which had been Cortes' head quarters during the memorable
 siege of Mexico City. but to the moH- i 1sterH of St. F'rancisc in Tezcuco, an-. other village near the Mexican cap ital.
 The remains were moved again in 1929. his time to the church of St Francis in Mexico City. The transfe was accompanied by the most laNi5 , religious pomp and ceremony eY recorded in the country. In 179i remains were again given new fe ing place-the Hospital of Jesus Nazareth. an institution founded an
 endowed by C-ortcs. There was ndr period of interruption until a crowd nf demonstrants in 1923 wished 10 scatter the remains as a token of their independence when a secret -se- moval was made until the flame of revolution died down.
 It is in this hospital. or church as it is now that the historic crystal coffin secured by bars and plates of silver and containing the dust of Corr tes wrapped in linen embroidered with gold. was deposited and now is believed to await the return to Mex ico of<the golden key with which it's hiding place may be unlocked.

TRAFFIC MANAGERS ASK BETTER SERVICE
Railroads Will Try to Improve Freight and Express Facilities

The regular monthly meeting of the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Com merce was held at the New Britain club vest terdaN noon.

This situation had been carefully investi- gated by a special committee and d letter sent to E. Campbell. vice presi dent of the x. Y. N. H. X H. R. R. explaining in detail the serious condi- tionS at the freight house here and their recomm endations for alleviatinS these conditions. MT. Campbells reply stated that he had referred the matter to F. J. Pearson, federal manager, for action. MT. Pearson has promised to look into the matter and give the New Britain shipping facilities serious con- sidcration.
 E. A. Hapgood. associate secretary of the Springfield Chamber of Com mcrce was a guest of the bureau and spoke on New England and the vital necessity for 100 per cent. efficient transportation facilities. MT. Hap good emphasized the fact that New England was essentially a manufac- turing section. that the factories must bring, in practically every bit of raw material that is used in producing the finished articles. thai more than 90 per cent. of the food needed by the workers has to he brought in and that practically all of the finished products are shipped out of New England. Un- less the transportation facilities were efficient and dependable. unless rail- road rates were just and cquita ble New England manufacturers would suffer. He asked for cooperation be- tween the various traffic bureaus of the Chambers of Commerce of New England and in closing congratulated the New Britain chamber on their ef- fiCicnt and active tr-a fife representa- ton Mr. Hapgood'S $ speech met with hearty applause and he was given a rising vote of thanks.

PRICES IN GERMANY
 ARE GOING HIGHER
Value Of Mark Makes Cheap
 Living for Outsiders

American Headquar CoblenZ. Germany, Jan. 21-Continued short age of raw material. increased cost of coal and wages is being reflected in a general increase in prices throughout Germany, according to the German newspa pers.
 A Ham burg rubber goods company has announced 30 per cent increase in the cost of all goods. Leather goods have gone up in price enor- mously. Some dealers say the price has reached such a stage that they be- lieve it will be virtually impossible to do business in the leather line if the price takes another jump. Trade papers have recommended that Ieath- CT goods be permitted to be imported free of luxury tax.
 German newspapers are contem- plating an increase both in the rate Of SubsCript and of advertising
 Despite the wall of high prices Ger man newspapers published long ac- counts recently to the effect that many foreigners. especially Russians. had been f1ocking to Germany to take advantage of the low cost of living due to the low value of the mark. one newspaper says: The cost of living for d foreigner in Germany today is probably One-fourth of that abroad. Naturally. foreigners attracted by the cheapness of living conditions arc flocl>ing to various parts of Germany. Many of these are Russian emigrints who escaped from Stockholm or Copenhagen with money enough to last them wear or so, but who by coming to Germany. find themselves provided with enough money to last them five or six years
