times, the telephone people say, he
made triDs TO visit his daughter in
Council Bluffs and at times failed to
notify them chat he was going. A
man from the company visited the
home Friday, but finding II locked,
supposed Frantz had gone on a trip.
A brother called at the home Sun
day morning, but thinking Mr..
Frantz had not arisen yet, departed.
When the daughter arrived from
Council Bluffs Sunday noon she be-
came convinced that her father was
in the house. The door was forced
and his body discovered in bed. II
had started to decompose. Indica-
tions pointed to an attack OF apo
plexy.

Girl Picks Much Corn.

On the Mcnamara farm Just west
of Winterset there is big corn field
that is nearly shucked. The corn
was good, averaging about sixty
bushels.
Mike Mcnamara, who is president
of the Savings bank, recently suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy and could
not work. He could not obtain
hands. 1t looked like the corn would
not be gathered.
Ernest Mcnamara, his son, and
Miss Mary Mcnamara, who recently
graduated from the high school
tackled the job, and Thursday had
twenty acres out yet. They bring
in $50 to $50 bushels a day and have
time to do the chores.

No Credit: No Sales

There will not be many farm sales
held around Creston this winter or
spring according to the auctioneers
in that vicinity, owing to the banks
being unable or unwilling to handle
the paper. A large number OF sales
which have been listed have been
cancelled until the money situation
is relieved in spite of the fact that
many were being held to pay the
high rent and mortgages, according
to advices which have been received
from all parts of that section of the
state.

NEW YORK HOUSING
BILLS ARE PASSED
Special Session of Legislature Votes
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Prevented.
to Exempt New Houses from

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 25-The pro-
gram of the joint housing committee of
the legislature, formulated to relieve the
housing shortage situation, was adopted
by the extraordinary session of the leg
islature which adjourned last night after
completing its work. All but one of the
recommendations of the committee were
passed in the form of bills designed to
alleviate the conditions existing at New
York city and other centers of popula-
ton.
The only recommendation of the com
mittee that failed to meet with legisla-
tive approval was that proposing to ex-
empt interest on mortgages from the
operation of the state income tax law,
provided that congress enact legislation
exempting such interest from the oper-
alton of the federal income tax.
Chief among the recommendations that
RECEIVED favorable action was a resolu-
ton providing for an investigation by
the joint committee on housing on
charges that a combination of dealers in
building materials had eonspired to
maintain prices at high level

sale evictions of tenants from rented
homes on October l the legislature

Five bills comprising the housing pro-
gram of Mayor Hylan of New York were
side-tracked in the assembly last night
after passing the senate.
By the same vote of "a to 50, Mayor
| Hylan's proposal for a municipality
owned motor bus line in New York city
| failed of favorable consideration.
| The housing and rent bills passed in

session provide for

The elimination of the clause in one
of the rent bills passed at the last reg
ular session Of the legislature limiting the
rent increase to % per cent. No non
payment proceedings are maintalnabie
under the new measure where the rent
has been increased over the amount Tor
which the tenant was liable for the. pre-
ceding month. If the landlord has at
tempted to increase the rent, his RENE
dies will lie in action for the rent. Ito
tells containing Us rooms or more, anc
rooming houses occupied under hiring
for a week or less, are exempted.
The exemption of new dwellings from
local taxation for 10 years providing
construction has been started before
April l. 1922, and completed in two years.
The building must be as least four stor-
les in height in order to receive the ex-
emption benefit, and the ground floor
NAV be used for business purposes.

RENO, Nevada, Sept 25.-Nevada is
close state this year. Normally it is
Democratic by a comfortable majority al
though the majority of 5000 which Will
son got in 1916 was overwhelming. Only
about $4,000 to $4,000 votes are usually
cast, five thousand is virtually a 10 per
cent majority.
The Republicans who think Harding
will carry Nevada count upon him to
they figure majorities in a small state.
The Republican optimism is based en-
tirely upon the disaffection among the
Democrats and the continued murmur-
ugs which has been going on against the
Wilson administration. The Republican
leaders estimate the shift of Democrats
to Harding viii be considerable, but dis
Interested observers do not believe it
will be enough
That Governor Cox VIII get Nevada s
three electoral votes would seem to be
more reasonable expectation than a Re
publican victory though it must be re-
corded here for whatever significance it
may have, that the political 'wayfarer
encounters high Republican hopes in
states that are normal Democratic and
3 shake of the head and a whit of anx-
iety though by no means despair among
the Democratic leaders in those same
states.
Tie truth of the matter is that the
Democratic prospects have been at a low
e5b everywhere in the West for many
months and that whatever Republicans
may say about the effect of Governor
Cox's trip, great and vital influence
has been eXerted by him over the cam
paign in the West, and he has stimn-
lated the working Democrats everywhere.
He has put backbone and pep" into
the rank and file. Many Of them were
originally for McAdoo and did not know
a thing about Cox until they read his
speech Of acceptance.
Now. they have Seen the candidate
himself and in nine cases out of ten the
effect has been instantaneous for as a
political mixer and enthusiast Governor
Cox's magnetic personality is uneXcelled.

Henderson, Democrat, is candidate for
reelection and is certain to win, there
is factional strife in the Republican
party and Henderson who is conserva-
tive man counts upon a. big Republican
vote, the said Henderson is reported to
have been worried by Cox's entry into
the state. Things were running Hender-
sons way without dragging the national
ticket and its handicaps into the situa-
ton.
Even the league of nations was sort
of taboo as a topic of discussion. But
Governor Cox surprised Henderson and
everybody else by the impressiveness of
his argument on the league and by his
own foroefuI character. Democratic
leaders went away believing that while
it might be. disputed, how many Repub.
lican votes were acquired, there could
be no doubt that the Democrats. and
those instinctively friendly to the Demo
cratic cause, but straying from Wilson
leadership, now are disposed to stick in
line under the Cox leadership Hender-
son viii run away ahead of Cox on the
Democratic ticket. So will Senator Pie
stood to have been worried about the
effect of the Cox trip on his chances.
He is reported to be feeling much bet
ter since Governor Cox himself, put
punch into the Democratic campaign and
said a few stirring words about Senator
Phelan's record. Californians who will
tell you that Phelan has a good chance
of reelection win hardly say that Gov
ernor Cox has as good an opportunity
to carry the states electoral vote.

On Problems Relating to a
New Wage Agreement
in Coal Industry
CONFERENCE WAS
BEGUN IN NEW YORK
The Disputants May Wait
for Award in Case Of
Soft Coal Men

New York, March 1.-THE sub.com
mittee of operators and miners APP
pointed to negotiate new wage agree
ment for the anthracite coal miners
held its first conference here to-day.
Neither the miners nor operators are
hopeful of an early decision, as no
definite agreement will be reached un-
til the bituminous coal commission at
Washington hands down its award in
the case of the soft coal miners.
The high cost of living will figure
largely in the arguments of the mine
workers for 90 per cent wage in
crease, IT was stated to-day, Volumes
OF statistics have been gathered by the
statisticians of the United Mine Work
ers to show that wages have not kept
pace with the cost of living.
Up to the present time the operators
have refused to comment or express
their attitude toward the demands of
the mine workers, except to indicate
that it would be impossible to meet
them without increasing the price of
coal.

Washington, d. G., March ll.--Briga
der General Marlborough Churchill
chief of army intelligence, appeared be
fore the Senate foreign relations com.
mittee yesterday during its consider
alton of the nomination of Bainbridge
Colby to be secretary of state.
Committee members were unusually
secretive about the matters discussed
but it was said additional witnesses
would be called before a recommends
ton was made as to Mr. Colby's con-
firmation.
In declining to say anything about
the meeting or predict what action
would be taken on the nomination,
senators said the matters under consid-
GRAFTON we're Of such nature that it
was agreed unanimously not to dis
cuss them publicly.
1t was asserted, however, that ac-
ton on the nomination probably would
not be long delayed unless it was de-
cided to make sweeping investiga-
tion of the nominees fitness. State de-
partment officials hold that unless Mr.
Colby is confirmed by Monday, the
tenure of Frank l.. Polk as acting
secretary will lapse under 30,day
limitation and that the department
