Despite statements of Sir Hamar

with surprise when the newspapers

A fierce red glow hung all night long

with thoroughness. With special an

having made an entry, poured gasoline
on the vast stocks and applied a torch.

Ten Thousand Have Lost Liberty Bonds

their coupon bonds are most pitiable
in many instances. Poor women who
have struggled and saved to purchase
government securities, either through
carelessness or a variety of unfortu-
Late circumstances suddenly find
themselves minus the bonds. They
endeavor to recover them, fail, and
then present their plea to the govern
ment. OF the thousands who have
pleaded for the substitution Of securi-
ties for coupon bonds, only a negligi-
Bile percentage have produced suffi-
cient proof Of loss to permit the gov
eminent to relieve them.
This condition probably will be
brought to the attention Of the com
ing congress with a hope that some
measure of relief may be found for
the wne of bonds as we'll as pro.
lection for the government.
The treasury officials again call at,
tention to their pleading that coupon
bonds be exchanged for the registered
bonds. Almost every advantage is
given the holder Of registered bonds,
Almost every disadvantage accrues tc
the holder Of coupon bonds. And yet
the people will not respond. Any
bank will handle the matter.

lie health service that the Legion pro-
poses to urge measures designed to
cut red tape in the bureaus and Ito
compel the government to function in

The Legion representatives who met
here with the heads of the three bu-
reaus to discuss Il plan to combine the

of the Legion clear, declaring that it
proposed to press for legislation con-
sOlidating functions of the three gov

Do NOT SEEK EVIDENCE
Special Assistant Nebeker in Trust
Prosecutions Declares Department
of Justice Has No Quarrel
With Farmers Union.

Neutrality-suspicious. farmers CO.
operative organizations are exempt
from application Of antitrust laws,
the department of justice has given no
consideration to the campaign for the
Withholding of crops from the markets
until prices advance, it was said by
Frank X. Nebeker, special assistant
antitrust prosecutions.
Mr.. Nebeker's explanation of the de-
partment's attitude followed the re-
cent statement of Charles S. Barrett,
president Of the National Farmers
union, that he understood that federal
agents We're attempting to obtain evil
dence for prosecutions in Kansas,
Iowa and other middle western states.
May Seek Fair Profit.
The Clayton antitrust act, Mr..
Nebeker said, expressly provides that
agricultural organizations, not having
capital stock or conducted for profit,
cannot be construed as conspiracies in
restraint of trade. Withholding of
crops from markets for personal profit,
Mr.. Nebeker asserted, probably wouIu
not be held as organization profits.
Mr.. Nebeker also explained that the
limitations on the appropriation act
for the enforcement Of the antitrust
law would seem to preclude action
against the farmers, inasmuch as the
act specifies that no part of the ap-
preparation shall be expended for the
prosecution of farmers who cooperate
to obtain a fair and reasonable price
for their products.
Unfair Price Not Legal.
The construction as to what is a
fair price for the various farm, prod
ucts, Mr.. Nebeker declared, would,
however, probably govern in any spe-
cific case that might arise, as it would
seem that since the present law for
bids prosecution where the effort is to
obtain a fair price, conversely at
tempts to obtain unfair and unreason-
able prices would be contrary to the
law.

New Administration to Tackle Budget

n ASHINGTON.-With the govern
w ment likely to spend $4,00O,000,-
600 or more annually for years to
come, the working out Of an effective
budget system will be one of the first
tasks Of the Harding administration.
The bill establishing a budget system
may be passed in advance of the in
auguration Of Senator Harding as
president next March.
The Good-McCosmick budget bill is
pending before the senate. after hav-
ing been passed by both houses last
spring, vetoed by President Wilson
and repassed by the house. AS
passed a second time by the house,
a provision which the president OBJ
jected to because he thought it en-
croached upon constitutional powers
of the president with respect to the
removal of officers appointed by him,
was eliminated.
In case the bill Is passed during
the winter session in advance of
March 4, there is q likelihood Of the
organization of a budget bureau be-
fore Senator Harding takes Office as
president. Under the bill the secre-
tary of the treasury is made the di.
rector Of the bureau while an assist
ant director is provided to be appoint
ed by the president at a salary of S10.-
600 a year. A general accounting Of
fee also is created headed by a con-

drawn, but without waiting for the

and reach Chicago before the end of
the season.
The author of the book and lyrics,
