Been Taken on Impor-
tant Questions.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 23.-Fed-
eral Judge Lands of Chicago, in ad-
dressing the Indiana state convention

BARS STRAIGHT TICKET.
Ruling Stops Printing Of Ballots
in Idaho.

BOISE. Idaho, October 23.-Printing
of ballots for the coming general
election in practically every county
in the state was halted today when
r. L. Black, attorney general, ruled
that it was contrary to the election
laws to have a circle printed at the
head of the Independent ticket, there
by enabling the elector to vote q
straight ballot. It is also unlawful
dependent" he ruled.
The opinion was the result Of an
action filed in probate court. The
statute provides that where the can
didates were nominated by petition
as in the case of the independents,
that it is unlawful to have circle
at the top of the ballot enabling the
elector to vote a straight ticket, &C.
cording to the opinion.

Montreal, Canada.-The delegates
to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, in session here,
are keenly disappointed at.the failure
of the Republican convention in Chi
cago to incorporate in it's platform de-
mands prepared and presented by or
ganized labor's representatives.
When asked what would be the re-
suit of the rejection of labor's demand
by the Republican party, Mr.. Gompers
said:
"You may draw yuor own in
ference"
The plank, Mr. Gompehrs asserted,
is directly contrary to what labor had
demanded of the Republican party.
1--WE had asked the convention to go
on record in favor of the repeal of the
compulsory arbitration sections of the
transportation act" he added, "but the
Republicans appear to have not only
refused our suggestion but would ex-
tend it to all utilities"

CONTROL 0FSUGAR
BY GOVERNMENT
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY SAID TO BE
ON HAND FOR ALL lMME-
date NEEDS.
DETAILS ARE GIVEN OUT
All of Product Will Be Rationed by a
Committee Which Will Be Respon-
sibIe to the Department of
Justice.

Wasnington-Th entire United
States will shortly be under sugar
rationing system veryl similar to that
in effect during the world war. De-
tails of the proposed system were
made public by A. w Riley, special
assistant to the attorney general, who
will be in charge Of The work
In announcing the9 details of the
plan to be adopted MI. Riley asserted
that placing the country on rations
is preventative rather than curative
and there is sufficient sugar either on
hand or enroute to the United States
to care for immediate needs and there
is no danger of a famine if ordinary
economy is observed by all consumers
Under the system worked out by Mr..
Riley every bit of sugar will be ra-
toned to the various consumers
through distributing committee of
which he will be the chairman Each
member of the committee will be re-
sponsible to the department of JUS
tice through Riley for an equitable
distribution of the sugar allotted to
the consumer he represents and In
that way it is expected that any par
tiality will be eliminated.
The committee will consist of one
representative eacn from producers
refiners, Gamers, rreservers, candy
makers, soft drink makers, bakers
wholesalers, retailers, jobbers and
every other industry using any great
amount of sugar Mr. Riley will be
the personal representative on the
committee of the housewife and the
hotels
Headquarters of the committee will
be established in New York. Each o
the industries to be represented OF
the committee will be asked to nam'
| several representatives in whom the.
have confidence AMI whose decision
they will agree to abide by. From
the several named the department o
Justice will select one. In the even
there is any hesitancy on the part o
any industry to name representative
or refusal, a representative for tina
industry will be arbitrarily named.
The essential industries, including
the home Gamer, preservers. makers
and others, will be taken care of frs
and the surplus after these are takel
care of, will be allotted to the so
called non-essential industries.
Under the plan worked out all thu
available sugar will be figured ou
and equitably distributed-on papel
to the industries to the minimum
amount it is estimated that will bt
necessary for the remainder OF the
year The representatives of each in
dustry will be made responsible fol-

demands to the national Republican
platform committee.

demands to the national Republican
platform committee.
The platform adopted by the Re-
publican convention was termed IAN
outrage and an affront to the working
people" in a statement by Matthew
Woll, vice-president of the federation.
He declared it is "a document with
which Wall street and the steel trust
ought to be highly pleased"
Mr.. Woll said the platform gives
what | take to be a pledge that the
United States will police Mexico for
the benefit of organized oil, mineral
and mining appetites.'
A resolution adopted by the conven
tion provided that every effort be
made by the organized labor move
ment to the end that schools, hospitals
asylums and other similar public ol
private institutions, factories, as well
as other forms of buildings requiring
proper care against the dangers Of
fire, shall be provided with approved
appliances for the prevention of fire.
Organized labor was also urged to aid
in enforcing legislation tending ito
safeguard life, limb and property.
Despite the fact that the conven'
ton is being held on British soil.
Matthew Woll, vice-president of the
federation, declared that the Irish res
olution will be taken up for discussion
and adopted by the delegates.
James Simpson of Toronto, vice
president of the Canadian Trades and
Labor Congress, said that If the fed
Grafton wants to discuss Ireland it is
their privilege.
Several of the Canadian delegates
announced that they would not par
ticipate in any debate OF the Irish
question, but would leave. the matter
entirely in the hands of the American
delegates.

FIVE BILLIONS.

The appropriations of the sixty
sixth congress for it's session
which ended June 5 totaled near
ly five billions of dollars, accord
ing to the statement of Chairman
Good, of the house appropriations
committee.
The government of the United
! States transacts a greater amount
of business than any house in the
world. The stockholders in this
concern are the citizens of the
country, and it behooves them to
attend to the annual financial
statements that it issues.
The average citizen is tied up
in this concern to the amount of
about $3.50, which is the per cap
| ita Indebtedness of the govern
1 ment. This is his share in the to-
tai of 25 billions which his repre-
sentatives have borrowed at Wash
ington, using his good name and
ability to pay.
His representative in congress,
which is his elective board of di-
rectors, have begun to cut down
the total Of annual disbursements
/ following on the most expensive
war that was ever waged. In 1918
the statement showed disburse-
ments Of something like Is bill

that something like one-half was
due to a direct war hang over,
including the financial liquidation
of the government s railroad liza.
bilites and interest on the enor
nous war debt.
Before the great war the annua
appropriations were never above
million, but the business Of the
country has expanded and these
are the days of the high cost o1
/ governing. The interest on th(
war debt alone is worth more thai
/ the total disbursements of othel
! years.
Nothing much has been paid OF
the war debt itself, but that will
keep. Our 25 billions of debt i
big enough, but it is not so big a
the public debt of England, Ger
many or France.
And ten billions of this debt i
secured by our advances to allie
nations during the war. Franc
and England are our creates
debtors, and they are good pay,
a bit slow by reason of hard ru
of circumstances lately.
Very little of it went into Rus
sia, we are glad to say, and to tina
extent we have no cause to worry

COTTON CROP CONDITIONS.

For the past 10 days the wealth
er wanted by the cotton planters
of the Delta has prevailed, and
thousands of acres of cotton, foul
with weeds and grass, have been
cleared and the cotton now looks
well, all admitting that the cotton
appears stronger and healthier
than hoped for.
The cotton is late and all Of it
has not yet been chopped to a
stand and cleared of weeds but the
warm, dry weather has enabled
the planters to have much work
done. and the cotton crop condl-
tions in the Delta, as whole, are
much improved and a fair crop,
not big one, is now possible.
The boil weevil has been report
ed in sections Of the Delta, and
may do considerable damage later
on.-Greenville Democrat-Times.

BANKERS ASSOCIA-
TON TO MEET AT RE-
HOBOTH TOMORROW
Many Subjects of Vital Inter
est to be Discusted

Tomorrow the bankers of the State
will gather at Rehoboth for the an
nual meeting of the Delaware State
Bankers Association. The meeting
comes as the climax of a years cam
paign for closer cooperation and CO.
ordination of interests among the
bankers, and promises even to surpass
the gathering of one year ago in it's
spirit of sociability as we'll as business
achievement. Various proposals and
recommendations that have been con-
sidered during the year at the district
group meetings of the standing COM
mlttees of the associations, held in
Newark, Middletown, Smyrna, Mil
ford, Seaford and Georgetown will be
brought to head in the presence of
the entire membership of the associa-
tion.
AS a step forward in the modern
ization of the banking facilities of the
state, the association will advocate the
passage of a comprehensive banking
act, aimed to consolidate all existing
banking statutes and the addition
thereto of provisions that will help to
create a model banking system for
Delaware. AS it may be recalled the
association was largely responsible
Tor the enactment of the State Banl
Commissioners Act by the last Legis
iature, ministering to the better pro.
lection of the banking establishments
and greater assurance to the public
Another matter upon which the bank
ers will take definite and unmistak

WHAT THE THUMBS TELL

Many traits of persons character
are revealed by the hands.
The thumb is in itself an interesting
indicator. Small and weak thumbs
denote a character full of weakness,
mental and physical, but the we'll
developed, well-shaped, fairly thick
and correspondingly long thumb fore
tells an evenls balanced character,
with good intellectual powers, toge-
ther with a sense of refinement and
culture.
If the thumb be divided into three
parts, the first part will include the
ns!l, the second the portion called the
joint, and the third the root.
If all three proportions are equal.
the character of the individual is
normal. Should the second part be
thick, the owner is devoid of refine
ment.
If you wish to study the hand care
fully, hold it out openly. When in
this position, should the thumb be set
close to the fingers, it is a sure sign
tnat the possessor is nervous, weak
wi!l,.d, and dependent upon others for
mental strength.
When the thumb stands out to
lar from the fingers, 1t indicates gem
erosity and boldness to a fault, the
lo1e of adventure, and an inclination
to be extravagant in thought as we'll
as in action. People with short,
broad nails are critical, and have a
keen sense fhumor. Imaginative
folk usually have long nails, and are
poetic and ,deeply-sympathetic to-
wards others.
