MAY OPPOSE APPOINTMENT
OF TUMULTY IF MADE

1t is intimated at the Capitol that
there is little likelihood of the Sem
ate confirming any of the Presidents
appointments made since the adj
journment of the last session on June
5th. The refusal to confirm will prob
ably extend to Mr.. Tumulty should
he be appointed to the chief Justice
ship Of the Court of Customs Appeals,
as it is rumored he will be. With him
on the court it would consist Of three
Democrats and two Republicans, a
condition that does not appeal to a
Republican Congress on the eve of
passing new Republican protective
tariff bill, the final interpretation Of
which would rest with that court. 1t
is understood that opposition to Mr..
Tumulty would come not only from
Republican Senators, but from many
Democrats who are out-spoken critics
of Wilson.

WOMAN SHERIFF SAYS
WOMEN OPPOSED HER

y e. 81 81 4 "a
BEULAH, Mich. Politics won
be any nicer, now that women are
In. You can bank on that" declares
Mrs. Estelle Gates, sheriff-elect of
Benzie county, Michigan.
Matronly, about fifty years old, she
gives the impression that she knows
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
women in politics are going to be
.disillusioned.
1.-THE women didn't support me in
my election, and never knew be-
fore I ran for the office that I had
an enemey. Besides bucking me, they
thought up more subtitle methods of
attack than any man ever could, and,
believe me, I'll trust to the support
Of men every time"
Mrs. Gates received majority of
ninety-four votes, but she credits
none Of her votes to the women Of
her community.

"A few days ago the French wife Of

crime was not known until the first

AT $50 the first fiat hunters ar

First the invitations were mailed.
These were written on correspond

Farmer Gets Three
Cents From Dime
Spent for Bread

CHICAGO. Criticism directed at
organized grain exchanges when
wheat prices, with all other commo-
dities, began tumbling several weeks
ago. has materially decreased, ac-
cording to agricultural economists.
Many agricultural publications
now are aiming criticism at the Fed
eral Reserve Board, declaring that
the so per cent increase in discount
rates during the last year has work
ed tremendous hardship on the
farmer. Grain men say that the price

bumper crops and other economic
factors, madesthe fall of grain prices

With the grain exchanges free
from the unwarranted charges Of
attempted price control, attention for
the time is being conferred on the
baker and his profit. In this con-
nection the National Crop. Improve

esting discussion Taking as a work.
ing basis wheat at $2.26 bushel
III SHlCdSU, Lie dSSOCldIlOH says.
1.-THE farmer gets his cash at the
elevator, $2.13; the elevator takes 5
cents a bushel; ten days interest at
~ per cent would be .0047; weigh
ing and inspection would be .0014;
freight and tax would be .0494, and
the grain commission takes per
cent, or .0226 a bushel." These fig
ures, it is stated, represent the total
received by each person from bread
at ten cents, "a reasonable price with
wheat at $2.26." The farmer gets a
little more than three cents, the ba-
ker sells for eight cents and gets
about four ind two-thirds cents Of
the ten cents, and the retailer gets
two cents, according to the associa-
ton.
The grain commission man, whose
commission is so small, finances the
whole transaction up to the time he
received the wheat and sells it to the
miller.

NEAR SLAVES GET
STARVATION WAGES

CALCUTTA, India - Official doc.
uments recently published, which
cannot be suspected of propaganda
show clearly the condition of near
slavery in which the subject work
er is held in India by their masters
the British.
In 1917 the salary Of an agricul-
tural labor amounted to from four
to sixteen cents day. Since then
there has been an augmentation OF
only twenty-five percent despite the
fact that the cost of living has in
creased for than forty-five per cent,
The British India Steam Naviga-
ton Company has not changed the
salary rate of its workers for forty
five years during which the cost of
living has more than doubled. The
same thing is true Of hundreds of
other British-controlled industries
where the employees are living in a
state of indescribable misery.
In the United Provinces in 1918
the munificent salary of manual la
borers in factories was from fifty
cents to one dollar week. In the
wooden industry of the north the
monthly pay averaged only $500.
Among the workers in the jute fac
tories of Calcutta there are many
who earn only sixty-six cents week.
In the coal mining industry the
figures are even more terrible. The
Indian miners of Bengal receive on
ly rs cents per ton mined as COM
pared with about $500 paid the
English miners engaged in exactly
the same work.
In 1918 the English worker was
required to labor only eight and one
half hours day and nineteen days
a month, and was paid a daily salary
of $500. But the Indian miner, re-
quired to work eleven hours day
for twenty-seven days month re-
ceived only Is cents day.
These salaries are barely sufficient
to feed the worker himself, leaving
out his family, and when he wishes
to buy clothes he must starve sew
eral weeks in order to save the
/. And this in spite of the great con-.
cessions to labor in Great Britain by
the same government which holds the
Indian in slavery.

asked for a divorce from Albert G..
Koch, well-known local real estate
dealer.
Denying the accusation Of his wife
Koch told the court he put out the
lights in his wife's room at q hospital
so that the attendants would think
he had gone and remained at his
wife's bedside beyond the time per-
mitted by the hospital rules. He then
asked for a divorce.
He charged that repeatedly since
three days after their marriage,
which took place thirteen years ago,
his wife told him she made mis-
take" in marrying him and did not
love him.
Once he tried to kiss his wife, he
said, but she pushed him from her

ANNOUNCE THEORY
OF SEX CONTROL
FOR FARM ANIMALS
Definite Theory A d
vanced by University
Of Idaho Professor
Is.in Demand

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Definite theories announced as the
result of research work in sex con-
troll among farm animals recently
completed by DR.. j. e. Wodsedalek,
head Of the department Of zoology
and entomology at the University Of
Idaho, are attracting the attention
of leading scientists not only in the
United States, but in Latin America
and in Europe. An article by DR..
WOdsedalek on the subject was given
a prominent position in a recent is
sue Of the Biological Bulletin"
The results of this research are
said to have very important bear
ing on heredity in Livestock and the
university daily receives from var
ious parts of the country requests for
reprints Of DR.. Wodsedalek's article.
As DR.. Wodsedalek spends virtually
all his vacations and his leisure"
hours on research, his recently pub
hshed paper offers the results of Isl
months of constant, rainstaking mi
scroscopic work on the sex cells Of
cattle.
Inc problem was supported by che
Adams fund of the Agricultural Elk
pertinent station. LII commenting on
the experiment Dean e. J. Ladings,
director of the experiment station
and head of the College Of Agricul-
ture, said, This most interesting pa
per by DR.. Wodsedalek represents a |
piece of truly fundamental research.
It has been the special merit Of sex
control and appeals equally to those
concerned in the practical operation
in animal production and animal i'm
provement. have found that many
animal husbandry specialists have
been intensely interested in, and have
followed closely DR.. Wodsedalek's re-
search. The paper is most valuable
contribution to animal literature.
