ODD FASHIONS ABROAD.

= A letter from Cairo tells me that the
season in that beautiful city has been as
brilliant as in any pre-war year. large
number of English people are staying
there, among them Lord and Lady Car
narvon and Lady Evelyn Herbert, who
have Leen to Egypt for several months.
Mrs. EinOr Glyn is also in Cairo and has
created quite a sensation. She has been
wearing wonderful clothes and recently
attended dinner given by the sultan at
his palace in a gown Of cloth Of silver with
a wreath OF vivid green leaves III her red
hair and with emerald and diamond
earrings so long that they hung almost TO
her shoulders. 1t is said that one Of the
court officials who has a perfect knowledge
Of English. remarked 20 an Englshman
who was present that he was interested TO

her books, he said, with smile, and
can now imagine how easy it must have
been for her 70 write II.
I am told that at one Of the smart
London dance clubs the other night, a
certain beautiful and wcl-known Amorl-
can woman who is the wife Of million
airc appeared in a gown OF gorgeous pink
and silver brocadC, many ropes oi pearls,
silver diamond buckled slippers and no
stockings! A rumor Of stocknglcss

tration Of this curious freak Of fashion
don't believe that even the most bizarre
English woman striving TO make a sensa-
ton viii take kindly to the no stocking
idea. A lot OF well-dressed women,
among them Lady Tichheld, are wearing
stockings with fine black lace let in up tbs
fronts, but this, after all, IS only the re-
vlval of mode Of perhaps 20 years ago
But even fine lace is q covering or rather 8

DENIED RIGHT
TO SELL STOCK
STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
CATTLE LOAN SOCIETY.

Pierre, April 24.-The state secur-
tiles commission has refused a per-
nit to sell stock in this state to the
Federal Cattle Loan society, of Des
Moines, Iowa.
This action was taken on the
ground that their method of stock
selling looks too much like "high fl
nance" to suit the securities COM
mission.
They ask permission to sell 50,-
900 shares of their stock at 5000 per
share, and then enter into a contract
with the Bankers Finance corpor-
alton to sell the stock and make a re-
turn of $112.50 on each share of
preferred stock sold, and in addition
agree to turn over to the selling cor
poration s1.000,00O of the common
stock of the company as a bonus.
The plan does not appeal to the
securities commission of this state
and no licenses will be issued to
statesmen of their stock in South Da.

SUGAR FAMINE
IS THREATENED
DEALERS URGE HOUSEWIVES TO
BE ECONOMICAL.

Sioux City, April 24.-Strict econ
omy in the use of sugar is enjoined
by dealers if serious famine is to
be averted. Stocks of Sioux City job
bers have been reduced to a low
level. The greater part of the sup
ply is believed to be in the hands of
the retailers and their customers
The immediate situation is not as
threatening as it might be, but a
warning note of conservation is
sounded in Sioux City, not only by
the wholesaler, but by the retailer.
Sugar is selling in Sioux City by
most dealers at 20 cents a pound,
with quantity limitation by many
dealers of Is cents worth at one pur-
chase.
Prices are rising above all pre-
vious expectations. There will be
sufficient stock for all moderate and
legitimate uses of sugar if the neces-
sary care and economy is exercised
in purchase and consumption.
Prediction is again made that
sugar will go to 35 cents a pound be-
fore the season passes. A number of
weeks ago it was asserted 25 cents
pound would be demanded. That
statement was regarded as impossi-
BILE of verification by many Sioux
City consumers, the dealers state.
That figure has already been exceed
ed at wholesale in the east, according
to advices coming to Sioux City job
bers. At sales in the east sugar sold
at 26 cents at wholesale and % cents
at retail.
In some cities the wholesaler is
now exacting 28 cents of the retail
er. Within the past few days refin-
ers in the east paid $3.50 hundred
pounds for raw sugar, an advance of
cents within two weeks, advices
coming to Sioux City assert. Upon
that basis the ultimate price to the
grocer, it is stated, should be 27 or
% cents a pound.
Many jobbers are buying all the
sugar they can find on the market.
The Cuban crop has been exhausted
and South American countries will
be looked to for a portion of the
necessary supply of raw sugar.

'PUssYFOOT' JOHNSON
RETURNS TO AMERICA
PROHIBITION CRUSADER SAYS
HE FOUND ONLY ONE REAL
DRY COUNTRY ABROAD.

New York, April 24.-William E.
"Pussyfoot" Johnson, of Westerville,
Ohio, returned here from Liverpool
on the steamer New York after lit
orally having given an eye to make
England dry. The crusading agent
of the American Anti-Saloon league
was met by host of prohibition ad-
vocates.
Last year Johnson was detailed by
the league to open an office in Lon
don. There he soon announced that
a vigorous movement was afoot to
make the British isles dry, and the
press ridiculed him. Last November
he was "mobbed' by London medical
students. In the struggle a missile
struck him in the eye and ruptured
an eyeball. Infection set in and an
operation removed the eye. John
son at once ordered a glass eye and
wrote the students he had enioyed
their lark and entertained no hard
feelings.
From that moment the tide of pub
opihioi tulhSu. III tHt place vi
idicule Johnson found respect and
~dmiration and he was a good
sport" King George expressed regret
over "ragging" of him.
Since he lost an eye Johnson has
visited, in the interest of prohibition,
southern France, Paris, Copenhagen
and Algiers.
Johnson won his nickname of
"Pussyfoot" as federal agent in the
far west, after President Roosevelt
had appointed him to run down
liquor peddlers in the Indian reser-
vations and adjacent territory.
Thirty years ago he was student
| of the University of Nebraska. 1t
was after leaving the government
service that he became a general
agent and publicity man for the An
ti-Saloon league.
Johnson continued his anti-saloon
work on the steamer coming home by
addressing the cabin and steerage
passengers. He said in his European
and North African travels he had got
as far as the desert of Sahara be-
fore he found real "dry" country

INSIST GERMANY
MUST D|SARN|
SHOULD NOT HAVE ARMY ABOVE
100000 MEN.

Berlin, April 24.-The allied mill
tary observers in Germany have de-
cided that the German government
should not be allowed a single man
in it's armies above the 100000 per
mitted by the Versailles treaty. The
decision became known shortly after
Berlin authorities had dispatched a
note to the council of premiers meet
ing in San Reno, asking permission
to increase the German armie to
100000.
The military observers decisision
also included the following: That
Reichswehr should be withdrawn
completely from the Ruhr district
Ruhr workmen should be disarmed
delivering their weapons to the allies
who would destroy them on the spit
the dissolution of all German civil
guards.

\. J. MUNRO DIES
IN CALIFORNIA
MADISON BUSINESS MAN
SUCCUNBS TO INROADS OF
WASTING DISEASE.

A telegram reached this city last
night apprising friends here of the
death in Los Angeles, Cal, very re-
Gently of Harry J. Munro who for
many years carried on successful
lines of business in this city. Full
particulars of the death of this
prominent citizen and well known
Mason will doubtless be sent forward
before the remains are placed on the
train for shipment back to this place
where the deceased had a large cir
Gle of intimate friends.
Harry Jason Munro came to the
village of Winfred about the year of
1884. For a number of years he
worked on ranch for his uncle, c.
c. Jerome. Later he took position
as clerk in the j. l.. Harrington store
in that village. In 1887 he took full
charge of the c. H. Morse general
store at Winfred. for four years. The
deceased came to Madison in 1894
and bought the grocery store con-
Quoted by j. B. Jones & Son. The fol-
lowing year he was united in marri-
age to Edith L., daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. III. Morse. She preceded him
in death on Oct. S, 1898.
On January 6, 1896, Mr.. Morse
moved his stock of merchandise to
Madison and engaged in a general
store business under the name of
Morse G. Munro. In 1902 deceased
married Miss Burd Benway, of Wau-
pun, Wis, who survives him. Other
survivors are a sister, Mrs. Frances
Shindahl, of Arlington, this state,
and brother, w. H. Munro, of May
wood, Ill.
In the year 1904 deceased with
drew from the above mentioned firm
to take position as travelling sales
man for Hornby-Nicholas & Parker,
of Pipestone, Mimi. In 1908 he
bought the grocery business of VIM.
Schnack in this city and continued
in personal charge until last Novem-
Der, when failing health compelled
him to retire from active business.
His death removes a man who was
greatly interested in the civic i'm
provement of Madison. Madison is
one in offering sympathy to the
grieving widow and relatives.

COLD WEATHER
DURING WEEK
STATE WEATHER BUREAU GIVES
WEEKLY REVIEW OF AGRI-
CULTURAL CONDITIONS.

Huron, April 24.-M. E. Blystone,
meteorologist of the state weather
bureau office here, has issued the fol-
lowing report of conditions in South
Dakota for the week:
Cold weather prevailed during the
week, though on few days the tenn
perature was near normal. At the
beginning the weather was generally
fair but during the greater part
cloudiness prevailed and occasional
moderate to heavy rain occurred. In
the southern part of the state there
was considerable snowfall, and in the
Black Hills region the snowfall was
heavy. There was a decided defi-
cheney of sunshine. In the early part
of the week conditions were fairly
favorable for plowiEg and seeding
but this work was again retarded by
the rain and snow of the middle and
latter parts. In the southeastern
part of the state the seeding of small
grain has neared completion. Some
potatoes have been planted in a few
localities. Winter grain, alfalfa
meadows and pastures are growing
slowly, due to the cold weather
Stock suffered greatly from the snow
and cold rain, and where weakened
by scarcity of feed, heavy losses are
indicated, especially in the western
part of the state. Due to the slow
growth of pastures the feed scarcity
is increasing.

PLAN TAXATION
TO RAISE BONUS
REPUBLICANS ON HOUSE WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE
AGREE ON TAX PLAN.

Washington, April PA tax on
all stock exchange transactions equal
to the brokers' commission, has been
agreed on tentatively by republican
members of the house ways and
means committee as one of the new
levies for raising money for the sol
dier bonus legislation.
Three other levies for raising the
money similarly have been adopted
by the republicans. These are one
consumers, a new levy on incomes
probably in excess of $4,000, and an
increase of approximately 15 per cent
of existing taxes on tobacco and ci-
gars.
These four forms of taxes would
remain in effect two years and the
republicans estimate that they would
net about s1,50O,0O0,0O0 for soldier
relief. They will be incorporated in
the legislation to be presented in the
house for adoption May 3.
Committeeman predicted that th'
four fold plan of taxation would no
be changed.
Committeeman declared that re
gardless of the form the taxation ul
timately would be borne by the con
sumer. They estimated that mor'
than 20 exchanges, including Wal
street. the Chicago board of trad'
and the New Orleans cotton ex
change, would be effected by the ia,
on stock transactions.

POLITICAL ISSUE
y PEACE OR WAR
COUNTRY MUST BE PEPARED TO
SEE WILSON NOMINATED,
SAYS j. H. LEWIS.

Wichita, Kan, April 24.-The
country must be prepared to see the
democratic convention at San Fran
cisco nominate President Wilson for
a third term, J. Hamilton Lewis, for
mer senator from Illinois, told Kan
sas democrats, gathered here in state
convention.
"The country must be ready" he
said, "to see the convention at San
Francisco put Wilson up as its can
didate before the nation as a protest
against the treaty of peace being tor
tured into a pact of revenge on ma
tions and license of murder of men,
and command for raids and invasions
upon oppressed and suffering peo-
pies"
The political issue of 1920 is to be
peace or war;" he said-"the league
for world peace, or open license for
world war" The candidates must
be those who stand on the issue. If
the democrats are to oppose the
league, he suggested as suitable can
didates William Randolph Hearst,
from the east, or Senator James A.
Reed from the west.
The faults of the present admins
tration, he said, have been against
itself. President Wilson, has refus-
ed to recreate party administration,
he declared, and has kept republi-
o,pc in office Now he said these
captains of political job industry re-
ward Wilson's generosity by ingrati-
tude of conduct and insults and

as a victory for Premier Venizelos.
