The bill of Representative Reavis in
the House has been sent to the com
nittee on expenditures in the Interior
Department, which has not sufficient
jurisdiction to handle proposition Of

the matter up with the Republican le-

upon it the desirability Of appointing

Meanwhile the resolution Of Rep
resentative Moore has been sent to
the rules committee, and it may prove
a working basis for general reorgan-

vices having for their primary pur-
pose the construction and operation

struction character and to act as a
contracting agency for the perfor-
nance of such works for other ser
vices where called upon by such ser

BUSINESS TALKS
PROVE HELPFUL
Series Of Addresses Given By Citizens
At Quinn Drug Co. This Week
Mr.. King Speaks.

The fifteen minute talks which are
being delivered each evening this week
at the J. W. Quinn Drug Co., by the
business men of the city, are proving
to be thoroughly interesting and in
structive. The business men are dis
cussing live issues, which are con-
fronting the people today.
The first meeting of the week was
held Monday and Mr.. r. C. King de-
livered an able address on "The Value
of A Dollar Saved" Mr. King stat
ed that it was most proper that the
business men shoud meet in their own
community to discuss the fundamen-
tails upon which the personal, busi-
ness, social and, eternal structures are
based.
at is proper for US to consider
those things that may stimulate US to
adopt habits of thrift and saving with
a view of using the saved dollar for
the betterment of the individuals as
we'll as for the public" said Mr.. King.
eve can hardly think of saving
without also thinking Of spend
ing. We cannot save successfully
without dealing intensely with the
problem of spending. With given
income, the more successful we are in
saving. the more successful we must
be in regulating our spending 80
the two words, saving and spending
must 60 together. The problem Of
every individual is how to save, how
to accumulate a capital fund, without
depriving himself of the enjoyments
and convenience Of life"
Mr.. King summed up the test of an
individual in the following statement
"The real test Of personal capacity
is shown by the ability of an indiV-
idual, who is capable of saving a work
ing capital for the future and at the
same time so provide for the home
that he may bear full part in the
activities and the enjoyments Of the
present"
Mr. King closed his address by Civ
ing three divisions Of the human race;
those who retrograde; those who re-
main stationary and those who prog
ress. mo one wants to class with
those who retrograde," he said. Per
hans no one wants to be in the class
who remain stationary. No doubt ev'
cry one has a latent ambition. Oul
chances for. being in the class that
progresses would be greatly enhanced
liz we begin today by providing for th'
rainy day Let us resolve here ant
now that we will begin to save oul
dollars"

GRAIN MARKET CRASHES
Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 21--Prices crash
ed heavily on the grain market dur
ing the last few minutes of trading
today. Corn fell as much as 8 ga
cents per bushel. The liquidation was
due to the weakness of the stock mar
ket. The chief apparent reason that
