other lines OF trade and an acute Sit

My opinion. is" he said, that con-
gress, by prompt legislative enactment
should restrict the issue of every
newspaper in- the United States to u
maximum of SO many pages per day
and in such an act define naa&imuns
page size. Large userseef print paper

should keep out of the. spot market.
Congress should ALSO make a substan-
Il riai appropriation for a determined eff
fort to find a substitute for wood
pulp. 81
President P. T, Dodge of the Inter
national Paper Company, predicted
even higher prices for newsprint pa;
iper due to ths threatened rise in

bodied men of Kentucky who do not
want to work must be made to work,
and the rule is just as good in time of
peace as in time of war. the Senate
decided yesterday in passing a bill
drawn toward that end by Senator r
c. Simmons, of Covington
The bill, which passed by vote of
thirty to six, provides for continuation
of the wartime emergency act Gre
ated for the duration of the war only

in the State between the ages of 16
and so who fails to work at least 36
hours week shall be held vagrant
The punishment is set at fine of $40
to 500, and in addition the offender
must work at least 60 days on the pub
lie roads or streets. or on some other
public work of the county or munich
pality in which he is convicted. An
amount equal to one-half of the fair
value of such labor is required by the
bill to be paid by the county or munic-
ipality toward the support of any per-
sons dependant on the vagrant.
Senator Baker, who led the union
labor" fight against the se1ition bill
last Friday, again waged an unsuccess-
full fight against the vagrancy bill. He
rallied but five other votes to his side
those of Senators Stoll. Early. Metz.
ger. Watts and Moses. All are Repub
licans. Senator Baker said that court
inimical to organized labor could use
the act as basis for arresting men fol
going on strike.

Wife HERE WHERE
She HAS RELATIVES
Mrs. Elizabeth Linder, Just Recover
ing From Influenza, MysteriOusly
Disappears From Her Home at
Parkville, No..

Chief OF Police Harry A. Ort has re-
ceived a telegram from MIR. Fred Lin
der, of Parksville, Missouri, asking
him to assist in the search for Mrs
Elizabeth LiDder, who mysteriously
disappeared from her home in Park
vile on last Friday no reason being
given for the mysterious disappear
ance.
Mrs. Linder is a daughter of Mr.. H.
L. Horney, of Commerce street, this
city and has number of other rela-
tives throughout the county. She is
said to be just recovering from Sc
we're attack of influenza and this may
have some bearin0 on her mysterious
ly leaving her home.
When Mr.. Horney was asked last
night if his daughter was at his home,
he was very surprised and much an
noyed at the report of her disappear
ance from her home. The information
conveyed to him by the police was the
first knowledge he had received of the
daughters disappearance. She was not
at his home and he Immediately took
up the search to learn if she was at
the home of any of her relatives
throughout the county but as yet the
woman has not been located.
A desperate effort is being made by
the husband from his Missouri home
and the other relatives at this end to
| locate the woman and police of vari-
GUS cities have had their support en-
| listed
