TINT BuSISIsS FIELD.

MODERATED ACTIVITY IN ousAheS'
manifesting itself in varying degrees
and most noticeable In the east Is
primarily the result Of weather
drawbacks, financial tendencies, and
price considerations, altho contrteut-
ing factors are present.
The restraining influence Of re-
cent severe storms. which have az
gravated an already seriously con-
gested transportation situation, is
still discernaole In delayed move
ments OF raw material and other
merchandise, further impending
operations OF many establishments
where stable orders are pressing for
shipment, and the deleterious effects
have also been seen in a lessened
distribution OF goods at retail. Wiki
the approach Of spring and tho ad-
vent of more unsettled weather, such
phases as these might conceiva5ly
disappear or be appreciably modified
II other restrictive elements were
absent; but the process OF credit
dehation, reflected in the closer con-
troll OF banking accommodation,
makes for increasing caution in -om.
mercial undertakings and more
widespread and confident expecta-
ton OF price readjustment is an
added cause for hesitation.
That the initiative in some trans
actions rests with sellers, rather than
with buyers, is Evidenced by reports
from such important lines as textiles
and hides and leather. where de-
mands have subsidized and the market
cone is eascier, and competitive bid
ding for iron and steel supplies is
less apparent than formerly, and
price advances in this quarter are
fewer in number.
Generally the price trend, as dis
closed in Dun's comprehensive list
OF wholesale quotations, continues
downward, while resistance to the
extreme prices is growing in con-
Stunning channels, and many mer-
chants have become more conserva-
tive in re-Ordering, pending a clear
er insight into the future. Attic
statistics Of bank clearings thus far
fail to reveal a well defined tendency
toward contraction, yet the country's
business is of reduced magnitude,
and the price question enters largely
into any explanation of the abate-
ment Of activity.

RUSSIAN MADNESS CHECKED.

Out Of the political darkness and
chaos in Russia come messages of a
willingness to check their madman's
course OF running amuck. In return
for the recognition of other nations
whereby commerce can be restored
and the square meal once again
brought into that land, the runaors
are that the ignorant and unwashed
classes of society are to be dethroned,
a constituent assembly called and an
effort made TO establish repre-
sentative government
The murders and robberies con-
Quoted in the name Of the common
people by the thug element of society
are to be excused as the madness OF
the mob. The excuses that have al
ways happened in history whenever

NORTH IOWA FARMS BUSY.

A visit at the receiving end OF the
freight yards at Northwood would
convince any one interested OF the
influx Of real farmers into Worth
county, and no danger Of unoccu-
pied farms. For instance, j. S. Jas
pers, of Wellsburg. has just arrived
with four car loads Of farm equip
ment and stock for his 700-acre farm
which he purchased last summer.

spondents IL that they see a few

verify it North Iowa land is COM

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN
EGG.
CHAPTER w.


Ny master (for 30 I love to call
him) was not merely a rich man. He
was q great connoiseur. as we'll. AT
last my perfect lines and blonde
loneliness evoked true appreciation.
My master regarded me with pas
sionate affection. His feelings, how
ever. were on far higher plane
than those Of the brunette egg OF
whom have already told you. There
was nothing brutal In his passion.
And yet must confess. there was
a Freuo\ln strain In his nature. He
kept me constantly near him in his
boudoir. reposed on a chaste onyx
table where his rayished eye could
rest upon me as II closed in sleep
and as it nuttered open to the light
of morn. =
So deIicately perfect was my ro-
tundity that even the slightest
zephyr would send me careening
across the polished onyx surface.
Only little voluted ridge around the
tables edge saved me from the ca
tastrophe of the floor.
My master would start from bed
In an agony Of fear at these mo-
nnents and then, as he saw me hest
tate at the brink of disaster, sink
back in ecstacy of relief Finally he
could resist the complete fascination
of this dangerous emotion no longer.
He hired four expert jugglers
whom he could call into his apart
ments at a moments notice.
At first thought he would let them
toss me from one TO another, drag
me from silk hat. extract me from
his ear and perform the other coarse
tricks Of their disgusting profess
sion. But not 30.
Ny masters tastes were never vul-
gar. Stationing one on each side Of
the table he would seize a corner
and lifting by almost imperceptible
degrees tilt me clear off tho smooth
surface, thru tho air and into the

election of Senate officers nominal
ted in a Democratic caucus by nam
ing a Senate Rules Committee, en-
powered to draft rules to govern
Senate Proceedings and to name the
Senate's standing committees.
Only Democrats have places on the
Senate Rules Committee, headed by
President Pro Tenn Charles M. Har-

members are Glen Num-, Marion

This is the most powerful commit
tee that either house can have, it
being almost in absolute control of
legislation during the last ten days
of the session, when the fate of
many measures depends ON whether
they are brought up for action.
The joint resolution calling for

action of the Democratic majority
was departure from custom, where
upon he was shown that two former
Republican Lieutenant Governors
were not permitted to name the Sen
ate standing committees.
William A. Perry, Louisville, told
Mr.. Brock that if he wished a prece-
dent he could find one i'm the action
of the Republican members of the
United States Senate, who, by the
narrow margin Of one vote, were
enabled to organize the Senate.
Without a dissenting vote the SEN
ate adopted a resolution offered by
Senator Num- calling on the United
States Senate to ratify without fur
Their unnecessary delay the Versailles
peace treaty, including the League of
Nations covenant, without reserva-
tons. The Republican members
seemed to have been mapping at the
time, as, after the resolution had
been declared adopted Senator Antle,
jamestown, said he wished to offer
an amendment.
The Senate also adopted resolu-
ton offered by Senator Harlan, com
mending the Department of Justice,
and the American Legion for their

plan, one looking to submission OF
the matter to the voters of Ken
lucky next November. This substitute
was defeated by vote Of % to Is.
The Federal Amendment plan was
voted ON in the House without de-
bate.
Several lively tits were precipi-
tated in the Senate by introduction of
the resolution by Senator Simmons,
Covington, naming nine Democrats to
constitute the Senate Rules Commit
tee.
Hiram Brock, minority leader, OPP
posed the measure on the ground that
voters of Kentucky have made known
their wishes regarding control in the
Senate by the 10000 majority given
the Republicans in the November
election. He said it was the right. of
the Lieutenant Governor, by virtue of
which office he is president Of the
Senate, to name all standing commit
tees of that body, and that the Dem
ocrats should not deprive him of that
privilege.
Senator Harris defended the reso-
luton, declaring that the Democratic
Senators were taking nothing from
the presiding officer.
"We but retain in the Senate the
power to regulate its own affairs" he
said, after having declared that it was
never intended that the executive de-
partment of the State should control
the Legislative branch.
"The Senate of Kentucky, by the
people of Kentucky, is Democratic"
he concluded.
Senator Brock contended that the

country.

Senate by vote of 80 to s. 1t pre-
riously passed the House, where il
was introduced by Representative
lazarus, Louisville, by vote of II

Those who voted against it ON final

ton, Haynes Carter, A. A. Demun-
brum, 7. T. Gardner, ]. W. Harlan,

ers, Huntsman, j. w. Johnson, Kelly,
Kimbrough, Knott, Laughlin, Minor,
Nelson, Rogers, Strange, ]. Mack
Thompson, Wheeler, Williamson and
VIM, seven of whom are Republi-
cans.
Senator Harlan, Boyle county, led
the fight against ratification in the
Senate, he advocating instead, woman
suffrage by the State route. He was
warmly backed by Senator Carter,
Hardin county, who prophesied that
if the Federal Amendment becomes
effective the Democrats will never re-
gain ascendency in this State.
Another who made an ardent plea
for States rights in the matter of
woman suffrage was Senator Gard
ner, Bardwell, probably the oldest
member of the upper branch of the
