PEOPLE AL GIVE
But ALL WORKERS
ARE NOT WORKING
However, Chairman Scott is
Pleased Over Home
Service Results.

we do not know Just how we
stand" observed John S. Scott city
chairman In the Home Service Appeal
Of The Salvation Army, al noon today.
I'VE have nothing but encouraging re-
ports from workers but are NOT In
formed as yet just how many workers
are on the Job. The workers in some
Of the wards were slow getting started
and while the ward captains doubtless
have things well In hand We are un
easy at headquarters.
"One encouraging phase Of the at'
uation is the cheerfulness with which
people are giving" continued Mr..
Scott. There have not been enough
refusals TO attract attention. Every
one in Fairmont Is anxious to help
support The Salvation Army. The
only drawback Is the difficulty IN get
ting workers to work The weather
this morning has not been ideal for
canvassing and earlier during the
week It looked like rain. or was very
warm. or there was some other cause
for excuse.
-The work being done in the wards
which are making frequent reports u
very encouraging. Mrs Joseph Grtms.

GRAIN GAMBLING
Will Introduce Bill to Stop
Deals in Futures

SMITH CENTER, Kan. Oct. 14.-Gam-
bling in grain futures viii be prohibited
If a bill drafted by Senator Arthur Cap
per passes the next Congress.
Declaring the grain gamblers" are
double-crossing both producer and con-
sumner, running down the price until the
farmer is forced to sell, and then run
ming up the cost to the buying public.
Capper told an audience here he had
drawn a bill ito put this den Of thieves
out of business"
Capper said the war had proved the
country could get along without trading
in grain futures.
Capper said grain gamblers have made
the Exchange Building in Chicago the
worlds greatest gambling house"
BY comparison Europe's Suicide Club"
at Monte Carlo is as innocent and in
nocuous as a church bazaar.
