Food Value Of Potatoes.

That potatoes differ widely in food
value is shown by report OF the gov
ernment's scientific committee. II Is
laid down that the most useful pota-
to for food Is the one which contains
the largest amount Of dry matter.
Where two varieties are practically
equal IN this respect the nitrogen they
contain enters into the estimation Of
their feeding quality,

POLITICAL RIGHTS
Denied the Wives of Civil
Service Employees

Washington debarring of po-
litical activity by federal employees
has been extended to the wives of
these employees by the United States
civil service commission.
The commission has changed the
Anglo-Saxon theory that a man is in
nocent until proven guilty by his ac-
cusers by holding that where the wife
of a federal employe is politically act
i've the husband must prove that he is
not engaged in political activity by
proxy.
Under this order if John Jones, a
postal employe, is married, and his
wife takes time from her household
duties to solicit votes for a congress
man who is pledged to favor better
conditions for postoffice employees,
John Jones is guilty of entering into
collusion with his wife to evade the
order against political activity and
can be dismissed from the service.
The fact that he may bencft through
his wife's action is proof of his guilt,
although she is exercising q voters
right
The post office department has not
flied postmasters and employees of this
order, whick follows:
Prohibited political activity by an
employe does not consist exclusively
IN direct, open, actual, personal par
ticipation in political affairs What
a classified employe is prohibited
from doing independently and direct
ly he may not do indirectly and by col
lusion or cooperation. Collusion is a
fact always open to proof and often
presumed from the relation of the par
ties and the manifest motive based on
supposed or intended beneficial re-
suits to the persons involved. If a
husband or wife of an employe in a
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-04-16

competitive position engages in po-
litical activity for the benefit of such
employe the presumption of colusion
is immediate and strong and casts
upon the employe the burden of over
coming the assumption by affirmative
proof.
"The commission is of the opinion,
therefore, that evasion of the rule by
an employe through activities of wife
or husband will be found the easiest
of all forms of collusion to discover,
establish, and punish"

FINANCIAL RELIEF
 FOR OHIO CITIES

Columbus o, Nov. 26 - Financial relief for cities is expected at the hands of the state legislature which convenes here in January.
 The legislators may accept the view of Governor-elect Davis in this matter. He is an advocate of home rule in taxation.
 The legislators also, in all proba- bility, will give serious consideration to a permanent taxation plan which ezb cling drawn up by a committee composed of representatives of vari- ous chambers of commerce through out the state, Ohio State Grange, Ohio Home rotective League, the Ohio Taxpayers League, Ohio Real Estate Board and other seml-civic organizations.
 This committee recommended that the Smith one cent tax law be re- pea1ed for a few years and that a systematic study of taxation matters be made with a view to reaching a permanent solution. The Home Pro- tective League opposed classification of property 1or taxation purposes, whiel the Taxpayers League support ed classification.

BITUNIINOUS COAL
 PRODUCTION STEADIER

Dubois, Pa-, Nov. 26.-Decision of the coal producers of this section to eliminate some of the middle men and their profits has steadied the spot market in the last few days and bitu- 7ninuous coal that was being sold from $4.25 to $5.50 a ton is holding close to the $5 mark or slightly under.
 The props were knocked from un- der the price by the decision of the operators and brokers who had been selling coal around $5 and $7 a ton. There was a bad slump and prices dropped down to $4 and $4.5O per ton, but the price gradually rose to around S5. There is a better demand and more cars available and the mar ket generally is on steadier basis.
 The mines are working steadily in this district and the car supply is 100 per cent. of normal now.

GAS SHORTAGE
 CLOSES PLANTS

Clarksburgh, w. Va, Nov. 26-Be- cause of shortage of natural gas, five gas plants. the Norwood, the and the Arko-Agate Marble, have been forced to suspend operations here.
 Reports from all parts of West Vir- ginia tell of an acute gas shortage in several industrial centres, due to the first cold spell of the present Winter. The gas supply has been inadequate in recent years and when every cold spell comes preference is given the domestic consumers The plants which suffer the most through curtailment of the gas supply are largely glass factories and if the sus- pension is in force any considerable length of time a decided curtailment of the output is probable.
 Many hand plant factories affiliated with the National Association of Win dow Glass Manufacturers centre in the West Virginia gas belt and prac- tically all the plants in two sections have blocked their fires.
 Window glass factories are opera ting on the second period, and owing other operating difficulties of the year, 1t is predicted that a shortage of glass will occur.
 Among the plants which are block ed are the Liberty Window Glass and West Fork Glass of Clarksburg in addition to the four named above; Premier Window Glass and Penn Window Glass of Pennsboro; Pioneer Window Glass, of Marietta, and Fair mont Window Glass, of Fairmont. Factories at Pleasantville, .Ohio, are also closed.
 Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 26-At the offices of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company and the American Window Glass Company, leaders of the Pitts burgh glass industry, it was stated that the plants of these two great concerns, located in Western Penn sylvania, Indiana and other States. have thus far escaped any fuel prob lem.

sPRAYING CLOUDS
 WITH LIQUID AIR

Calgary, Alta, Nov 26.-A- E. Cole, formerly of the Royal Flying Corps has organized the Aerial Irrigation Company here to produce rain by spraying clouds with liquid air.
 Clouds that trail uselessly across rain dairies gone to waste for lack of milkmaid. He hopes to pc come the milkmaid of the clouds.

 When his company Is in operation and rain Is needed Cole declares he will fly up among the clouds Tn an airplane equipped with a pump gun that shoots liquid air instead ot bullets. Skimming lightly about some nebulous monster, he Will spray it's snowy sides with frozen air which fall upon the thirsty earth in a re- freshiug shower.
 If Coles unique idea works out, farmers will be able to get rain oy a process as simple turning on a faucet, and millions of dollars Will be Eadded to the productive value or the rapidly settling farm lands or west ern Canada.

PRICES ON FOODSTUJFFS
 TODROP EARLYN YEAR

Pittsburgh, Nov. 26 = James F. Malone, director of city purchases, has just informed the Pittsburgh City Council, which is now making up the budget for next year, that foodstuffs, clothing, building materials and com modities used by the average family can be expected to drop in price from 5 to 25 per.cent. early in the new year. He said indications in the wholesale markets were that high price would soon be a thing of the past in Pittsburgh.
 The director, basis of compari- son with 1919, furnished a table of prices of commodities to the city a year ago on competitive bidding, along with present-day prices on the same ba is. He said the consumer ought not to pay over 10 per cent. above the price quoted to the city, but in some instances the prevailing retail price is nearly 100 per cent. higher than the price paid by the city. Especially is this true of the price of fresh eggs, which are now selling in the Diamond market as high as 95 cents per dozen. April eggs are quoted, retail, at 6s cents. The price paid by the city for fresh eggs is 52 F cents, according to Director Malone.
 The comparative table as prepared by Malone for 1919 and-1920 based on quotations in the open market, follows. Gents per ID.

WHY BE DIsCoURAGED?
fBy International News service.)


 New York, Nov. 26-To put new heart into discouraged men the fol- lowing is published in the Sing Sing Bulletin, a newspaper published and circulated among the inmates of the famous prison:
 Remember this:
 When braham Lincoln was young man he ran for the Legislature in Illinois and was badly swamped.
 He next entered business, failed, and spent seventeen years of his life paying up the debts of worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful young woman to whom he became en- gaged-then~ she died.
 Later he married a woman who was a constant burden to him.
 Entering politics again he ran for Congress and was badly defeated. He then tried to ge. an appoint ment to the United, States Land Off, fee, but failed.
 He became a candidate for the United States Senate and was badly defeated.
 In 1856 he became a candidate for the vice-presiden and was again de- feated.
 In 1858 he was defeated by Doug las.
 One failure after another-bad d face of all this he eventually became one of the country's greatest men, If not the greatest. When you think of a series of set backs like this doesn't it make you feel kind of small to become discour- aged just because you think you are having a hard time in life?

SURGERY WITHOUT PAIN,

ChlorofoT-n was not discovered by Sir James Simpson. It was the fa- nous English surgeon, however, who sixteen years after the anesthetic was first discovered in 1881, began his experiments. He boldly tried chlor- oform on himself and two colleagues to test it's effect, and the three were discovered one day lying on the floor apparently dead. They recovered and compared notes, and so chloroform came into general surgical use
