USEFUL FOR MOTORISTS.

A device expected to meet with
great favor from women motorists,
who always like to see the upholstery
of their enclosed cars free from dust
and CRIME, has recently been placed
on the market.
This is a portable vacuum cleaner.
1t is especially designed for automo-
biles and is operated from the ex-
haust. The exhaust from the mo-
tor creates suction three times
stronger than that of the average
electric vacuum used in the home. The
equipment consists of vacuum bowl,
rubber hose and two attachents-one
an open nozzle used for floor boar DIS
and floor mats; the other brush
employed for the upholstery and
cushions.
The usefulness Of the device, how
ever, is not confined to enclosed cars,
but can be used on cars of any type.
The entire equipment weighs less
than five pounds and occupies but a
very small space.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Guaranty Trust Coz

The tendency of prices in the
wholesale markets to seek 1otNer
levels continues and in some instances
retail prices have been affected. Ideal
growing weather during the last fort
night has influenced the vegetable
markets downward and the continued
good reports of general crop condi-
tions are also favorable to the price
recession tendency. Many observers
are inclined to over-accent the de-
cline in cotton prices as an indication
of an impending downward sweep of
general commodity prices. The situa-
ton in Europe is clearly reflected in
the general uncertainty of business,
and in the prolonged depression of
stock market quotations. Mercantile
business seems to be fairly sustained
despite the continued pressure of
credit stringency. The large number
of recent failures is interpreted as the
inevitable characteristic of readjust-
ment to normal conditions rather
than as an indication of unsound
basic conditions. The financing of
crop movements is proceeding with
less stress upon business than was eX-
pected and evidences the skill with
which preparations were made by the
bankers to meet the extraordinary
demands upon their resources.

AMERICAN LEGION
SEARCHING FOR
MISSING HEROES

New York, Aug. 2S- he American
Legion is making an effort to miti-
gate distressing phase Of the after
math of war. the 1000 personal mys-
teries of the great struggle of men
who are classified in army and navy
lists as missing in action killed in
battle" and presumably killed. The
work has been rewarded with some
success, it is announced. In several
instances the Legion Weekly has OBJ
tanned for a mother more and clearer
details of how her service son died, or
put a wife in touch with the COM
rades of her husband, missing in
action"
Requests of relatives and friends
of soldiers, sailors. marines, and mill
tary nurses about whose fate little is
known, are being sent to newspapers
throughout the country for publica-
ton. Results of this publicity are
carefully tabulated at offices here.
All "buddies,' officers, doctors,
nurses or welfare workers. who may
know something of the person of
| whom information is sought, are in
vited to communicate with the friends
| or relatives. Each week long list
| of >"mysteries'' are published in the
Legion's organ and frequently a. num-
| Der of names of men and women who
served in the war. but who failed to
reach home. is sent to the news
papers.
The current result list of the Le-
| gion contains the following instances
| where desired information was fur
| nished:
| Mrs. Catherine Ho1beck, of Allen
| town, Pa, asked for information con-
| corning the circumstances surround

long illness.
Many curious and touching appeals

BIG DEMAND FOR RAISINS.

Raisins of the homegrown variety
appear to be a natural monopoly of
Fresno, California Their production
is practically confined to it's vicinity,
where the a1l-important conditions
for curing are well-nigh perfect.
According to the Federal Trade
Commission the growers of raisins
were formerly at a disadvantage in
marketing their products. Co-opera-
tive organizations of growers failed to
set things right because of inadequate
provision for finance and credit. A
company then came into the field,
making contracts for the product of
so to 80 per cent. of the acreage, and
also contracting with corresponding
portion of the packers of raisins to
handle only what they received from
the company. There are 5000 grow
ers selling their crop to the one COM
pany.
AS things stand now, the company
has a, capital of $4,000, 900. About
twothirds of the stock has been held
by 5000 raisin growers and one-third
by merchants, professional men and
other investors. After a yearly divi-
dend of per cent. has been paid on
the stock, any surplus is divide
among growers in accordance with
the amount of grapes they have pro-
duced. Control of the corporation
until 1925 is vested in voting trustees.

SUGAR FROM
PUMPKIN AND PALM

But why limit our sugar produc-
ton to the cane OF the tropics, the
beet of the temperate zones and the
Northern states?
Why not the pumpkin? Is the
answer Of the sugar shemist. That
pleasing vegetable which grows al
most anywhere can be weaned away
from it's uses for pies. jack o'lanterns,
and cattle feed and from 1t can be
made a considerable amount of crys-
tallizable sugar. It's yield in weight
per acre is greater than the sugar
beet Six per cent. of sugar can be
readily obtained with possibilities OF
a much higher yield.>
Sugar from pumpkins is declared
to be perfectly white and of an agree
able flavor. 1t is also said that sugar
has been made from watermelons.
Another source of sugar Is the palm
tree In Bengal two varieties are
cultivated for that purpose though
the industry has been, for years a de-
Ginning one. The phoenix palm, one
of the sources of East Indian sugar,
will yield with the crudest methods OF
cultivation and manufacture, about
tree. With 800 trees to the acre
which would be the limit under
scientific cultivation, the yield per
acre is better than sugar cane and
modern methods OF refining would
r greatly advance the output.-The Ma
TONS Business.

ARGENTINE HEAD
IS AGAINST BILL;
HAS RESTRICTION

Buenos Ayres, July 12.-President
Irigoyen's Administration has just
announced through Finance Minister
Salaberry that it will oppose the pro-
hibition bill recently introduced into
the Chamber of Deputies. Neverthe-
less, an official move in favor of the
restriction of the liquor traffic is seen
in the terms of the reciprocal COM
mercia1 travellers treaty, recently
agreed upon between United States
Ambassador Stimson and the Presi-
dent.
This treaty, which probably will be
drawn up and signed in Washington
during AMBASSADOR Stimson's visit
there on leave, will provide for a sin
gle Federal license for American
statesmen in Argentina, instead of
licenses for each province, but will
exclude them from selling alcoholic
beverages under it. The prohibitive
clauses was requested by President
Irigoyen, it is learned. It was accept
ed by the United States Government
notwithstan ding the fact that no such
clause appears in other commercial
travellers treaties negotiated by the
United States. The American policy
of uniformity for treaties of this sort
has thus been waived in favor of Ar
gentina.
err be legally exported from the Unit
ed States American salesman natur-
ally will not be affected by the clause
but its significance lies with Argen-
tina in that it establishes a precedent
in the direction of prohibition. It is
pointed out that if this treaty with
the United States is ratified other ma
tions which may desire also to nego-
tiate a treaty with Argentina pfovid-
rin So1o &c
license would, by virtue of this pre-
cedent, have to accept a similar
clause against the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Otherwise, their sales
men must continue to pay a separate
license in each of the fourteen prov
inces- These vary, running as high
as a thousand pesos.
While President Irigoyen is known
to be strongly in sympathy with re-
stricting the liquor traffic 1t is said,
that he feels that Argentina is not
ready for total prohibition. One en-
tire province, Mendoza, thrives upon
the wine industry, and the use of
light native wines, especially in the
rural districts, is almost general.
The introduction of the prohibition
measure in Congress was followed by
strong protest from the Mendoza
wine growers. They were told by
minister odidpeTfy lndt, dlInOuSn ne
had not consulted President Irigoyen
on the subject, he could assure them
that the executive power of the ma
ton will not approve this reform.
and If it is necessary will oppose
against 1T all the legal resources up
on which it can lay hand" Mean
time the wine growers have organ
lied a 'tunket" for Congressman to
the wine growing district to show the
importance of the industry to Argen-
tina.

CLAIMS CENTRAL
EUROPE SOON TO
BE IN UPHEAvAL

Budapest, Aug. 2S.-Central Europe
and Germany will surely be war and
political storm centers soon, in the
opinion of Victor Dvorcak, who was
president of the S1ovakian republic for
a period of a few weeks previous to
the annexation of Slovalkia by the
Czechs in November, 1918. Slovaks in
the United States invited him to visit
them this summer.
Il have Just completed a tour Of
all Europe" said Mr.. Dvorcak, "and
these storms are in the air. Germany
will break UP into the small states of
hundred years ago. The 5000 900
Germans now held by the Czechs will
join the Saxons, while the Austrians
will join the Bavarians, perhaps.
There will be a war between the
Poles and the Czechs, as the latter
have an understanding with the Mos
COW government In this war Hun
gary will help the Poles, in order to
get back Slovakia, once her province.
Should the Rumanians have difficult
ties with the Russian bolsheviki over
the sid province of Bessarabia, this
win be a signal for the Hungarians
to get back Pennsylvania. The Hun
garians know well that the Allies
can't help the CzechS in a military
way, and perhaps wouldn't if they
could.
THE point that troubles the Hun
garians most is the possible attitude
of the Serbs should the Hungarians
engage in a new war. They hope
that Italy in such case would threat
en- the Serbs Should the Hungar-
ians first strengthen themselves by
helping the monarchists in Austria
to overthrow that republic, and then
both be Joined anew under Emperor
Charles, the case with Serbia might
be helped.
Hungary is in such a condition at
present that she can't abide by the
frontiers of the peace treaty. Two
thirds of her territory has been taken
by the Czechs, Serbs, and Rumanians,
the latter getting nearly one-third.
Her population has been cut from
100000 to 100000. These 12,-
100000 under new domination are
being robbed and mistreated by their
new masters, until many flee to Hun
gary proper.
"This has made a big, dissa tisfied
population which has no money or
work, or any future unless they win
| back their homes.
$50 a new war will inevitably come
| out of this homelessness and hatred
and poverty. In Slovakia the Czechs
have tried to rule Iy arms but the
! locally enrolled soldiers are fleeing
| to the forests. Communism has been
declared by -workmen in the centers
| about Kaschau. The peasants who
| used each year to go to the plains
| of Hungary to till the soil and ga
| ther the harvests are not allowed to
| cross the frontiers. So they must
| starve this winter. Already they have
| but two pounds of bread per month.
| Czech spectators and carpet-ba g-
gers are cutting down the magnifi-
| cent forests.
| Should disorders break out there,
| it is possible that Hungarian soldiers
| lately modified at Miskolcz will
| cross over and then the Czechs will
| be driven out"

SAMUEL SMILEY,S
POLITICAL STUFF

I find in my mail the following
questions from my former constitu-
ents bearing upon the national cam
paign:
Question. How do Cox and Hard
ing compare with each other as can
dfdates?
Answer. Like a dynamo and a
hammock.
@. Will Harding stick to the front
porch?
A. What difference will it make !?
He'll be stuck anyhow
Q. What is a. mandatory?
A. Roies Penrose. (You see, a
mandatory is somebody set up over
the weak or the helpless until they
can get up out of the rocking
chair.)
@. What kind of a peace would we
get by Hardings plan for a declara-
ton of peace by Congress?
A. One-half of one per cent.
@. Where is Trails End"
A. After March 4, 1921, it will be
located at the White House.
Q. How did I like Franklin Roose-
velt's speech?
A. 1t convinced me that the Roose-
welt progressive spirit didn't die with
T. r. Particularly I liked that ref
erence to Governor Cox as the ZEN
didate who knows what he's doing
and how to do it; in other words, it
means efficiency. Harding is an en-
gineer- too-stationary en-
gineer.
@. What did think of Governor
CooIidge's speech?
A. 1t was very convincing in one
| respect If Governor Coolidge pays
only $3.50 a month rent, any land
| lord who would charge Senator Hard
ing more than s25 a month is a
pro9cc~r.
Q. Do I think the Republicans are
| consistent OIL the League of Nations ?
a. Big lnjun" Bill Borah says he
| wou1 m T vote for the Leag.,, CT Ma
ticrs if the Saviour of Mankind we're
| to ask him big Brother Bill Taft
says l,s IS satisfied with the league
covenant Gust as President Wilson
| brought It from Paris. and at last re-
| Republic IT. consistency on the league
is Jewel--the kind you buy at the
] 5 and 10 cent stores
| Q. What do I think of the Repub-
| lican plan for the campaign?
, A. Recalling the election of Sena-
| tor New berry and the way the can
| didacies of General Wood and Gov
| ernor Lowden were managed. in the
late primaries and mindful of what
| I hear concerning the campaign
| fund "aTlotments," 1t looks to me
something like the Ponzi plan with re-
| verso English.

AUTO TIRE RECORDS.

Motorists are beginning to take as
a maHter of course the large mileage
delivered by automobile tires. Many
phenomenal records have been
brought to the attention of manufac-
turers One recent testimonial
showed a pneumatic truck tire ran
10000 miles Many car owners have
obtained from 10000 to 10000 miles
from one casing. Fred L. Morgan
believes that the wonderful mileage
records are due to wonderful strides
made in the manufacture of inner
tubes If the tube isn't built right
the casing will blow out.
