.YANK BONUSF|GHT
NOW UP TO SPEAKER
Congressman GiIIett Has Power
To XIII Efforts TO Bring Bill
Before House.

Speaker Gnlett has become the cen
trail ngure In the conflicting puI
vigorous night now being wasedl
about the soldier bonus bill.
Holding the power of recognizing
a member to make a motion for con-
sideration OF a pending oiii' the
Speaker will be called upon TO decide
whether the bonus bill shall be taken
up In the House for direct action.
Republican leaders have deter
mined to meet the opposition TO the
legislation which has blocked action
by bringing up for sdoSion rule
making six days OF the closing SOS
sion suspension days. during whlch
any member who secures the recos-
milton OF the Speaker may demand
that a vote be taken on the passage
OF any bill.
This new order OF procedure will be
brought before the House tomorrow,
under notice given. IL supported by
a majority OF the House members. II
will become effective. The Demo-
Gratis have served notice that they
will try TO modify the provisions or
the rule calling for the suspension
days, and thereby make the enort to
levy war profts tax 10 heip pay the
proposed soldier bonus.
Congressman Fordney, who Is lead
ing the hght for the soldier bonus
bill, will seek today to get a pledge
from the Speaker that he Will be
recognized for the purpose OF calling
ND the bonus bill. The Speaker may
grant or he may refuse the requested
recognition. Thus, the Speaker has
become the pivotal figure in the
soldier bonus fght. Friends of the
Speaker say he is opposed to the
pending bill and to soldier bonus at
this session OF Congress.

MARRIAGE POOL" Is
FLAYED BY DOCTOR
Would Reduce Humanity TO Level
of Animals on Stock Farm,
He Declares.

AKRON. Ohio. May 2S.-"The pro-
posed international marriage pool
would be absolutely pernicious in It's
influence" said DR.. Esther Bebout,
commenting on the suggestion by
Prof. Paul Gsrnot, noted French sci
enlist, that European nations be re-
populated by resolving to a general
matrimonial clearing house.
such a proposition is aiming at
the very foundations OF home life and
influence and is putting humanity on
the same level as animals on a stock
farm" she continued.
"we might have expected such
.cold-blooded proposition from Ger-
many. for in Germany the interests
of the individual have always been
sacrificed to those of the state. bvt
that such statements shonld, be conn
ing from French scientists is uneX-
pIainable. unless it is because the
French have always looked upon fam
ily life in somewhat loose fashion"

In support OF this charge, Mr..
Lauck presented a mass OF data con-

three years OF more than ~ cents, II
Is apparent that coal operators
gouged the consumers for an aggre-
gate of half a billion dollars" de-
clared Mr.. Lsuck.
Each Fa.iIy Taxed s25.
"In other words, the profteerlng OF
the bituminous coal operators was
translated into a tax OF apprCxi-
mately x25 on each family in IT,,
United States. And this accounts for
an important factor in the high cos:
OF living"
Analysing the financial reports OF
the coal companies whose financial
statements are available for the fun
period from 1912 to 1913. Mr.. Lauci<
states:
"Of the seventeen coal companies
whose reports have been issued, all
but two were engaged solely In .he
mining OF bituminous coal. These sew
enteen companies, representative OF
the entire industry, had aggregate
prohts OF S42. 1877 900 during the perio d
OF 1912-lf. These same companies,
during the war period 1el6-1S. after
paying all Federal taxes and mals.ug
Unprecedented deductions for deple-
tion, made a total proht OF s1o1.oTs
900, or more than two and onc-aalt
times as great as during the pre-war
years.

TO produce the coal.
"The present situation illustrates
very forcibly the manner in which
the coal operators have continually
exploited the public" Mr.. Lsuck con-
cluded. ''The recent wage increase OF
81 per cent granted the miners adds
something less than 40 cents 20 the
cost OF producing ton OF coal. ac
cordIng TO the best authorities. since
April 1, when these new rates became
effective, prices OF coal have been ad-
vanced from rs cents TO 81 ton. In

THE SCARCITY OF SUGAR IN
FRANCE.

We note from the weekly circular pub
lished by the Syndicate of French Sugar
Manufacturers, under date of August
22nd, that the control of sugar con
sumption is still held carefully in hand
nv the government. The under 5ccge-
tary of thaa department In calling atten,
tinn 70 the existing law, states that
af.ec September /, 1920, the sugar fur
nished by the government service will
no longer be delivered except TO specially
named categories who are duly rationed
j. e., first children less than IL years;
second old people of more than IS years
third, poor sick people, native incurabIes.
The ration of sugar is fixed at $50 grams
or three-fourths of a kilo, equal to 2 Is
English pounds per person per month.
The various forces connected with the
servi e are instructed to proceed &C
cordingly. Still we have people in this
country who can scarcely believe that
sugar is scarce anywhere. Apparently
the whole world has been combed with
a ve1y fine comb throughout to bring
out every pound of sugar available for
ex0ortation to the United States during
the first half of this year IS being the
highest priced market in the world.
Some, or many of these people, are
now buying sugars in the United States.

TO PREVENT THE RAPID DECAY OF
RIPE FRUIT.

The Tropical AgricuIturjst, May 1920,
contains an interesting article on the
above subject. Experiments conducted
recently in the Jodrel laboratory, KeW,N
with the object Of asce" aiming the value
Of vaiious substances in preventing the
rapid decay of ripe fruit, appeared to
MONT to the conclusion thai commercial
formalin was most effective. cheap, and
EASY in application, there being also an
entire absence of danger in its use, Tie
method of the treatment is as follows:
The fruit should be immersed for ten
minute in cold water containing 3 per
cent. of commercial fornalin, and after.
wards oraced on wire netting, or some
similar material, 70 drain and dry.
It was found in the Kew experiment
that in every case fruit treated with tor
malin in the foregoing manner remained
perfectly sound and free from mlldeW
for many days after the untreated cn9ck
fruit had become covered with mould,
and quite unfit for use. Bananas. for
instance, treated with formal1n solution,
kept sound for ten days longer than the
untreated lot.
However valuable the method of pre-
servatioD alluded to above may be for
extending the duration Of time In winch
ripe fruit may be kept in good condition
for local use, doubtless the greatest ben
eft will be in connection with the export
of fruit. Many kinds of tropical fruit
which, owing to their rapid deterioration
and decay, are never sent on long Jour-
neys, may possibly be exported success
fully, if treated in this manne before
shipment. 1t is true that many tropical
fruits decay very quickly in their native
countries, BAT that only shows that, o"-

DEMPSEY DEFENDS TITLE
Chicago Man Stays With Heavy
weight Champion for Twelve
Fast Rounds.

Jack Dempsey pulled out of the
fire in New York. Tuesday night
Bill Brennan, of Chicago had gone
eleven rounds and half with the
worlds champion and was giving
him a whale of fight. Then Demp-
sey clipped him suddenly just as they
split out of clinch with wicked
left hook to the heart. Bill went
over in pain, but did not fall. Jack
saw he had him, and swung a right
to the head and Brennan crumpled
up in the rosin.
The referee from Brooklyn, count
ed ten on Bill before he could get up.
He arose second or so late. and al
most fell through the ropes before
the referee and Dempsey grabbed
him. 1t was great fight, full of
thrills, and the biggest surprise that
has happened in boxing in years.
Brennan was good enough to have a
chance right up until he got that
heart punch, and the Dempsey corn
er men were scared stiff. Jack
survived and won, but he won't be
an overwhelming favorite the next
time he starts.
Something must have been the
matter with Dempsey or else Bren-
nan is mach better than imagined.
Perhaps it's a good thing for Demp-
sey that Harry Wills, or even Jesse
Willard, was not his foe on this occa-
sion.
Brennan, whose real name is Bill
Shanks, was first in the ring. He
wore a red sweater and green
trunks. He said he was not nervous.
Dempsey was a minute behind him.
He climbed through the ropes at
Brennan's corner, and they examin-
ed each others bandages. Dempsey
wore white trunks and had a towel
over his shoulders.
They then posed for some pic
lures, the ring was cleared and the
fight was on.
Some $4,000 people, including nu-
merous well-known sporting charac-
tiers, damned into Madison Square
Garden to see the fight. The re-
ceipts were about 100000. Ring
side seats sold at $25, while it took
IS to get seat in the balcony.
Brennan and Dempsey weighed
for the boxing commission in the
Garden at 2 o'clock. Jack did 18S
and fraction, while Brennan was
high enough in flesh to scale 1877
Bill talked confidently to Jack, but
he could not have meant it.
Just before the fight started, a
telegram from Jess Willard reached
the ringside. The Kansas sunfloweI
challenged the winner Naturally
he figured the winner would be
Dempsey. Jess wants--to get even
for the Toledo disaster. He probably
never will, but he is going to try at
the Garden the night of March IT.
Must give him credit for trying.

MEETING WITH BIG SUCCESS,

1t will be interesting news to the
many friends of Rev. c. w. Proctor
in Audubon to learn that he is meet
ing with great success as pastor of
the Methodist church at Murray.
He was pastor of the M. Il. church
in this city two years, previous to
going to Murray. Following is the
report sent out concerning the re-
vival meeting which is in progress
in his church:
"a revival of unusual interest is
in progress in the Murray Methodist
church. The pastor, Rev. G. w.
Proctor, is being assisted by Rev. o.
G.. Circuit and the Misses Haines and
Laney, deaconesses. The congrega-
tions are splendid and the preaching
of Evangelist circuit exceptionally
strong and searching. He uses no
sensational methods and yet pre-
sents powerfully the claims of the
Gospel of the Christ. The first invi-
tation was given Sunday and Sum
day evening and fifty-one responded
to the call. The splendid new church
was filled with a capacity audience
numbering between six and seven
hundred people. These meetings are
expected to continue throughout the
week.

MAIL PACKAGES NOW

That slogan, which has come to be
accepted as one of the characteristic
features of the Yuletide, do your
Christmas shopping early" has been
sounded for these many days by the
merchants and the newspapers and
now to this clamor is added the
plaintive plea of one who is more eff
fected than all the others by the hol-
iday rush-the postmistress, Kath-
ryn McGuire-who, speaking for the
employees at the office, earnestly re-
quests that we mail the Christmas
packages early"
No business establishment in the
city is called upon to meet the de-
mands of the public during the days
Immediately preceding Christmas so
much as the post office. No merchant
be his business ever so large, will be
called upon to serve the public in
the manner of those who handle the
mails. The demands made upon him
are infinitesimal compared to those
which the postal employees must
satisfy. Those who work at the
post office are not in business for
their own profit, but are public SER
wants serving all the people. COM
planning public expects them to be
infallible and is not slow to complain
when the service does not meet their
exact demands. - ~--.-

TELEPHONE COMPANIES MERGE
Audubon and Extra Exchanges to
Become Part of the New
Organization.

The following statement has been
issued by W. b. II. Belt, president
of the Northwestern, Nebraska and
Iowa Telephone companies:
1T is planned to consolidate the
three Bell telephone companies OPP
Grating throughout the states of Ne
braska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Da-
kota and South Dakota under the
name of the Northwestern Bell Tel
ephone Company on January ! next,
subject to the approval of the public
utility commissions in those states
which have such bodies.
"The name, Northwestern Bell
Telephone Company, has been chos-
en- for the proposed new company
because a considerable part of the
territory included in the organiza-
ton has long been known as the
Northwest and the name in itself
identifies the company's location in
the country.
1.-THE consolidation proposed will
include the Nebraska Telephone Co.,
which operates throughout Nebraska
and part of South Dakota; the Iowa
Telephone Co., which operates
throughout Iowa; and the North
western Telephone Exchange Co.,
which operates in Minnesota, North
and part of South Dakota.
For ten years all of these COM
panies have been under a single
management and no changes are
contemplated in the officers or in
the district, division or general head
quarters of the organization.
Naturally there has been consid-
cradle inconvenience in the opera
ton of three separate companies and
three distinct corporations under the
same management. This will be
eliminated by the change to a single
corporation"
