An American girl, Mary de Mumm now living with her grandfather C. C. K. Scoville, banker of Seneca Kansas, is a daughter of Baron Wal ter de Mumm, who married Mir. Sco- ville'S daughter. The de Mumm estate in France, estimated in some reports to amount to $2O,O0O,OO0 was seQucSt- rated by the French government in the war as the Baron is German subject although he had spent most of his life in France. The Baron went to Germany when the war began and the Baroness remained in France selv- ing as nurse.
 In an effort to safeguard her share of the de Mumm estate in France, the Baroness de Mumm came to the Unit cd States in October, 1919, and through an act of Congress her Am crican citizeship was restored to her. Returning to France she sought a di- vorce. but died there while this action was pending.
 The Baroness sister, Mrs. Jose phine Treadwell, of New York, brought her sisters body from Paris to Seneca in May last. As she was leaving Chcrbourg, the agents of the French government seized jewels she was wearing on the ground that they were property of her sister but on ar irving in New York Mrs. TreadweII declared that the jewels were her own
 Baroness de Mumm had claimed that she had been given title to tWo' fifths of the property of the Baron under a seperation agreement which il sabstantiated would leave her little daughter May, now about five years .,d, the heiress to about $S,000,00O.

HOW COMFORTING

How comforting must it be to the
country newspaper men to read the
report Of the Senatorial Investigat-
ing Committee on the paper shortage.
This Committee which mede its re-
port Saturday, only few minutes
before Congress adjourned, found a
collusion existing between the pulp
producers and the manufacturers by
which artificial means were used to
create a shortage Of the supply in or
der to initiate the juice. That the
small press Of the country was being
robbed going and coming the COM
mittee did not hesitate to proclaim.
Not only did the committee find
that highway robbery and pelf were
rampant, but that the victims dared
not utter an outcry for fear of being
cut off completely from supplies, and
forced to close up shop.
The committee, as we have said,
reported these startling facts only a
few minutes before Congress ad-
journed, sine die, to meet again in
December. And in the meantime
the Republican press, big and little
will be whooping it for the return Of
the same brand Of Senators, who die
comparatively little more than to
spend millions Of the peoples money

REPUBLICAN HARMONY
PROVES IDLE BOAST

Washington, D. C.-Rcpublican
harmony is now shown to have been
only . boast. Democrats have con.
tended for two years that the Repub.
leans swallowed their difference for
the 1918 election only to get back to
the pie counter.
The G. o. P. organized the Sixty
sixth Congress distributed the pa.
tronage and then started out to win
the 1920 election. They immedi.
ately abandoned their campaign
pledges. Promises of constructive
legislation were ignored.
Newspapers had been full Of fine
declarations by Representatives Gil.
lett Of Massachusetts Mondell Of
wyoming, and ether leaders. Even
the "Doss," Senator Penrose,
told WHIST the RI Rs)hblicians would do
for tho counlry It',tnlk cnne
before the President issued the
call for the extra session, to meet
May 10, of last year.
AT that very time the Republican
leaders knew the "OldGuard" and
the so.called progressives in Con.
gresswho practically sold their in
dependence for comittee assignments
and patronage, were just as far
apart on important questions as
they had been in 1912. Democrets
realized that the Republican Con-
gress could not functionwhithou aid,
and all constructive legislation
enacted was the result of Democratic
aid Instead of making program
and carrying it out, Us the Demo
Gratis did in the Congresses they,on-
trolled, the Republicans have
floundered until their record is the
subject Of adverse comment even by
their own leaders.

Ia reaching no farther than the one
in question, ss far as accomplishing
anything Of good for the people.
The whole business seems to have
resolved itself into this, that the pub
lie was to be made to believe that
something was going to be done to
relieve their conditions Of helpless
ness-as soon as the "thief could be
located" In many instances they
did not get as far as the before mon
toned committee, and now the infer
ence would be that in order to COM
plete the job Of convicting and SEN
fencing the paper trust to long terms
Of Imprisonment, and to relieve the
conditions of the newspaper men, it
will be necessary to return to WASH

CONGRESS INACTIVE IN
FIGHT TO LOWER H. c. L.

Washington, d C. The inactivity
Of Congress while an orgy of profi-
teering continued and the failure
of the legis latiyc branch to consider
six separate recommendations made
by the President to check profiteer-
Ing were brought to public attention
recently in \ speech made by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts,.
Senator Walsh recited the enor
nous profits made by various
profiteering interests, and warned
that discomfort and national unrest
were increasing while Congress re-
mained passive
"The inactivity of Congress-" H.
exclaimed, presents a spectacle Of
Indifference that has seldom been
surpassed since the countries Of
Louis NV evel.d while I'll, French
peasants we've rating grass Wmlc
wrat Congress wss going to do was
recited from pulpit and soap box,
prices continued to rise unhindered
and unchecked. 7?
Recalling that the President had
asked action many months ago, Sen
ator Walsh said that it was mot
amiss to pause here and point to the
positively wanton indifference and
Responsiveness of Congress to the
)toposala made thus far to ALLEVIATE
The suffering of our people,"
Demanding to know why action had
not been taken on the many sug.
gestions for relieving thc situation.
Senator Walsh said that "it rcr.nin'
the lamentablc truth that we have
limited our efforts in behalf Of oui
imposed-upon classes to {. pitiful nnt
totally cumbrous and unwor,stblc
extension Of the Lever act and the or
ganixation Of Sugar Board which
20 far as it appears, by the very ac
ton Of profitecrs themselves has beer
renderd incapable of functionins.'
The beet farmers are very mucl
concerned over the appearance of the
alfalfa web worm. which is mnkinq
raids on the bsct tops. Mr.. c. A

says the greatest damhgc is being
done to the bccts Immediately nd.

however. are working fast and the
Sugar Company Is rushing the work
Of spraying rs rapidly as possible to

are also suffering terribly from the

FALSE ECONOMY At
EXPENSE OF FARMERS

Washington, d. C. False economy
at the expencc of the agricultural
interests and the food production Of
the country is charged against the
majority party in Congress by SEN
Harrison, who declares that while
there have been vast appropriations
for the army ard navy, the agricul-
tural appropriations bill has been cut
more than seven million dollars.
While the government is urging in
creased production of food and NOV
ing against profiteering, Senator Har
rison contends, the report on the agri-
cultural budget shows an indis-
criminate ard harmful use Of pruning
knife. Agriculture in all sections
will suffer, he argues and the con-
sumer ~ we'll as the farmer viii b
penalized by such an economy" pro-
gram. Republican economy claims,
Senator Harrison believes. will have
their reaction when food production
u crippled and prices 60 higher.
1.-THE party in CONTROL" said Sena.
tor Harrison, "is simply trying to de-
ceive by pretending economy in gov
ernment appropriations. While re
ducing agricultural appropriations
you have increased tire ermy bill
$3.50, 100000 and the navy bill $3.50,
000, 900 over the appropriations car
ried for the army and navy during
