bIG SNOW STORM
| HITS PHILLIPS COUNTY
BLIZZARD ARRIVES SATURDAY
.NleHT-M0 GREAT DAMAGE
SUFFERED BY LIVESTOCK

n Saturday night about time for the
&local picture shows to close their first
performance the weather man had q
Hsurprise in store for the new "Easter
Il SBonnets." A surprise was putting it
Emild. He began the second show,
and by the way this was free gratis,
by soft patter upon the roof which
/ was not noticeable, until milady had
gained the lobby, the real show be-
gan. A perfect deluge let loose,
which by the way was very beneficial
to the growing grass, wheat and rye,
but opposite to 'New Spring Attire"
There was scampering by male at
tendants to beg, borrow, or steal an
umbrella or raincoat to protect the
'new spring attire" rather than the
girl. Nevertheless all arrived safely
home sometime later.
During the night the rain changed
to snow and BY morning roads we're
impossible and telephone service
crippled. It continued to give Is .
real blizzard until late in the after
noon, the snow stopped and the sun
came out. ~
At once teams were in evidence
pulling out stalled cars in the streets
of Holyoke. Monday, men were busy
shoveling passageway into garages,
cleaning sidewalks, and making paths
in and out Of ones place.
BY noon the streets and sidewalks
were flooded, caused by the rapid
melting snow. The west bound train
arrived in Holyoke at noon and re-
NAMED here until time to depart on
schedule for Sterling. The east
bound train did not arrive until some
time Monday night OH account OF the
huge drifts east. This snow was q
blessing for Phillips county even
though it was a little disagreeable,
the weather remaining warm caused
no large loss of live stock.

Legion To Discuss

NEW YORK, Sept. THE attitude
which the American Legion should take
toward politics and political candidates
will be one of the paramount issues to
be raised AZ the next national conven-
ton of that organization to be held In
Cleveland, Ohio, September 27, says an
announcement made by the Legion
Weekly after a canvass of members OF
that body.

serts in its statement that strong sem
t,ment throughout the country in ia
vor OF a reconstruction Of the political
restrictions clause in the constitution
of the legion is the most striking fea-
ture of nation wide survey just COM
pleted.
The sentiment Is widespread that a
too narrow Interpretation of the pres
ent political restrictions clause will
work injury to the legion by excluding
II from participation In public affairs
gion members believe the existing clause
should stand as it Is but that more
liberal Interpretation than generally has
been observed heretofore be agreed
upon"
The present clause Of the constitu-
ton provides that the legion shall be
absolutely nonpolitical and shall not

FOOD OFFERED TO
MACSW|NEY DAILY

LONDON, Sept Z. (By the Associated
Press, Each day as the fast OF Lord
Mayor MacSwiney. BriXton prison, pro-
crosses there is staged by the Bedside of
the dying man a tragic little act, which
was disclosed to the Associated Press
yesterday by Father Dominic, of the
Francisco Capuchin order. Mayor Mac
Swiney's private chaplain.
Every morning food in some form or
another is brought on by the prison au-
thorities and offered to the starving
prisoner in the hope that his almost
uncomfortable craving will master him
and that he win be tempted to eat Ev-
cry morning there Is the same end to
the act-MacSwiney, who is too weak
to utter q spoken refusal brushes his
desire and turns his head away. So 1t
has gone on until the twenry-fifth day
OF his hunger strike.
There have been many rumors that
MacSwiney was being given subste-
hence In drinking water or otherwise
This Is Indignantly denied by relatives
and friends, and the Associated Press
was further informed in an authorize
tive quarter today that the prison au-
thorities have not given the lord mayor
any food in this manner Father Dom
inic also denied that the prisoner was
being fed, and added:
Although some people say the de-
sire for food disappears alter few days
Swiney's case, He is still hungry, but
refuses to take anything although II
is brought TO him regularly.
1.-THE lord mayor looked pale, drawn
and haggard this morning when l ad-
ministered the usual sacrament, and
the local rumors that he received the
last sacrament today is not true. Mac
Swlney has intervals OF dizziness and is
only able to speak in short gasps, owing
to difficulty in breathing and any at
tempt at continual conversation is i'm
possible
Lord Mayor MacSwiney is in the same
room occupied by Sir Roger Easement
before the latter was transferred to the
tower. II is a large airy dormitory
with seven beds and there is a day and
night nurse In attendance. The prison
Is situated at the end of short lane
leading from the main road. This main
entrance is guarded by several police
who refuse to admit any but relatives
of the inmates or those holding official
permits. Many visitors were turned
away yesterday. But beyond these. the
police and the coming and going of
Mayor MacSwlney's relatives there is
nothing to indicate the battle of Wills
going on behind the high walls OF the
jail, the outcome of which may have a
far reaching effect.

FARM IMPLEMENT
COMBINE ALLEGED
Trade Commission Recon-
mends Trust Suit Against
Harvester Company.

WASHINGTON. Sept, Methods al
legged by tho federal trade commission
to have been used by manufacturers OF
farm implements 10 advance prices
scrihed, II became known today, In
report OF the commissions investigation
which was authorized by the senate.
The commission announced last night
that II had recommended the opening
of antitrust proceedings against the In
terna tional Harvester company, and the
institution OF court proceedings against
implement manufacturers and dealers
who the commission asserted, have IL
legally increased prices.
Its investigation. the trade commission
declared disclosed that between 1914
and 1918 prices of farm implements ad-
vanced 70 per cent Advances in the
costs and expenses OF manufacturers
and dealers did not warrant, the com
mission said, an increase Of this amount.
Discussing methods which the COM
mission charges officers and membera
of implement manufacturers associa-
lions used to bring about and maintain
high price levels, the report states that
price comparison meetings were held
at which advances In prices recently
made or intended to be made were dis
cussed." Meetings also were held 1t is
charged AT which inflated costs were
compared with the tacit understanding
that prices would be advanced the same
percentage shown by the inflated
costs" and at which agreements were
made respecting uniform terms and
the Standardization Of implements and
equipment"
The commissions report further states
that members OF manufacturers asso-
Citations made use of frequent exchange
of price lists by mail so that members
could check up on each others prices.
terms and equipment furnished" and
that letters were sent urging low
price members to increase their prices"
by these methods" the commission
asserts, beginning with meetings held
In February, 1916, and continuing
through 1918. the manufacturers often
arrived at uniform percentages of in
creases TO be applied first to one and
then another line of implements.
THAT the officers and members Of
the manufacturers associations real
lied" the report continues, that they
were engaged in illegal activities Is
indicated by the attempted secrecy they
sought to throw over all price ac-
tivities."
