Macon, Ca, Aug. 22-Three per-
sons are known to have lost their
lives in a fire which destroyed the

ed the belief that the death list
would be greater when the ruins had

stair cases by the first blast of the
flames and the greater part of these
had only one means of escape-that
of leaping from windows. Specta-
tors on the sidewalk saved some of
them from injury by catching them
in their arms.
Hayes was fatally hurt in jump
ing from an upper window. The de-
struction of the hotel register ham
pered the work of checking the list

wholly Unnecessary but that it had
been brought about deliberately
by the Federal reserve board.

plans were being rigged to put on
defation,' Mr.. Wannamaker said.
This eliminated in what we called
a buyers strike in 1920. We never
mad buyers strike it was a buyers
panic, the result of unceasing prop

afraid of prices, to spread that fear
that prices were to go lower
BY whom was this spread, asked
Representative Fink of Illinois.

the cost of making this years crop
of tobacco. and after diligent inquiry
and calculation has reached the con-
clusion that il will cost 49, cents
per pound. with enuogh extras which
have not been added to make the to-
;al in round figures twenty cents. We
have also ascertained thai the aver
age number of pounds this year per
acre will not exceed coo. In some
sections of the county especially in
the southern part where the seasons
have been better the yield will run
more, but in the northern section
where it has been very dry, the yield
will not reach 500. For that reason
we believe the yield will average 600
pounds and this has been the basis
for the calculation for one acre
The following figures are present
ed: Putting in the barn, $500;
wood, $500; fertilizer, $1,000; cur
ing, $3.50; plant bed, $500, setting
cut $500; chopping, $500; break
