The investigations are being con- ducted separately.
 The investigation of the lumber in dustry has been under way some time and facts concerning it were made public coincident with & report to con gress by the federal trade commission which is assisting the department of justice in the investigation.
 The announcement of activity in con nection with industries dealing in building materials was made by F. knebeker, assistant to the attorney general, after a conference with W. ]. Rand, special assistant to the attorney general in charge of the building in- vestigation in New York.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Warning that the passage of the Fordney emer- gency tariff bill would lead to retalia- tory measures and would breed un- friendliness to America's trade among foreign nations, was given today by witnesses before the senate finance committed
 As a result of the testimony, it was expected tonight that members of the United States tariff committee would be asked for information. Chairman Penrose said members of the commit tee will be on hand tomorrow to an swer any questions"
 The committee will conclude it's hearings tomorrow, Senator Penrose announced, and 1t is planned on Friday to take up the bill in executive session. The chairman said he understood there were amendments to be considered.
 Discussion of the possibility of re- taliation, brought from Senator Peu- rose the comment that it Is the first time have heard that question of prob able retaliation so clearly stated"
 Predictions of retaliation also were coupled today with strong opposition and insistent requests for amendments. Louisiana sugar growers appealed for protection for cane sugar, while Ser muda producers of potatoes and onions, through their trade representatives in New York, opposed inclusion of the two commodities under a tariff levy.
 Importers of vegetable oils, through witnesses from New York and Phila- ielphia and officials of the Foreign Commerce association of the Pacific coast and soap manufacturers said their industries had been developed during the war and asserted that the tariff would handicap their growth.

DeValera Immune From Arrest While
 Remaining Silent
LRepubIlean A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, Jan. l0-That apparent immunity of Eamonn de Valera from arrest would continue as long as he maintains silence and does not partici- pate in the affairs of the extreme na- tonaiists, was the statement made in authoritative quarters today.
 (Since this statement was issued De Valera has made a statement on Irish affairs.l
 It was revealed that the government was somewhat perplexed as to what was the best course to pursue and virtually had decided to await the vol- untary showing by de Valera of his own hand before coming to a determination.
 The government has not officially admitted knowledge of de Valera's presence in Ireland. probably, it was stated, because such an admission would raise the question why he had not been apprehended. Neither win authorities say they know where de Valera is, largely. it is asserted. for the same reason. But that the crown forces are informed of his movements Is indicated in an official statement which says de Valera certainly will be clapped Into prison as soon as he re- ceives his cudgels."
 Governmental officials express the belief and hope that owing to de Va lera allegedly having been compro- missed at home by split within the ranks of the Irish Americans and taking cog nizance of what is termed the moder- ate opinion in Ireland. 1t is possible de Valera will become serviceable in bring ing Into force the home rule act. To- ward this end, the government is mod cling its policy and bending every ef- fort. The government contends the moderate opinion in Ireland and is growing fin strength.
 It was said today to be unthinkable that De Valera, as president of the Irish republic" would be invited or permitted to see the premier but cer- tain authorities asserted that should he be delegated by tho Irish republican parliament which it is recognized as tho de facto body of the southern Irish peo- pie, the suggestion might be reconsid- cred
 Meanwhile it is declared that the gov ernment stands on the statement of it's willingness to meet qualified spokesmen of the Irish for truce discussions but that such pourparlers must now be considered secondary to the prepara- tion of the country for the application of the home rule. bill.

Harding Insists On
 Simple Inaugural
fContinued from Page One.l

lContlnued from Page One.)
 T have been reluctant to introduce my views relating to inaugural planA, but cannot longer remain silent with out embarrassment and misunderstood ing which had rather avoid.
 Please convey to your committee my wish for the simplest inaugural pro gram, consistent with actual require ments in taking the oath of office and the utterance of befitting address. l very respectfully request that congress will not appropriate and your commit tee will not eXpend any fund whatever.
 1 am familiar with the custom
 of erecting a platform and provid-
 ing seats for guests who witness
 the ceremony but 1t will be most
 pleasing to me to have this cere-
 rnony take place within the capitol
 or on the east porch, without
 single extra preparation. This will
 require no expense and We shall
 be joint participants in an example
 of economy as we'll as simplicity
 which may be helpful in seeking
 our normal ways once more.
 Il have addressed a message of like import to the inaugural committee ask ing the abandonment of the parade and ball and hope for an acceptance of the intruded suggestion in the spirit which has inspired it."
 The president made his decision after conferences with several party leaders, to whom he expressed vigor- ously his repugnance to any show of extravagance. The need for national economy is one of which he has spoken many times publicly.
 Just how far Mir. Harding's action actually will curtail the ceremonies is uncertain It is taken for granted at least the inaugural ball, which disap- peared at Woodrow Wilson's instance in 1918, will be one feature ruled out of the 1921 inauguration

WHERE FARMING PAYS

The combination of ltw-pricad
land and diversified farming has
proven profitable to Minnesota
farmers in 1921 when farming pros
perity is rare. Corn, hogs, cattle,
dairying, grain, and potatoes all
have contributed to this prosperity.
Dairying is one of the largest items
but second only 20 it is potatoes.
The two together have produced
good profits for the old established
Red River Valley farm while the set
tier on unimproved timber land from
his new clearing has received in
many cases more than 500 per acre
from potatoes which with the earn
ings from COWS on his pasture land
will make a substantial advance to-
ward a permanent farm home.
The real secret of farming success
is low priced land which will leave
a profit after interest and labor cost.
Minnesota has this advantage in well
improved prairie farms and in low
priced unimproved cutover timber
lands. II you would start next year
on a permanent basis of profitable
farming write for book on Mime

GET soc FREE TO SUBSCRIBERS

UbI OUC FhF1b ~ StDoShtDhIND
Every person in Audubon county
who is a subscriber to The Audubon
Republican can save so cents by sub
scribing for the paper or renewing
their subscription during the month
of December. In addition to the
low subscription price we are giving
with each subscription a leather
case containing four pencils, pen
and holder, and rubber eraser. About
200 of these premiums were handed
out since last Friday.
We prefer making a price of 81 90
for a short period, thereby giving
the benefit to each individual rath-
err than a large sum to some one
person. Practically everyone who
has called at the office this week
remarked that The Republican was
doing the proper thing in making a
50-cent reduction, now that the price
of corn is so low. They consider 1t
unnecessary to pay $3.50 for news
paper when they can get one for
$1.O0. No paper in Audubon coun-
ty gives as much news as The Re-
publican, and the people are losing
no time in taking advantage of this
exceptional offer.
With today's issue over 40 new
names have been added to the sub
scription list, who will continue to
receive weekly visits from the good
old reliable Republican. There are
others who ought to join, and we
hope they will get in before next
week.
