CHAIN EXCHANGE BILL AT PACKED
Proposed Increase In Power Of Government Officials
 Is Played By Reed

WASHINGTON. June 3-Discus- sion of the CapperTincher bill tofreg- ulate grain exchanges before the sen ate agricultural committee today ran into a snarl on the subject of delega- tion of congressional authority to ad- ministrative officials. It eliminated in the declaration of Senator Reed, Missouri, that he could not differen- tiate between government by an in- dividual, board or commission and the government of William II, of Prussia.
 He attacked provisions of the grain bill, the packer control measure, and others which contemplate reposing broad powers to make rules and reg ulations upon department heads of commissions. It was nothing short of socialistic, he said.
 Take the present secretary of az ricultiure. and I mean no criticism to him personally" said Reed. He's an editor. He's not a lawyer. and prob ably knows no more about big busi. ness than any one of hundred thou sand farmers. You give him this pow CT, then he hires an army of unem- ployed, who haven't even made sue cess of their own business, to draft these regulations and then signs them"
 Senator Norbeck, South Dakota, took issue with Reed. declaring con gress merely was attempting to give fleXibility to it's laws.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH

The musical program given by the DeMoss Concert Company Saturday was very much enjoyed by all who heard it. We hope to put on high class programs from time to time in order to build up greater social life about the church.
 We are seeking to do this with our Friday evening entertainments. The attendance at church services was very encouraging. The four numbers given by the concert company Sun- day evening were very appropriate. would be delighted to have an equal attendance each Sunday evening.
 The Woman's Missionary society is postponed from Wednesday of this week to Wednesday of next week. A noted missionary worker will be with them at that time and special ser vice will be held in the evening at the Federated church. The public is in- vited to this service.
 Do not fail to attend our mid-week services Wednesday evening. The Christian Endeavor societies are grow ing in interest and attendance. Some of our members are still on the sick list. Mrs. Ormond is still in Phoenix. Little Barbara Rees is improving some.
 The sermons for next Sunday will deal with matters of importance. We invite you to come and help us.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 11.-Thirty- two years old and the leader of a million fighting Americans. That's the record of Hanford MacNider, of Mason City, Iowa, the new national commander of the American Legion elected here yesterday at the Legion's Annual Convention.
 MacNider was elected by acclama- tion. Following his election he was carried to the platform by the Iowa delegation. He said:
 "You know that the strength of the Legion is in the men you represent in your posts at home, not in the nation al headquarters. There is where the legion is and there is where we shall try to reach. We must build this le- zion of ours so big, so fine, so strong, keep it so clean and straight and American that when we ask for things for the ex-service men, for the dis abled man and for those who are fi- nancially disabled, our communities will say: If the legion is for it we are for it. For that service and with a pledge to you of every economy and all measures possible for constructive progress, stand at your command.
 The vice-commanders elected were H. Nelson Jackson, Burlington, Vt; George L. Berry, of Tennessee; Ray mond o. Bracket, of Massachusetts; John A. Mccormick, Colorado; Charles M.

EXTENT, REDUCTION
 OF CIVIL SERVICE

The United States civil service commission issued its semi-annual statement regarding the extent of the federal executive civil service and re- auctions therein, as follows:
 The federal executive civil force in the District of Columbia was reduced by Il, ,694 employees during the year ended July 31, 1921, and by 38,S95 during the period from November II, 1918 to July 31, 1921. The reduction throughout the United States, in cluding the District of Columbia, was 93,634 for the year ended July 31, 1921, and more than 300,000 during the period from November II, 1918, to July 31, 1921. The reduction con- tinues steadily, but now, of course, more slowly.
 On June 30, 1916, there were 39,- 295 employees in the District of Col umbia, and 400,539 in branches out side the District of Columbia, mak- ing the total on that date date 439,- 79S. On November II, 1918, at the height of the war expansion, the number of employees in the District of Columbia was 117,760. Owing to rapid fluctuations at distant places Of employment, it was found impractic- able to compile strictly accurate fig ures for the force outside the District of Columbia during the war period. As near as can be estimated, the force outside the District of Columbia numbered approximately 800,000 on November II, 1918. This is a con- servative estimate; it is probably too low. Adding the number in the Dist rict of Columbia on that date, the ap- proximate total number of employees on the date the armistice was signed was 917,760. On July 31, 1920, there were 90,559 federal civil employees in the District of Columbia and GOO, 557 in branches outside the District of Columbia, making the total on that date 691,11 On July 31, 1921, there were 78,865 employees in the District of Columbia and 518,617 in branches outside, the total on that date being 597 7,482.
 All figures named include federal executive positions classified under the civil service law and those not so classified.

Tt may interest you to know" he said truculently, "that I don't believe in the existence of a 'eaven." The curate merely nodded, and went on reading his newspaper. "You don't quite realize" said the park orator, "what Pm trying to make clear. want you to understand that I don't believe for single solitary moment that such place as 'eaven exists" "All right, all right" an swered the curate pleasantly, Ego to hell, only don't make so much fuss about it."

HOW HE COULD TELL

A Georgia "cracker" tells this story on his own people: He says a north ern man who had settled in Georgia was visited by a friend who asked him how he liked the place and the people.
 "Oh, all right" replied the man.
 "Now tell me-" asked the friend, "what is Georgia cracker?' How can you tell him from another per son?'
 Well" replied the Northern set tier, "you see out in that field black object?"
 "Yes," said the friend.
 "Now," said the man, "that may be either Georgia cracker or stump. Watch it for half an hour, and if 1t moves, why, it's stump"
