Young in business should learn how to read their
daily newspaper that they may get much business
information out of it as possible.
The stock market tabuaons read by those interested
in investments speculation They read also, by many
other people who have thought of either.
The stock tables not only business baromeers but
from study of these tables may often accurately
cast future changes in general business activity.
Some of the shrewdes business minds in the world
engaged in stock exchange transactions The future dis

of stock sales often gauge the future of his business
three months or more in advance.
If he notes that stock prices steadily climbing he is
less justified in believing that within three four
months the boom will have extended to practically all lines
of business If the stock market registers steady declne

committee were called into conference
this morning by President Harding,
while he was reading the final proof Of
his first message which he was TO read

The call for the senators 10 visit the

1t was understood that the president

eign relations.
The senators began arriving az the
White House soon after 10 o'clock and
the conference began half an hour later.
The proof of the address as corrected
by the president was given to the pub
lie printer at that time. If any correc-
tions were to be made after the con
ference. it was assumed they would be
telcphoned to the government printing
office.
After the decision to summon the Re

HOOVER IN FAVOR
OF EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE

ID. s. Hoover. representative from
this county. who Is home after the re-
cent session of the legislature was in
terviewed upon the subject of special
session TO still the troubled waters or
state. and stated that in his opinion
II was the only thing for the governor
TO do, and one that would quickest reach
the core OF the whole matter and bring
order out of chaos.
AN initiative election would take
time and money and might involve 9TH
er matters that are not OF interest 10
the people OF the state at this time.
At best II would be a tedious manner OF
settling the present muddlo and l am
inclined TO think that q special session
of the legislature would be the quickest
means 10 that end.
"The question of what will the repre-
sentativcs do II they are reassembled
IL one that cannot be answered at this
time. but | believe that when the legis-
latorS have heard from the folks NJ
home. they will amend their way of do
ing things. cut out partisan politics
and do something for the state.
THE governor Is asking the best
brain Of the state FOR a conference with
him on the matter and that In my opin'
ion IL all a referendum election could
do Therefore. | see no reason for
all this expense OF u special election
when believe that special session will
accomplish the same purpose. more
quickly and with far less expense"
Mr.. Hoover says that he could add
nothing further than has already been
said and published relative to the action
OF the lower house but predicted tina,

thing fall when the next state election
occurred and that they We're enjoying

OKLAHOMA CONGRESSWOMAN IS
GREETED WITH HANDCLAP-
PINGS AS SHE ANSWERS
THE FIRST ROLL CALL

Washington, April 12.--The Sixty
seventh congress assembled promptly
at noon Monday at the call Of Presi-
dent Harding for its first session, ex.
pected now TO continue probably until
fall.
Except for the reorganization of the
house and the usual flood of bills,
Mondays meetings were somewhat per-
functory, the congress marking time
until the receipt Of President Hard
ing's first message, to be delivered by
him early this afternoon.
This congress is the first controlled
by the Republicans to meet under
Republican administration in decade
The senate previously had been or
ganized at its special session. which
began last March 4, but the house
proceeded 10 its organization by re.
electing Speaker Frederick II. Gillett
of Massachusetts. over Gland Kitchin
Of North Carolina, the Democratic
candidate.
Frank w. Mondel Of Wyoming was
reelected Republican leader, Will Rep
resentative Kitchin became the DEM
ocratic leader. He succeeds the late
Champ Clark Of Missouri.
Nearly all the 35 members were
no peace resolution in the lot. this be-
broke into applause when Miss Alice
VI. Robertson. Republican, of the Sec
ond Oklahoma district, the only woman
member of congress, came on to the
floor OF the house. She carried n
bunch Of roses.
Miss Robertson was one of the more
than 100 new members, most OF them
Republicans, who answered the first
roll call.
Fully a thousand bills and resolu'
tons, many of which failed to get
through the first session. were thrown
into the hopper yesterday long before
the house got under way. There was
no peace resolution in the lot, this be-
ing held back To await the direction
OF tho president.
Right ut the top the list of release
which the Fordney emergency tariff
vetoed by Mr.. Wilson, but brought in
under another name. II will be called
up Wednesday and is expected TO pass
by Wednesday night
The Kahn resolution for investiga
ton of the escape OF Grover c. Berg
doll, the Philadelphia draft dodger
now In Germany, was in the hopper
ut noon Monday.
Because OF the large number Of Re
publicans in both the house and senate
II was necessary to establish the so
called Cherokee strips" in each hous,
between the Republican and Demo
cratic sides, the overflow OF Repub
lican members being seated in thes'
strips.
While congress was assembling
President Harding denied himself e
callers and worked on his message
TO be delivered in person this after
noon to n joint session.
Mondays appointment list showed
only one item. II was the engagement
for the President to go to the Pan
American building late In the after
noon to attend the opening OF u spc
cial direct telephone wire betwcei
Washington and Havana, Cuba.

prepared his speeches and other doc
uments in long hand and he followo'

Washington, Aprl IL. President
Harding in his first address to congress
today announced that he would approve
n "decaratory resolution" by congress
with qualifications essential to pro-
tect all our rights which would end
the technical state of war against the
central powers of Europe"
The president added, however. that
1t would be idle to declare for sepslr-
ate treaties of peace, with the central
powers on the assumption alone that
these would be adequate, because the
situation Is so involved that our peace
engagements cannot ignore the old
world relationships and the settlements
do 50 IN preserving our own rights and
contracting our future relationships.
Although declaring unreservedly
against 'thc existing league of nations
the president said:
THE visor course would seem to be
The acceptance Of the confirmation Of
our rights and interests as already pro-
vided and 10 engage under the exist
.ng treaty, assuming of course. that
this can be satisfactorily achieved by
such explicit reservations and modifi-
cations as will secure our absolute free
dom from inadvisabe commitments and
safeguard all our essential interests"
An association of nations, the presi-
dent said, could not be founded until
the world was ut peace.

sans as well as the neutrol fans
in attendance. From now on it
