WALLACE SAYS LINES
MUST REDUCE RATES
RAILWAYS SHOULD BE WILLING
TO SHARE BURDENS OF PRES
ENT CONDITIONS.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 90
Railroads must share with the farm
ers and others the burden of the
present economic situation by reduc-
ing freight rates. Secretary Wallace
said today before the interstate COM
merce commission, which is investi-
eating rates on grain and hay.
High freight rates have stopped
production, the secretary said, add
ing that IL the present .tuation con-
tinued production from the farms
would be reduced materially.
I'VE cannot afford to let our agri-
culture be destroyed" he declared.
I'm attempting to relieve the distress
of the farmers we are dealing with
great economic forces. All our peo-
pie ought to share the burden of the
present depression"
The farmer was now bearing more
than his share of the economic load,
he said, because the purchasing pow
er of farm products was below the
average of other commodities. He
presented figures to show that in
Iowa the purchasing power of oats
was AZ per cent of what it was from
1909 to 1914.

Fulfills Vow When
Husband Receivers

Lisbon, Aug. 20.-A curious sight
was witnessed in the streets OF Lis
hon lust after dawn recently. Maria
Conceicao, wife of a workman, was
seen dragging herself painfully on
her knees from her house through
the busy streets to the Church or
Our Lady of Health, thus carrying
out a VOW made during the illness OF
her husband, in case of his recov-
cry.
The distance from her house 10
the church was over two miles and
long before she had accomplished
one-half of her pilgrimage, her knees
were torn by the stones and her
dress was stained with blood.
Maria's husband, young tinman,
fell seriously i'll about six months ago
and was given up by the doctors. His
devoted wife tended him with un-
tiring care and love and when 1t was
thought that he was dying, she pray
ed for a miracle that should save
his life, making VOW that IL ne
recovered she would go on her knees,
as a sign of Thanksgiving, to the
shrine of The Lady of Health.
The husband recovered and ne
wife has mulfilled her vow.

ESCAPED CONV|CTS
ARE Captured
FOREMAN AND WHITMARSH WHO
CAPPED FROM "PEN" TUES
DAY sPIED BY FARMER.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 20.-Liberty for
Joe Foreman and Lewis Whitmarsh,
third term prisoners at the South
Dakota penitentiary, was short lived.
A little more than As hours after
they had escaped by means of false
key and a rope that permitted them
to scale the 30-foot wall. they We're
back in the cells. Their recapture
was effected near Canton about
O'Clock Thursday afternoon by SHEER
iff Kundert of Lincoln county and a
posse.
How the men were able to get out
of the prison on Tuesday morning
has not definitely been learned yet.
An investigation of possible means
of aid to the prisoners has been
quietly conducted since the escape
and Warden Jamison stated today 1t
would disclose the whole story in
time.
A tip as TO the whereabouts OF
Foreman and Whitmarsh came
Thursday from Canton. ID. NJ. Wa
tenberger, a farmer living four miles
west or Canton, was approached by
two men Thursday morning about IL
O'Clock. They asked for drink of
water. Watenberger at once sus-
pected them and going into the
house, obtained his copy OF We'd
nesday's Argus-Leader with the pic=
lures of the Observation-Disclosures. Rec
ognizing instantly that they were the
right men, he telephoned Sheriff
Kundert at Canton and the latter
proceeded to get a posse to follow
the men.
All day long tIfe posse trailed the
prisoners who lodged from cornfleld
TO cornfield, but il was not until
O'Clock that they were actually seen
and at once seized. They had moth
ing TO say and since morning had
not proceeded far as they were
caught at a point eight miles south
of Canton. Warden Jamison was no
titled and went down personally and
brought the men back to the penl-
tertiary last evening.
Foreman, who is said to be the
leader, is a quarterblood Indian ana
is serving seven years for automoDile
stealing in Hyde county. There is
possibility. it was said today, that
he may be taken into the circuit
court and given sentence of five years
additional for breaking jail.
whitmarsh is serving 25 years for
a fiendish crime in this county COM
mitted six years ago and is of the de-
generate type.

WOOD MEASURE
LAID ON TABLE
HOUSE MILITARY COMMITTEE
SAYS 1T WOULD SET UP A
DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 20.-The
administration bill decigned to au-
thorize Maj. Gen. Wood to become
governor general of the Philippines
without retiring as an active officer
of the army, was laid on the table
today by the house military commit
tee with a record vote. Committee
men were said to have held it would
be dangerous precedent to estab-
lish.
Practically all committee members
were reported to have favored tabl-
ing the measure, which makes it GER
tain that the bill will not come to a
vote in the house.
No criticism of Gen. Wood was ex-
pressed at the committee session, il
was said, members agreeing that he
would make an excellent governor
and should accept President Hard
ing's offer. The opinion was reported
to be equally general, however, that
it would be a dangerous precedent to
permit army officers, without resign
ing their commissions. to accept ci-
william posts.
Gen. Wood, it was argued, should
retire from the army if he wished to
accept the island post.

RURAL CARRIERS
GOOD SESSION
LOCAL MEN RETURN FROM
STATE CONVENTION AT YANK-
TON.

From every standpoint the State
Rural Mail Carriers convention, just
closed at Yankton, proved both prof
liable and successful. This is the
report brought back by the Madison
delegation who made the return trip
from the convention city by auto.
c. S. McVay, of Egan avenue
south, and carrier on a rural route
leading south and west of this city,
is president of the state association
that has voted to go to Mitchell next
summer He and Mrs. VIM. Dixon
drove TO Yankton on the first day
of the convention and remained over
the entire session.
The convention program was con-
sidered the best in years and the at
tendance showed a large increase.
Besides the speakers engaged regu-
larly for discussion on matters. relat-
ing to rural carriers work the con-
vention attendance had the pleasure
of having with them federal depart
ment officers who gave interesting
addresses. This is the first instance
where higher officials favored any
South Dakota carriers convention.
The visit was appreciated by all pres
ent.
Both Mr.. Dixon and McVay were
pleased TO note the growth OF me
association in one year. Twelve
months ago only a struggling number
demonstrated any particular interest
in uniting of forces and joining the
state organization. From seventy
eight. on the association list last
year the number in 1920 has in
creased to two hundred forty-nine,
and still the interest is growing.
In 23 counties of the state the
carriers are organized locally. These
were fully represented at Yankton
this year. Real headway is being
made in putting many other coun-
ties under organization and the OIL
GERS and members of the Lake county
association have spent much time OF
late in uniting the carriers IN NC
Cook. Miner and Moody counties.
This is all for the good of the service
that contributes in large measure 10
the happiness and convenience OF the
rural districts served.
During the business session at the
end of the formal program all OF the
incumbent state association Officers
were reelected. At the business
meeting no grievance or memorial TO
the federal department was consid-
cred. Working hours, working con-
ditions, present rules and regula-
'tions and all inspection and supervl-
sion throughout the state appears to
be entirely satisfactory to the large
body of rural mail carriers who are
engaged in a most useful occupation
that puts country people in imme-
date daily touch with their friends
and brings to each door every the
freshest news from all quarters o.
the globe. Before the association
closed at Yankton Frank ]. Kadlac
of Scotland, was elected state dele
gate TO the meeting of the national
convention that is to be held in the
federal capital next month.

Many young farmers purchasing

abnormal prices were foreclosed

HAY FEVER VICTIMS
ASSURED OF CURE
NAPRAPATHS DECLARE DISEASE
is CAUSED BY SHORT LIGA-
MENT ALONG SPINAL coll
UMN.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-There is
simple cure for hay fever victims, ac-
cording to the National association
of Naprapaths, who are holding their
twelfth annual convention here. They
also declare that if they were turn
ed loose in the insane asylums of
the country they would have SO per
cent of the inmates free within
short time.
Hay fever, the naprapaths declare,
is caused by a short ligament along
the spinal column which produces a
nervous irritation rendering the vic
tim susceptible to the pollen which
the air is filled with in the late
summer. BY getting this ligament
stretched the victim will be relieved
Immediately.
For the benefit of the layman, 1t
might be explained that naprapathy
is the science of treatment by mani
pulation of the ligaments. The hu-
man body. as explained by DR..
Charles Inion Smith, president of
the Chicago College of Naprapathy
is like a harp or piano, with the
ligaments as strings. If one of these
ligaments gets stretched, it has the
same effect on the system as III one
of the strings on a musical instru-
ment were out of tune. From these
ligaments radiate nerves. IL follows
that if the ligament is too tight the
nerve that emerges from it cannot
function properly. BY the manipula-
ton of these ligaments many cases
of insanity have been cured.

GERMAN AMERICAN
PEACE TER M s
GERMANY MAY APPEAL TO IN
TERNATIONAL ARBITRA-
TION.

Berlin, Aug. 20.-Germany may
appeal many of the issues contained
in the German-American peace treaty
TO international arbitration. The
treaty, it was learned, does not con-
tain a declaration of Germany's guilt
in starting the war. Germany would
have flatly refused to sign and such
and admission been included. In
many quarters the feeling prevailed
that the difficulties of the prelim-
mary negotiations between DR. Ros-
en-, foreign minister, and Ellis Lorn-
ing Dresel, American commissioners,
had been smoothed out.
