Elizabeth MOrrissey, 15 Years Old,
Taken by Tony ZephO,
Austrian, "a.

GaIesburg, Ill, Oct. 11.-Local
authorities today were still without
clues as to the whereabouts of Tony
Zepho, "a year old Austrian of this
city, accused of kidnapping 15-year-
old Elizabeth Morrissey from her
fathers home here Saturday night
A younger sister of the missing
girl told officers that ZephO, Miss
Morrissey and two other Austrian
men, were headed for Joliet where
they were to seek a pardon for
Rocco Evon, former Galesburg Aus
trian who was sent to the peniten-
tiary six years ago for murder of
Jaco Zepho, a cousin of the kid
naper.
From there she said they intend
ed to go to Chicago, and then to
Wisconsin, where it was planned
for Zepho and Miss Morrissey to be
married.

DOLLARS WILL
BUY MORE NOW.
SAY PETERSENS

Although the average buyer may
have fewer dollars at his disposal
than he had last year or in the
years Of the war, his dollars will
buy more now than in those years
of plenty. Decrease in prices has
brought about the accompanying in
crease in purchasing power of the
dollar.
And while salaries and wages are
lower now than in the war period
and whereas there is less money
to be spent. the dollar viii buy so
much more today than it would
during 1920 and the years immedi-
ately preceding that one need not
hesitate to buy the many things
which one has been wanting and
needing. for some time. The in
creased purchasing power of the
dollar more than compensates for
the decrease in number of dollars.
A convincing demonstration OF
this fact will be put on By the ].
H. c. Petersen's Sons Co. depart
ment store this week. The man
agement of the store, knowing that
there has been a substantial lower
ing of prices in the past year and
believing that the average buyer is
not fully aware of the fact. has
planned a big sale in all DEPART
ments of the store to give the peo-
pie of the tri-cities and vicinity an
opportunity to supply their needs
for the fall and winter at really low
prices.
To give buyers a chance to ap-
preciate the difference of prices
since 1920, each article in the sale
| is marked with the present
selling price and also the price at
| which the article would have sold
in 1920. Great preparations have
been made by the store to make this
sale a successful one and the goods
in the various departments have
been purchased by competent buy
ers who have studied market con-
ditions and price valuations New
items from fresh stock will be Of
fered each day.
The store has been planning the
sale for some time and has lately
run an advertising ''teaser" that
has caused much comment. A face
Will inc lSLLtfS u L-O-O-h lOA-
lowed by an exclamation point
forming the features has occasioned
many questions. The completed
sentence Look! And see how your
dollars have grown in buying pow
er since 1920" will be the watch
word of the sale.
In the editorial in the stores ad-
vertisement last evening explaining
the sale and the effort of the store
to demonstrate to people that the
power of the 1891 dollar is so close
to the buying power of the 1914 dol
lar that there is little or no differ
| ence, the following apt illustration
| of the point is included:
Back in the good old days before
| the war, Mr- and Mrs Average Per
son went to the market with a dol
lar bill in their pocket. they
| brought back their purchases in a
little express wagon
During the war and up to the
middle of 1920, they went to the
same market, but this time they
| carried their money in the express
wagon and brought home their pur-
chases in their vest pocket
Since 1920 we have slowly, but
surely, been returning to the days
when the little express wagon was
used as the conveyor of merchan-
disc rather than money.

CmisNeIn Act FOR THE STOR< LUNCHEON

amends the farm loan act by increas-
ing the depository privileges Of the
federal land banks with the treasury
from $6,0O0000 to $31 100000. Without
such privileges the system would have
found itself within the last month
without any available loanabie funds.
for the reason that experienced bond
statesmen advised the federal authori-
ties Of the unwisdom Of attempting an
other sale Of the farm-loan bonds so
shortly after the close of the previous
Offering.
The Curtis Nelson act makes GER
tain, SO long as bonds can be sold, the
continuous, uninterrupted loaning op-
eratiOns of the federal farm loan svs-
TEN. 1t is estimated that there is
demand in this country for such a
character of investment as our farm
loan bonds to the extent Of 100000. 20
900 year. The machinery of the farm
loan system, operating normally, is
capable OF putting this amount of
money annually into the hands Of the
farm borrowers.
Assuming that these facts are war
ranted, the conclusion follows that the
enactment Of this legislation shall re-
suit In the liquidation of about $1,000
100000 of debts annually.

AT Last, a National Military Policy
A n AUTHORIZED statement, with
IA the title, AT last, national mill I

A n AUTHORIZED statement, with
IA the title, "At last, national mill
tary policy" has been issued from
the War department, prepared by Col
John McA. Palmer 1t deals with the
national defense law, which President
Harding has described as establishing
'an economical and democratic mill
tary policy thoroughly consistent with
our national traditions" After explain
ing the law providing for a small reg
ular army, to be augmented by trained
citizen forces from the National Guard
and National army reserve in event of
national emergency, the statement
says, in part:
1T is our traditional military policy
that we are to maintain a small reg
uar or standing army in time of
peace, and this small peace establish
ment is to be augmented, or re-en-
forced, by great armies of citizen sol
diers when national emergency calls
for greater forces. The defeat of our
military system in the past has been
that the organization of these larger
forces has been deferred until after
the declaration of war.
1.-THE obvious remedy was simply to
provide for their organization in time
of peace. This is the underlying,
