conference because of the enlarge
ment of its scope by President Hard

Senator Pat Harrison OF mississippi
and one or two other courageous men,
aroused the NatiJn to the point where
the President had to call the big pow
ers together to discuss the reduction
of armaments. But in doing go. the
| President left Senator Borah and his
colleagues far behind. The Western
er had only one idea in mind. and that
was the actual reducing OF armament.
President Harding issued the sum-
found that subjects foreign to the is
sue had been included.
Far Eastern matters were named,
and Japan was practically lashed in
TO accepting them. But when the
President felt that everything was
settled for the breaking OF the bread
of international brotherhood, steps
forward Baron okuma, the former
Japanese Premier. and announces
biandly that the far eastern questions
which Mr.. Harding named are accom-
plished facts. and that if the confer

THE TRUTH IN PRINT.

"You can't believe everything YOU

ing. generally repeated today by dis
gruntled politicians who have been
deferred from crooked activities by
the calcium light of publicity. But
| it is true that occasionally fiction masks
as fact in the newspapers, just as men
repeat stories which they believe, but
that later are labelled as untrue. In
such cases il is not the newspaper
that is at fault, but the man who gaye
the information to the newspapers.
Recently the country was startled
by a news story, which said that the
Department of Commerce announced
that il was believed that pirates had
been operating off the Atlantic coast
and that the disappearance of several
vessels was laid to followers of the
Jolly Roger. In proof of the Depart
ment's contention, newspaper men
were shown paper. taken from a

which read as follows:
"Deering captured by oil burning
ship, something like a chaser, taking
off everything. Handwriting crew: crew
hiding all over ship: no chance to es-
cape; please notify headquarters of
Deering."
"Deeringa was the schooner Carroll
A. Deering. which then was long over
due at its destination. shortly after
that message was found and given TO
the Department of Commerce, the
Deering was found wrecked off the
North Carolina coast. When coast
guards reached it there was no one
aboard-not even dead bodies, so
official Washington became excited
and began to hunt pirates.

facts. just as they were given out TO
the Washington correspondents. Now

will not begin TO hit the market until
the middle of the month.
An Uncertain Market
Meanwhile, throughout the bust
ness. there is a terrible suspense. So
far there have been scarcely any
sales. There is no rush Of buyers into
the market such as there was last
/. year. What is the reason? preslim-
ably there are just as many home
wine, makers in the country this year
az last. The crop is short and that
should make for high prices. OF
course, times are a bit hard. People
have not as much money TO spend on
luxuries as they had last year. And
yet IL seems probable that the man
who made wine last year will make
II again this year. The evident fact
that Congress is afraid to pass a law
which would legalize raids on home

So the question can be argued Pre-
and con. The fact remains that SO
far there is little activity in the grape
market. The probable reason is that
the market is a vast and unknown
one which it is impossible to study.
Formerly Is consisted of few large

Nobody knows what those millions of

and it is impossible TO take a census
and find out. Therefore grapes will

and timidly, and the prices they fetch

A government expert, who has

has overtaken it. Men are overcrop-
