AMERICAN DOLLAR
co MI c BACK
NO LONGER ENACTTNG ROLE OF
32-CENT WAR IMITATION.

Chicago, April 5.-That sturdy old
friend. the American dollar, is COM
ing back and displacing the miser-
able 32-cent imitation that has been
posing as a dollar for the last three
or four years. Here are some evil
dences that Mr. Dollar is functioning
again:
The dollar today will buy ten
pounds of sugar. The dollar of 1920
bought only three and three-fourths
pounds.
The dollar now buys twenty
pounds of rice as against six pounds
in 1920.
The dollar now buys sixty pounds
of potatoes as against eleven and a
half in 1920; sixteen and two-thirds
pounds of navy beans as against ele-
ven and three-quarters, year ago;
four dozen eggs, as against one doz-
en- year ago; three pounds of but
ter, as against one pound year ago,
and two and a half pounds of coffee
as against one and one-quarter
pounds of the same brand year ago.
The old dollar will also buy three
times as much clothing, and better
clothing; twice as many shoes, a
third more coal and nearly twice as
much of flour, lard, fruit and some
varieties of meats. 1t will, in some
instances, buy five or six times as
many vegetables.
The dependable old friend, the
nickel. is also staging a comeback.
During the war the nickel was rare
ly heard Of Ii would buy nothing,
not even a Sunday paper or the
cheapest sort OF cigar. but now many
articles that formerly sold for
nickel are back at the old stand and
doing a thriving business.

RESERVE SAILORS
ARE NOT EXEMPT
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH
DAKOTA HOLDS THEY DO NOT
BENEFIT IN TAX EXEMP-
TION LAW.

Pierre, April 5.-On inquiry from
the county auditor of Ziebach coun-
ty, the attorney general holds that
the moratorium privilege given sol
diers and sailors in the service of the
country in the late war, by which
they were exempt from payment OF
taxes, does not apply to sailors who
are on the reserve list and subject
to call, but not actually in the serv-
ice of the country.
As one of the features of the mar
keting problem which is receiving
more consideration at the present
time than has ever before been given
it, the question of the rights OF
farmers cooperative companies to
operate without capital stock is an
inquiry presented to the attorney
general by Don Livingston, head of
the state market department. In this
it is held that under the existing laws
such companies must fix an amount
of capital stock to give them a le-
gal standing, as they cannot legally
organize to carry on business activ-
tiles without such compliance. This
ruling will be of interest to many or
ganiZations of farmers who want to
combine for cooperative marketing,
but did not care to organize as stock
companies.

Roberts was killed instantly when

thrown upon the ice in the ditch with
such force that the impact of his

tween Lake Benton and Elkton with
out mishap, and ii was while on the
second trip that the accident occur

ALLIES DEBT
BIG PROBLEM
LONG TERM BONDS MAY COVER
LOANS TO EUROPE.

Washington, d. c., April 5.-Fi-
nancial and industrial subjects rang
ing from foreign loans to the domes-
tic agricultural situation were dis
cussed at length by President Hard
ing and his cabinet meeting.
1t was indicated that no definite
conclusions resulted and that the
railroad question among others still
awaited a solution, which can be
worked out only when the admins
tration has gathered complete infor-
nation
The discussion of European loans
outstanding as a result of the war
was in connection with the approach
of the time for an interest payment.
1t is understood that the president
and his cabinet talked over the feas-
ibility of converting the loans into
some sort of long term negotiable
bonds, but that a decision was re-
served
In its consideration of the rail-
road problem, the point that wage
and other contracts entered into
when the railroads were under gov
eminent control are still IN force,
was raised IN a telegram received by
President Harding from the railway
employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which pro-
posed that employers and employees
be called into a general conference
on the subject of railway reorganiza-
ton.
The president had not replied to
the telegram tonight, although there
were indications that he has no plan
for a general conference now in
mind Officials close to the execu-
tive expect him rather to work out
his policy through individual consul
tation with the managers, stockhold-
ers and employees.
In the cabinets discussion of the
question of continuing war time
agreements, it was brought out that
the issue involved far more than the
mere controversy between employer
and employe.
Argument was put forward that if
the contracts in question were to be
regarded as still in force, that would
remove the right of negotiation be-
tween the roads and men on many
wage disagreements. 1t also was
pointed out, however, that this ques-
tion was not directly before the pre-
sident, but rather was a nut to be
cracked by the railroad labor board.
In it's general review of business
conditions the cabinet took partic-
ular notice of agricultural produc-
tivity on which a report was made by
Secretary Wallace of the agricultural
department. The substance of his
opinion has previously been made
public in his appeals for relief to
agricultural interests.

Imports Of French
Champagne Increase

Washington, April Sick folks
apparently are making increasing use
of French champagne since prohibi-
ton went into effect. At least it
can be imported only for medicinal
use and department of commerce fig
ures show importations to the value
of $3s4.391 in 1920 against s1,15s
in 1919. Part of the difference, of
ficials pointed out, probably was due
to increased price of champagne but
that left notable increase in quanti-
ty of imports, they said
Efforts to get champagne admitted
as a sacramental wine have failed,
the regulations holding it strictly to
medicinal uses.

THOUSANDS IDLE
IN c HlCAG 0
CHARITIES BUREAU ASKS IN
CREASED FUNDS TO CARE FOR
HUNGRY.

Chicago, April 5.-One hundred
THOUSAND or more able bodied men
are walking the streets of Chica go
looking for work, according to a sur
vey made by the Association of Unit
ed Charities. Thousands of these
men have dependent wives and chill
dren. Their savings have been used
up and the merchants refuse them
furthr credit Many are threatened
with eviction from their homes,
while others are reported i'll and
hungry.
The united charities is asking for
$4,000 per month additional To care
for these cases. Ii is said conditions
are growing much worse. Ii is pro-
posed 10 open d municipal clearing
house for migratory workers and re-
open the municipal lodging house.
These conditions exist in face of
the fact that $500 100000 are ready
to be put into building projects as
soon as the labor unions agree TO re-
duce their scale from $1.25 an hour
to 81 an hour Contractors agree TO
start, within 80 days, building pro-
jects totaling 500, 100000 if this
change is made. This would mean
plenty of work for all sorts of men
for a long period, and it is regarded
as certain the unions, now voting on
the proposition, will accept the re-
duction The union chiefs rejected
the proposition, but referendum of
the workers themselves. Most OF
them admit it will be carried by an
overwhelming vote.

T r e atty Of

Washington, April 5-Doom of the
Versailles so far as the United
States is concerned was pronounced

convinced there is no practical way
in which the United States can con-
slider ratifying the treaty.
