RETAIL PRICES AS
LOW AS is POSSIBLE
SAYS LOCAL GROCER

That the retail grocery prices in
this city are as low as is possible
under any circumstance was the state
ment of Otto Muenchow, proprietor of
store at the head of Grand ave-
nue., madeSto The Pilot after hearing
of Attorney General Daugherty's state
ment made at Washington last week.
Retail prices are altogether too
HIGH" said Mr.. Daugherty, according
to news dispatches. "They are out of
line with the prices paid for raw ma
terials and the prices paid the whole
salers." The attorney general also is
particularly interested in breaking up
trade associations organized for the
purpose of crushing competition,
which result in profiteering.
81 don't believe this is the case in
Wausau,' said Mr.. Muenchow. 1T
doesn't seem to me that conditions
here can be bettered. In larger CEN
tiers they have reason to believe that
such is the case. In smaller town
like this competition is keen, keeping
prices as low as possible"

DEBS AS RED AS EVER
Says He Is Not Citizen Of the
United States.
Freed Socialist Spends Hour With
President Harding and Attorney
General Daugherty.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Eugene v.
Debs told President Harding at the
White House that three years in
prison had not changed his convic-
lions.
After half an hour with the Presi-
dent the veteran Socialist walked to
his hotel and on the way said merely
that he and the President had ex-
chsnged views frankly. Without say
ing this was what he told the Presi-
dent, Debs added:
II never was prisoner. They
locked up my body, but they could not
put hand on what was inside of
me-"
When asked to comment on his loss
of citizenship, the Socialist leader
said:
II am not citizen of the United
States but a citizen of the world. A
man who is a convict for his convic-
tons Is everywhere a citizen in good
standing by virtue of his own God
given inherited sovereignty"
II have received a cali from Mr..
Debs," the attorney general said. 81
volunteered no advice to him and he
asked none. There We're no unusual
conditions attached TO his commuta-
ton. His call ON me was on his own
volltion.
II have nothing further TO say re-
garding his case except that hope he
may direct his talents to useful pur-
pose. And | trust that the notorlety
he has. received may not be CONNER
clalized.
81 say this because observe gather
ing about him and undertaking to
promote him, persons who have not
the best interests of the country or So
ciety nj heart.
His life's efforts. pursuing as he
has until now, when he is again free
man, Il theory erroneous in principle,
should not be commerCialized.
II expect shortly to give out for
publication recommendations In the
Debs case.
MY object in doing this will he to
refresh the memory of the American
people of Debs' violations of the law
and 10 inform them of the reasons for
his communication. l hope II will be
educational"

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE WOMAN WHO "SoLD" ENG
LAND.
BY JAMEs'C. YOUNG.

ENRIETTA STUART was a cold
L i and fastidious beauty with the
pale loneliness and slight coloring of
the consumptive. She was born in
1914. the daughter of Charles l, who
died on the block. Her mother fled
to France, leaving Henrietta with a
trusted woman. This woman after
ward disguised the young miss as a
hoy and started 10 leave the country.
All the way to Dover she protested
that she was not "a ragged boy" but
"the princess" Fortunately her child
sh prattle was not understood.
In France Henrietta grew TO early
beauty, and AT seventeen was married
TO Philippe. Due d'Orleans, the only
brother of Louis NV. The king loved
her. and II was through her that he
met Louise de la VALERIE
When Henrietta lost her hold over
Louis she became involved in an affair
with the Comte Armand de Guiche.
They were separated, TO meet again ut
masked bali. AS the two were talk
Ing they saw Philippe approaching.
De Guche hurried down the stairs.
Henrietta tainted and fell the length
of the flight-into De Clutches arms.
That almost cost him his head.
Although Louis had put Henrietta
aside she undertook secret mission
for him TO her brother, Charles III of
England. And through her a treaty
was negotiated by which Charles I'M
dertook to join Louis In an invasion
OF Holland, and TO renounce Protestant
ism for Catholicism, all for heavy
price. II England rebelled. France
was TO send troops and more money.
Historians have called this treaty "the
sale OF England 10 France" but II new
er was carried out.
For this Important service Henri
eta enjoyed the high favor of Louis.
She deteSted her husband, a queru-
lous fop, and her love affairs were
many. But II Is doubtful II she ever
truly loved anyone for her abiding
passion was n worship of ceremony,
fire clothes. entertainments and all
the gallantrles of the court. She was
an elusive beauty who inspired affec-
ton in many hearts. but Il would seem
TO have been her pleasure 20 toy with
the FIRE of life rather than TO play
with II.
When only twenty.slx she fell mys-
terlously III, and many have believed
that she was poisoned. No evidence
could be found. The king came TO her
In her last moments and was SO dis
tresSed at her sufferings that he sug-
gested leaving. But she begged him
to stay. saying, II suppose that
must die according 10 etiquette and
repressed all signs Of her agony until

MEMBER OF HOUSE
HAS WEEVIL TRAP

= 'Yes, sir" said Representative S.
J.>Sellers of Chesterfield county
last night, 81 have at home an in
sect exterminator that is some mur-
derer when it comes to bugs. You
can open up that insect extermina-
tor Of mine in room and watch the
flies 60 down its throat just like
chickens going into your garden to
scratch up everything you have
planted.
"And what is more" he continued,
"ryou can set this exterminator of
mine up in field at night, put an
electric bulb at each of it's mouths
start the suction to working and boil
weevils, moths and everything that
flies will go down it's pipes like
frogs down a cranes throat.
Representative Sellers has his in
Ventlon patented and ne has a
model of it at home. 1t is composed
of fly wheel, which creates pow
erful suction in a flexible tube
which has bell shaped mouth, This
mouth can be moved about and Rep
resentative Sellers says that every
fly that comes within its range "just
disappears like quarter IN some of
these restaurants"
The larger machine is intended to
be set up in q, cotton field, has many
mouths and looks somewhat like a
giant octopus. At night the mouths
contain an electric bulb to draw
flying insects; in the day, the
mouths '' are to be equipped with
bait.
"If I were to put this machine in
the house of representatives" said
the Chesterfield citizen last night,

it would do."-The State.

HARDING TO PAY
TAX ON INCOME
Woodrow Wilson Was Held Ex.
empt-Government Will Get
Nearly One-fourth of
Next Presidents
Salary

Washington, Feb. 1.-Warren G.
Harding as president of the United
States will receive something like
$4,000 less compensation from the
government annually than Woodrow
Wilson has received.
The treasury will pay Mr.. Hard
ing the same amount that it pays
Mr.. Wilson-S75,000 annually
but internal revenue bureau officials
say that Mr.. Harding must return
nearly one-fourth of this in income
tax.
President Wilson was exempted
from the income tax under a su-
preme court ruling because he came
into Office before the enactment of
the 1913 revenue laws, under which
taxes were sought to be imposed on
the salaries of the president and of
federal judges. The supreme court
held that the tax could not be col
lected in the case of incumbents be-
cause of the constitutional inhibi-
tion against the reduction of the
salaries of the executive and feder-
al judges during their terms of Of
flee.
The solicitor general. has ruled
that the tax could be collected from
officials taking office after the law
became effective, because that
would not bring about any reduc-
tion in salary during the term of Of
flee.
= Revenue bureau officials say that
Mr.. Harding, of course, will be al
lowed the usual exemption of ST.
900 a year for a married man and
may claim certain exemptions. Plac-
ing his exemptions at $4,000 yearly,
however, they figure his normal in
come tax at $5,48O, and his surtax
at $12,940, a total of $1S,420.
President Wilson is understood to
have paid some taxes under the
1918 law before the supreme court
ruled on the section, which a feder-
al judge attacked, but revenue bu-
reau Officials will not say how mucn
nor whether it was refunded, hold
ing that under the law such matters
are confidential.

Washington, Feb. IA request
from President-elect Harding that
special session Of the new senate be
called for March a, to confirm cabi-
net and other appointments to be
made by the incoming executive,
was conveyed today to President
Wilson. Such a session is customary
when there is a change of admin
strations and it usually lasts only a
week at most.
The president-elect's request was
contained in a telegram received by
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
the republican leader, and was con-
veyed to the White House by Sena-
tor Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic leader.
Nearly a score Of new senators
were elected last November and in
order for them to be here by March
4 the call for the special session
would have to go out ten days or
more in advance of that date. After
the present session ends, the new
senate would meet and the new
members would be sworn in. The
senate then would be ready to act
upon Mr.. Harding's nominations.
The call for the special session of
the new congress would be issued by
Mr.. Harding after his Inauguration.
1t is expected that this session will
begin either late in March or early
in April.
