Turn Trouble
.., Into Profit

The real optimist these days is the
man who can turn his troubles into
profit. j. D. MacKay, one of the ,popu-
lar and lovable liars on the Lambert
vile Rubber Co. Sales Staff, has done
that in the above cartoon. Rubber
boots are no good in the desert of
Sahara. The business world has for
months been as dry and arid as the
Sahara, and to make profit of the
"dryness" of business, "Mac" has
utilized the above cartoon in cir
cular to his trade out in Mississippi
and Arkansas.
The cartoon was drawn by W. B.
Harlan, staff artist on the CONNER
cal Appeal in Memphis. 1t is in this
town that MAC" and "Scotty" (W.
B. Scott meet when on their sales
trips. Recently Mr.. Harlan saw them
there at the Gayosa Hotel, and Mae"
was moping around like the dead lice
were dropping off him. So Harlan
asked what in the name of Helen
Damnation was the matter. Mac re-
piled that sixty days rain was the
only thing that would save him. So
the above cartoon was drawn by Mr..
Harlan on the strength of it.
Here's hoping that Mae" and
"Scotty'' will have a flood thruout
their territory that will equal the
one old Father Noah had in by-gone
days.

PRESIDENT RESTS
AFTER PILGRIM FETE

President Harding went to Ply
mouth by water, and after attending
the Pilgrim fete he had several days
of rest at Secretary Weeks country
home in the mountains near Lancas-
ter, N. ii. During his absence the
congressional conference committee,
after long and seemingly inexcusable
delay, agreed on the Sweet soldier re-
lief bill, and its report was adopted
by both houses. 1t was certainty
that the President would lose no time
in affixfng his signature to this law,
which will reorganize and consolidate
the various government agencies for
the relief and care of the veterans of
the great war who through wounds or

some arrangement made for giving
them plain food until they can find
employment.

PRESIDENT RETURNS
FROM HOLIDAY

1t was announced in Washington
that soon after the Presidents re-
turn from his New England holiday,
the formal invitations to the confer
ence on limitation of ornaments and
far eastern questions would be is
sued. Mr. Harding still favors No
vember 11-Armistice day-for the
opening date, and the other powers
may agree to this. Great Britain has
abandoned any idea of a preliminary
conference on Pacific matters since
the American government has ex-
pressed Its entire willingness that the
agenda for the conference shall be ar
ranged upon in advance. Converse
tons in regard TO the program will
begin Immediately after the issuance
and acceptance of the formal invi-
tations
Speaking at the tercentenary cele-
bration of the landing of the Pilgrims,
in Plymouth, Mass, President Har-
ding declared his belief that the dis
armament conference would bring to
the whole world a new era of peace
and freedom. Said he: 1.-THE inter
national prospect is more than prom

at home are symptomatic of early re-
covery. Solvent financially, sound

ORDERS
INVESTIGATION

David Fl. Blair, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, has been prying into
the conduct of affairs in his bureau
and has made such discoveries that
he has ordered Assistant Commission

employees that are said to have been
made, include the giving out Of in

law, to persons who desired them for

Former Base Ball
Members Acquitted

me seven former members of the
Chicago White SoX ball team and two
alleged accomplices who were charged
with conspiring to throw games in the
worlds series of 1919, have been ac-
quilted by Chicago jury, apparently
because the jurors did not think the
specific intent to defraud the public
and the baseball owners was aStab-
lished by the prosecution. At once
the question arose whether or not the
players should be reinstated ia or
ganiZed baseball. Judge Lands, high
commissioner of baseball, replied
promptly and decisively that mo play
er who undertakes or promises to
throw a ball game, no player who sits
in a conference with bunch of crook
ed players and gamblers where the
ways and means of throwing games
are planned and does not promptly
tell his club about it will ever play
professional baseball"
AS to the moral guilt of the accused
ball players, the American public has
had little or no doubt, and its belief
win not be altered by the verdict of
the jury which probably was made
necessary by the technicalities of the
law.

HunterdOn Bends Explained

The $4,000. bond issue by the
Hunterdon Board of Freeholders, ad-
vertised elsewhere in this issue, is
not to cover a general deficit, but
is resistance to meet payment
on one year bonds sold last year. On
September Is, 1920, a short time bond
issue of S153,OOO, was sold to the
Gibbons Co. in New York City, at 512
per cent payable in one year.
Recently the Freeholders advertised
the issue to cover this, at the old
rate. So percent interest. Heretofore
bonds had not been offered for sale
to people of Hunterdon County. John
J. Horn, Republican member of the
Board, insisted that the county should
have a chance to buy them. Accord
ingly they We're offered for sale in
this county. But the fluctuating
values Of the market made it diff
cult to dispose of them at 5la per
cent. Only $4,000. of the bonds were
sold at this rate, and the new adver-
tisement provides for them to pay 6
per cent interest. 1t is hoped that the
entire issue can be sold to residents
of Huntrdon County.

Brick Plant Near
ing Completion

New Hope Work upon the new
brick manufacturing plant of the
American Clay Products Company is
being pushed, and about 100000
brick are said to have been purchased
from outside sources to complete the
big kilns now ready for erection. 1t
it believed that the plant will be
ready for supplying brick early next
year, and that when completed its
cost will run up well toward million
dollars. Construction has been under
way since May of last year.
The Reading Railway track into the
grounds of the clay company has been
about completed, it now being posi-

This will probably be the costliest
manufacturing plant in this vicinity,
if not in Bucks County, and will en-
ploy as large number of people as
any other industry in this section.
The first output will probably be
around 100000 brick per day. most

this will eventually be increased to
half million or more.

COUNCIL BEING
HELD IN PARIS

AS has been said the interallied SUI
preme council is now in session in
Paris. The main topic for discussion
Is the Upper Silesian question:, which
Is being handled by the representa-
tives of Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan. Colonel Harvey Ameri-
can ambassador to England, also was
invited to attend, and if the question
of war guilt comes up the representa-
tives of Belgium will be asked to par
ticipate. In conciliating France, the
other allies have admitted the posi-
bility or probability of sending rein
forcements for the Silesian garrison
and have told Berlin to provide for
their transportation across Germany
which Berlin probably will do, though
with bad grace. Germany continues
to accuse the Poles of committing
shocking outrages on the German in
habitants of Silesia, and the French
of giving the Poles support, and Ber-
lin has issued a White Book to sub
stantiate these charges.

Entering War for CargOes

British shipping interests and those
of America as represented by the fed
eral shipping board are entering a
war for cargoes that may have far
reaching results. 1t all started with
the efforts of some American ship OPP
orators to get a share of the cotton
carrying business from Egypt. They
were told the British ship owners
would fight to the finish to hold on
to all of that business, whereupon the
London representative of the board
warned the British that retaliatory
measures would be adopted. Both
sides have cut rates, and the Ameri-
can board has reduced insurance val
uations to meet the competition. The
question involved, says a statement
from Chairman Lasker's office, is
whether British ship owners are go
ing to keep the American merchant
marine from getting its fair share of
the business on the seas. "The world
may as well know that we are going
to establish what American rights are
and then get those rights"

Passed by Congress.
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Americans who have long been held
prisoners by the Russian Bolsheviki
have been released, unless latest re-
ports are misleading, and America, I'M
officially but energetically, has gone
to the relief of the starving, pesti-
hence stricken Russians. Agents of
Mr.. BoOver's organization already are
distributing food and medicines, and
the American Red Cross and other
agencies are cooperating in the ire
mendous task. Walter L. Brown is
directing the relief measures from
Riga, and there rs no lack of volun-
iteers for the work in Russia, for
scores of persons of many nationali-
ties have offered their services, some
being actuated by curiosity, some by
altruism and some by the desire to
get into Russia to find out what has
become of relatives and friends.
Premier BRAND of France has sug-
gested that the supreme council, in
session this week in Paris, consider
allied cooperation with America in
the Russian relief work.

list mainly in the great Volga valley,
and the inhabitants are moving from
1t in vast hordes. The Russian au,
thorities are trying to direct the flight
of the refugees toward Siberia and
the Ukraine and to keep them away
from the cities. 1t is the swift spread
of cholera that is alarming the ma
tions bordering Russia on the west.
Some of these, notably Poland, have
modified large numbers of troops
along their frontiers to turn back the
hordes that are carrying the pest
along with them. Despite these pre-
cautions, Berlin papers say cholera al
ready has appeared in Warsaw and
that there is danger of an epidemic
of the disease in Danzig and other sea
ports The soviet commissioner Of
health says the task of fighting the
pestilence is made terribly difficult by
the horrible sanitary condition
throughout virtually the entire coun-
try, and by the mass migration, as
it had been maliciously planned, dis
tributing the infection from one place
to another for thousands and tens of
thousands of versts. The starving
population of the Yolga is moving to
the south as an avalanche, sowing on
its way infection and death"

HELP DOUBTFUL
FOR RUSSIA

Help from the outside world, though
besought by Lenin, is looked on with
suspicion by some of his more radical
colleagues. They declare the plight
of soviet Russia will be taken advan-
tage of by the enemies of Bolshevism
who will plan new counter-revolutions
That some of the latter have the same
idea is indicated by the fact that Alex
ander Kerensky has been comforting
with the French government. 1t is re-
ported that he expects the downfall
of Lenin and Trotzky, and that France
might proffer him support and indorse
Russia's claim TO possession Of Con-
stantinople if he could establish a sta
BILE government which would guaran-
tee the payment of Russia's old debt
to France. Italy, too might favor
this; but Great Britain wants Greece
to have the Turkish capital.
Moscow on Wednesday sent out
wireless message asking all other gov
ernments to evacuate their nationals
from southern Russia as soon as pos
sible because there was no food for
tnem. Inc Foreigners, IL Is saSu, we're
to leave from Odessa but as all trans
portation has broken down there is
seemingly no way for them to reach
that city from the interior. 1t is not
only transportation that has broken
down. The present crisis has brought
to light figures that show the almost
absolute collapse of industry and pro-
duction under the soviet regime, Pa
per and coal are the only industries
showing in 1920 an output Of as much
as 20 per cent of the pre-war produc-
ton.
