Pueblo chieftain., 1921-10-07

There have been formal openings of
stores in Pueblo in times past but IT
has been seldom if ever that the peo-
pie have responded so generously as
they did last night, when over 5000
people passed thru the main entrance
nished, and beautifully rearranged
store. When you stop to think that
four months ago the White & Davis
store was completely destroyed and
everything in it ruined or washed
away, you cannot help wondering how
they have been able to produce the
beautiful stores they now have and
mems and womens merchandise which
was displayed last night to the admir-
ing gaze of more than 5000 people who
passed thru their new and beautiful
store between the hours of and 9
p m
But It is easily explained after all
Asbury White and Samuel f. Davis
are business men and merchants of
courage. Years ago when they opened
their big store at Third and Main it
required courage but they had it. and
they also had the farsightednsss to scs
and appreciate Pueblo's growth and
future. and the way in which they have
come out of the flood and disaster of
June . proves beyond question that
they still have faith in Pueblos future
progress and growth, because otherwise
they would never have spent the time
and money they have given to the re-
modelling and beautifying of their
magnificent place of business. and the
Chieftain and the $4,000 people of Pu-
ebio congratulate them upon the sue
cess of their efforts to reproduce some
thing bigger and better than they ever
had before-a store that would be

TOPEKAN GAINS PROMINENCE
Phillip w. Whitcomb, Son of District
Judge, in C. Of G.. Work.

Phillip w. Whitcomb, the son of
Judge George H. Whitcomb of the
Shawnee county district court, is
achieving prominence in the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce in London,
England.
The yearbook of the London Cham
Der has just been received by the To-
peka Chamber of Commerce. Whit
combs name is given as a member of
three important committees-on trade
information, on government policies
and regulation, and on the preparation
and publication of Anglo-American
Trade, monthly publication, and the
Year Book.
Whitcomb, on graduation from
Washburn college, was awarded a
Rhodes scholarship and went to Eng
land to study. After completing his
studying there he entered siness in
London, and is now located at 81
Wardour street, London, w. l.. as an
advertising consultant.
The American Chamber of Com
! merce in London is an organization
of nearly 900 American business men
and representatives of American bust
ness interests, whose purpose is to
. bring about the closest possible trade
relationship between Great Britain
and the United States, and to promote
the specific business interests of the
members. 1t has an associate MEM
bership of British firms, as well as the
active American membership.

TO RELIEVE HOME SHORTAGE
Building Plans Under Consideration
by Secretary Hoover.

Washington, J lily 18.-Plans for re-
1ieving the estimated shortage of
100000 homes turnout the country,
thru the diversion of a greater pro-
portion of the nations $4,000, 900, GOO
in savings deposits into home building,
are under consideration by Secretary
Hoover.
The commerce secretary considers
that there has been a tendency during
the past few years for the savings of
the people to find their way into COM
mercia1 paper, bonds and similar Sc
curities rather than into home build
ing, while critical housing situation
has developed, with about III families
Cor eachS 100 homes.
The-chieE reliance of the country in
the necessary financing Of home
building, in the opinion of Mr.. Hoover,
must be the savings institutions, with
a total of $4,000, 100000 available
from these sources. He believes it
will be found that the savings depart
ment of national banks, state banks,
trust companies and insurance COM
panies probably do not loan more
than 10 or Il per cent of their saw
ingS assets to housing.
Mr.. Hoover has suggested that 40
or so per cent of the nearly $160,000,-
600 of deposits in postal savings banks
could be diverted to this purpose as
well as a larger proportion of the saw
ings deposits of national banks thru
amendment to the federal reserve act.

GUEEKSOCCUPYCITYO KUTAIA
Turks Are Rushing Reinforcements
to Stop Advance in Anatolia.

Athens, July 16.-Greek troops have
occupied the city of Kutaia. an impor-
tant point on the southern branch of
the Bagdad railroad about rs miles
southeast of Brussa, it was declared
in a private dispatch received here
last night from Smyrna.
AdVices from Asia minor where the
Greeks are conducting a general Of
fensive against the Turkish national
lists, indicated yesterday the Turks

forces which started from TulubunaI
and marched in a northerly direction

pied the Ermanli mountain and de-
veloped an attack south of Kutaia on
strongly organized enemy positions.
A correspondent at the froLt in

HISTORIC BUILDING RUINED
Inmates Shrek in Terror as
Flames Spread Rapidly.
Detectives Hold Them Back
With Drawn RevOlvers.

Pittsburgh, July 1s.-A reported
outbreak of prisoners in the western
prison on the Ohio river here was fol-
lowed soon after noon today by fire
(which quickly destroyed ten frame
factory buildings within the enclosure.
Police and fire lines were drawn
tightly around the institution and de-
tailed reports of the outbreak were
unavailable. 1t was known however
that prison guards reinforced by city
police and deputy sheriffs armed with
rifles and riot guns were holding the
prisoners at bay while a heavy fire
fighting force was endeavoring to ex-
tinguish the flames.
The population of the prison was
said tolbe between 1900 and 1900.
Five riot alarms were turned in to
the police and fire departments from
the western prison at 1z:s5 o'clock.
First reports were that the prisoners
had revoited and fired the buildings
which are located on the Ohio river
in the lower part of the old city of
Allegheny.
Call for State Troops.
Nine fire companies immediately re-
sponded to the alarms and police re-
serves were hurried to the prison.
Telephone communication with the in
stitHtion was temporarily cut off. Fire
records show that all the alarms were
sent from fire box inside the peni-
tertiary.
Col. C. A. Rock, a member of the
board of prison managers and pub
Usher of the Pittsburgh Dispatch, was
notified by telephone from the prison
that a riot was in progress and the
building had been set on fire.
Warden Francis announced at 2:15
that he had asked Governor Shrou1 to
send attachments of state troops from
the barracks at Butler, and Green's
burg to help guard the penitentiary
tonight.
Imprisoned in Flames.
A peep thru one of the prison
gates showed a party of Pittsburgh
detectives with drawn revolvers facing
a great crowd of prisoners in the yard
The men appeared to be in great ter
ror from the flames whicl>raged back
of them. So far as eouldbe seen none
of them were armed.
Meantime the flames had crept
along the Ohio river aide and many
prisoners, confined in cells there shat
tered the glass in the windows and
shrieked for help. Two watch towers
on the walls were attacked by the
fire and quickly consumed.
Personssin the street could distinctly
hear the shrieks and groans of the
imprisoned men.

ing most unusual conditions.
Deterioration of crops is reported in
nearly all countries. Even reports
from Germany, which have been good
UP to within week, mention deter
ioration. Many reports suggest a seri-
Gus shortage of foodstuffs, and indi-
cations are that the United States and
Argentina will be called upon to sup
fply the deficit. A shortage of money
may curtail purchases by foreigners,
but they will require certain guam
tity from the United States in any
event.
A seaboard exporter in close touch
with conditions abroad, estimates Eu-
rope is likely to need half million
bushels of corn daily for nearly a year.
Such demand would be of great help
to the United States and relieve It of
its surplus, The big supply that has
been a depressing factor may prove
a henefaetor IN the end. Latest re-
ports from Russia indicate a crop
Shortage there, so Russia is not ex-
pected to be in the export class and
may be an importer.
With reductions in the worlds wheat
crop estimates and with limited sur
plus carried over from last years
crop, and foreign import requirements
estimated fully as lage as last years
or about 600 million bushels, there is
a close adjustment of supplies to re-
quirements. This suggests good prices
for all grains. Wheat has had an adj
vance of tn and 1874 cents from the
low point of the week while corn is
up more than cents and oats s and

for producers to make any money. and
wheat does not give the profit neces-
sary to put producers in condition to

In an attempt to avenge an alleged

after his step-father. The chase led
to the street corner where Jones

Increased pressure forced Atlantic Gulf

General Electric showing marked strength !;
movements among rails and shippings were
irregular and a reactionary tone marked
the trading in American Car and American

VIEWS OF PANAMA CANAL

Only a few Americans ever will see
with their own eyes the great canal
at Panama. Nearly all of us have
seen maps that show. in black and
white outline, the course of the great
waterway.
Fortunately, there is a type of map
which is not the dead, flat outline,
but which comes as nearly as may be
to giving one an idea of how the canal
looks. This is a bird's-eye view of
the whole canal made under the d.
reetion of the National Geographic
society.

FARMER COOPERATION

Editor State journal:
In the July issue of the state pa
per of the Kansas Farmers union, an
article appeared criticising the stand
1 have taken in regard to co-opera-
ton among farm organizations.
1t requires practically no brains to
find fault with the Farm Bureau,
Equity, Grange, or the Farmers
union, but it does require vision, in-
itiative and constructive ability to
take these great farm organizations
and mold them into a compact ag-
gressive fighting force for the
farmers economic interest.
Any man who spends the greater
part of hts time in fighting other
farm organizations does SO either
thru ignorance or from a selfish
standpoint.
1 have suggested in Jewell county
as well as to the state office that am
for any plan of terminal marketing. ii
the terminal selling is handled thru
one central organization. I am willing
to debate this subject in public with
Mr.. McAuliffe or any representative
leader at any time and place that they
may suggest, and let the public decide
on the merits OF the question.
I venture to predict that the time
will never come when the farmers will
receive the full benefit of cooperation
until the leaders of all the farmers or
CARNATIONS take counsel together for
the common good of all.
May God hasten the day when this

big men, men with a clear outlook and
constructive ability who can forge
small, selfish interests in a better un.

where all will work together for the
greatest good to the greatest number
