After 48 Days Wife
Breaks Hunger Strike
Fails to Save" Her Husband, and
Heeds Advice of Minister.

DANVILLE, Ill:-"Ernie" Har-
rington will not become a Holy Roll
er preacher. He will continue to sell
groceries and smoke when he feels
like it.
His plump wife, Sadie, who began
hunger strike forty-eight days ago and
announced she would partake of no
food until Ernie" came into the fold,
gave up the battle today, and proceed
ed to wrap herself around big meal.
Two days ago she enlarged her con-,
tract by the announcement that she
would fast until the entire world was
saved. This, in addition to her original
task of saving Ernie" rather stag
gered her hackers, inasmuch as she
was not getting along very rapidly
with the conversion of her husband.
After taking aboard hearty meal
today Sadie has this to say: I'm
through with my hunger strike.
hoped Ernie would see the error of
his ways and repent while there was
time, but he seems to be just getting
stubborner and stubborner. I thought
| heard the voice OF the Lord telling
me to take no food until Ernie had
turned to the church, but il may be
that | was wrong.

FARMERS TO GIVE
AID TO THE HUNGRY
THEY PLEDGE CORN TO THE
STARVING PEOPLE OF EU-
ROPE AND CHINA.
FIFTY MILLION BUSHELS
Each Proposes to Deliver His Allot-
nrent Free to Railway Sidings,
Where Relief Organizations Will
Take Charge and Send it Abroad.

i dkC Midi &c oh0 8Sh0 - ~ANAO~~'
CHICAGO, Ill.-The great heart OF
the American farmer is in the right
place and functioning properly. He has
seen the price of his crops cut in halt,
while his expenses have continued
along the wartime peak, but is still
better off than millions in less fortu-
nate lands and is willing to share what
he has with those in need.
Today the 100000 farmers repre-
sented in the American Farm Bureau
Federation challenged the urban pop
ulation of the country to meet them
half way in a plan of immense pro-
portions to get food to the millions
of starving Europeans sand Chinese.
Briefly, the farmers of the United
States will furnish all the corn needed
for the relief work, free of charge, II
the people of the United States who
are not farmers will undertake to de-
liver the grain to the famine stricken
districts.
No Strings to the Offer.
There are no strings whatever to
the offer. The farmers will give So
900 900 bushels or more and give it
gladly. The farmer has no money, but
he will share what he has. The crop
this wear is enormous and the price
is down to figure that takes the
heart out of the producer. The mem
bers of the bureau do not feel diSpos-
ed to unload on the present market
and would prefer to give it away. They
will deliver their allotment OF the corn
required for relief work to the sidings,
where the relief organizations will
take charge of it and send it out Ct
the country. The project has been I'M
der consideration for some time and
committee was appointed today to
make plans for the successful working
out Of the great scheme. The only
stipulation is that the actual corn is
to be delivered, not to be sold and
| the money applied to some other form
of relief work.
Surplus Crop to Give Away.
The proposition was read today by
IT. R. Howard, president of the feder-
1ation. and was greeted with cheers by
the $500 members attending the con
ference. Active work will be begun a
once by the Hoover and kindred re
lief associations to raise funds tc
transport the grain to the starving
countries. 1t is realized that quicl
work is necessary to save the lives o
hundreds of thousands who will per
ish unless relief comes at once.
Offers of donations increased unit
within ten minutes more than 65,0OC
bushels of corn was volunteered for re
lief.
1--WE will furnish any amount the
Hoover committee can use" Mr.. How
ard said after the meeting. IF they
want 100000 bushels we will get it
if they want 25,000,000 bushels wei
get that. I talked with the New Yorl
headquarters this morning and The
matter will be taken up there"

WHEELS OF INDUSTRY
AGAIN TURN IN NATION
FACTORIES THAT WERE SHUT
DOWN FOR WEEKS OPEN
ON PART OR WHOLE TIME.
BUSINESS BEING MENDED
Scores Begin Work to Meet Postwar
Demand Textile Mills Reopen With
Lower Wage Scale Clothing Ma
kers Back at Work Again.

Industrial skies throughout the
country began to brighten with the
advent of the new year. Many plants
which had been closed down for sew
eral weeks and others which had been
running part time have reopened eth
er on full time or part time sched-
ule. Thousands Of men and women
who had been out of work have re-
turned to the shops and factories.
The industries affected by the reJu-
venation OF industrial life include au-
tomobile, clothing, shoe, textile, steel
and other plants. Virtually the entire
country is affected by the reopening
of these industries and, though some
plants rae still running on short time
their managers predict that by spring
the unemployment problems will be
largely solved.
Automobile Men Happy.
The slump in the automobile indus
try early last autumn threw hundreds
of thousands of men out OF work IN
Detroit and other automobile manu-
featuring centers. Most of these plants
have reopened on part time. Ten
thousand men in Detroit alone have
returned to work since Jan. /.
Old employees are being put to work
as far as possible, officials of all plants
stated. Most of the plants are working
on closed models, and no date has
been fixed for resumption OF work on
touring cars and roadsters. Several au-
tonobile plants now idle will reopen
immediately after the early spring
shows, when the manufacturers learn
what models the prospective buyers
favor.
The textile industry in New Eng
land has recently shown new activity
with many plants opening Tor part
time, and in some cases for whole time
operations. Although wages, in most
cases. have been reduced from 70 to
Is per cent, yet this has resulted in
lower quotations for goods as a bid
for business. The Chadwick-Hosk
cotton mills, operating five plants in
North Carolina, and employing 1000
persons, have reopened after an idle
ness OF six weeks.
Between 1000 and 1880 men have
returned to work in Milwaukee, Wis.
where various industries have started
up after long idleness. About 3,Z0l
men have returned to work at the
Dupont Powder plant, in Arlington
n. ]. The plant usually employs
about 400 men. More than 1000 silk
workers returned to work in Paterson
N. J., but with wage reduction OF
from 10 to 20 per cent.

WILSON'S TARIFF VIEW
HAS SENATE UNEASY
DEMOCRATS IN UPPER HOUSE
CUT OFF SINCE OVERRID-
ING HIS RECENT VETO.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Demo-
cratic senators opposed to the emer-
gency tariff bill are at sea over the
probable attitude OF President Wilson
toward the measure.
Since they joined the republican
members in overriding the presidents
veto of the resolution resuscitating the
war finance corporation they have
been cut off from communication with
the white house.
Although they are banking on the
president to veto the pending tariff
bill if it passes the senate, and upon
their ability to prevent the president S
veto being overridden, they admitted
they were in the dark" as to what
the president will do If the measure
reaches him.
A report that he may permit the
bill to become a law automatically,
if only as an expression OF upconcern
regarding the desires OF democratic
senators who deserted him when he
opposed the attempt to revive the war
finance corporation, reached them on
Thursday.
Perplexity Increased.
1t increased their perplexity over
the unusual situation Of the demo-
cratic leaders of the senate being out
OF touch with the wishes OF demo-
cratic president.
Efforts to communicate with the
president through Secretary Tumulty
have awaited democratic senators moth
ing, it is said
Their worries have been influenced
by the detection in their own ranks.
They have discovered that from. eight
to eleven democratic senator's from
agricultural states, as a result of strong
pressure brought to bear by their
farming constituents, stand ready to
vote for the bill when it is reported
by the senate finance committee.
Hence the hlibuster they have
planned against the bill, in the form
of numerous amendments ranging
from the voluminous codihcation bill
to the immigration and soldiers bonus
They intend to delay final
action
They intend to put. off action on
the bill as far as possible and to resort
to every available parliamentary and
dilatory device to prevent its passage.

RETURN TO BEMIDu
John Koors and Louis Neumann
Return After Canoe Upsets
Near Hannibal, Mo.

John KOors and Louis Neumann,
the two Bemidjf boys who started
several weeks ago by canoe for the
Gulf of Mexico returned this morn
ing ION the blinds of a baggage
car from Minneapolis, after having
tipped over near Hannibal, Mo-, in
their canoe.
The accident occurred when the
canoe hit upon 4 concrete wing of a
dam, which was concealed under wa
ter. The canoe tipped over complete
ly and the boys were forced to swim
for their Hives. Neuman was in
grave danger when one of his spir-
al leggings became unwrapped and
caught around both feet, but with
the assistance of koors both reached
shore, badly fatigued. but none the
worse for their experience.
The canoe and paddles were saved,
but their entire camping outfit and
their dairy, which thep priced most
highly, was lost in the venture.
They have given Bemidji and Min
nesota some valuable advertising on
their trip and have been watched
with keen interest all along the route
by cities and villages along the
