 According to the new chairman, A. D. Las4 ker, the shipping board went through $680,, 100000 for the year ending June 30, 1921. And new the board is asking $300,0O0,OOO as de- ficiency appropriation.
 Lasker says the total expenditures of the board are hard to estimate due to "the deplor- able state of the books which, if kept for the specific purpose of cloaking fraud could not have been better. One thing is certain, there was an absolute deception of congress and the people on the expenditures of the shipping board" As an instance of the way records were kept, Chairman Lasker points out that

stated, ito alleviate this suffering but

Stratford Courier: The golf course
has been moved this year to the Frank
Rose pasture in the south limits of
StratfOrd. The new links are not quite
as large as the one north of Stratford
on the Hawballer farm, but the fact
that they are close in and within easy
walking distance will be pleasing to
many of the local golf enthusiasts. The
new course is freer from weeds and a
little smoother and has been laid out
for nine-hole course. 1t is planned to
build at least one large tee for the
start-off and perhaps more will be
built later on. Mr.. Rose has given
permission, too, for the making OF a
tennis court on the south portion OF
the grounds which will be good news
to the many tennis enthusiasts here.

Having failed to win n place In the

progress in the effort to lay her COM
mercial rivals in the shade.-Sioux

And Germany stands mighty good
chance of succeeding. Work and in
dustry have won more than the sword
and bayonet and the nation that is the
most industrious and frugal, and ex-
ercises the most wisdom in industrial
pursuits. will be the leader in time.
Keep an eye on Germany. If she

that she is heavily handicapped with

As long ago as 1916 Senator Cum
minis offered an amendment to the nav
al appropriations bin authorizing the
president Of the United States to take
action looking to an international
agreement to restrict ornaments after
the great war was over. The amend
ment was adopted, hence the president
has been, free to act in the matter.
President Wilson was not inclined to
do anything. perhaps because Of other
pressing matters, as he was unquestion-
ably in sympathy with such an agree
ment between the leading nations of
the world. 1t remains to be seen just
what course President Harding will
take. In addition to the Cummins
amendment, President Harding has the
authority of the Borah resolution,
which was adopted by unanimous vote
of the senate.
