Washington, D. C,,-Can Europe and
Asia be taught to eat corn?
This momentOus question has been
raised again by the gift Of a million
bushels of corn which American farm
ers are sending to starving Europeans
and Chinese.
You must know that in practically
no country outside of the two Ameri-
cas- has maize or Indian corn, been
used to any extent as human food. 1t
has been regarded as food for live
stock only. The uu-American world
has simply never learned to eat corn.
But now large sections of that world
are starving. This would seem to be
most unusual opportunity to teach
Europe and Asia To eat corn to the adj
vantage of all parties concerned.
Europe would have u new food, and
America would have a new export
market for its growing corn crop.
Last season this country produced
1929. $4,000 bushels of corn, consider
ably more than the average for the
last five years., 7GO,OOO,000. But the
big crop has not brought prosperity to
the mid-wg>teru farmers. Instead,
corn prizes haye fallen to less than
half what they were last year and
many farmers have harvested their
corn at loss.

The directors decided, and wisely,
too, to locate the factory in Pueblo,

such an enterprise, where supplies
of iron, steel and raw materials are
to be had. Inquiries are coming to
the company from all over the
world regarding their products and
Pueblo is enjoying publicity that
she would never have gotten other

Many of the prominent citizens
fully realize what this industry
means to Pueblo and Colorado, and
others may feel mat it is a very
promising industry, but perhaps
do not realize the ultimate mag
nitude of it. The highest moral
support of every citizen should be
back of this enterprise. Pueblo
has always been one of the best
cities of the west and the Baker
company, with the support of its
citizens, promises to help make it
the best manufacturing city of the

WOMEN WORKERS
GET LESS THAN
A LIVING WAGE
Survey in Kansas Shows
That a Large Per Centage
of Them Are Receiving
So a Day, or Lower.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. S.-More
than half the women employed in
this state are working for less than
a living wage. according to Miss
Lima Bresette, secretary of the
sion.
The women's bureau of the I'm
tied States department Of labor,
cooperating with the Kansas well
fare commission, made a survey
last summer of conditions sur
rounding women in industry which
shows that less than 26 cents an
hour was the rate of pay for 81 per
cent of the and 10 cents store
workers, 76 per cent of telephone
operators, 74.6 per cent of laundry
workers, 65.4 per cent of general
mercantile workers, 64.7 per cent
of these employed in certain food
manufacturing plants, and 45.3 per
cent of the women who worked in
clothing manufacturing.
The yearly incomes were OBJ
tanned wherever possible for the
year from June, 1919, to June,
1920. This period, according to
Miss Bresette, probably covers as
high wage rates as have ever been
paid in this country and at the
same time the cost of living was at
its highest point.
The rate of pay of these women
So day or less-is entirely In
adequate and many women couid
not support themselves at all If
live q hnt11n Mice
Bresette declared.
The cooperative survey of the
federal bureau and the state com
mission covered thirty-one cities
and towns in Kansas. Three Of
these had a population of over
$4,000, eleven had a population of
from 10000 to $4,000, six had a
population of from 5000 to 10000,
and eleven were under 5000. The
investigation was carried on by
personal interviews with employees
in their places Of work. Data on
hours worked and wages were OBJ
tanned wherever possible from the
employers records.
Tabulations were made on a few
general industrial groups including
meat packing and poultry, all other
food factories such as confection-
cry, cracker, cereal. bakery and
salt establishments, clothing manu-
featuring, miscellaneous manufac-
turing, general mercantile, 5 and
10 cent stores, laundries, restau-
rants, telephones and offices.
The investigation did not cover
establishments employing an office
force such as belongs to banks, in
surance companies and law offices,
but covered those working in other
industrial groups such as the office
force of mercantile establishments,
laundries and SO forth.
A complete report of the survey
will be published as a public doc
ument at Washington and will be
distributed through the women's
bureau of the United States depart
ment of labor, Washington, and the
Kansas industrial welfare commits

iR. The Associated Press,

Washington. Jan. S.-The rail-

IMPERIAL PORTRAITS
CONSIGNED TO FLAMES
BY SCHOOL TEACHER

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. S.
Catherine NJ. Cox, who has just re-
turned from a years relief work
for the American Friends Service
committee (Quakers), says that
While she was in Berlin German
school teacher took from the walls
| of the school portraits of the form
er Emperor William, Crown Prince

Hindenburg and burned them in
the stove.
The action was the result of a
suggestion by Harold Evans, of
this city, also a relief worker who,
in delivering an address in the
school, reminded the instructor
that the imperial portraits We're
reminiscent of the old Prussian
order and antagonistic to the demo-
cratic spirit of modern Germany.
A few days later one of the women
councillors informed the relief
workers that the portraits had
been burned.
Miss Cox said that more than
100000 under-nourished German
children were receiving one hot
meal day from the American
Friends committee and the Quak-
ers plan to increase this number TO
100000 a day during the winter.
The Prussian children are most
grateful, she added.

UPPER S|LES|A
WILL CHART ITS
COURSE JAN. Il
People Will Decide Whether
the Region Belongs to
Germany or to Poland;
Troops to Maintain Order.
fBy The Associstes Press,

Berlin, Jan. S.-The long, bitter
and often bloody campaign among
the voters of Upper Silesia is ex-
pected to come to an end January
II with a plebiscite which will de-
eide whether the region belongs to
Germany or to Poland. AS the
time for the plebiscite draws
nearer the keenest interest of Ger
mans generally fastens on the rich
industrial, ceal mining lands, with
the visible fear that the Poles will
win the elections.
Serious disorders before, during
and after the elections are frank
ly considered probable, although
approximately 10000 troops, 200
tanks and 5000 police will be
strategically distributed through
the plebiscite area in an effort to
preserve the peace. Presence of
allied troops and many police,
however, has failed to prevent
fighting during the many months
through which the plebiscite battle
has ragged, and excitement on both
sides has been steadily increasing.
Germany Bids for Votes.
Throughout the autumn and
early winter the German govern
ment has made every effort to win
the sympathies of neutrals and ST.
lesians to the German cause. FREE
quent charges have been made that
German workmen were murdered
by Poles. The Poles have been rid
iculed, their business, social and
political characteristics scathingly
criticised.
1t is charged by the pro-Ger-
man campaigners that the Poles
are without the men who have
ability to manage the great indus
tries of Upper Silesia and that I'M
der their rule these industries
would be bound to decay, the OPP
GRAFTON of the mines deteriorate,
Polish workmen, not so highly
skilled or strongly organized as
the Germans would overrun the
region under a Polish regime and,
1t has been argued, would work
for such low wages that the Ger
man population would be forced
to leave.
Poland Appeals for Support.
On the other hand, the Polish
agitators, and particularly Woj
CZECH Korfanty, former member of
the reichstag, have not only flood
ed the plebiscite area with appeals
to unite with Poland but have
openly threatened the German res
idents with expulsion should the
Poles win at the elections. They
have brought up the old issue OF
Prussian interference with relig-
ious worship. The fact that Poles
We're excluded from holding any
offices under the old regime has
tended to intensity their desire to
carry the elections for Poland.
The Germans point out that with
the loss of the rich Silesian coal
fields it would be doubtful if they
could fulfill their coal delivery
program of the peace treaty. They
assert that under the Polish gov
eminent the coal fields would suf-
fer such decline in production
that they would virtually be lost,
not only to Germany but to the
rest of the world as well.
Into the campaign has entered
every prejudice of race, religion
and politics. In view of the intense
excitement that prevails, Germans
are warned they should not carry
arms.

TOO MUCH MONEY
HOARDED
Hayes Seeks to Draw One Billion
Dollars Into Circulation.

A billion dollars that should be in
circulation to assist the coming in
dustrial revival is being boarded in
American stockings, Will H. Hayes
postmaster general, declared in an
nouncing plans for revision of the
postal savings system to make it more
attractive to potential depositors.
Through his reorganization plans
Mr.. Hayes hopes to draw the boarded
wealth of the country out of its hid
ing places and into useful channels
The present >treatment of depositors
in the postal savings bank, he said
after conferences with middle western
bankers, amounts almost to fraud"
while the government has profteered
at the expense of the depositors to
the sum, in the last year alone, of
81, 720, 900.
/, His general plan for reorganization,
which will be submitted to congress,
has been approved by bankers of the
East and middle West at conferences
held in Washington, New York, Terre
Haute and at his home Mr..
Heys assured the bankers he had no
intention Of entering the postal saw
ings banks in competition with private
savings banks, but rather hopes to
make it valuable feeder of estab-
lished banking institutions. While
asking congress to make the interest
rate double the average paid now, be
pointed out it would still be below
the average paid by the majority of
savings banks.
Private banks cannot hope to reach
the vast boarded wealth that offers a
particular field for postal savings ex-
pansion, Mr.. Hays said. He pointed
out that 10 per cent of the present
$685. depositors are of foreign ex-
traction, and that they, who are ac-
customed to postal savings abroad,
