New York Bankers
See Failure Ahead

New York, Feb. 1.-Men OF high
stan>sing in American finance gave
,tterance today 20 varying opinions
rela tive to the agreement of the su-
preme Council in respect to German
repalations. but in most cases they
asserted that the terms Offered were
impractical and would defeat thc::
purpose.
With regard to the action of the
Supreme Council which would make il
impossible for Germany to seek 20
place credits in the United States
without first obtaining consent of the
proper Allied authorities, the COM
mon banking view was that this would
be only formality and nothing would
be done to stop German external fin
ancing where it would aid Germany
directly CT indirectly in paying its
separations dues.
Ihe proposal to levy an export tax
on German goods shipped into the
world markets was generally condemn
ed as adding unnecessarily to Ger.
many's bardens.

PLAN MORE DRASTIC
VO[STEAD LAW
Leaders Seek Fiat Jail Sen
tence For First Of
fense
SEEK TO SEARCH HOME
Would Make Purchaser of Liquor
Equally Guilty With Seller-Fight
Starts in April

Washington, Feb. 1.-Prohibition
leaders in Congress are hoping to
tighten Up the Volstead law,
They are Planning new legislation
to provide flat Jail sentence for the
first offense of selling liquor, without
giving the courts the optional right OF
imposing fine.
Other changes being discussed
among the prohibition leaders relate
to the search and seizure clause, 50
as to reach the home brew and to
make more sweeping the present law
under which a person buying fiquor
may be punished equally with the per
son selling it.
Confiscation of every drop Of l.
quor held by, citizens, regardless as
to when or how it. was acquired, is
also being urged. This would legalize
seizure Of all stocks held in a private
cel.ar-or a safety deposit vault. OBJ
lection to that, however, has been
made by some dry leaders on the
ground that little such liquor finds
it's way into channels Of bootleg trade
and that it won't be long before all
such liquor will be used up.
Unless pending bill, which would
permit Federal commissioners to try
minor liquor cases, is. passed pro-
posed amendment to the Volstcad Law
would take care of this. Federal court
dockets are now badly congested with
Vilstead violations and Government
officials have reported /; a change of
procedure necessary.
The big fight for amendment will
start with the opening Of the new ses-
sion IN April, according to dry lead
ers. They say they have enough votes
in the House now to put through any
added restrictions they might desire,
but ,thatSthere is not enough time left:
Meanwhile Chairman Vofstead, of
the House Judiciary Committee, on
whose shoulders will fall the bulk of
revising and tightening up, is await
inr word from prohibition enforce
ment officers as to suggestions for
making the law bullet-proof. He wants
the advice of the men charged with

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

An unusual feature was noted in the
Richmond grain market on Wednes-
day, inasmuch as oats advanced two
cents to 80, while corn declined three
cents to so cents per bushel. This Is
against the regular order as these
two grains usually work in sympathy.
Richmond -four mills are paying S1.15
for wheat
Farmers are more intent on market
ing their corn in the form of well-fed
hogs rather than through the regular
channels. Elevators are taking in very
little of it as yet but what they may
be able to buy when the new crop is
ready to move cannot now be pre-
dicted Feeders have been paying a
premium for corn for some time, COM
pared with the prices shippers have
been able to pay and get out whole.
This is a natural condition, it being
better and handler to pay little more
for corn available near the farm, than
to pay an elevator profit on corn
shipped in at high freight rate,

ACCUSED LAD OFFERS
DEFENSE THURSDAY
(By Associated Pressl

BOONVILLE, Ind, Sept. 22-Inter-
est in the trial of William Deffendoll,
IT, accused of NUMBERING his mother
near here last July, centered on the
defense his attorney would offer. The
lads trial opened today. The head
less body of the mother, Mrs. Laura
Deffendoll, 70, was found 10 days after
the shooting in a woods near the
family's home.
Following the finding of the body,
William and Dolly Deffendoll, her
sons, were arrested. William accused
Dolly of the murder, but later exon
Grated him. 1t was said Dolly had
been the sole support of his mother
for eight years.
A confession is alleged to have been
made by the youth, who held the
shooting accidental. He is said to
have declared he and his mother were
squirrel hunting when his gun went
off and his mother fell wounded. To
end her suffering, he is said to have
told the authorities, he fired into her
neck twice. Then he left the body
and returned home, according to the
alleged confession.
Authorities claim William had been
quarreling with his mother the day
before the shooting.

! HERE TO ADDRESS
FARMERS MONDAY

The Wayne township farmers are
planning for a big meeting at the

26, at 7:30.
r. B. Morrow, president of the town
ship farm bureau, announces that
Perry Crane, state secretary of the
bureau, will visit Richmond for the
first time and will address the farmers
and the dairyymen on that occasion.
AS an experienced dairyman Mr..
Crane will doubtless have something
of interest to tell our milk farmers
and it is expected that these will be
present in force from the various
townships.
The meeting will be held in the
courtroom on the top floor, SO as to
accommodate the greatest possible
number. Richmond farm bureau meet
ings are always open to all farmers,
and not merely to the membership
in Wayne township. President Nor
row invites the public to come and
meet the new state secretary.

THE FORUM

Pastor Russell, driven from his
home, found solace in the doctrine of
Millenial misunderstanding thous-
ands. The wages of sin is spiritual
death-Some people would alter Gods
laws to suit their own cases"
Driven from his home? There is
no truth in this. like many stories
afloat about Pastor Russell and it is
no less surprising to hear such petty
stories from the pulpit.
One who is follower of Christ and
teaches, breaches and practices broth
erly love, has not the time nor the in
clination TO critisize or to judge an
other. Leave that to the world. The
wages of sin is death-To speak evil
of your brother is a sin. The Bible
says: Speak evil of no man, Titus 80
There is a wide difference in "isms"
especially in Millenial Dawnism and
Creedism. Pastor Russell's Bible teach
ings of the Millenial Dawn is the Cos
pei truth. and is free as all Bible
teachings should be. Some people
would alter Gods laws to suit their
own cases. Creedism is the altering
of Gods laws to suit the individual,
church or denomination.
Pastor Russell found not solace, but
joy in revealing the truth, The Mil
lenial Dawn to thousands of truth low.

OPEN SHOP CONTEST
CONFRONTS PRINTERS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Possibility
of an open shop fight in the printing
industry here faced the executive coun-
ell OF the International Typographical
Union and officers of Big Six local
union today, when they met to consider
demands of employing printers for
arbitration of new wage scale effec-
tive Oct. 1.
The National Publishers Association
comprising publishers of many maya
zines Of national circulation, made
public resolution yesterday calling
on the printers to arbitrate and assert
ing that the association would earnest
ly request" the New York employing
printers association to put the open
shop into effect unless arbitration was
agreed upon.
The publishers have demanded a
twenty per cent wage cut, which the
union countered with a demand for an
increase from $50 to $50 a week.
