telegram from D. A. Skinner, secre-
tary of the national chamber. to A..
C. Seymour, secretary of the local
chamber The executive committee
now is meeting at Asheville, N. C.
Officials of the local chamber have
been working with officers of the
national chamber at the Washington
offices for some time to make satiS-
factory arrangements so that the an
nual conventions of the national
body could be brought back to Wash
ington.
Convention Hall Secured.
The national chamber has always
been desirous of holding all Of it's
conventions in this city, because the
headquarters are here and it Is the
center of governmental activities.
But the difficulty to date has been the
matter of accommodations.
Mr.. Seymour said today that Con-
yention Hall can be secured for the
meetings, and also. as suggested by
the nationals chamber officials, satis-
factory arrangements can be made
with one or two of the large thea
ters here for the holding of day meet
ings.
It is planned to improve somewhat t
the acoustics of convention halt by
the installation, Of amplifiers. In this
connection Mr.. Seymour pointed out
that the national chamber never gave
up Washington as its permanent con-
yention city because Of any expense in
:yolyed, but only on account Of the diff
Guilty of obtaining satisfactory con-
.vention facilities. This now has been
cleared up by the Convention Hall and
theater arrangement.
5000 Rooms Guaranteed.
Hotel arrangements have been COM
pieted to the extent that the local
hotel managers have guaranteed those
in charge of the meeting a total of
5000 rooms, with the stipulation that
more, could be given if needed.
+ Mr. Seymour pointed out that the
decision. of the executive committee to
hold the next meeting here was. an i'm
nortant matter to Washington. It will
bring, to the Capital city the leading
business men of the country, and
about 5000 visitors. who would spend
here Between $359.000 and 100000.

The commission is subdivided
into the following services:

) the ind emnity had to be spread over
a period Of years.
So vital to the execution OF the
treaty did the first president OF the
Preparation commission, Monsieur
Poincare, ex-war president of the
French Republic, regard the ccm-
mission, that when in May, 1920,
sffe premiers' conferences assumed
the perogatiye OF discussion and fix

How It's Made Up.
One delegate, and one assistant

It is specially stipulated that the
Omitted States, Great Britain,

represented at all times except
when maritime matters arc under

WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT.

Spain's decadence is shown by the
fact that the staple food there is
beans, says a writer in the SPANS
La Vanguardia.
Beans are easy to cook. All the cook
has to do is to put 'em in a pot of
water, and let 'em boil.
Mental laziness is revealed in a cook
who boils beans day after day, avoid
ing the exertion required to figure out
a more varied fare. Those who are
content to eat beans day after day re-
veal similar mental sloth. At any
rate, that is the opinion of this OBJ
server In bean-fed Spain.
Some men everywhere order the
same luncheon. day after day. Does
that indicate a tendency to lapse into
O. rut?
Yes. perhaps, IL the UNMARRIED fare is
just habit. No, if it is the result of
experiments which demonstrated that
a certain combination is best suited to
the individuals taste and require
ment.

DR.. Petit reached out sinewy

A GOOD SIGN FROM GERMANY.

The news from Germany that the
government and the financiers are
making heroic efforts to stabilize ex-
change at a modest figure is Of the
greatest Importance. That the first
step is to be the diminishing of paper
issues to the point of stoppage, indi-
Gates that the effort is to be serious
one.
The epidemic of initiation. which has
swept the world during the past few
years reached it's greatest virrlance in
Germany When the war began Ger
many's net circulation was. i'll round
numbers, 1,90O, 100000 marks. AT the
time of the armistice it had increased
to Is billion marks. A year ago ii
was near 90 billion marks. The fig
ures for May /. this year, are 20 bill
lion marks, and going up.
There was no possibility OF Ger
manys return to financial and indus
trial health until this situation was
corrected.
That it is To - corrected and that
the decision has been made in1me
diately following the acceptance by
Germany of the allies PREPARATION de-
mands, is a sign that the Germans
recognize the necessity of putting
their financial house in order if they
are to carry the great burden imposed
upon them by rhe allies./

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
EXPECTING THINGS.

A postoffice in a certain southern
state, so l am told, counts on the reg
ular daily visit of a colored citizen of
the town, who, at the end of his days
work, comes by and asks the postmas-
ter, or more commonly his wife, Good
even, Mis- Burgess, is they any letter
for me?'
mo letter this evening, George"
she answers, and he goes home to
supper.
He never has received letter, and
there is no one known to him from
whom he would be likely to receive a
letter, but he always inquiries.
If knew the name Of the old dar-
key, and the name of the postoffice to
which this story relates, would write
him a good, long letter. Unfortunate
Iy, do not know; and the story may
not be true. And yet I suspect that
1t is true, and that it may be true Of
more than one postoffice.
I t..ink it not unlikely there are sew
eral places in the United States where
lonely people who get no mail live in
hope that some day they will receive
a letter. I hope every one of them
will be discovered by some good friend,
who will write at least one letter to
every such expectant person.
In any event, such a person is just
a little more likely to get letter be-
cause he expects it. And if it arrives
at the postoffice, he will be there to
get it. which is an important part of
the business of receiving letters.
I believe in expecting good things.
There is a proverb which runs, "Bles-
sed are they who never expect any
thing, for they will never be disap-
pointed" I do not agree with it.
There is at least one thing worse
than being disappointed. 1t is getting
into state of mind where one ceases
to hope When hope dies in a man.
there is not much left of him to bury.
Therefore. I believe in expecting
good things The man who expects
nothings does nothing and deserves
nothing. The man who hopes for good
things is very likely to do something
to promote good things.
Keep expecting the good.

FUTURE OF FARM ORGANIZATION

Ey very decisive vote the house of
representatives passed the Vo1stead
bill removing from the farmers organ
izations some of the penalties of the
Clayton antitrust act. It will, when
1t becomes a law, encourage the farm
ers more effectually to form coopera-
tive organizations for marketing and
distribution.
Whether 1t will protect the farmers
from the losses they have suffered
through middlemen and from the
waste of unorganized distribution is a
question. 1t Is intended to permit fed
erations Of farmers to do interstate
and foreign commerce.
The success Of the Danish farmers,
and of the organized creameries of
Siberia, in fighting their battles for
markets against such an opponent as
the American beef trust proves that
the right sort of organization wins.
And we are not without successes
OF the same sort in this country. The
orange and lemon industries OF Cali
fornia and the fruit growers of the
Pacific northwest never could have
taken the commanding place they have
occupied in their respective fields il II
had not been for their organizations.
The federate coopative cheese fac
tories of Wisconsin last year did a
business. of $3.359.00 on a paid-in can
ital Of only 1890. 1t now proposes to
sign up 60 per cent of the factories in
a three-year pool. brand its cheese and
advertise.
We need not fear that such organ
izations can ever become predatory. In
the first place it is impossible to or
ganize all the farmers. In the next,
foreign competition always prevents
extortion in farm products. It is very
possible that by eliminating a lot of
useless middlemen-some middlemen
are very useful--the people of the
cities may benefit in lower and
steadier prices. and a better supply.
And in a country which has stood
the "Pittsburg- plus" practice in the
basic industry OF steel the danger OF
farmers trust ought not to scare any
