A woman went to County Attorney F. M. Gold the other day and asked for a warrant against neighbor, who, she said, just to be mean, had opened her chicken house and let all her chickens out.
 Did she steal the chickens ?" Frank asked.
 "No, she didn't steal them. She just opened the door and they all got away"
 But they'll come home, surely" Frank replied.
 Come homep exclaimed the wom- an. Never! They'll go home."
 During a recess in the trial, Judge Jones when asked if it was necessary to charge the jury before every re- cess and adjournment against discuss ing the case with any person, said that it is absolutely necessary. He said that judge cannot be too careful in observing all of the court formal ities, and told, in illustration, of an important case back in Arkansas. The attorney for the defense was one of the smoothest articles of the kind The judge inadvertently had the roll of the jury called one morning before the prisoner had entered the courtroom. The attorney said nothing about it. But he noticed it, all right, and on that one point, on appeal, had the case or dered back for re-trial.
 Davy Joy says it would have been awful embarrasin' for the Siamese twins, one of whom was married, if they hadn't happened to be strangers.
 Bert White used to say he would have been quite all right one night when he got home just before day light if he hadn't woke Mrs. White up to tell her that the clock had just struck one four times. How many can tell without stopping to think just what became of Woodrow Wilson? And how many of you can tell after you have stopped to think !? It is getting so nowadadys that not half the lies that are told are true, remarks Ben Doney.
 Fred Caring says the timber in this section isn't nearly so plentiful as in the strip north of the canyon, where the growth is more dense and some of the trees are so tall that 1t takes two men and boy to see the top of them.

price of Liberty bonds, since it would
cut in half, eventually, the amount out
standing.
1t was pointed out to-day, however,
that several government agencies,
eager for large amounts of money,
wish to get the money in this way.
Among the purposes mentioned was
compensation for the World War SOL
diers.
President Harding believes that this
shift of the European debts from the
United States Treasury to private in
vestors would have q considerable in
fuence not only on the exchange prob
lem, but on American economic rela-
tions.
There is no proposal, it was made
clear, to dump these Allied bonds on
the American investment market at a
time when that market might be glut--
ted. Discretion would be exercised
about this, it was declared, and the
sale of bonds effected at times when
there was obviously sufficient demand
from investors to absorb them.
1t is probable that attractive terms
may be made to investors wishing to
surrender their Liberty bonds in ex-
change for foreign bonds bearing
higher interest rates, since this process
would accomplish everything that the
government desires without affecting
the securities market.
This subject, and especially the fea-
ture of doing something to strengthen
the price of Liberty bonus, has been on
the Presidents mind for long time.
He alluded to the Liberty bond situa-
ton frequentyld uring the campaign.
The idea of substituting bonds which
could be sold to American investors
for the present certificates of debt OF
the Allies which are held in the Treas
ury grew slowly, the first public allu-
sion to it coming in his speech at the
Hotel Commodore in New York just
about a month ago.
1t had been made clear at the White
House a few days prior to that, though
no quotation was authorized, that the
Administration would permit the sale
of foreign bonds in this country, or
the extension of American credits, for
only two purposes. These were:
First, the purchase of American goods
or commodities for export and, second,
the paying off of existing debts.
The President did not yield an inch
on this to the opportunities of the in
ternational bankers, who pointed out
that although money loaned to Europe
might be spent in the Argentine for
wheat, Argentina in turn would buy
American manufactured goods with the
money.
This might be true, it was admitted,
but it did not help the Amerioaa farm
ers who were unable to sell their
stocks Of wheat.

Less than 10 per cent OF the tonnage

Canal will be affected by the proposed
eremption of ships engaged in the
American coastwise trade. as provided
in the Borah bill. favorably reported
to the Senate. Shipping men. how

lation.

hat the next move will be to free

last year these represented about S5
per cent of the total commercial canal
traffic.
Effects of Exemption
As foreign vessels are barred from
anticipation in the coastwise traffic
the exemption proposed by the Borah
bill would be only indirectly q factor
in meeting foreign competition. 1t
would, however, strengthen the Ameri-
can vessels ability to compete with
Canadian railways on the transconti-
rental haul through the Dominion.
American railways may be expected
10 oppose the measure, as it is likely
to enable coastwise shipping to operate
orofita1ly at still lower rates in com
petition with the rail lines.
Taking the application of the ex-
emption on the basis of last years
Panama Canal traffic, however, the
saving to the coastwise tonnage would
be about 1926, 900, and this amount
spread over large volume of tonnage
would not prove a great economic
factor.
Coastwise Trades Share
Of the 2.S14 vessels passing
through the canal during 1920 only 238
we're in the coastwise trade, as com
pared with 1,043 American vessels in
ether trades and 1888 foreign ships.
OF the S10,295,0 900 paid in tolls. $685.
OO0 for other American Ships, and
s5,571 600 for foreign tonnage.
American vessels represented 45.5
per cent of those using the canal last
year; British, 30.8 per cent, and Japa-
nese, per cent.
To limit the exemption to coastwise
vessels" says The Marine Journal, ''is
really to beg the main question of dis
elimination, for the only effective sys-
ten Of preferential treatment that can
be accorded to American shipping is
one that will give to it advantages
over foreign merchant marines en-
gagged in trade with the United States.
OF the American ships that passed
through the canal last year less than
20 per cent were in the coastwise
trade. The Borah bill therefore
gives no relief to more than three
fourths Of the United States ships
using the canal.

Compromise Offer Rumored
In Jersey Trolley Strike

Although both sides are silent, it is
rumored that members of the Trolley
mems Union, which rejected proposed
reduction by the Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey of 20 per cent
in wages, have been asked to accept a
compromise cut of 10 per cent. There
was a three-hour conference between
representatives of the company and
union leaders at which all were pledged
to secrecy.
Afterward William Wepner, state
president of the union, announced that
calls had gone out for meetings of the
union locals in eight cities fer next
Tuesday night.
