The following is a specimen Of
printers technical terms as common
ly used in most printing offices. This
was handed into the News by Co.
Folks Huxford, he having clipped il
out Of an old issue of the Valdosta
Times published about thirty-ive years
ago.. 1t shows that printers terms
used back then are similar to those
of today. The clipping follows:
William, put Gen. Washington on

ately crowned with the Democratic
nomination for president.
1t was in the first year of the tele-
graph, and when the name of Clay
was licked off as the nominee of the
Wing convention at Baltimore those
wiseacreS of Washington who still re-
garded Morse as an impostor said that
the trick was easy, since anyone could
have guessed who the Wing nominee
would be. Three weeks afterward,
when the inventor at the capital
spelled out the name of Polk as the
Democratic nominee the doubling
Thomases were convinced that ne was
a fraud. They scoffed at such an abb
surdity and were not persuaded of the
truth until the arrival of a train from
Baltimore.
The obscurity of "Jim" Polk, which
that SNUG, unsmiling. uninspired little
man of respectable abilities had pre-
served on the eminence of the speak
er's chair, was d%eepened by the shin
ing fame of Van Buren,, whom he had
displaced at the convention, and of
Clay, against whom he was matched
before the people. Those two states
men had taken it for granted that
they were to be the champions of their
respective parties. History suspects
that they %concocted in a friendly visit
two letters which appeared suspicious
~ close together and which were sus-
p~iciously alike in discouragfng the an
nexation Of Texas at risk Of war with
Mexico.
Van Buren, stood by his guns against
annexation, going down in the Demo
cratic convention under the displeas-
ure Of the southern Shareholders and
the alarm of northern doughfaces. Clay
faltered in the campaign. clubbing,
qualifying and taking a back track,
he went down at the election under
the indignation Of the abolitionists,
who polled enough votes for their
third ticket to cause his defeat.
Polk lost Tennessee at the polls, and
is the only man. with the sole excep-
tion of Wilson in 1916, who has been
elected without his w state. For
ceveral days the national election was
n doubt, with the result hanging on
a complete count in New York. At
last it was found that Polk had car
lied tn : ate by 5.OOO-tha' ks % the

Corn As Fuel

"They burned corn once upon a
time"
eyes, but that was thirty or forty
years ago, when corn was selling for
ten or fifteen cents a bushel-and
wasn't selling, either. The pioneers
of the Middle West killed buffalos,
too, and lighted their log cabins with
a tallow dip, threshed wheat with a
fail, and drove to the PARKWAY village
in groaning OK carts. When we get
back to all these early ways, we shall
be burning corn again for fuel-but
not before.
Let's get down to brass tacks-or
shelled corn-and see where we are at.
Within the past two weeks, in the
Middle West, | have seen and heard
and learned enough to know two
things, for sure. First, corn is not
going to be burned for fuel this Win
ter. Second, the farmers are not 60
ing to strike-not as we generally use
the word, at any rate.
Scientists assert that a pound of or
binary soft coal contains 5000 British
thermal units, while a pound of corn
contains only $3.50 units. Such in
formation is not very Informative. In
the first place, we're American, not
British. in the second place, the
great majority of US have no idea
what a thermal unit looks like. 1t is
much simpler to say that a pound of
corn contains a little less than one
half as much fuel value as a pound of
soft coal. Corn would have to sell at
twenty-cents a bushel, in order to be
as cheap for fuel as soft coal is at SIC
a ton. There is absolutely no likeli-
hood that corn will go low enough
this winter.

Onions to Be Staple
"Fruif of Country

Now see what evil prohibition has
brought upon us! The latest craze
is for that most powerful Of vege-
tables, the onion! Such is the as
sertion of Carl Peowsty, the Onion
King" of Chicago.
Since prohibition became effective
the demand for onions has almost
doubled. Last year Mr.. Peowaty
handled more than $4,000 carloads of
onions, and he expects his 1921 busi-
ness to be greater. He doesn't know
whether to attribute the increase TO
a general desire for something lively
or TO the need of a'market for cloves,
but the demand for onions is grow
ing.
"Onions have a food value which
is not generally appreciated" said
Mr.. Peowaty. "Onions contain
more calories than some meats and
make an invigorating soup for con-
valescents. They will some day be
one of the staple fruits OF the
country"

Premier Will Challenge
Enemies to Show Better
Scheme, Is Belief.

LONDON. March ls.-The econ
omic penalties aimed at Germany
stand a good chance OF falling to
the ground this week.
When the rsparstions bin is de-
bated in the house of commons to-
morrow it will be. attacked as a
doubtful source of revenue for the
allies and as harmful to British
trade.
Antagonism to the proposed levy
OF SO per cent? upon the sale price

countries is growing considerably
because IL is realized that il is like
ly to involve England and France
in dispute with America and the

Japan. Italy and Belgium Oppose
the plan on the. ground that IL
would hinder their trade with Ger
many.
At the same time the erection of
the Rhine customs barrier is de-
nounced as impracticable.
Premier Lloyd George will ad-
here TO the penalties program and
Will challenge opponents of the
plan TO show a better alternative
for his methods of extracting
money from the Germans.
1t is understood that Horatio
Bottomley will move the rejection
of the bill which advocates an i'm
mediate march to Berlin and the
dictation of terms there.
While the premier's well drilled
majority will certainly approve of
the penalties as being enforced. 1,
is predicted that the difficulties in
their application will render them
imperative.

WAGE CUT TOGO
IN EFFECT TODAY
Chicago Stockyards Has
Strike Demonstration
In Drizzling Rain.
BY c. A. SLOAN.

CHICAGO. March 13.-opposing
sides in the stockyards wage con-
troversy summarized their positions
today as follows:
The packers-A readjustWent Of
wages and working conditions Is
made necessary by general eco
nomic conditions. Cut in pay will
go into effect tomorrow morning.
The. workers-Th proposed read
1ustment means a ten-hour day,
which Is rejected. On that there can
be no compromise. The pay cut
and otter working conditions must
be submitted to arbitrate IL the
packers reject these terms-then a
strike.
Demonstration I'm Rain.
twenty-five thousand workers in
Chicago stockyards and packing
plants today stood for two hours on
an open prarie spot In a drizzling
rain to listen to their executives. 1t
was a strike demonstration.
At every mention of a walkout the
crowds cheered and howled ap-
proval. A. every mention Of their
employers -boos" and catcalls could
be heard for blocks.
OF those present fully 90 per cent
were women workers. Ten per cent
were negroes. The remainder came
from the great conglomeration OF
nationalities which form the COM
munity known as Back of the
Yards" They were unanimous in
sentiment. standing ready to work
or strike at the behest of their lead
ers.
Negroes Oppose Strike.
Contrast with this great crowd Of
people was another meeting. on the
South Side. There the american
Unity Welfare Labor Union" held
forth on its announced antistrike
doctrine. The workers listened to
the hznrangues of r. F. Parker,
negro editor. A stencil bomb ex-
ploded in the midst of the meeting.
Some white reporters were unable
TO stand the stencil and fed. but
the colored attendants stuck right
on the job.
Statements were issued last night
by the spokesmen for the negroes
that they would accept the proposed
wage cuts and continue at work.
If they do and the white unions go
out, Chicago may see race riots, al
though the police ar etaking extra
ordinary precautions to prevent
such an outbreak.
The strike referendum vote will
be announced Friday night, Secre-
tary-Treasurer Lane said today.
Meanwhile the packers side of the
question was also presented. In a
