Washington, D. G., Oct. l7-Sena
tor Pat Harrison Of Mississippi wa,
in particularly happy vein when he
discovered that Wall Streets great
organs, the journal Of Commerce and
the Wall Street Journal had like the
parrot, talked too much. He read to
the Senate the opinions of these pa
pers on the recent Surrender" of
the Old Guard Republicans to the So
called agricultural bloc with his
own comments. Among other things,
he said;
do senators know what the New
York Journal of Commerce said about
that meeting at the White House on
the following morning? Here is what
they said-and they knew; they were
speaking by the card
"SA new era in the relationship of
the United States Government and
the Nations financial and business
leaders is believed to have been in
augurated in the conference to which

VALUABLE RELICS
in SHOW WINDOW

| In passing this Ideal Millinery win
dows you should stop to observe the
wonderful old relics which were plac-
ed there by Mrs. Ed. Hodges and
which are owned by Mrs. Frazier Hold
gcs.
A lovely old dress worn by Mrs.
Frazier Hodges in 1860 is the first
lovely antique which will attract the
eye of any woman. 1t Is a dress of
dark brown taffeta and was worn
years ago by Mrs. Frazier Hodges
aunt, being now nearly eighty years
old. A close observer will find that
It has been unusually well kept in
spite cf the age, for in merely taking
the taffeta into your hands it will be
found that very few holes are Wis
ibe.
Quite a wonderful relic is The old
violin which is owned by Mr.. Sam
Hodges and which is one hundred
years old. 1t was bought by Mr..
Hodges when he was only fifteen years
old from an old man who had owned
it fifty years at the time it was sold.
The old gun, which may also be
seen, is one hundred years old and
was brought to this country by Mr..
Sam Hodges grandfather from Baltic,
England While bringing it to Col
umbus in stage coach it accident
ally went off, thus causing the owner
to be arrested and lodged in Jail.
