Per Cent. Export Levy.

ROME, Feb. 19.-Opposition TO the
plan formulated at the Paris confer
ence for levying an indemnity of IL per
cent on Germany's exports as part of

Parliamentary. Foreign Affairs and FL
nance commissions in continuance of
their discussion of the German repara-
tions project.
Luigi Luzzatti, formerly Minister of
the Treasury. who presided. insisted that
the 10 per cent. share of the German
reparations assigned to Italy was insult

an increase be asked in the amount of
indemnity which Bulgaria and Hungary
must pay to Italy, while others proposed
that she obtain economic concessions in
the former German colonies.

was a Topeka visitor this week. While
he was here on business he took in
some politics on the side. He is presi-
dent of the Gem State bank. He was
asked about the financial conditions in
his section of the state and he believed
he could see a big improvement from
what they were several months ago.
More wheat is being marketed, and
this brings in more money for circula-
ton. He also found this the case of
the Topeka banks he visited. Houston
is one of the busiest men in Thomas
and northwest Kansas. He Is
the owner of several elevators and a
large stock feeder. He is in the front
row of the big wheat raisers of his
county, besides he owns and sells farm
lands He is here and there all the
time looking after his several business
interests. He brings with him good
accounts from all over his part of the
state, and predicts another great crop
year.

have MANY LOST ARTICLES
City Water Department Collects Big
Supply From Customers.

If you have lost something and re-
member that you may have left it at
the office of the city water depart
ment, don't lose hope Of recovering it.
"a book Of car tickets nearly full
is waiting for its owner to come and
claim it, F. c. Stevens. cashier of the
department, said today.
1--WE collect enough articles left here
by customes to conduct a rummage
sale" Stevens said. Just when We
get ready to appropriate the articles
left when time goes by and no one
claims them, in comes the owner and
asks for the property. Once a Gus
toner left nice piece of bologna on
the desk. We kept it for two days,
and rather than let the meat be use
less, one of the girls bought crackers
and we started to slice the bologna
for the relief of our starving office
force. Just as the knife touched the
bologna the woman who had left 1T
came in and asked for it. Being
honest meant going hungry that time"

fore a jury of twelve plain blunt men
in divorce court here today was:
Did Mrs. May Charlotte Gilchrist,
artists model, wife of Lawrence c.
Gilchrist, scenario writer, pose in the
nude for arts sake or for the sake of
the artist?''
Gilchrist claimed she posed for the
sake of the artist, whom he named as
correspondent. Mrs. Gilchrist said she
posed for arts sake, and exhibited
seven photographs in court to prove
her contention.
Attorneys for the model expressed
fears that jurors who didn't appre-
ciate art would get in the box.
For this reason, four grocery clerks.
ten bricklayers and three plumbers
were excused from service.

Farmer VIII Not Strike.

FARMER VIII NOT Strlke.
1.-THE farmer is not going to strike.
Nor is he going to close up and quit,
as a merchant or manufacturer might
do, but he owns the yardstick by
which values will ultimately be meas
ured and by which he can cut down
better than any other producer.
Cutting down is his main battery Of
defense and he will invoke this in
various ways. He will repair his old
machinery and avoid buying new un-
til prices become more reasonable.
He will not invest in improvements
more than is necessary and the house
may go implanted for another year
He will wear his old clothes and tin
ker up the old automobile and he will
not employ any more help than is alb
solutely necessary.
These things, especially the latter,
pacity, but in this he will only be fol-
lowing the rest of the world, and the
economies which he practices, togeth-
err with the enforced reduction of his
crop area, are only the logical devel-
opmepts of a period disturbed by un-
usual conditions and where caution
and conservation are the watchwords
of good business. This is a condition
which has been thrust upon the far
mer and Is not one of his own choos-
ing. Farming is called upon, after
every war. to suffer far beyond its
share in the events of reconstruction
and the farmers are bound to do all
in their power to reduce the hardships
these hardships in the several ways
indicated, they will bring about a bet
tered condition for themselves and the
world"

Kansas Marriages Averaged
Sixty-Two Daily in 1920.
Makes No Account
of Leap Year. -
TOTAL OF 22,507 IN YEAR
Dan Cupid Decreased Business
During the War.
Total Births for Last Year
Was S9,3S4.

Kansas set a new record for num-
Der of marriages in the year just
closed with a total OF 22.5o7, or an
average Of sixty-two daily. according
to a report issued today by DIR. Charles
H. Lerrigo. registrar of. the division
of vital statistics of the state board of
health. Whether or not leap year had
any bearing is not disclosed in the
report.
Marriages Decreased During War.
An analysis of marriages for the
last six years reveals the effect of the
war. In 1916. the last pre-war year,
the total was 1s,162. Dan Cupid in
creased his business materially in 1917,
Just before the soldiers entered camp
or left for overseas duty. The total
that year reached 1895. The full
effect of the war was felt in 1918
when marriages slumped to 1926.
Upon return to civil life, the ex-sol-
diers apparently started to make up
20,444, which is surpassed only by
the 1920 total
10000 Births Last Year.
Total births in 1920 were s9.ss4.
which will be augmented to the 10000
mark when all the belated reports are
in, according to Doctor Lerrigo. This
is second only to the total for 1915
WneH tnere were 4l.lb3 Dlrths. The
yearly total reached the lowest point
in 1919. with 37.146. AS to sex, 1920
births showed 20.219 males and 1s,172
females. This ratio of approximately
100 boy babies to 95 girl babies has
been practically constant for many
years.
Deaths in 1920 numbered 20,l74.
This is slightly above the average, due
to the second flu epidemic. early in
1920. The 1918 epidemic brought to-
tai deaths in that year up to 26,5OS.

CIGARETS IN KANSAS.
All You Need Is Cash or Credit,
JAY E. House Tells H. e. john
stone of Philadelphia Public

y. E. TOMBSTONE.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Jay House reproves us. and with
justice, for the sweeping statement
that cigarets can't be bought in Kan
sas tho you can be arrested for smok-
ing 'em there. Cant be bought,
sezzee, unless you have the price or a
charge account
Our error. We ought to have
known that law against the purchase
of cigarets would make them as popu-
lar. procurable and prevalent as, say.
high balls in Philadelphia.
And, to prove Jay House right, as
always, and us wrong, as ever, along
come nineteen men of Atchison, Kan,
each of whom sends Harding a carton
of cfgarets as a protest against Edoy
Page Gaston's protest against Hard
ing's smoke habits.
Does any one suppose for moment
that nineteen men went Ieaping and
bounding beyond the Kansas state
line to get these cartons? Lucy, who
tries from Topeka to clarity Harding's
| smoke-clouded views, should learn
that clarity begins at home.
