Lumber Situation Is
 Showing Improvement

Carrollton, January 31.-(SpeciaL) )- It is believed by many that within the next 50 days financial conditions in this county will be greatly improved, indications pointing to an early ad- vance in lumber prices. During the last week several lumber buyers have been in the county seeking to place orders with mill men, while a local buyer received 25 orders in one mail from his firm Many mills have been closed for several months on account of the low price offered for their pro- duct and those that continued opera tions have been shipping but little, which will have tendency to raise the price, as the sales have been great CT the past two weeks than the pro- duction.

COMMITTEES HAVE ]. TOO MUCH POWER;
 REVOLT THREATENS
Thirty-five Members of Lower House of Congress Virtually
 Control Appropriations of the Entire Nation
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald,
 BOO Davidson BuiIdinE

Washington, January S1.-(SpeciaL) Four hundred members of Congress have delegated to 35 omnipotence in all matters of preparations But the 400 threaten to reverse their action. And thus brave another titantic strug- gle which promises to reach it's cli- max in the early days of the extraor- dinary session.
 Under the present system, which was inaugurated shortly after the re- publicans acquired control of the House in 1918, one committee intro- duces appropriation legislation, all of it. All other committees. which in theypast were powerful, are now impo- tSnt. and practically useless.

committed for as a member of that committee he could exert his influence in securing appropriations for the wa terways of his district. At the present time membership on the rivers and harbors committee is an empty honor. For that committee may consider leg islation and recommend to the appro priations committee, but it. cannot present a bill to the floor of the House
 The same is true regarding all other hitherto important committees. The committee on military affairs cannot prepare a bill appropriating for the army. The committee on naval af- fairs cannot appropriate for the care of the navy. It is an endless story, and 1t affects every member of Con gress. The members of the appropria- tions committee are worth their weight in gold to their districts. The value of other members, however, de- teriorates
 REVOLT IS ON
 The rebellion is quietly under way. The members of the appropriations committee, inadvertently, no doubt have paid little attention to the rec ommendation of other committees. The members of the other commit tees have become very resentful. This Is illustrated in their efforts on the floor tc knock from bills every item which can be destroyed by point of order. And thus the members of the appropriations committee become re- sentful.
 MT. Good says the plan will per petuate itself. Others declare thai centralization is contrary to democ- racy, and that as democracy is close to the people, the people will ultimately rule,

 At the same time, there is another side to the proposition. It is con tended by some of those who regret their nasty action in giving all au- thority to S5 men that important bills in committee would emerge in more perfect shape were they considered by 20 rather than three men. Were it otherwise, they declare the member ship of the House should be reduced to such extent that each state would have no greater numerical representa- ton than it has in the Senate.

 THE MAIN ATTACK
 But the main cause of opposition seems to be the realization on the part of many members that they have shorn themselves of power which they formerly wielded. In the old days, a man representing a district interested in rivers and harbors wanted an as- signment to the rivers and harbors

BORROWED A FIRE ENGINE
turned Apparatus, With Whole
Force H.3nting 1t.

Sayville.-Early one morning a fire
alarm was turned in here and all the
volunteers turned out in record time
and rushed to the firehOuse. They
were aStonished to find the door open,
and the apparatus missing. A search
ing party was formed and secured the
country, while the telephone wires
were kept busy notifying surrounding
towns to be on the watch for the bold
est gang of bandits to appear on the
island.
As morning came on the searching
parties returned without clue, and
started for ti!e firchouse to decide on
a campaign. AS they neared the house,
some one noticed the door was closed.
Inside, the engine stood in its place,
the hose neatly rolled. An unidentified
man had been driving a truck near
West Sayville, when it caught fire. He
ran the two miles to the firehouse,
but no one was about. He found the
door unlocked, appropriated the appa-
ratus, drove to his truck and eXtin-
guished the flames lie then took the
engine home and shut the door, after
which he went his way. The firemen
are satisfied with the explanation, but
would like to know that mans name.

implements, and with their homes in
ashes. Furthermore, he knew what
miracles American money could bring
about if loaned to these sturdy, cOur-
ageous peasants. Also, he had the
cash that American Lutherans had
sent. That was all that was neces-

$250000 to load up the tills, because

it was transformed into stacks and

hours for their turn to pay their re-
spects to the note teller. The com
mittees had economical upon floor

corner of the blacksmiths shop, or a
back room in n seed store.
First Bought Food.
With their borrowed funds the farm
ers first bought q square meal for their
families and hauled timber from near
by forests to build new homes. Farm
tools and - stock were so scarce
that many long shopping trips had to
be made. One eager customer trudged
70 miles for spade to dig up his gar
den. Many man walked 20 to 80
miles and returned leading his new
horse loaded with seed bags, and drag
ging plowshare. Two bumper crops
have been produced by the clients of
this chain of banks and much of the
money has already been repaid, with
per cent interest. Not only did they
save their own provinces from famine
but they sent great shipments of food
products into neighboring stricken sec
tons.

New York.-Chains of things are no
longer a novelty in this country. We

stores, tea stores, sausages, drug
stores, self-service groceries, and beau
ty parlors, all done in chains. In Po-

but hundreds Of little farm loan banks

Lublin and Choim areas.
TO be sure, the system was installed
by an American and it was American
money that filed the empty, dusty
vaults. That is, where there were any
vaults. DR.. John A. Morehead, Euro

Luther Council of America, is the
amateur banker who set up this no

Works Out Simple Method.
Perhaps it was the commissioners
very greenncss at banking technical
tiles that did the trick. He worked
out the simplest. easiest, quickest
methods, because he did not know any
better. What he did know was that
thousands of fertile farm lands in the
devastated sections of Poland we're
lying barren and desolate, and that
the farmers, most of them returned
exilcs, were hclp}sHs r'hhcA Nf re.

Night firing with guns as large as
