DAUGHTER Of OIL
KING IS GRANTED
SPEEDY DIVORCE.
Mrs. Mccormick Is Awarded
Decree Within SO Minutes
of Filing Her Charges

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-After a mar
ried life of 26 years, Mrs. Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick, daughter of
John d. Rockefeller, today obtained
q divorce from Harold F. Mccormick
in Chicago. Fifty minutes elapsed
from the time Mrs. Mccormick filed
her bill until the decree was signed
by Judge Mcdonald
Mrs. Mccormick appeared in court
az 1850 o'clock and filed her bill,
which charged her husband w:tn ue-
sorting her on May q, le1S, in Zu-
rich, Switzerland. Shortly afterward,
McCormick's attorneys filed an an
swer admitting the charge and in less
than five minutes the hearing was
started. Mccormick did not appear.
Mrs. Mccormick was asked less
than half a dozen questions by her
attorneys, eliciting the statements
necessary to sustain the bill. She tes-
titled that she was married in 1895,
that Mccormick left ner in Zurich,
in 1918, without reason and that ne
lad since failed to provide for her.
Mrs. Emma Buckley, formerly a
maid for Mrs. Mccormick, testified
she was with Mrs. mccormick sn
Zurich and knew of the desertion and
similar testimony was given by Miss
f. Boley, who told of Mccormick
departure from Zurich. Attorneys for
the defense waived the right to cross
examine the witnesses, Mrs. McCor-
mick and her party Immediately left
the court room. attorneys arranged
the final details, and Judge McDon-
aid signed the decree at 11:40 o'clock
The decree contains no alimony
provisions. but according to McCor-
mick's counsel, an agreement had
been made in advance on a property
division. Counsel for Mrs. McCor-
mick, however, denied this.
Aside from the prominence of the
Mccormick and Rockefeller families,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick became
known throughout the country
through their support of the Chicago
Grand Opera company.
The decree does not mention the
three children. Harold F. Mccormick,
Jr., and Miss Muriel Mccormick, who
are living with their father here,
while Mathilde, the second daughter.
is abroad.

VAL UE Of FARM
CROPS DECLINES
Corn and Hay Are Only Two
Billion Dollar Crops in
America This Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Important
farm crops of the United States this
year were valued at $5,675, S77, 900 to-
day by the department of agriculture
in its final estimates for 1921. That
is almost S3,4OO,000,O00 less than last
years crops were worth, and $4,000
100000 less than the crops of two
years ago, when high prices prevailed
for farm products. The values are
based on prices paid to farmers De-
cember 1, and the crops comprise
about 80 per cent of the value of all
farm crops.
There were only two billion dollar
crops this year-corn and hay-while
last year four crops were valued at
billion dollars or more. Production
was below last year for almost every
crop, although the acreage of the i'm
portant crops was slightly larger, eS-

PAPER MAKERS AND PUBLISHERS
ENLIVEN SENATE HEARINGS WITH
LIVELY DEBATE ON NEWS PRINT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. Senate
tariff hearings were enlivened today
by an attack on American newspaper
publishers by Colonel William E. Has
kell, of New York, vice president of
the International Paper Company, and
a counter attack on the news print
manufacturers by William j. Pape,
publisher of the Waterbury, Conn,
Republican, speaking for small pub
fishers. who. he said. organized buy
ing corporation because many were
unable, single-handed, to assist them
selves in an endeavor to obtain fair
priced news print
Urging a tariff protection for his in
dustry against European competition
Colonel Haskell said congress had
gradually yielded to the clamors of the
paid agents of the publishers until
finally all tariff on news print had
been removed and the industry was
obliged to drift into the ebb and flow
of the international competitive tide"
Asserting news print was the only
product of the paper making industry
which has been deprived of all pro-
lection and be-deviled by inspired fed
eral regulation and interference" the
witness said, that the reason for 1.-THE
invidious treatment this branch of the
industry has suffered is obvious" He
added that the fact that the press
can control legislation and invoke I'M
warranted regulations, restrictions
and interference for it's own selfish in
terests, constitutes a grave charge of
undue influence and special privi-
leges"
The charge that any undue influ-
ence" had been used by the publish
ers in arguing for the placing of news
print paper on the free list was denied
by Emery Thompson, of Chicago,
speaking for the American Newspaper
Publishers Association. He declared
that the publishers had based their
argument on the economic ground of
the inability of the American news
print manufacturers to supply domes-
tic consumption. This inability was
stated by Colonel Haskell.
Pape said that the question before
congress in determining as to the re-
tention of news print paper on the
free list was whether the publishers
should again have imposed on them
such condition as was found by a
senate committee which reported last
year that certain manufacturers had
taken advantage of news print short
age ito exploit the purchasers" and
hold them up for excessive, unrea-
sonable and wholly unfair prices"
Publishers, who, as a class, largely
dominate public opinion, affecting bus
mess policies through direct appeal to
readers. he added, have been violent
ly weak when fighting for fair price
on news print" He added that on no
less than three occasions IN 10 years.
prices had SCARED to undreamed- or
heights" and that nothing. including
the federal trade commission. congress
sional and court action had stayed
the demands imposed by certain of
those who control the supply OF news
print"
Colonel Haskell suggested no def
mite rate for news print. saying he
would leave that to the committee.
He contended that the industry was

ton from Germany. Sweden, Norway
and Finland, asserting paper made in
those countries could be sold here for
from $40 to 500 below the cost of pro-
duction here.
On the other hand. Pape argued that
the prices of the foreign made paper
brought about the level in this coun-
try; that it was the price here that
attracted manufacturers in the foreign
countries and that imports from Eu-
rope had proved the salvation of the
small inland publishers after the war,
when. he said, both contract and SPOT
prices for paper rose to "unbeara5le

We we're talking with a very
progressive north side farmer
one day last week, and the straw,
berry question was raised. The
gentleman, who seems to under
stand strawberry culture pretty
we'll, said he had a nice little
patch of a little less than al
acre, and that he always realized
a good pick from his vines. He
says he has raised strawberries
in other countries, and in this
country the berries are larger
and sweeter and with a better
flavor than in any so'called berry
countries he was ever in. This
is a gentle hint to the Chamber
of Commerce to get busy with
that strawberry association

low for a sack of popcorn.
