Philadelphia to
Have Worlds Fair

A Worlds Fair staged on a basis
BETTING the progress of this CO ,ntry
s,nce the signing of the Declaration
of Independence in 1776 is the plan of
a Phlls lphia committee appointed
this spring to consider sequi-cen-
tennial celebration for that city. john
Wanamakcr, the honorary chairman
of the committee, has had much to do
with developing the idea of an ex-
position, national and international in
scope which will surpass any world
exposition ever held. AS a result of
Mr.. Wanamaker's activity a bill is
now in Congress providing for gov
eminent participation, which will
probably pass at this session. The
international aspects Of the exposition
are expected to promote good will and
inspiration to business interests
throughout the United States and the
world
In a recent visit to President Hard
ing, made for the purpose of talking
over with him the national advantages
of the plan, Mr.. Wanamaker empha-
sized the Importance of well-organ-
lied world exposition in promoting
and cementing international friend
ships. The President expressed in
terest and approval of the ideas sug-
gested and encouraged the develop
ment of further plans for enlisting
the interest of this country and other
countries. A meeting of the COM
mittee is being held in Philadelphia
this week to consider sites for the ex-
position.
Delawareans are very fortunately
situated to enjoy a world exposition
at Philadelphia anc will watch the
exposition plans with interest. Will
mington is near enough to Philadel-
phia to benefit in many ways from the
exposition.

Icebergs In Atlantic
Force Changed Routes

Floating icebergs have been notlceo
in the Atlantic ocean, at least Sixty
miles south of some OF the regular
lines of ocean travel between new
York and European ports. The IN
formation comes from one OF the
offices of the United States Navy
which is charged with studying and
reporting such conditions. The num-
her of these icebergs is greater TINS
wear than any number shown by the
navy records for years, and they are
further south than at any time since
1912, the year of the Titanic disas-
ter. 1t is supposed that the mild
winter in the Arctic regions followed
bv a warm season has resulted IN a
more general breaking up OF the ice
than usual. Lines Of ocean travei
across the Atlantic have been some
what dislocated, but the danger since
all vessels are warned, is probably
slight.

Business Conditions
Looking Up

Reports from New England, as well
as some local and southern reports
indicate an increase in industrial ac-
tivity that seems to be bona fide.
Crops in the North Atlantic States
are particularly good this season. The
textile mills which manufacture cot
ton goods such as ginghams and
bleached muslins, are now operating
at full capacity and most of the
wooden mills are approaching a capa-
city output daily. There is an in
crease in the activity of the manufac-
turers, and in leather goods generally
in the vicinity of Boston. In South
Carolina the textile mills have paid
good dividends and are receiving
enough orders to keep their plants
busy for some months. In Delaware
building prices are said to have fall
len sufficiently to warrant large in
crease in building.

Secret of Becoming an Expert

AS we become permanent drunk
ards by so many separate drinks. 50
we become saints in the moral sphere,
and authorities ala experts in the
practical and scientific spheres by so
many separate acts and hours of
work. Let no youth have any anxi-
ETY. about the upshot of his educa-
ton, whatever the line of it may be.
If he keeps faithfully busy each hour
of the working day, he may safely
leave the final result to itself. He
can with perfect certainty count on
waking up some fine mI.ning to find
himself one of the competent ones Of
his generation in whatever pursuit
he may have singled out. Silently, be-
tween all the details Of his business,
the powers of judging in all that class
of matter will have built itself IN
within him as a possession that will
never pass away. Young people
should know this truth in advance,
The ignorance of it has probably en-
gendered more Encouragement and
faintheartedness in youths embarking
on arduous careers than all other
causes put together.

supporting an active foreign policy
of the administration.
General discussion on the tariff bill
closed on July 18th. The considera-
ton of amendments is scheduled to
close today and the vote in the House
to be taken tomorrow. The bill then
goes to the Senate for still further
amendment. 1t is entirely possible
that whole new bill may be drawn
in the Senate and final adoption of a
tariff measure delayed until October
or later, especially as the Senate
Finance Committee has been working
on tax revision and there is sentiment
for considering that subject first.

EDITORIAL CHAIR.
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Talks of Newspaper Ideals
Service

g., A backed editorial chair" was
presented to President Harding by SIX
hundred newspaper men, last week.
Made of the wood from the famous
old schooner Revenge, captured from
the British on Lake Champlain dur
ing the Revolution, the chair now
rests in the Presidents study.
After the presentation by Senator
Capper, from Kansas, another news
paper man, the President replied IN
simple words his appreciation. In his
reply is found what appears to be the
heart of the man. The reserve and
caution in official circles are not
found. He is talking, in confident
freedom, to boys Of the craft. he
said:
at goes without saying that l am
delighted to have this token of the
esteem of men of the Fourth Estate.
1t touches me rather deeply because
have very great pride in the part
have had in the newspaper profess
sion.
eff could have my life to live over
with all the experiences that have
come to me, l would not change my
profession, nor would l alter the pol
icy with which have somewhat char
acterized the newspaper of which l
have been publisher.
"How very fitting it is that the tim
bers of the old Revenge should have
been made into a token Of friendship
and good will In thirty-seven years
of newspaper connection l have never
once allowed my paper to make mani
fest suggestion of revenge, and If
there is one thing that has contribut-
ed more than any other to my moder-
ate success as a publisher it Is that
the paper was on higher plane than
the level of getting even.
"Old-time conflicts, old-time aft
liations, much that impelled govern
ments and more that impelled wars,
was founded on revenge, while today
all of us are thinking out the things
we can do to bring peoples together
to create a better feeling in the
world.

idency. But somehow ! have believ-

ament and practice maybe | fitted into

sire to help form the greatest need

am an occupant of this chair | can add
to the good feeling of our Republic
and then make our Republic the ex-
emplar of good feeling throughout
the world, my services will not have
been in vain

REV. ROBERT A. BRUCE

Funeral services for the late Rev.
Robert A. Bruce, who died last Thurs
day in Rapid City, were held in the
Methodist Episcopal church in this
city, of which he was at one time pas
tor, by the Rev. r. c. Keagy, and
interment was made in Greenwood
cemetery.
Robert A. Bruce was born in On
tario, Canada, June 6, 1881. He was
educated in the schools of his native
land, after which he took a course in
the Victoria university at Toronto,
graduating with honors in 1900. AL
ways of a restless disposition, a veri-
table dynamo of power, he at once
plunged into active work as a Metho-
dist minister in Alberta, Canada, the
farthermost outpost Of the mission.
After spending two years in the frozen
north, suffering untold exposures and
hardships, his robust health broke
down and he was ordered to a milder
climate. He was transferred to Brown
ing, Mo-, where he met Miss Mayme
Robbins, whom he married in 1892. To
this happy union were born five chill
dren, Lillian, Helen, Robert and Belva,
who are left to mourn. and M infant
daughter who lies buried in the Brook
ings cemetery.
After serving several charges in Mis-
souri, and Iowa he came to South Da-
kota and served four years as pastor
of the Methodist church in Brookings.
At the time Of his death he was pastor
OF the Methodits church at Rapid City.
During his career as a minister he
built nine churches and five parson-
ages, besides remodeling a number Of
churches in his various charges. He
recently completed a new church at
Rapid City which was to be dedicated
on Easter Sunday next year. 1t was
while working on this church that he
ran a splinter into his right hand,
which developed into blood poisoning
and caused his death on December 8,
after a short illness.
The many friends Of the family in
this city offer their deepest sympathy
in the loss of their beloved husband
and father. s.

II Early O
THE FUTURE

Outside Of the munition manufacture
ers, the American farmer is probably
the most discouraged and d~ownhearted
of all business men. II it wasn't for
the fact that farmers are the most
courageous of all business men and
have the greatest faith in the future
and the kindness of Providence, a great
many of them would give up the ghost.
Even in the most prosperous years,
the farmer never knows when he sows
his grain, whether or not he will come
out ahead or behind in the fall. He
takes chances on the weather, on crop
diseases, on market conditions, every
thing Is uncertain. 1t Is his courage
and faith that makes him successful.
This year he had bountiful crops but
they brought no returns. Now he Is
faced with the question Of what the
future holds for him. This same ques-
ton Is now the most important one
in the mind of the entire nation. Just
as public opinion brought about a limi-
tation Of ornaments and a guarantee
Of world peace, the tremendous wave
of sentiment for the farmer, that is
growing larger, and larger every day
will bring about some momentous
changes in the condition Of agricul
tural business. Some method of sta
bilizing agriculture so that the farmer
can realize a profit from his crops al
least sufficient to give him a living
wage, Is expected to be the result.
The great hazards OF agriculture
at present must be removed. The
present problem of finding a market
for the bumper corn crop raised In
Bookings county this year can be
taken care of by temporary relief
measures. The investigation of the
grain markets may disclose the ma.
nipulation of the markets which has
forced grain prices down to a level
all out of proportion to the drop in
other lines. When the Farm Bureau
digs out that hidden manipulation and
exposes his little scheme for making
millions at the expense Of the farm
ers, buyers will find he has been sell
ing short and grain prices will soar
up to their proper level. There is
quite a general opinion over the coun-
try that grain prices are unreason-
ably low and that there will be a
sharp revival soon. All these condi-
lions are working toward a brighter
outlook for the farmer in 1922.

New Complaints Against Sunday Morn

of Prosecution.

Kenoshans are tired of having their
Sunday morning rest disturbed by
newsboys crying their Sunday "extras."
Accordingly they have started bonn
bardment of police headquarters with
complaints against the so-called "Sun-
day morning nuisance" They are
pointing out the fact that in other
cities such vocal callisthenics are
strictly taboo and that it is a mark
of provincialism that they should be
allowed to continue in Kenosha. Police
officials have turned a listening, even
sympathetic ear, towards the complain
ants and are promising action if the
juvenile disturbers of the peace con
tinue their Sunday morning exercises.

tary Meissner said this morning. "Our

they don't observe the warning"
It was made clear by police officials
that there was no objection to the de-
livery of Sunday papers in residence
districts or to their quiet sale on street
corners. The drive is on the "hawk-
ers" who open shop in some districts as
early as six o'clock and keep up their
"infernal babel" until almost noon.

SELL-OUTS AT BAT
SHOW OLD PEPPER
Ball-Players on Trial Keep Prosecution
Scurrying to Keep Case from
Being Quashed.

(By Associated Press Leased Wlre.)
Chicago After two weeks warm
ing up" during which nearly six hun
dred men were examined to select a
jury, defense and prosecution INDUCED
in the first Inning" of the trial of
seven former white sox players and
four alleged gamblers charged with a
conspiracy to permit Cincinnati to win
the 1919 worlds series from Chicago.
The defense went to "bat" with a
half dozen motions designed to keep
states attorneys scurrying to all corn
ers of the legal diamond" to prevent
the defense from sewing up the game,
before it is fairly started.
There were indications that the
twelve umpires in the jury box may be
asked to decide merely whether such
a conspiracy as the state charges
was against Illinois laws rather than
if such a conspiracy actually existed.
The defense planned today to ask
that Bill Burns, alleged accomplice of
the defendants and Joe Gedson, former
st. Louis player, be compelled to talk.
Yesterday the defense made an unsat-
isfactory effort to question these men
who are said to be star state witnesses
relied upon to "strike out" the con
tentions of the defense,
