PRACTICAL JOKERS PULL
BOOB" STUNT AT SCOBEY

Scobey.-Practical jokers who drew
a check, signed a well known business
mans name to it and gave it to Bill
Flynn for the supposed purchase of a
car got a shock when Bill Sauntered
over to the Battelson store. Bill
cashed the paper, which called for SITS,
and made some purchases with the
proceeds. The following day Chief of
Police Lawrence was requested to take
a hand in Strengthening out the af-
fair. The amount of the check was
made good and no legal steps were
taken, but the jokers were rendered
a lot of sound advice by the auth
critics.

CONGRESS BUSY WITH
RELIEF FOR FARMERS

Observation-Disclosures to reliev,
the financial plight of farmers an,
curb profiteering, particularly in woo
and clothing, were discussed will
President Harding by Senator Watson
Republican,, Indiana, Saturday.
Senator Watson's view is that an,
program must go further than the
question of freight rates, interest rates
and tariff rates. While these may
have a part in the farmers dilemma
the senator declared that the man who
produces food and clothing can get
very little for it, while the man who
needs it has to pay unconscionably
high prices.
Mr.. Watson told the president that
he favored the program for agricul-
tural credits, but that he feared it
would not strike at the root of the
question.
II producers were compelled to ac-
cept ruinous prices when they finally
did come to sell cattle and crops, he
argued, loans would only be a palliative
and he urged that while the financial
distress of the farmers was being tenn
porarily relieved by liberal credits, an
exhaustive study be undertaken to find
some practicable means of bringing
producers and consumers together and
eliminating large profits in between.
enato Watson also told President
Harding that he already had under
taken a study of the anti-profiteering
laws OF other countries and particu-
larry was examining those which an
peared to be meeting with some sue
cess.
He was inclined rather to a plan
which would expose profits all along
the line and depend upon an aroused
pubic opinion to grant reasonable pro-
TITS 70 business and at the same time
drive out eXtortions.
Marking in plain figures the whole
sale prices of articles of food and
clothing, transported in interstate
commerce., so that the buyer at re-
tail may see what profits he is being
asked to pay to a retailer, is one of
the plans which Senator Watson is
examining. There are several others.
President Harding listened to SEN
tor Watson with deep interest as the
after pictured crops abandoned; fruit
crops compelled to rot, and grain crops
unnloved while farmers faced mort
gage foreclosures. Some definite plans
are to be discussed with the president
later and meanwhile, Senator Watson
SAID, the program of agricultural cred

relief would be fastened in congress-.

ter, Clara, with whom Schumann fell
deeply in love. Clara returned his
affection but the father, proud of his
position as leading piano teacher of
Germany, and proud of his daughters
exceptional ability, turned Schumann
away from his house. The couple
waited until Clara was of age and
were married, living very happily to-
gether. Clara Schumann became one
of the leading pianists of the world
and did much to make Schumann's
compositions known, since Schumann,
at an early age, unfortunately lost
the use of n of his fingers and was
not able to play.
Schumann was of a quiet, retiring
nature and during the latter part of
his life became incurably insane and
died two years later in a private hos
pital.
"Traumeri" (Dreaming) is enc of
group of smaller pieces called Child
hood Scenes" and is the most beauti-
full of the set. The number is said
by some to portray a dream of sum
mer with its deep blue sky, flecked
with clouds, the fragrance of the wild
rose coming on the balmy breeze, but
it is more generally accepted as a
lullaby. Only n melody is heard
throughout the piece and the contrasts
are obtained by key changes.
Schumann is probably best known
through his art songs. Of these, the
"Two Grenadiers" is a notable cx-
ample. This is a splendid patriotic
number and none of his songs are
more widely appreciated. The words
are by the German poet, Heine. and,
c~uriously enough, the patriotism of
France is hte dominant feature. The
song begins with the narrative of the
returning gr%enadiers, and the melody
has a strong martial character. As
they walk they become ~saddened at
the thought that their emperor has
been dethroned, and the music be-
comes depressed in accord with their
emotions. They discuss their fam
lilies and finally, placing emperor and
love OF country above all family ties,
they pledge to fight to the death for
France. Schumann has introduced the
into the song as a stir.
ring climax and as an added impress
sion of the loyalty of the French SOL
der.

mosphere surcharged with political
electricity congress, summoned into
extraordinary session by President

It's leaders and the rank and file
alike knew that the session would be

tendig forces for the upper hand. Or
one side were ranged democrats and

After formal proceedings incident

led the legislators back. This is, IL
the main, the passage Of the admins
tration ship subsidy bill, designed by
its sposors as means OF establish
ing firmly the American merchant
marine, and thus extending foreign

forces will clash, with the Democrat
Progressive group bending all their
resources to defeat the bill, ard the

sage.
While this Min battle is on, ap
preparation bills will be prepared for
