RAIL PEACE
BACKS
Ben HOOPER
Chairman Says Strike
Questions Will Return
to Labor Board.

Chicago, Sept 14.-(By the As
sociated Press. )-The settlement Of
the shopmen's strike on certain
railroads sustains the transporta-
tion act and should the questions
upon which the strike was predi-
Gated come back to the United
States railroad labor board, "the
fullest and fairest consideration
will be granted, Ben w. Hooper.
chairman of the labor board, said in
a statement today.
The chairman's statement fol-
lows:
Glad of Partial Peace.
"As a positive disbeliever in the
moral right and practical efficacy
of railway strikes, l am glad to
know the strike has ended on part
of the roads. 1t is to be hoped that
some plan of settlement can be
agreed upon for all the others. No
extended comment, neither in a
postponed nor postmortem investi-
cation, is necessary. The settle
ment must sustain the transporta
tion act and the theory of orderly
procedure of the adjustment of la
Dor troubles in the railway indus
try. The decisions of the labor
board stand unmodified by the ap-
peal to the economic and physical
force. All the questions upon which
the strike was predicated will come
back to the board if the parties de-
sire to bring them there. If they
should be at any time re-opened,
the board will accord them the full
est and fairest consideration with
out any spirit of vindictiveness or
reprisal.
Seniority Question Unsettled.
THE question of seniority that
arose out of the strike is not dis
posed Of by the settlement as neith-
er party yielded its position, but the
matter is referred to a commission
composed of representatives OF
both sides. This is nothing more
nor less than an adjustment board
with jurisdiction relative to Ques-
tions rising out of the strike and
is in strict conformity with the
transportation act. 1t may also be
noted that this settlement is in sub
stance and effect identical with the
last recommendation made by Pres
ident Harding"

ILLINOIS CORN
CROP SUFFERS
AUGUST SLUMP
Prolonged Droughts
Cuts Yield 4,OOO,-
600 Bushels.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. IA
slump in the Illinois corn crop OF
more than $4,0G0,00O bushels in Au-
gust, due to the prolonged drought
and scattered days of excessive
heat, and an estimated increase OF
Il per cent in tts- number Of hogs
on farms for fattening, are out
standing changes announced in the
August report of A. J. Surratt, fed
eral agricultural statistician for
Illinois, which was issued here to-
day.
"The condition of the corn crop,
the report says, ''is well above the
average for the northern half Of
the state with conditions maintain
ed or slightly improved in some up
per west central and northwestern
counties, but shows varying deter
ioration for all other areas of the
state. Impairment becomes more
pronounced toward the lower west
central and southwestern counties
where much of the crop is below
average. Early fields are mostly
favorable and maturing rapidly
but the later half of the crop varies
/ from fair to poor.
"Yield will be irregular, due tc
the prevalence Of barren stalks
nubbins and poorly filled-out ears
Considerable cutting has been done
and silo filling was under way al
the close of the month"
Oats and Wheat Disappointing.
The report says that the thresh-
ing of spring-sown grains has been
completed. Returns show the yields
of these crops to be below aver
age. Some favorable yields of oats
have been made in the northern
area, but for the state as a whole
the yield of oats and spring wheat
are disappointing. Barley yield is
nearly up to the average.
Hay production has been abund-
ant with quality favorable as a
rule. The yield per acre Of timo-
thy for this season is 1.33 tons
compared with LIS tons last year
and the yield of alfalfa is estimat-
ed at 2.70, compared with 2.59 last
year.
o., Pastures Dried Up.
Early reports indicate about a 40
per cent increase in clover seed
acreage over that of last season
The condition Of the crop is very
uneven, but reported slightly above
average for the state as a whole
Pastures have suffered quite gen.
orally from drought and except in

SCHEME WORKED OUT WELL
How Host Made Pretty Sure That
UnweIcome Guest Would Not
Attend Engagement Party.

The problem was how to invite a
certain young woman TO the engage
ment party and still be certain that
she would decline to attend. She
was known to be killjoy, but if
she were not invited she would talk
of it.
About two weeks prior to the
party the couple managed to bring
together the young woman and a
masculine acquaintance of theirs.
After the proper Introduction the in
nocent young man and the young wo-
man were left alone.
The following week the young man
received two theater tickets. from his
acquaintance who was to be engaged,
who said he would not be able to use
them himself Three days later the
young woman received an invitation
TO the party.
"He's a nice fellow" ran part of
the letter in answer to the engage
ment party invitation, land he has
asked me to accompany him to the
theater on the very evening of your
party I would like to come to your
party, but l gave him my promise
before I received your invitation, so
you see how it is: l do hope you
will excuse me."-New York Sun.

attendance at divine worship was of
great assistance to him. 1t rounded
up the planters and small farmers
from remote corners and enabled him
with a minimum of effort to serve
writs, warrants, summonses, eXecu-
tons and similar official papers.
This practical method disturbed the
planters who did not fancy official in
trusion on such an occasion. SO, in
1868, they passed law prohibiting
the service of official papers on Sun

ADVANTAGE IN auburn" HAIR
According to This, 1t Gives Its Pos
SCISSOR a Distinct Start in
Matrimonial Race.

If you are a girl and have red hair,
pay no attention to those who nick
name you Carrots. 1t will not be
a sign of their disrespect, but Of
their jealousy, asserts London An
sWers.
An eminent doctor has just eX-
pressed the opinion that the red-haired
woman has a distinct advantage over
all others in the matrimonial race.
Man is attracted by the subtle shades
of copper and red in a girls hair,
and this explains why "henna" dye
is so popular. The girl who calls you
Carrots" the loudest will be the first
to try the effect of "henna" herself.
To complete the conquest butter
milk complexion must be added. If
you do not possess one naturally there
may he hope for you if you give
up flesh food and become a vegetarian,
living on fruits, cream, salads, raisins
and honey.
But, remember this--a wOman's
graces must be natural, or they will
not Outlive the glamor of cOurtship.
No self-respecting man will like to
feel that his love has been captured
by dyes and diet. And no self-re-
Specting girl will try thus to capture
him.
