CHICAGO, Sept. PA basis for
settlement of the strike of rail shop
men was considered today by the gen
eral policy committee of the shop
crafts, B. M. Jewell. head of the rail
employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, announced at
the conclusion of the morning session
JeWelPs brief statement was the
first public acknowledgment that a
strike settlement basis had been pre-
sented to the policy committee, not
Wlthstanding many rumors and re-
ports concerning settlement plans.
He, however, would give no indica-
tions what the plan was and asked
that speculation concerning it be
dropped in order not to interfere with
the committees discussion.
Leaders Optimistic
Mr.. Jewell and other union leaders
appeared optimistic and many of them
were smiling when they left the con-
ference room at noon after a two hour
session.
"The meeting has adjourned for
lunch to meet at l p. m, to continue
consideration of the strike and a pro
posed basis for settlement, which has
been presented" was all that Mr.
Jewell would announce.
Other union officials were equally
CHEEKY Of manner and equally secre
tive, although some of them said they
expected a decision later this after
noon Mr.. Jewell earlier in the day
said he thought a decision probably
would be reached by or p. m.

tee of shopcrafts embodied proposals
worked out by B. NJ. Jewell, head of the

was that decision as to acceptance oi
the proposals depended largely upon
the number of roads ready to agree to
the proposition.
Report Provisions
Officials said it was indicated that
between so and rs roads were inclined
to favor the settlement plan under con

The proposals were understood here
to involve the return to work of al

tions of dispute to be arbitrated by

to have been mentioned in the settle
ment plan.

BERLIN, Sept 12-In sending DR..
Fischer and Karl Bergman to Paris
again, with instructions to hold them
selves at the disposition of the repara-
tions commission, Germany has ini-
tiated steps calculated to forestali
definite breaking off of the negotia-
tions begun last week with MN. Be
melmans and DelacroiX, the Belgian
representatives.
Rejection of the German proposal
for prolongation of the term of issue of
the treasury notes to be handed over
to Belgium it Is believed in official
quarters would be tantamount to a de-
mand for the Reichsbank's gold as
security. But the Germans are equal
ly certain that France would be will
ing to dispense with such an alterna.
tive in the present situation. They
believe that inasmuch as the payments
under discussion wholly concern Bel
gium, the French attitude in connec
tion with the surrender of the German
gold reserve will not assert itself al
this time.
The impression also prevails among
the German officials who participated
in the discussions with NM. Bemel
mans and Delacroix that the latter
personally were not opposed to &C
ceptance of the proposal of DR.. Her
mes, German minister of finance, tc
extend the maturity period of the
notes.

MISSOURI CROPS, OCT, 1922

The farmers Of st. Francois county
are now reporting their corn as 81
per cent of full crop with prospec-

Our farmers estimate that "a per
cent of the 1922 wheat crop has been
marketed and that the quality Of the
oat crop is only IS per cent Of an av-
erage. In addition, the yield Of Irish
potatoes in the county is put at only
II bushels per acre and the condition
of apples is rated at Ga per cent and
pastures are now 55 per cent.
Missouri corn made no improve

September, now II per cent of nor

according to E. A. Logan and jewell
Mayes of the State-Federal Crop Re-

FORTY THOUSAND ATTEND
DEMOCRATIC RALLIES
FIRST TEN DAYS

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. Forty thou
sand persons, including men, women,
Democrats, Republicans, Independ-
ents and Socialists. have made up the
audiences at the various tent and raj
ly campaign meetings held under the
auspices of the Democratic State
Committee since the opening Of the
present campaign in Audrain county
ten days ago.
This announcement was made here
today by former Congressman Viii
liam l.. Igoe, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, after anal
yzing reports and tabulating figures
in connection with the attendance at
the different meetings.
Two large circus tents are being
used throughout the various Con-
gressional Districts, it having been
found that local halls and theatre ia
cilitics were inadequate to accommo
date the large crowds. The night
meetings are proving most popular,
reports indicating that farmers and
| residents of the rural districts drive
many miles to attend.
The Democratic campaign, since
the opening at Mexico with an after
noon and night meeting on Septem-
Der 81, has been carried directly into
fifteen counties, although in each in
stance the attendance has numbered
residents of surrounding counties ad-
jacent to the point where the meeting
was held.
Throughout the past ten days, there
have been tent meetings in nine coun-
ties. Three of the tent meetings were
held in the afternoon, the balance
taking place at night, In addition to
the tent meetings, three large cam
paign meetings were held at Harri-
sonville, Nevada and Joplin, the prin-
cipal speaker being United States
Senator A. o. Stanley of Kentucky.
! United States Senator James A.
Reed has addressed each tent night
meeting. He was accompanied in
majority of the meetings by United
States Senators Joseph T. Robinson
of Arkansas and Stanley of Kentucky,
together with Democratic nominees
and prominent local men and women
speakers.
eve are naturally elated,' said
Chairman Igoe, cover the growing en-
thusiasm and cordial receptions ac-
corded as at every meeting
"The size of the crowds in almost
every instance has shown a marked
contrast as compared with the audi
ences of the Republican meetings. En-
couraging reports are coming in to
headquarters from every section of
the state, including friendly express
sions from men and women. Demo-

Gratis and Republicans alike. Judging
by the evidence at hand from every
part of the state, to date, there is go
ing to be very healthy showing for
the Democratic party after the votes
are counted on. the evening OF Nov.

Tent rallies and meetings sched-
uled for next week include, Canton,
Monday night; New London, Tuesday
afternoon; Hannibal, Tuesday night;
Paris, Wednesday night; Moberly,
Thursday night; Brunswick, Friday
night; and Carrollton, Saturday night.
Widespread approval of art critics,
together with prominent men and wo-
men in various sections of the state,
has been expressed upon the action of
the Democratic State Committee in
the official adoption of the Sod
dess of Liberty" as the emblem of
the Democratic party of Missouri.
This announcement was made here
today by Judge o. w. Hackworth,
chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, following completion of the draw
ing by s. Carlisle Martin, noted st.
Louis artist.
Mr.. Martin, member of the art de-
partment of the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch and known in art circles
throughout the United States for
more than quarter of a century,
completed the design following a
close study of the subject.
The design will supplant the FAM
out donkey and will appear upon the
blanket ballot above the name of the
Democratic party at the November
election. The new blanket law au-
thorizes political parties to adopt a
party emblem. The new emblem will
also be used by the Democratic
State Committee on all of its litera-
ture during the present campaign.
Liberty" said Judge Hackworth,
"has for centuries been the dream of
many peoples-of authors, poets and
artists. It has always stood for the
power of choice, freedom from ne
cessity, compulsion or restraint. 1t
seems eminently fitting that this
choice should have been made by the
Democratic party of Missouri, and we
feel that ii will receive the stamp of
approval from all parts of the coun-
try"

the east side it was only fair.

"CHIPS FROM THE OLD BLOCKS"

n EMEMBER how the promise of "a hum
* dred guns at sunrise" was prominently
advertised on practically every 4th. of July
poster in the days of giant frecrackers and how
you expected to be awakened on the 4th. by
terrific ''boom!", but somehow the "boom" never
happened? Yet that advertisement, tho not liter
ally true in most instances, very accurately gave
promise of the type of celebration that woulG
ensue, namely day of noisy frecrackers. In
those days preceding the fourth there was a
gradual increase of "bang! bang!" until they
eliminated in one grand din on Independence Day,
after which you seldom heard one.
Attic today the small boys love of noise
bears a striking resemblance to that of his not
very distant ancestors, his gee is evidently just
as great over the not very dangerous "pop! pop
pity! pop!" of even Minnesota's Limit. With
him too during the first days of July there was a
steady increase of his "pop! pop! pop!" which
likewise ended on the fourth with all the noise
the law would allow him to make-Say, the
sons of today not so very unlike their fathers
in some respects are they And yet the ex-
plosion of these terrible frecrackers" of today
is just 'bominable. Such senseless noise! Just
like burning money!-And we are just little bit
like our parents of days gone by, aren't We?

WHY NOT A PARK PLATFORM

4 simple platform of ample size should be
~ placed in the park for the use of the band
= in its Sunday concerts The present band
stand located near the South entrance of the park
is entirely too small to meet the present demands
of this organization which numbers thirty pieces.
A platform could be constructed inexpensively
and yet be as serviceabe as more costly one.
That some such arrangement is needed is quite
evident if but moments thot is given the mat
ter; for it is relatively difficult for band located
on the level with it's auditors to give that audience
as great satisfaction as would be possible if the
players were so stationed that they would be in
full view of everyone. We all like to see the
band performing well to hear it. If we
can not see the entertainers, other happenings
constantly thrust themselves in our line of vision
with resulting detraction of our attention from
the music To be able to see the band aids to
quite an extent accordingly, in holding ones at
tention during the rendition of a selection. As
the sound also carries better under this condition.
the finer points of the playing become more audi
BILE. For the same reason, this platform could
also be used to advantage by speakers at the var-
Gus functions, such as picnics, which are held in
the park. During the 4th. of July program, the
old Civil War Veteran, C. H. Hopkins, and the
speaker of the day, DR.. Olson, had to stand on
chairs placed on the impromptu platform in order
to make themselves heard by everyone. No one
is criticized for the platform that was erected,
since temporary affair it was perhaps the
best that could be put up under the circumstances.
The parties responsible for the platform rather
deserve credit for anticipating the need of plat
form. But the point is that permanent plat
form that will really and truly serve all program
purposes is very much needed. As the use of
Ramsey Park for such gatherings is continually
growing, why not satisfy this increasing need for
a platform?

THANKS CARD TO CITY DADS

. HE City Council did something that will be
thoroly appreciated by the citizens when
= they caused the cement side walks in the
residential sections to be repaired. These walks
were laid very many years ago and in the time
that has since elapsed no attention has in all pro-
liability been given them At quite number of
places they were as a result disintegrating to
such an extent that stumbling on them was by no
means an unheard Of thing. Accordingly, the ac-
ton Of the council together with further attention
as the need may arise will make those sidewalks
serviceable for great many years.

conduct Why then do such individuals continu-

secluded spot than public gathering SO that
they will at least not interfere with the pleasure
of others People as rule pay hard earned
cash to attend an entertainment and they pay
that price Of admission for the express purpose
Of hearing that for which they came. The edific-
alton contributed from the platform is usually
somewhat greater than that which flows so easily
from the nuisance's tongue. Such an individual
interferes with the close attention to the subject
on the part Of both artist and audience. But
while talking son this matter-there is also some
joy to be found therein. That lies in the fact
that there are relatively few specimens Of the
above variety in our community. And with many
of these 'few' who are guilty Of thus infringing
on the rights Of others, it is due simply to thot-
lessness But even tho thotlessness is frequently
at the base, that does not decrease the annoyance
itself of such conduct.
