MANY DESIRE To
MARRY YOUTHFUL
FAIRPORT MAYOR
Pretty Ohio Woman Is De-
Iuged With Proposals; So
Far Her Heart Has Re-
sisted SuitorS' Efforts.

Fairport, O., Feb. 7.--Despite
being dcIuged with marriage pro-
posals during the first month Of
her incumbency as mayor of this
little town, DR.. Amy A. Kaukonen,
youthful and pretty. claims she
is still able to pay strict attention
to the business of being mayor
and that thus far her heart has
resisted the efforts of her num-
erous suitors.
Miss Kaukonen says:
cone letter begins: There is
no doubt that when you receive
this soul plea from a poor widow
er with nine mOtherless children
wherein one learns a little farther
on that the supplicant weighs
two hundred and twenty pounds
and yearns fon some one who
can make apple pie, save money
and love me- He also states that
he is the best cornet player in

MANY of the writer's sent their
photographs with the letters, One
elderly farmer from Kansas wrote
that he owns a farm of over
thousand acres and though he
has a little hard cider in his cell
ar If his suit is successful he'll
right soon get rid of that and
closes by saying that though he'll
be 'seventy-five, come next March.
to marry the first woman mayor
in Ohio would be the climax of
my ambition
Another said he would be
willing to give up his pay en-
velope every Saturday night and
not fight about it either and
earnestly requested but don't let
this get into the papers or maga-
zines
"a few of them wanted me to
telegraph at their expense my an
swer to their generous but urg-
ent offers. A gentleman from
Missouri forwarded with his let
ters sworn affidavit to prove that
he was not married at present but
has hopes"
Asked for her views on mar
riage the woman mayor replied:
"As far as 'masiage goes . l be-
lieve in only one kind; marriage
that is the natural result of true
love. Marriage does not inter-
fere with a woman's career. If
more people married for love and
fewer for money and social posi-
ton this world would be far hap
pier"
No. I have never been In love
but expect to be perhaps some
day." Miss Kaukonen naively con-
cluded.

MINISTER RiDICULES
PROHIBITION AND THE
ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. T.
Prohibition and the Utah anti
cigarette law were ridiculed here
today before the city commission
by Rev. Elmer I. Goshen, pastor of
the First Congregational church,
when he appealed to the police and
the commission to devote more
time to running down highwaymen
and murderers which are menacing
the community, instead Of spending
so much of their effort to enforcing
such freak" laws as prohibition
and the anti-cigarette measure.
Continual holdups, burglaries and
shooting affairs, in this city brought
q group of representative citizens
today before city officials in an ap-
peal for more stringent observation
of the criminal element, at which
time they offered cooperation in
such endorsements.

F INANCINC THE
BONUS CAUSING
CHIEFS CONCE RN
Harding Objects to Writing
Into the Bill a Provision
for Use of the Refunded
Foreign Bonds.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 7.-Word went
out from the White House today
that President Harding was strong
Ily opposed to the writing into the
soldier bonus bill of a provision for
| the use of the refunded foreign
bonds in helping finance the ad-
Ijusted compensation program.
Confidence was expressed that
no such provision would be in
Icluded in the measure.
The president was represented as
taking the view that since the re-
funding negotiations would be in
complete when the bonus bill 1as
passed it would be unwise to &C.
pend upon the foreign bones as a
source of revenue to meet cOmpea-
aatiOn payments. In his talks with
congressional leaders he is under
stood to have insisted that the
bonus legislation provide definite
and certain revenue sources.
Financing Problem,
The problem of fina laiHg the
bonus is given congressional lead
ers no small concern. WCh the
house ways and means committee
hearings ended today, majority
members of the committee and the
senate finance committee plan to
attack that problem soon. one DIFF
ficulty in connection with the
of the bill, it is explained,
is the lack of definite information
as to the cost of carrying out the
five way plan. This vii dapcn
on the number of former service
men who choose the va"i0IS plans.
If all take cash the cost would be
approximately 0,009,G00 withinI
two and one-half years. The basis
on which the committeeman will
work in solving the financing prob
lem probably will be that fifty per
cent Of the men will take cash.
Since the cash payments would
be distributed over more tEal two
years, with the quarterly payment
during the period equalling one
tenth of the total to be paid each
many members of con-
cress believe a large majority Of
the men will elect one of the other
four plans, insurance. vocational
aid. Officials of the American le- |
gion who have appeared before the /
house committee also share this |
view.
Estimates Submitted.
Fiscal officers of the army, navy |
md marine corps have submitted |
estimates to the committee that The |
total cost of the bonus would be |
approximately s2.500.000,000 This |
IS on the basis that fifty per cent OF |
.he men who served with the army !
and Is per cent of those serving |
With the navy and marine corps will |
take cash. Navy and marine corps |
officers told the committee today |
hat the rs per cent figure was ar
rived Mt on the theory that men |
who served at sea were less tied to
he land than those who served in
he army.

To Improve Business.

President Harding now has turned
his attention to improving business. TO
accomplish this the president has
been holding meetings at the White
House with the leading men in the most
important industries. He already has
met with the leaders Of the steel busi-
ness and of the railways.
At the steel meeting 1t was agrees
the steel plants should attempt to -
away with the practice Of making men
work IL hours daily and adopt the
eight hour day. This, II done. would
mean that more men would be en-.
ployed and that the workers would have
more time for rest.
AT the railway meeting. the presi-
dent asked the railway presidents to
reduce freight rates. This would mean
that almost everything you buy would
be cheaper, because part Of the price
you pay represents the freight cost
from the place where the article was
manufactured to Ardmore.
