OF Depression over
IN Every Business

CHICAGO, Feb. 4-After week of rising prices of
agricultural products, Julius H. Barnes former wheat
director and j. Ogden Armour, packer tonight issued
statements asserting that the farmer is coming into his
own again.
Calling attention to the fact that wheat has ad-
vanced almost IL cents and corn over cents within
week, Mr.. Barnes said:
1T is time to quit telling the farmer he is bankrupt
1t is time to quit telling industry there is no farm
market"
Among hopeful signs Of recent months, Mr.. Barnes
said were stabzing of foreign markets. desire to help
the farmer at home 25 per cent advance in wheat
prices 80 per cent for oats and 35 per cent for hogs
while sheep have almost doubled, and cotton has
doubled in price.
"All farm selling prices are on the upgrade" he
said. Al that the farmer buys has cheapened Labor
is plentiful and cheaper Farm credit difficulties have
eased Europe will pay in 1922 with less difficulty than
in 1921"
1--WE are getting over our Sickness Mr. Armour
said. 1T is time to forget what is behind us and look
ahead am optimistic on the business situation and
believe it is time to sell stocks or anything We are
getting out of the low priced period and all the bad stuff
is behind U.s. Business is better all around Livestock
higher and we must look ahead"
In addition to advances in prices of farm products
the week was featured by big reductions in some farm
implements.

Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Respect for
all laws in the country has been put
under a "demoralizing strain" by the
national prohibition amendment, AS
sociate Justice John III. Clarke of the
United States supreme court said in
an address tonight.
The eighteenth amendment" he
said, required millions of men and
women abruptly to give up habits
and customs of life which they
thought not immoral or wrong, but
which, on the contrary, they believed
to be necessary to their reasonable
comfort and happiness, and thereby,
as we all now see, respect not only
for that law, but for all laws, has
been put to an unprecedented and de-
moralizing strain in our country. the
end of which it is difficult to see."
The mass Of trivial litigation
brought before the supreme court of
the United States was deplored by
Associate Justice Clarke.
He urged lawyers, in order to con-
serve the time of the court, to con-
slider as a citizen rather than an ad-
vocate whether the case was of suf-
ficient general Importance to justify
his calling 1t to the attention Of
body primarily organized to deal
with matters of greatest public con-
Germ. He also, begged that the facts
in a case be well and tersely stated
and that briefs actually be made
brief.

rRepubIIcan A. 2. leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4--Declara-
ton that the economies which Presi-
dent Harding and Director Dawes Of
the budget announced yesterday at
the second business meeting of the
government were largely of a paper
variety, was made today by Repre-
sentative Byrnes of South Carolina,
Democrat member of the house ap-
preparations committee, who in a
statement voiced the fear" that Mr..
Harding had been so absorbed in
other matters that he was not con-
versant with the existing situation"
in government finances.
According to the press" Mr..
Byrnes said, "a direct saving of $780,
000 600 and indirect saving Of $104,-
100000 had been accomplished in less
than six months The fact is that as
against this alleged saying the Presi-
dent, at the instance of the budget
bureau, has recently submitted a re-
quest for additional appropriations
as deficiencies, amounting to $780,
T04,2S6 and within a few days con-
gress will commence consideration of
another deficiency bill to take care
OF the shortage in funds. This
amount is in addition to the urgent
deficiency bill appropriating $50, 556,-
222, and the first deficiency bill ap-
propriating $105,277,443. If the $780,
704,2S6 now asked by the President is
granted it will make the total de-
hciencies to date 1886, 6,537.953.
IT rejoice that the President reit-
Grated his opposition to deficiencies.
because ! hesitate to think what
amount would be requested if he
were not opposed to deficiencies"
Representative Byrnes said that II
the amounts mentioned had been
saved, the treasury should show it. |
He declared that no such showing. |
however, had been made, and added: |
Il fear the reason why it is not !
done is that the alleged savings in |
most instances consist only in the |
postponement of actual eXpeditures |
until the next fiscal year"
Mr.. Byrnes declared that the sup |
Elemental estimates for the next fiscal |
year. amounting TO $S0,0S3,220 added |
to the total amount requested for |
the fiscal year 1923, would make that |
total sl09,296,365 more than the |
amount appropriated for the current

CARDINALS FAIL
To ELECT POPE
ON FOURTH VOTE
TRepubllcan A. ?. Leased WIreI


ROME, Feb. 4.-The baIloting of
the members OF the Sacred College
for the successor of Pope Benedict
XIV today again proved fruitless.
Shortly before sundown the vast
crowds which had assembled around
the vatican and st. Peters dispersed
with even greater disappointment
than last evening when failure to
select a pontiff was announced by
the black smoke issuing from the Sis
tine chapel.
Gendarmes and troops had diff
Guilty in untagling the immense as
semblage of pedestrians AMI vehicles
that were massed together awaiting
throughout the day the final an
nouncement. And although there
was considerable disorder, only q few
minor accidents occurred.
Word came from the vatican that
the three cardinals: Marini. Pompilj
and Bacilieri, who were suffering
from influenza or colds. had suffi-
ciently recovered to take a personal
part in the proceedings today. AS
result the balloting was considerably
facilitated. But secrecy surrounds
the deliberations. Reports appear
ing in the newspapers purporting to
relate TO the progress made in the
conclave are characterized by the
vatican officials as absurd and fam
tastic."
Prior to the opening Of the con-
clave, the vatican was stocked with
what was considered an ample food
supply, but it became necessary to-
day to withdraw 10000 lire from the
bank for further provisions. portend-
ing a protracted duration of the con-
claVe, in which event Cardinal O'Con-
nell. archbishop of Boston. will
likely arrive in time to take part.
No definite announcement has
come from the conclave as to the
course to be pursued Sunday. In
some quarters it is believed the !
usual work would be suspended for
the religious ceremonies.
Interest in the balloting is increas- !
Ing as each succeeding vote shows |
that the cardinals have been unable |
to reach the necessary wo-thirds. |
The crowds this afternoon in st. |
Peters Square were the largest so
