BY RUDOLPH PERKINS

Bill French never saw Paris,
despite his name and classy buds.
In fact he came from somewhere in
Georgetown, so his girl, Ida Wur-
den, said.
Ida had a black eye. She was
also bandaged about the head and
complained of a kick in the ribs.
She blamed 1t all on Bill. al
though Bill insisted he never did il.
Several witnesses swore that he
really made a swipe at the girl and
injured her.
The trouble started, Ida said,
when she refused to give Bill some
cigarette money. She was afraid,
she said, that he would spend II
on some other woman and embar-
rass her.
Bill claimed that the girl fell
down when she tried 10 run away
from him, but from the looks of
her face. his story could not be
believed.
Dat gals jealous" he piped. IA

the court. This time you can pay

MONDAY, JANUARY y, 1922.
Many stars unite to assure the
welfare Of humanity. according to
astrology. Saturn Neptune and
Mars are all in benefc aspect.
During this sway 1t is wise to
push all real estate matters. Pur-
chases Of land today should be for
tunate.
New discoveries of wealth in the
earth are foreshadowed and oil will
bring prosperity to regions hither-
to unprospected.
The planetary government Is
most promising for peace, since
both Mars and Neptune are In
friendly sway.
This should be a most suspicious
date for beginning any big con-
structive work and there will be
large enterprises started on new
lines. II the seers are to be be-
lieved.
Again land and home ownership
are subject to the most stimulat-
Saturn sGms to promise a better
condition for labor in this country
and again new leaders are prom
iseh
During this planetary govern
ment the mind should be alert and
keen so that clear vision of pup
lie questions may be expected.
All the signs arc read as presag-
ing spread of education that will
include the study of economic ques-
tions and better understanding of
human relations.
Mars today gives strength to all
who depend on their physical pow
ers and should benefit athletes as
well as those who work with the
hands.
Persons whose birthdate il is may
meet some difficulties in the com
Ing year. but they may expect sue
cess and recognition. Make no
changes.
Children born on this day will he

Agricultural Conference
Will Embrace Many
Allied Industries.

BY direction of the president, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Henry c. Wal
lace, is shortly to call national agri-
cultural conference to consider what
corrective and constructive steps can
be taken to relieve the depression in
the farming industry. The confer
ence will not be limited to representa-
tives of agriculture but will include
all important allied industries, such as
packers, millers, railways and water
carriers, exporters, commission mer-
chants, and so-called middlemen.
The calling of the conference is an

ton to institute some practical means
of relief along the lines suggested in
Mr.. Harding's recent address to con-
gress, when he called attention to the
depression.

Cancer Proves to be
Great Toll Taker.
Mortality Steadily In
creasing from Dread
ed Disease.

WASHINGTON.-The department
of commerce, through the bureau of
the census, announces that nearly
seventy-three thousand deaths were
due to cancer in the death registra-
ton area of the United States in 1920,
and if the rest of the United States
had as many deaths from this cause
in proportion to the population. the
total number of deaths from cancer
in the entire United States for 1920
was $4,000, while for 1919 the num-
Der is estimated as $4,000 or 5000 less
than for 1920.
The trend of the cancer death rate
is Upward, the rate for 1920 being
higher than that for any earlier year
in u of the 80 states for which rates
are shown in the following table. The
cancer death rate in the registration
area in 1920 was SO a per 100000 popu-
lation, against 80.5 per 100000 popu-
lation for 1919 In comparing the
death rate from cancer in one state
with that in another, the bureau uses
adjusted" rates in order to make al
lowance for differences in the age and
the sex distribution of the population
because generally speaking, only per
sons in middle life, and old age have
cancer, so that state with many old
persons may be expected to have more
deaths from cancer than state with

output extend, was 10000 tons in
1914.
Expressing the same idea in Diff
ferent terms, it may be noted that the
present production is at the rate OF
only 362,0OO,000 tons year. The
latest year in which the country's
needs were met with so small an
amount was 1908. This fact is the
more extraordinary when it is remem-
bered that December is ordinarily a
month of maximum output, and that
the country's normal requirements
have increased by 175,00O,000 tons
since 1908.
"The Lake season is over, and the
seaborne expert trade is very dull
but these facts alone do not accoun
for the decrease in output. 1t is evi
dent that coal is flowing rapidly GU
