Battles of the future will be won
or lost by the cold steel of the in
fantry, decided the experts of the
u. S. army after exhaustive inves-
tigation of the lessons learned in
the World War.
Modern inventions they say,
have not wrested from the foot
soldier, his importance as the de-
cisive factor.
The infantry of commerce, the
individual statesmen, decide bust
ness battles.
The personal work of each indi-
vidual salesman is as essential to
any successful marketing as the
infantry is to the armed force of a
nation.
The personal touch of a sales
man in each market is required
for the satisfactory handling Of
the account of a shipper of fruits
and vegetables.
Personal representation guards
against unjustifiable rejection, pro- &.
tects the commodity upon arrival
and insures prompt collections and
returns.
The American Fruit Growers
Inc. believes in personal represen-
tation in every carlot market.
The A. f. G.. has representatives
in 166 cities in the United States
and Canada, linked together in a
high-powered, coordinated sales
force.

TARIFF BILL is
HANDED SENATE
Announced 1t viii Be Taken Up
April 81; Long Fight On Some
Estimates in Prospect.

Washington, April 1.-THE ad-
ministration tariff bill, as rewritten
by the senate finance committee
Republicans on the basis for foreign
valuation with provisions for f1ex-
ible rates and proclaimed American
valuation as recommended by Pres
ident Harding, was presented today
to the senate 1t was announced
that it would be taken up April FL
A long fight is in prospect with
some estimates that it might con-
tinue for three months.
Taken as a whole the bill, accord
ing to estimates of committee ex-
perts, is slightly higher than the
Payne-Aldrich law, the last Repub-
Iican protective tariff act. As COM
pared with the house measure the
specific tariffs are generally higher
but the ad valorem rates generally
are lower, as such rates in the
house bill were based on American
valuation. Treasury experts have
estimated roughly that the bill
will raise from $500 ,000,0 900 to $780,
600, 900 of revenue annually, but
they have not yet had time 10 com
pIete accurate calculations. The
house measure was estimated TO
raise $500, 900, 900 while the Under
wood law yielded between $500, ,OOO,-
600 and 100000, 900.

Go Back Home and Get q job
Is MacNider's Appeal to Idle
Veterans; Too Many in Cities

Indianapolis, Ind, April LEX
service men of the country were
asked to go back to their home
and get a job, in an appeal
which Hanford MacNider, national
commander of the American legion
today asked the Associated Press to
broadcast to the jobless veterans,
who he said are congregating in the
larger cities, where the unemploy-
ment situation is becoming worse.
The legion's effort to find employ
ment for the 100000 jobless ex-ser-
vice men begun three weeks ago, is
gaining in effectiveness, Mr.. Mac
Nider said.
"F1Oater" Is Big Problem.
But the stiffest problem with
which the legion has had to deal
from the inception of this effort"
Mr. MacNider continued, has been
the f1oater, or tourist class, of un-
employed In order to benefit the
worthy the first principle of our eff
fort has been for every community
to take care of its own. l cannot
emphasize too strongly that the first
obligation of a community is to the
men who claim that community as
their home.

Rep. Woodruff Charges
Neglect in Lincoln
Motors Suit.

Washington, April 11.-Repre-
sentative Woodruff, Republican, of
Michigan. said in the house today
if the attorney general did not full
ly look to the interests of the gov
ernment" in a pending claim suit
against the Lincoln Motor COM
pany, he would consider him gull
ty of misfeasance" and move his
impeachment.
Mr.. Woodruff's statement was
made in the course of an extend
ed speech in which he charged that
the department of justice had fail
ed to proceed in civil and criminal
court against number of war
contractors, on testimony brought
out before congressional inVesti-
gat committees.
Wants War Contracts PrObed.
At the same time the Michigan
representative introduced reso-
luton for appointment of commit
tee to investigate all war contracts
made by the war and navy depart
ments and the alien property custo-
dian, the settlement of such con-
tracts by these departments and the
attorney general, land the civil and

ernment arising out of such con-
tracts, eE thesset.lement thereof.

"The drifter who has not thought
enough of any community to be-
come identified with it and assume
his fair share of the obligations of
citizenship and community respon-
s1bilities, has no reason to believe
that community to be under any
obligation to him now.
'G0 TO Home Folks.7
There is congestion in the great
cities. Here unemployment is at its
worst. He is a poor man indeed,
who in his own home town has not
a job waiting for him, if he will put
himself in the way of getting it
The legion's advice is:
Get back home Get back among
your own comrades. Get back
among the people who have watched
you grow from boyhood and who
naturally feel the greatest graft
tude toward you for your service in
the war. Back with the home folks
lies your chance of honest, profit
able employment among friends.
Among strangers you can not ex-
pect to be treated other than as a
stranger. Other things being equal,
the boy from home will always be
preferred and the stranger will be
passed by"

Marshall, Texas, April 11.-Mer-
ritt Gibson, schoolboy who tore a
mask from the face of one OF three
men said to have been wearing the
costume of the Ku Klux Klan, Sat
urday night, today said he is not
worrying over a message which he
said he had received stating that
he had committed an objectionable

Just as the boys had finished de-

up the aisle of the school house.
Gibson, one of the debaters
against the Klan, tore the mask
from one of the men. The man was
not recognized.

CHICAGO'S DAY
OF VOTING HAS
USUAL ARRESTS
TlDo State Senators in
Net; No Bloodshed
Is Reported.

Chicago, April 11-voting in the
state primaries began here today
with the usual excitement, the
usual arrests, the usual running
back and forth of police details,
but without indication in the early
hours of the slugging and blood
shed which has characterized cleo
tions in which the campaigns were
as bitterly fought as the ones just
finished.
William M. Brinkman, state SEN
ator from the First senatorial dis
trict, running for reelection, was
arrested on charges of distributing
marked ballots within 100 feet of a
polling place and a detail from the
states attorneys Office arrested 16
men who were said to be going
from precinct to precinct, voting in
each. 1t was said that printed in
structions on how to vote and who
to vote for were found on several
of them.
Early Voting Light.
The men were arrested in the Of
uCS VI otdtC 0CAdlOA 6SOlS sc van
Lent. The policeman making the
arrest did not take Van Lent, but
States Attorney Grove sent them
back and Van Lent also was taken
into custody. He was released
shortly afterwards, however.
A steady rain made the voting
light during the morning, but to-
wards noon it cleared up and
there was a steadily increasing in
f1ux to the polling places.

to Break Through; Many
Families Homeless.

Beardstown, H., April IL
Blown into a fury by a
high wind. which sprung
up about 8 o'clock this morn
ing, Beardstown's levee gave
way at 11:10 o'clock, driv-
ing all workmen away, and
burying 25 city blocks under
a four foot sheet of water.
Waves four feet high
beat down the barricade of
sandbags which for a week
had withstood the pressure
of the highest water since
1874. This blow came after
the hopes of the inhabitants
had been buoyed up by the
falling of the river level, as
a result of the breaking of
dikes at Havana, and Mere
dosia.
At 9:45 o'clock this morning, Col
onel S. o. Trip. representing Adju
tant General Black. said the river
had fallen one and one-half inches
since last night. Wind at that time,
however, was blowing such a gale
that he declared there was pos
itively no hope that the levee would
last through the day.
Break Comes at 1I:10.
1t gave way at 11:10 O'Clock. The
rush of water through the breach
caught no one. according to reports,
as all the workers had been driven
back from their places shortly after
e~SNfhastorm started. They gave
way to wind and water, after with
standing the water alone, for six
long days and nights.
Mayor Wesley Perry said there
was nothing to be done. Every pre-
caution had been taken and that the
people were meeting the flood with
their accustomed coolness, gained
by experience in previous years.
Families made homeless are living
in tents or are being cared for by
their neighbors.
