prcme Court. was passed TO become ef-
fectiye November, l.
The bill of complaint. filed by Henry
S. Robbins. chairman OF the board.

an Interstate commerce trade that is

prevail the coinage Of "a silver dollar
commemorative of the peace following
the World war, thus completing the
redesigning of the entire silver coin

now been brought to state of artistic
excellence compared with the best
coinage of existing nations"

Philadelphia, Pa.-When DR.. Robert

received telephone call from a far
mer living back of Newton square, in
forming him that the stork was hover
ing around and that the physician was
desired to greet the bird, the only
road that was net blockaded by snow
was one leading oVer bridge, across
Darby creek, that was condemned and
closed to traffic two weeks ago.
Neighbors of the anxious farmer
communicated with the Delaware
county commissioners and obtained
permission to open the bridge, with
the proviso that DIR. Elmer use it at
his own risk.
The farmers laid planks upon the
structure and the doctor drove his
car carefully over it and hurried to
his patient, to be there when the
stork arrived.

SELLS CORN 5 CENTS KERNEL
Washington Farmer Develops Gigantic
Type Of Grain by Careful
Selection.

Prosser, Wash-J. D. Sutton, a we'll
known farmer residing near Byron, is
selling seed corn at cents per kernel.
1t is a-species= Of huge growth de-
veloped within the confines of Sutton's
farm.
Last fall in county fairs around the
northwest, Sutton took first prizes
with twenty-five stalks of this corn.
most of which were between twenty
one and twenty-four feet high. Each
stock. some as large as mans fore
arm, maintained several huge ears of
corn.
He received letter from an eastern
seed house asking for facts regarding
his monster cornstalks. BY CORE
spondence he found it to be valuable
and soon received an offer amounting
to about 5 cents per kernel. Sutton
developed the tall, heavy fodder corn
by growing on rich bottom land and
each season saving for seed only the
earliest and largest specimens of ears.

PEKING USING P0LICEWOMEN

Peking.-Woman police are the lat

has the reputation of being exception
ally good and easily comparable with
police forces in the cities of foreign
countries. It was found that in the
Hatamen Octroi that goods were being
struggled past the police by women,
and in order to cope with the situation
the ranks of the police in the district
were augmented by ten policewomen.
No report has yet been issued as to
the success of this experiment, which
marks the opening of a new field of
work for the women of China.

The ten thousand colored people
who listened to the President appeal
for political and educational equal
ity for them, cheered because they
know that their own, state disfran-
chises them by the thousands and

school funds. His twenty thousand
white hearers were correspondingly
silent.
On the other hand President Hard
ing subscribed to the white South's
view Of "social equality" which
means intermarriage laws, jimcrow
street cars and railways, no political
offices for colored people and discrim-
nation at every point Of contact be-
tween the two races. Carried out to
its logical conclusion the President
would sanction separate school for
the hundred colored families in Ban
gor Me-, separate cars for the Boston
subways and a disruption of the
Methodist Episcopal church.

President Of the United States to

his election rather than after it.

They came wandering in, rather

Father, too, looked bored. His gen.

The girls went into raptures over q
doll in a red peaked cap. Was
1t just imagination, or was there really
a crowd of children there? Who were
those Others-a little shy, perhaps
slightly annoyed? Just shadows, no
doubt.
One thing is certain. If the children,
of 1000 years ago had suddenly come
to life these four little Londoners

and fought well, receiving two wounds
and two mentions in army dispatches.

TO PLAY CHRIST ON STAGE
For the First Time an Impssscnation
of Christ on the English Stage
Is Perm.<xed.

London. - An impersonation of
Christ has been permitted for the
first time on an English stage in the
production here of Stringberg's SYM
bolic play, advent" A fourteen-year-
old girl appeared as the Redeemer.
Dramatic critics are inclined to
take the view that the English stage
censorship is broadening in regard to
religious plays, probably owing to
the fact that representations Of Christ
have appeared often in the films.
In the past years, several plays
nave been refused licenses because
they included Christ as one of the
characters. Others received permits
sion on condition that no character
should appear symbolic of the con-
ventional conception of Divinity in
human form.

DRIVE OUT RUSS REDS
Persians Rid Their Country of
Last of Communists.
Failure Of Bolshevik Invasion of Per-
sIa Attributed to QuarreIs of Three
Bandit chiefs-Russians Are
Rather Cynical.

Baku, AZerbaij an.-The last of the
Russian communists have arrived here
from Persia, fleeing before the troops
OF the shah, under the general direc-
ton of the prime minister, Ghavamos
Saltane, who demanded that the terms
of the Angl0-Russian treaty for both
nations to. let Persia work out her
own destiny be observed. .
Rotstein, the soviet ambassador to
Teheran, has been sent home, among
others. s.
The invasion of Persia was under
taken in 1920, the Russian communists
cooperating with three revolutionary
bandit chiefs of Persia-Ehsanella
Kutchik and Haidar.
The failure Of the movement is at
trlbuted here to quarrels between the
three bandit chiefs.
Now that the effort of soviet Russia
to sovietize Persia has definitely
failed, the Russians are taking a rath-
er impartial if not cynical view Of the
events during the last year. They
maintain that the 60 or so little shahs
or feudalist landlords, each with his
court and army, continue to weaken
the central government by their quar-
rels and ambitions, and that, so long as
they have any power, no nationalist
movement is possible and Persia will
remain almost in the same condition
as England of centuries ago under the
barOns.
Aside from the Anglo Russian treaty,
multitude OF reasons are given for
the Red failure in Persia One is that
the soviet freedom to women, includ-
ing abandoning of the chadrah, or veil.
pleased the women, but not their hus-
bands, and made many enemies for
the soviet.
Another reason was that the Rus
slams mistOok the feudalists for re-
formers. These persons were ready
for any revolution that would over
throw the power Of the shah. until
they realized that communism would
wreck their own estates.
The merchant class at first welcomed
the communists, only later to grow
cold, as they saw the fruits of a divi-
sion of property. house acquisitions
and other odds and ends of commu-
nism.
Yet another reason was that the
peasants themselves, trained in the
lslamic law to respect property, re-
fused to accept division of land be-
longing to their landlords.
