Chairman Fordney predicts that a
soldier bonus bill will pass the
House. and that 1T will be satisfac-
tory to all Republicans" But Mr..
Fordney fails to explain how a plan
for raid on the Treasury OF such
magnitude as to endanger the pros
poets OF business recovery could be
satisfactory TO any citizen irrespec-
tive OF his political faith. Notwith-
standing Mr.. Fordney's faulty, the
question with the people is not one
Of politics or political expediency,
but whether the country shall be
driven into. or saved from, economic
chaos.
Secretary Mellon Is on record as
saying that there must be a reduc-
ton below the budget estimates for
1922 and 1928, or we shall face a
deficit OF s3OO.0OO.00O. To a ma
ton struggling under a burden OF
taxation that strangles industry, Il
IS not cheering to tell them that
worse is yet to come. Yet the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury points to the
figures and bids us read. And then
lie tells us that the sources OF reve-
nue. are drying up faster than the
governmental expenditures decrease.
This Is the situation while the
country is attempting to readiust its
affairs. It's struggle would not be
lightened by an enormous increase
in the load It is carrying. Facing
deficits and taking on additional ex-
penditures Is not the way to solv-
ency and full employment for labor
Until taxation is lightened industry
cannot prosper. Il matters not how
a bonus would he met-sales taxes
short-term certificates or long-tern

Had this independent force in the anthracite field bolted the main organization, the union would have signed a pact and used this a lever to force peace on their own demands. The independents refused to bolt and when the operators sat down today to face the leaders of the union it was with an organization of 100 percent standing pat.
 Anthracite operators met in New York Monday and Tuesday They went oyer every phase of the anthra- cite situation, their spokesmen say, but they were unable to work out a definite plan of settlement for pres entation at the opening of the barley today.

The repre- sentatives of the men declare that the call for a conference fixed the old wage scale as the starting point and that with it the operators have dropped all their demands for de- crease in wages.

theatre announced for an early open ing in Bridgeport.
 The theatre will inaugurate a policy of high-class moving picture plays and presentations, promising to reach a plane of artistic accomplishment, never before seen in Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Vail comes to Bridgeport from Associated First. National Pictures in New York, where she has been under contract to MT. J. D. Williams as special feature writer on film topics.
 She severed her connections with the New York American and Journal as motion picture editor after three and a half years service to ally herself with the First National interests.
 The institution of theatre hostess was inaugurated by Mrs. Vail in the Hope theatre, at Dallas, Texas, last spring. It is an innovation credited to MT. c. L. Yearsley of First National Pictures.
 It is entirely in the spirit of modern theatre management. The hostess duties are largely social. The hostess is called upon to welcome patrons of the theatre, to gain their opinions as to the program, to arouse civic and social interest in the theatre. and to make them glad they have attended performances
 In her capacity as publicity writer Mrs. Vail will co-operate with Mir. William W. Roberts, assistant man ager of the new theatre.

Apple Still "King or Fruito."

The total value of fruit and fruit uroducts in 1921 was smaller than for many previous years. This decline is largely attributed by the United States Department of Agriculture to the kill ing frosts early in 1921, although lower prices for fruit also entered into the equation Contrary to popular opinion, orchard fruits and small fruits such as strawberries and grapes dominated all other fruits in value comprising g per cent of the total value of all fruits and fruit products. Other classifcatiOns in order of their value are citrus fruits, IT per cent; small fruits such as strawberries and cranberries, 14 per cent; and grapes 13 per cent. The apple still retains it's right to be called the liking of fruits" as the apple crop leads all other crops in quantity and in value.
