Ships, Pullman cars, tents and
army supply base buildings, private
homes and hotels will house the thou
sands of delegates and visitors ex-
pected at the American Legion ma.
tiodal convention at New Orleans,
October 1920. preliminary canvass
by the convention hotels and hous-
ing committee has demonstrated the
fact that New Orleans will be able
to house 10000 guests. Passenger
liners will be docked and former
"gobs" and marines will be allotted
first cabin accommodations on them.
A Pullman city of hundreds of cars,
to be established in three large rail-
road yards, will care for $4,000 visit
ors, the convention committee has
announced. The hotels on wheels"
will be provided with all the convent
ences of a modern hostelry. Dining
car service will be maintained, show
er baths will be erected and all equip
ment will be electrically lighted while
parked. The railroads have estab-
lished a charge of $12 for parking
in addition to the s54 for daily Pull
man car rental The average cost to
the Pullman guest will be about 81
a day. If the size of the convention
crowd warrants it tents will be erect
ed on the parquets of some of the
more centrally located boulevards. A
model barracks, patterned after those
of cantonment days, will be establish
ed in the army supply base, fifteen
million dollar structure on the river
front. Private homes will be thrown
open to the veteran who brings his
wife to the convention. New Orleans
hotel men have agreed upon uni
form rate schedule of $1.50 a day
without bath and $3.50 with bath.
Charges in the tent cities and inn
provised hotels will be from fifty to
seventy-five cents day and the cost
in private homes will compare favor
ably with the hotel rates. All reser-
vations for rooms during the five
days of the convention must be made
through the legion department adju-
tant of the state from which the Wis
itor goes.

An unusual type of return for

An unusual type of return for a
banded bird was recently sent in to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture from Corning, Ohio June
20 a band was taken from the stom'
ach of black snake which had been
placed on fiedgling catbird five days
before by the same person who found
it.
According to reports received by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, there have been 14S,212
muskrat skins shipped from Alaska
since December 1, 1921. This is al
most as many as were shipped dur
ing the entire year of 1919.

A common tern banded as a fiedg.
ling at Brigantine, N. j., August 13
1920, holds one of the long-distance
records for this species, according
to reports to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t was re-
taken on May 20, 1922, at Paria Bay,
Blanchisseuse, Trinidad. Another
common tern on record was banded
as a nesting on the cosast of Maine,
and recovered four years later in the
delta of the Niger river, on the west
coast of Africa.

that the covers paid for themselves

points out, however, that although
his county has only 1886 farms, 10
per cent of the farmers have signed
enrolment blanks, which signifies
active participation in systematic
livestock Improvement work. In iris

which livestock is the principal pro-
duct probably would be much higher

VIoLAToRS OF LIVESTOCK
LAWS MUST PAY FINES

For violation of regulatory laws re-
lating to livestock and meat fines
we're recently imposed in 4S cases, as
announced by the bureau of animal
husbandry in it's service and regula-
tory announcements for July. The list
of violators includes railway and ex-
press companies, meat dealers and
livestock ownres. Most of the VIOLA
tions were of the quarantine law
which restricts the interstate ship
ment of diseased, ticky, or uninspect-
ed stock. Several livestock owners
encountered the federal law when
attempting to drive or ship tubercu-
lous cattle interstate.
Violations of the meat inspection
law included the ogering of unsound
meat, shipping uninspected meat and
lard, and, in one case, using a wrap
per bearing the meat inspection leg
end for wrapping uninspected meat.
The majority of the fines range from
$25 10 $780, Although the federal
laws and regulations relating to live
stock are for the most part well un-
derstood and complied with, persons
unfamiliar with the regulations and
with the importance of preventing in
terstate shipment of diseased ami
mails and unsound meats may obtain
copies of regulations by applying to
the department.

A DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT

The lady was fat, though she prid.
ed herself on her neat appearance.
One day she appeared on the hotel
porch with bunch of daisies pinned
on her summer dress. An old south
ern gentleman, wishing TO be polite,
said. "Your flowers are charming
You look like Virginia hillside
l,arper's.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-08-31

1t takes so little to make us glad,
Just a cheering clasp of a friendly
hand,
Just a word from one who can under
stand,
And we snish the work we long had
planned,
And we lose the doubt and the fear
we had
So little it takes to make us glad.

Drop in Reserve Ratio Of Gov

+ couraging.

NEW YORK. Nov. 17-If any
additional evidences were needed of
the continuous expansion Of Amer.
lean domestic business, It can be
found in the weekly statements OF
the Federal Reserve banks that
have recently been coming to hand.
While the foes of initiation may
view with alarm" the gradual drop
m the reserve ratio of the reserve
system, these changes In themselves
show that the resources of the
system are being put to work, m.
stead of being tied up in lock boxes.
In the so-called frozen credit period,
the rediscounts of the Federal Re.
serve system were large, but they
represented simply the renewal of
old obligations and not live business
loans which, after fulfilling their
duties in one direction, are ready
to assume other tasks.

As CAUSE Of

Wall Street Guessing as to
Action Taken.by Big
Corporations.

NEW YORK. Nov. l7.-wail
Street is today advancing several
reasons for the present near
stampede OF corporations to shake
off big surpluses by voting large
stock or cash dividends. Nine ma
tionaily prominent firms, announc.
ing special dividend distributions
Wednesday. has focused attention
on the rare phenomenon OF q
general dividend declaration policy.
One current report is that the
Government, with corporation In
come taxes down and surtaxes cut
on private incomes. must find some
new way Of raising money to meet
the expected deficit. which may run
TO $500. O.0OO. 900. Tapping the un-
distributed surplus of corporations
under a new system Of taxation is
a means the Government might well
adopt, Il Is believed.
Some financiers are inclined to
see no, hing but the logical outcome
of the period Of business expansion
in the dividend declarations, while
others say II Is the psychological
consequence of the action first
taken by several Of the largest
corporations. whose lead smaller
ones usually follow.

Inc psychology of the matter is
that a bond which Is worth 100, but

not think Of purchasing It at 92.

that reason the vaieu OF substantial

WASHINGTON. April 10. The hear

the national coal strike were concluded
to-day for q time at least, The last day
being devoted TO taking testimony Of
labor spokesnrCn who denied charges
Of the operators that union contract
breaking was factor in the walk-out.
Chairman Nolan Of the committee said
there werc no plans at present for a
further investigation of the strike. but
the committee win meet Wednesday in
executive session to take action on the
Bland bill. which would set up a Fed
oral coal commission to deal with such
situations.
Witnesses appearing before the COM
mittee to-day included Edgar Wallace,
Labor Federation legislative agent and
4 member Of the miners" union; John
Hessler, president. and William Mitch,
secretary of the Indiana district of
the United Mine Workers, and James

is the money question bothering the
miners rather than "Qucstions of labor

"Miners up to last week were getting

declared in asking Ny. Wallace "why

responding rate for bituminous is only

The CHIEF reason for TINS is that
tie big operating anthracite railroads
and coal conpa uies represent the same

the public believe they are operating

Concerning the progress OF the
strike. Mr.. Murray said that while the
latest report Of the United States

OF $500 600 tons this included the
