"Rite it with Ray"

If you thought the wife of your
best friend was not conducting her
self properly in his absence from
home, would you tell him ABOUT IL?
This momentous question came up
among a small group of fellows the
other day, it is reported. Some
thought it would be their duty to tell
their friend, while others thought it
would be to delicate a matter for
even the best friends to discuss. A
middle-aged travelling salesman end
ed the discussion by saying: eff l
should go home some time and the
whole town would meet me at the
station and tell me that my wife had
been cutting up, / would tell them
that they were all unmitigated liars
and that would fight the whole out
fit of them not more than two at
time"
What would you do, believe the
gossips or slam them one in the eye?

Intended for Victim

Chicago.-Pouring a hail of bullets
into crowd waiting for a street car
five unidentified men killed one man
and seriously wounded two women.
The dead man was believed to have
been the victim sought by the assail-
ants, the women having been acct
dentally hit by the flying bullets.
As the panic stricken spectators fled
in all directions, the gunner ran to a
waiting automobile and escaped. The
only clew to the identity Of the dead
man was a card found in his pocket
bearing the name, B. Coffard, Benton
Harbor, Michigan.
The police expressed the opinion
that the murder resulted from a ven
delta or feud in one of the city's for

The eight men caught here were
trapped by federal agents, deputy sher-

Control of Wireless Is Sought

WESTINGHOUSE of the

IAN ether cop" to regulate the wire
less chatter of the American small
boy" and other users of radio commu-
nications, Secretary Hoover stated re-
Gently, in discussing the government
plans for radio regulation.
At the request of President Harding,
Mr.. Hoover said he was calling to-
gether radio experts of the army, navy,
postoffice and commerce departments
and radio engineers to meet shortly
to work out regulations governing use
of the aid for radio communication.
Development of the radio telephone he
described as one of the most import
ant steps in the progress of communi-
cation, but the limited number of
available wave lengths, he declared
was causing congestion.
The ingenuity of the American small
boy in the use of the radio telephone
he explained, had so filled the air with
chatter that commercial and official
communication had been interfered
with while the practice Of broadcast
ing sermons, music and other matter
was hindering the more important
uses the wireless telephone.
Development of the air as a means
of communication, he asserted, was
projecting a new problem for consid-
Grafton in the light of the rights OF
persons to the use of ether similar to
property rights in land and water
ways. Legislation may be required
he added.

Rising Prices Give Better Feeling

CHICAGO.-After a weeks sharp
advance in nearly everything that
farmer and producer has to sell, the
condition of things in commercial
way has taken on new feeling, that
of confidence that the farming indus
try of the country is to work its way
back to normal conditions and the
farmer and livestock man Is soon to
be in better condition than he has
been for long time, with better pric-
es for his products than before the
war period, and produced at far less
than during the war.
Julius H. Barnes, former federal
wheat director, and ]. Ogden Armour,
packer, have recently issued state
ments to the effect that the industry
of farming that has been hard hit
is soon again to come into its own,
and individual farmers and farming
communities that did not seek to ex-
pa1d to too great an extent and who
are not too heavily involved can soon
expect to again be on a normal work
ing and producing basis.
Attention is called to the fact that
wheat advanced IL cents and corn
lllOA . ll1tll = CClllS III d WCGh . LllnC.
Among the other good signs is that of
the stabilizing of the foreign market
situation and the continued demand
at advancing prices at home for pro-
ducts, % per cent advance in wheat
prices, a 80 per cent advance in oats,
a 35 per cent advance for hogs, while
sheep and cotton have almost doubled
in price; potato prices are in advance
of the average and promise to hold
good without becoming sensational
and there is strong market for dairy
and poultry products and the fruit
crop of the country seldom has ever
been in greater demand.
'It is time to quit calling the farmer
bankrupt; it is time to quit telling
industry generally that there is no
market for farm production" said
Barnes, for the reason that there is
strong demand and the prospects for
a good home and world market were
never better and the next few years
should be a season of prosperity for
the farmer and livestock man."
