AGEs.0tD SIGN IS PASSING
Pswnbreksrs Gradually Doing Away
With Emblem That Has Been
Common the World Over.

The crest Of the house Of Lombardi.
which for three centuries has topped
the entrance to every pawnshop In
Christendom. Is gradually coming
down Here in New York the nre
depaq ient has discovered that the
three golden balls, which remind you
that your watch and your overocat are
ever-present friends In need, seriously
hamper the operations Of the firNash,-
ins forces.
The department has sent out no con-
crete orders to do away with the signs,
but the pawnbrokers themselves have
come TO the conclusion that their bush
ness can be as efrectually served by
painting the three golden balls on
their display windows as by hanging
them on, In the open where every be-
deviled kid IN the neighborhood takes
shot at them with a stone.
But the three balls will all be down
inside OF year or so. Is the predic-
ton Of q pawnbroker on lower Park
row.
Your Uncle Abe" he said, doesn't
have to depend on the sign OF the
House Of Lombardi. The man or wom-
All who Is broke has learned the loca-
tion Of the pawnshops. 1t has been
found that the three balls have actual
ly impeded business. Men and women
who want to negotiate loan on their
personal effects hesitate to enter a
pawnshop which is hera;ded to the
world by the three balls.
"They want privacy. aid they are
entitled 20 the same consideration from
us as the big banking houses accord
their patrons who need financial as
sistance. We are taking down the
three balls gradually, but we are hav-
ing a monogram made on the windows
which serves the same purpose. Every
sign or symbol above the door Is an
obstacle in the way Of the fire fighters
and there is no sense In the three-baN
sign anyway."-New York Sun.

1t is generally agreed that the

against a general inquiry into the

auctions on agricultural products.
This action has likewise precipi-
tated the matter of freight rates

field. Thomas d. Campbell, Of

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from par. u

Beneath the surface of the re-
port of the President on the
wheat situation" by Eugene
Meyer, Jr., managing director.
and Frank Mondell, director, of
the War Finance Corporations,
runs a story of great political
import. Undoubtedly, their chief
contribution to the public's fund
of information on the farmers
troubles was the comment upon
extravagant local governments in
agricultural districts. Consider
ing the fact that farmers are dis
contented, the belief exists that
President Coolidge made an I'M
fortunate selection in sending
Messrs. Meyer and Mondell on
this mission. Mr.. Meyer is obvi-
ously sincere in his efforts to
serve the Government, but he is
known as a successful Wall Street
broker, a fact not calculated to
endear him to farmers. Mr..
Mondell, formerly Republican
floor leader in the House, carried
the label of lame duck" as his
appointment followed his defeat
in Wyoming Senatorial elections
last year. Stories emanating
from the wheat districts show
that sceptical wheat growers ex-
pected little or nothing from the
visitation.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-11-22

The American Government has
made it clear that it does not
intend to play the role of auditor
for the French in collecting
claims against the German
people. Ambassador Jusserand
has held two conferences with
the Secretary of State since the
return from France last week.
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes maintain their original
position for a careful inquiry
into reparations problems. The
President believes that the six
year period suggested by the
French is too short for Germany
to rehabilitate itself and pay
reparations. Thus, an impasse in
diplomatic relations and revolu-
ton in Germany.
