WalIerstein said IT intend to sue"
do you intend to swear out a
warrant against Senator Caraway,"
he was asked.
THAT is entirely up to my at

whatever action he deems necessary
and proper"
It was learned today that Precinct
Detective Wilson, of the First police
precinct. had been assigned to inves-
tigate the fight which took place
yesterday near the Shoreham Hotel.
Wilson, it is said, interviewed Wal
lerstein today.
WallersteM did not report for
work today. He slept late, nursing
o swollen right eye and badly
bruised wrist. Later he went down.
town and conferred with his lawyer
and American Legion officials.
The story Of the fight yesterday,
IN which the Senator is alleged to
have pounded Wallerstein over the
head with an umbrella, was retold
today by Byron r. Patton, close
friend ~ WallarcfoiT Uhn HyaS on
eye witness.
Senator Caraway tells one story,
Wallerstein another. Both stories
are widely different.
Friend Tells Story.
"I rode downtown on the car
with Wallerstein yesterday and saw
the entire affair." Patton said. LAS
we neared the Veterans Bureau
the car swung around a corner.
Wallerstein, standing near me, but
not holding to a strap, fell over onto
the lap Of man sitting near
him.
HE very politely apologized and
] thought the matter ended there.
Instead the man, whom we later
found was Senator Caraway, turned
to Wallerstein and in a gruff voice
demanded to know his name. Wal
1erstein. did not tell him, but apollo
gized again, saying that it. was no
fault Of his that he fell over on him.
Then the man called out to him: i
want your name, because I'm going
20 fix you I couldn't understand
what the man was talking about.
There were a few words exchanged
and the car stopped.

to his aid.

However, didn't have time to
help my friend, for the fight was
over when reached them. 1 saw
the Senator pound Wallerstein over
the face with his umbrella, saw
him knock my friend to the ground
and proceed to beat him.
Wallerstein narrowly escaped
being seriously hurt only by call

 Creation of these reserves is the first piece of constructive legisla- ton the government has been able to put through.
 'In putting through this legislation, somebody had to be hurt. If it had been in individual cases when small operators had been wronged it should have certainly been rectified, but the idea of reservations should not be nullified in any readjustment"

THE COUNTRY BANKER

Sometimes a fellow wonders if the
world appreciates the country banker.
Further reflection leads to the con-
clusion that it probably does not. No
man who renders a real service to mis-
fellow men is estimated at his full
worth
The big city banker may be a f.
nancier, but the country banker is a
friend. He is the big brother to the
business man, the farmer, the wage
Garner. He generally does pretty well
financially, but the service he renders
is far and away beyond the pay he
gets.
Did you ever stop to think just what
it means to be a banker? You may be
running a store-you think you have
a good many complications to handle,
but your banker has to know the ms
and outs of your business and he has
often to use better judgment than you
are capable of in telling you how 10
run your business. And you farmer,
running burrows and needing credit
to keep the farm business going from
one season to another-you often get
better ideas from your banker than
you can think up yourself. The bank

dozen lines.
Most of us think that banker is a
hide bound conservative-tha he is
forever vetoing the progress which
other people would like to make, that
he turns a cold shoulder to meritor-
ious propositions because he is a mis-
erly skinfiint. He is nothing of the
sort. If we only knew the number of
times he has to inject ginger into his
borrowers, how he has to pump them
full of hope and courage and conf
dence-then we would sing different
song.
In a business way the bank leads
the community. If your bankers should
chance to be dull and close-fisted and
timid you can't expect much of the
town. But they are not often that
way. They keep the wheels of indus
try turning, they keep business hum
ming, houses multiplying and the peo-
pie prosperous and contended.
And what an unselfish lot they are.
What clean, outstanding, clearly ethi-
cal men. How many chances they
have to take a selfish advantage, and
how rare it is that banker succumbs
to temptation. He is the protector of
the widow and the orphan the family
advisor in matters financial, the wise
counselor and the staunch friend

LAY OF THE HORSE

H. R. Elliott, in the American For
estry, has this to say about the won
derful horse and we are with him
every jump in the road:
20 horse, you are wonderful thing;
no buttons to push, no horn to honk;
you start yourself, no clutch to slip;
no spark to miss, no gears to strip;
no license buying every year, with
plates to screw on front and rear; no
gas bills climbing up each day, steal
ing the joy Of life away; no speed
cops chugging in your rear, yelling
summons in your ear. Your inner
tubes are all o: K, and, thank the
Lord they stay that way; your spark
plugs never miss and fuss, your mo-
tor never makes us cuss. Your frame
is good for many mile; your body
never changes style. Your wants are
few and easy met; you've something
or the auto yet"

Autumn

Now,-when the time of fruit and
grain is come,
When apples hang above the orchard
wall,
And, from a tangle by the woodside
stream,
A scent of wild-grapes fills the racy
air.
Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt
caravan,
Like a long Gypsy train with trap
pings gay
And tattered colors of the Orient,
Making slow-footed through dreamy
hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her coming,
wear
Tints of Bokhara and of Samarcand;
The naples glow with their Pompeian
red
The hickories with burnt Etruscan
gold;
And, while the crickets fife along her
march,
Behind her banners burns the crimson
BLISS CARMAN.
