President Harding and John T. Adams. cha

President Harding and John T. Adams, chair
man of the republican national committee, have
perfected plans for greater participation by
men in party affairs. For years there has been
close cooperation between prominent republi-
can women and the party leaders, and in recent
campaigns womens organizations have been of
material assistance in winning republican votes.
The new plan is to appoint woman from eacf
state to act in an associate or advisory capacity
with the national committee.

An alleged editor Of free press writes about
two classes-White Collar and Overalls, and
throws mud at the w. c. class. In a free country
why not allow both classes to live without pref
udice? The w. c. man of today may be in the O.
class tomorrow, and vice versa. Probably neither
is to blame for the class he is in This is a big

profit taking on the part OF pro

stocks for a turn a week or lO DAYS

sorptive power of the market.
Offerings generally, were we'll ab-
sorbed. the extreme losses of l to :
points being substantially reduced
in the closing dealings when fair
sized rally was staged under the
leadership of the Independence steer
and Leather shares. The so-called
pivotal stocks, U. S. Steel, Baldwin,
Studebaker American Wooden and

Of point or less.
Another cut of cents barrel in
the price of Gulf Coast Crude Oil

Washington, Aug. 17.-Heatiry The
home this winter will cost the aver
age family throughout the United
States approximately eighty-one per-
cent more than in 1913 if lae coal
bin is filled at the present summer
prices. This is the result OF an in
vestigation covering prices of coal
and other fuels just complaied by
the United States Department OF
Labor.
For those families which wait until
cold weather to buy fuel. the sca-
sons heating bill will be higher, it
is indicated. Pricee of coal and all
other fuels are increasing and Will
continue to rise during the next SIX
months.
Seasonal fluctuations in fuel prices
are not now so violent as in Other
years. Since 1920 the variation re-
tween summer and winter prices
has been comparatively slight.
The highest fuel prices in history
occurred in the winter of 1920 when
heating cost the average family
ninety-five percent more than IN
1918. In the winter of 1919. fuel
prices averaged 81 percent above the
prewar level.
