LOW WHEAT PRICE
HITS BUSINESS

Sedalia, Mo, Aug. 28.-Low wheat
prices are already depressing Ameri-
can business, George C. Jewett, gen
eraI manager Of the American Wheat
Growers Association, Inc, asserted in
an address here today before the an
rual convention of the Missouri Farm
ers' association.
''The business revival of last year
is running up against the brick wall
formed by the inability Of the Amer
lean farmer to purchase the things he
actually needs" Mr. Jewett declared.
American business might as well
have the facts straight" he continued.
There are ten or twelve agricultural
states wherein wheat is the crop of
major Importance from one standpoint
of purchasing powers. So long as
wheat prices are low, farmers will not
be able to buy, and wheat prices to
day are from 80 to so cents a bushel
below cost of production.
There is only one way in which
wheat prices can be brought to leg
itimate basis, and that is the estab-
lishment of a domestic American mar
ket, Independent of world prices"

WILL TEST STATUTE
ON REDEMPTION OF
TAX SALEPROPERTY
SHERIDAN COUNTY CASE, AT
TACKING VALIDITY OF LAW,
GOES TO HIGH COURT.

Helena, Aug. 27.-DeterminatiOn of
the constitutionality of an act of the
Eighteenth legislative assembly relat-
ing to the redemption of property
from tax sale has been put up to the
supreme court in an appeal case from
Sheridan County.
Early in May an affidavit in support
of an application for a writ of man
damus WIS filed in the district court
by Arthur e. Erickson, county at
tOrney of Sheridan county, against
D. J. Olson, as treasurer of that cOun-
ty, in which Erickson set out that the
county treasurer is required by Sec
ton 2175, Revised Codes, to add 10
per cent penalty on delinquent taxes,
and by Section 2221, Revised Codes,
to collect interest on delinquent taxes
at the rate of one per cent per omnth.
He further sets out that the Elgh-
teenth legislative assembly enacted
Chapter 63, which was the enactment
of house bill 335 introduced by Troy,
of Hill county, under which owners
of real estate are permitted to redeem
property sold to the county for delin-
quent taxes, by payment of the orig
1Ilell GctA BANto oCfCAA ~ ~NAiS AAASOA 80
from date of sale. -
The county attorney charged that
chapter SO is unconstitutional because
it contravenes section 80, article of
the state constitution, and further
charged it to be unconstitutional be-
cause it denies to citizens and tax
payers equal protection of the laws
He asked for a writ of mandate re-
straining the county treasurer from
carrying out the provisions of Chap
ter GO, and requiring him to observe
and abide by the provisions of section
2,175 and 2, 221 of the Revised Codes.
Upon this application an alternative
writ was issued by Judge c. E. Conner,
returnable May 10 at PlentywOOd. At
the time fixed for the eharing Judge
c. D. Borton, presiding, sustained the
motion of the respondent to quash the
alternative writ whereupon the relat-
or took an appeal to the supreme
court

LOW WAGES CAUSE
INFANT MORTALITY

hington.-Poverty, employment
of mothers outside the home, and
housing below the proper standard
are three of the principal causes of
infant mortality, according to the
children's bureau, Department Of La
Dor, which has concluded an investi-
cation into infant mortality in Balti-
more.
"New evidence is afforded by the
Baltimore study that poverty is an
important factor in infant mortality"
the bureau announces. eliminating
differences in color and nationality,
and considering only the babies born
to native white mothers, the facts
showed that infant mortality rose as
the fathers wages fell. In the poor
est families studied about one baby in
six died within the year; in the most
prosperous families about one baby in
twenty-siX died within the year.
employment of the mother away
from home during pregnancy (Which
was chiefly in factory work. was ac-
companied by a high percentage of
premature births and high infant NOR
tally, especially from the causes pc
culiar to early infancy. Employment
of mothers away from the home dur
ing the first year Of their babies lives
also markedly increased the hazard to
the baby. Room congestion and lack
of sanitary equipment in the house
were accompanied by death rates
above the average"
Low mortality rates, approximately
those in New Zealand, which has the
lowest in the world, were found among
the babies of foreign-born Jewish
mothers and in families Of the high
est earning groups.

COOLIDGE
SOFT PEDALS
Dy MANA LII W -
Federated Press tSaff Correspondent
Bv MARX LEWIS

FSQeTaIeO TE6SS ISdn OOIIOS POiiNOAA0'
Washington. - President Coolidge
prefers not to have his administration
identified too closely with the pro-
gram which the chamber of commerce
has recommended to him, If white
house efforts to soft pedal the pro
gram are to be taken seriously.
Taken in connection with the re-
ports that Coolidge is considering the
suggestion that ne make tour OF the
middle west some time IN November,
before congress convenes, 1T appears
that the business mems program is re-
garded as an obstacle to the develop
ment Of the presidents political as
pirations in 1914.
One of the questions upon which the
committee, headed by Julius H. abr
mes, president of the chamber, submit
ted a recommendation relates to
American membership in the self
perpetuating international court. This
revives q problem which is causing
considerable difficulty within the Re
publican party, and the appeal of the
bankers and oil magnates that the u.
S. Join is nOt-likely to be considered
until the matter is thrashed out with
in the Republican organization.
Among the domestic issues the
chamber of commerce made sugges-
lions upon, are railroad transportation,
in which it pleaded for private owner
ship and operation, the ship subsidy,
in which it urged that another effort
be made to have congress supply pri-
vate owners with government funds
for the establishment of a privately
owned merchant marine, taxation, in
which the elimination of taxes that
fall most heavily on the rich be re-
pealed or reduced and the decreased
revenues obtained by a sales tax, i'm
migration, and the bonus, to which it
is opposed.
While the program is one which the
administration would ordinarily sup
port in any event, with the exception,
I possibly, of the bonus for war vet
Grams, the administration is anxious
to avoid becoming identified with pro-
posals likely to ALLEVIATE at once the
progressive states Of the middle west.
IF the president makes the TRIP to the
middle west it will be with the hope
of persuading the, rebellious voters
4 there that he is not as reactiOnary as
4 he has been pictured.

When the word reached this place
stating that DR.. W. F. Hoey was dead
it surely cast a gloom over the whole
town as we'll as the entire surround
ing community as he was a familiar
parsonage here, not only as a physi-
clan of which he was much sought,
but he was regarded and respected
here as an honorable and intelligent
man of high ideals. Kent county, yes
the State, have lost one of it's fore
most citizens and Frederick, his home
for over thirty years, will mourn the
loss of one of its best citizens, pro-
fessionally and otherwise.
The town is still in the midst of an
epidemic of grippe" and bad colds
and many of the families nearly all
the members are confined to their
homes. DR.. James Martin of Magno-
liza, the attending physician, is kept
on the move almost day and night to
meet the demands of the calls for his
services here and elsewhere in the
scope in which he operates. The meas
les that were so prevelant here a few
weeks past, but were confined among
the children, have about subsided, and
those children of school age have re-
turned to school that were afflicted by
them.
Those aged sick ones who have been
confined to their beds all the winter,
Mrs. S. Fleming and T. T. Short, are
holding on as well as could be ex-
pected. The report at this time from
John H. Galloway is that he is failing
very fast and it seems only a short
time for him, unless a great change
takes place for the better.

Mr.. John Dawkins, who, though new
err hitherto noted for his admiration
of Bill Skies, was certainly grateful
when that burglarious gentleman
put in an appearance and diverted
the attention of Fagin from his VIC

fact, the boys pieced together a
story that explained the absence of
Oliver; how he had been arrested
and how it wasn't possible for them
to save him.
Nancy Skies coming shortly after

combined responsiveness of Bill and

delicate task of presenting herself
at the police headquarters to make
inquiry concerning the whereabouts

make an exception in favor of a boy
whose weakness and fright caused
him actually to faint. But the book

The old gentleman, whose pres
