THE REFEREE

Il think we will have continued
prosperity well into the summer OF
the coming year," says George f.
Baker, New York banker. Big bust
ness men and financiers consider
him an able prophet.
His statement does not imply
chat business depression may be on
the calendar after the middle OF
1924. 1t merely means that he's
playing safe. No one can predict
business conditions, with any de-
sree of accuracy, more than nine
months ahead.
BUSINESS
Used to be a red letter day when
The railroads of our country moved
a million cars of freight a week,
But up to the 10th of November
there had been 81 such weeks this
year.
The railroads, so far in 1925
aave moved 437 cars of freight for
every 81 cars in the correspond.
ing period of last year.

So the clerks are working harder

now being urged to raise their own

question that is being asked

One egg circle sold n 1922 be-

of poultry products. These are
figures not to be 'grir1ed at" in

Since we are advocating poultry
only as a side-line for the aver

given by a nall beginner who IN

President Arises Early

ON BOARD U. S. S. HENDERSON
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING,
July 2e.-(By The Associated Press)
President Harding arose earlier
thar usual this morning looking for
ward to this epochal day in the
Canadian city of Vancouver, B. c..
Not alone has the chief executive
dreamed of a visit to Alaska, a
dream now realized-but he has
looked forward to the time when he
would be able TO stand on Canadian
soil, something which has been done
by no American President.
Mr.. Harding has ever had a deep
admiration for the Canadian people,
and members of the party with
which he toured Alaska and came
south on the Navy Transport Hend-
erson said that he was filled with
pleasure today at being about to
greet the Canadians in their own
country and further cement the
friendship-more than a century old
which has existed between the
people of Canada and the people of
the United States.
The Henderson early today had
completed her long voyage down the
inside passage from Sitka, Alaska
and was proceeding into waters adj
jacent to Vancouver Harbor.

CSIPO PAYS $3.50 FOR
BRINGING IN DIAMONDS

Upon information received from
New York today, it has been learned
that Louis Cspio, a private banker at
AIT State street, has settled with the
treasury department Of the United
States Government for diamonds
which he brought into this country
upon his return from Europe on
June 5.
According to officials connected
with the government, Csipo brought
the diamonds which are valued at
$1,450, to this country upon his re-
turn from Europe on the Olympic
in June. Through information
obtained by the customs department,
Special Agent Cosmo Ranalli of New
York and John Regain, deputy col
lector of customs located in this
city, visited Csipo's place here where
Csipo admitted that he had the dia-
monds, consisting of a stick pin and
ring, which he had not declared.
The matter was taken UP with the
treasury department with the re-
suit that a compromise was reached
whereby Csipo paid the government
$1,450 the value of the diamonds,
plus the duty of $1160 making a
total of $3.50.

At Tho Crescent

william Merrill Mccormick plavs
the title role in "a Son of the Des-
ert' the new sheik picture which
comes to the Crescent theatre TO-
DAY. Not only that, but he wrote
the story and directed it as we'll
and all because of his travels in the
desert and his familiarity with that
vast and mysterious area.
He determined to produce a trua
story OF the desert instead of a nc-
utional one, and resolved to employ
his knowledge to picture desert life
as he had found it rather than as
someone had written it.
With this in view he carefully
went about his task, first writing a
story founded on facts which had
come under his observation abroad
and providing fol, himself the part
of a sheik he had actually known in
Arabia sheik who would stop at
nothing to gain his ends, but who
kenw how to accept defeat like a
man.
1t is an interesting story, concern
Ing an American girl who admires
a sheik as the subject of a possible
painting and who imprudently visits
his desert encampment in order to
see him. What happens there pro-
vides an extraordinary succession
Of thrilling incidents, every one of
which is founded on fact.
