Kansan Offers Marriage to
Young Woman Traded Off

a COW and a heifer calf, Jessie
Thorington, twenty-three, and her

land authorities are asked to write
for information concerning mis-

Cortland officials are puzzled as
to what disposition to make of the
marriage offer from the Kansas

BY International News Service.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. H.
Watch out for great upheaval in

DIR. Arthur Sonnenberg, former
health commissioner of the city oil
Kiel, in that country. now visiting
here.
Conditions recently have devel.
oped to a point where conflict Is in.
evitable,' DIR. Sonnenberg said.
Bavaria is in the hands of the
monarchists, Thuringia is controlled
by Communists, Saxony by radical
Socialists and Prussia by plurality
Socialists. Out of these opposing
elements trouble is bound to come.
THE safety police are power
less to control the demonstrations
of the factions. The Socialists pos.
sess arms and carry ON military
training in defiance of the Republi-
can government.
THE depreciation of the mark
has wrought inestimable damage tC
the morale of the country. The only
thing that soiidifies sentiment OF
the nation at large is resentment
against the French invasion of the
Ruhr and the executions and i'm
prisonment of Germans resulting
| from that.
Personally, l look for a restora

The crown prince, however. might

The dog enthusiast became in

money and declared he must
have the canine that had so in
trigued his fancy. Finally, see
ing Pavlova was not to be per-
suaded by gold, he said:
"Weli, if you won't part with
the dog l will take you, too. III
marry you right now, but l
must have the dog"

By T. 7. Maxey
THE KING OF STORES

One department store in Chicago oc-
cupies an exclusive building having a
floor area of about forty-four acres.
The space occupied by this building
extends from ~forty-three feet below
the street level to more than two hum
dred feet above the surface of the sur
rounding streets.
America holds many astounding ex-
amples of business enterprise, but this
store Is an enviable illustration of the
great and valuable institutions that
can be built up by concentrated and
continuous painstaking effort to antici-
pate requirements and approximate
perfection.
Accompanying a guide through this
establishment you will hear a spiel
something like this: THE main aisle
of this store Is three-hundred and
more than 1900 men, women, boys and
girls are required to perform the serv-
Ice of maintaining the operation of
this great retail establishment. Dur
ing special sale periods and the holt
day season as many as 1880 names
have been on the payroll at one time,
About $50 motor trucks and delivery
vehicles are In daily operation haul
ing new stocks Of goods from the rail-
way stations, steamship docks and
warehouses and delivering the pur-
chases to the myriads of customers in
the nearby territory. One Of the larg-
est s~witchboards ever constructed for
a single institution Is employed to
transact the telephone business of this
store with its customers. The average
number of calls handled per day is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. In extra
busy times the number Of calls has ex-
ceeded $4,000 In a single day.
THE basement floor contains more
than 10000 square feet OF space and
Is the largest single-ffoor store on
earth. For the purpose of speeding up
the movement Of patrons, employees,
packages and freight within this store
elevators are in service. These ele-
vators carry an average Of about 5000
passengers an hour and run 1000
miles a day-0r the distance from Chi
cagO to New York. The entire seventh
floor Is divided into large rooms devoted

CITY OF HOMER AND CR0ESUS
Unfortunate Smyrna Credited With
Being the Birthplace of TWO
Great Men of History.

Smyrna, recently captured by the
Turks, is both old and famous. 1t Is
the purported birthplace Of Croesus
and claims to be the birthplace of
Homer. 1t was a city long before the
days of Alexander the Great, who re-
built 1t where 1t now stands, as he
saw its strategic position as an ex-
IRENE western port for eastern mar
kets. In % A. d. Rome selected
Smyrna from among many rivals for
site of the great temple to be dedf-
Gated to the emperor.
This ancient city figures prominent
ly in connection with early church his
tory, observes the Detroit News. 1t
is but 80 miles from Ephesus, where
the ruins of that city with its famous
temple are still to be seen. Smyrna
itself Is supposed to have been for
some time the home of the apostle st.
John, whose disciple, Polycarp, after
ward head Of the Smyrna church, was
burned at the stake about 155 A. d.
His tomb Is still the outstanding sight
OF the city and Is on the crest of the
hill near the place of his martyrdom.
Almost within sight of Polycarp's
tomb, to the south, lies the Isle of
Patmos, to which st. John was BAN
ished, and where the Book of Reve-
lation is supposed to have been
written.
