Senator Capper hopes to have this
report ready by Thursday, when he
will call the joint committee together,

Building Program Feature,
The outstanding features of the
report will be a ten-year building
program to meet the needs of the
schools here, and provision for an
Independent school board. having
complete control of the schools, in
cluding their finances.
Tne committee feels that it should
make a report at this time even
though the Congress is about to end.
II Will have no standing in the next
congress, and, in fact, will die with
the present Congress. 1t has conduct.

ing ABOUT a year and the members

collected should be made available for

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, February 20.
-Terrorizing the inhabitants Of
the little town of Easton. which
lies half way between Mason City
and Havana. and cutting them off
from appeals for help by severing
all telephone wires, a gang Of rob-
bers. leisurely looted the Furrier
State Bank at Easton last night.
and escaped after firing a fusillade
of shots as a farewell.
This morning the little bank Is
a partial wreck. The bandits, the
Inhabitants say. fired six charges
of explosive. One shot blew the
bank safe through the brick wall
and landed 1t in the restaurant
next door. About $1,000 in cash
was obtained.
All telephone wires were cut.
and Easton cut off. not only from
all local communication, but also
from use of its long-distance
wires.
The Inhabitants dared not ven-
ture from their homes. One woman
whose window faces the bank
watched them operate. Those who
attempted to leave their houses
went scurrying back at the sight
OF the watchers the robbers had
placed about the bank.
When the robbers in the bank
were ready to go they called the
watchers in by firing three shots.
They left in two automobiles.

HERAID'S REPUBLICAN,
UNDER FIRE

Reading Editor Matson's editorial
last week on the sugar" subject,
it appears that no matter how long
standing certain papers have been
Republican in politics, the Ohio
State Journal for example, if they
dare now to insinuate that the pres
ent robber tariff has made the price
of sugar higher he at once would
class them as bitterly partisan
Democratic' If Matson is going to
proceed to so classify all Republican
papers that speak the truth in this
matter, he is going to be buster than
a one handed painter with the itch, i,
painting a church steeple In fact
it would appear that according to his
own standard, the only simon pure
Republican paper in the country now
is the National Republican. Indeed,
even the Herald's Republicanism
would be under fire, to apply the
editors own test, since it has refused
to state whether or not the present
robber tariff has raised the price of
sugar.

We have been patiently waiting
for the village council to give Post
mistress Rosa Birch authority to
keep the outside door open of even

ly is this so at this season of the

open longer than they have been, we

mediation to leave them open an

German Prices Are
Kept AT High Levels
tBy nitcd PresO

Berlin, March 2S.-Germany for
some time advertised by passing
tourists as the country where
everybody could buy everything
cheaply--has now reached an end
and i'm some cases passed the
world price level for practically
all goods. whether edible or other
wise.
In many instances German pric-
es are even high q than prices in
France, England. North ana

something unheard of before in
Germany
All along the line prices have
reached and often. surpassed those
paid in the rest of the world,
The German merchants put their
prices up when the mark hit
$4,000 to the dollar, basing their
computations on goods said to
have been bought at that rate.
Later when the dollar dropped
back to $4,000 and less. the pric-
eS remained high and in fact
many increased daily, in spite of
the drop in the value of foreign
money. Any further advance in
the value of the dollar will in no
way reduce prices in foreign
money. merchants and others now
having boosted their prices to the
world level, keep them there by
daily increases - regardless of
whether the mark goes Up or
down.
Clothing is an excellent example
of this change. An ordinary white
collar of much inferior grade and
durability is worth thirty cents
more than the best product IN
the United States.
