Renal Pasha, new boss of Turkey
and the Mohammedan world, tries ex-
periments almost as radical as our pro-
hibition. He will end the caliphate do
ing away with the powers OF the all
powerful religious head, supposed to
represent Mohammed, and inherit his
authority.

The ]. [. Case Company, that makes
threshing machines and other things
for farmers, skipped a dividend and the
stock dropped with an unpleasant thud
last week. Things of that sort may
cause financial "best minds" to inter
est themselves in the poor farmer.
What happens to HIM isn't so import
ant in the realm of high finance. But
what happens to STOCK is most i'm

The .Caliph, Prince Abdul Medjid
Effendh, will be driven out, and not
allowed to take the treasure of the ca
liphate with him.
That is a serious step to Mohamme-
dams as it would be to Catholics if
Mussolini were to drive out the Pope
and seize the property of the Vatican.

The harem of the Caliph is in de-
spair, and the Caliph's eunuchs have
refused food for three days. That
probably won't help the Caliph. The
question is, What effect will all this
radicalism have on Renal Pasha and
his modern wife in the knickerbockers?
And how much did Kema1's Russian
Bolshevist friends have to do with
kicking out the Caliph.?

urging the life insurance companies

declaring also that such insurance
