Iowa Farmer Union
Protests to Coolidge


Des Moines, Iowa. - (AP) = The
Iowa Farmers union made public a
resolution wired to President Cool
idge and other officials protesting
against the state conference called in
to session here under auspices of the
Iowas Bankers association for the
announced purpose of working out
plans to aid the farmers.
The resolution adopted by the I'M
ion's board of directors and council
lors declared that the corn belt COM
n ittee of various farm organizations
has "the sole authority to speak for
one million farmers of the corn belt
and charged that the bankers associa-
tion meeting was interference on the
part of on-agricultural groups"
Eve can only view this as a move
on the part of agricultural groups
and politicians to interfere with and
divert the attention of the public and
the farmers themselves, if possible,
from the real issue involved, which is
the cost of production of farm prod
ucts, said the resolution, which was
addressed to Iowa's United States
senator's, the congressional delegation,
Governor Hammel and William Jar
dine, secretary of agriculture.

Pass Fnty-SeUenth Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Holderness OF

party last evening on the occasion OF
their 57th wedding anniversary. Four
of their children were present, with
their families, enjoying a pleasant

Mr.. and Mrs Holderness were mar

I guess we've all found, as we've
travelled around, that promise is easy
to make. We make up our mind that
we'll do things, but find that they elso
are easy to break.
A friend asks you this, or a friend
asks you that. It's favor that's easy
to do. You promise, "Why, sure!" But
your memory's poor, and the promise
goes slipping by you.
The easy way out is to promise, no
doubt, and just forget all about it.
This gets you in dutch, and your
words not worth much, since .he best
folk can do is to doubt it.

DOCTORS UNDER
LIQUOR PROBE
Physicians from MiIwau-
kee, Racine, KenOsha,
Ordered to Court.
TO REVOKE PERMITS

Federal investigation of promiscu-
Gus distribution of liquor permits by
Wisconsin physicians has resulted in
evidence which may result in revoca-
1ion of permits to thirty physicians
in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha, it
was learned today from the office of
Robert Sterling, prohibition director
for eastern Wisconsin. Included in
this number are several physicians
from Kenosha, the names of whom are
being withheld by the federal officials
in Milwaukee, until after their hearing.
A total of 1890 physicians are under
fire in the investigation into their
prescription book accounts and rec
ords. Of these thirty are located
''within radius of fifty miles south
and west of Milwaukee," Sterling de-
clared, and when he was asked by a
reporter for the Evening News if any
of these included physicians from Ke-
nosha, Sterling merely answered, "That
is very likely"
First Hearings On July IL.
The first of the physicians cited
in federal court will be called to show
cause why their government liquor
permits should not be revoked. The
hearings will begin on July IL and
will continue through that week until
the thirty hearings of professional
men in this section of the state are
completed.
No criminal action is being con-
templated against any of these men
ut the present time, Sterling declared,
unless the hearings should show any
conspiracy between druggists and
physicians in the selling or transfer
ring of prescriptions. If the hearings
should divulge indications of this ma
ture federal action will follow at once,
he said.
Each of the 1870 doctors is at pres
ent allowed 100 prescriptions every
three months, and if all of their per-
mits are revoked it will mean that
$4,000 pints of whisky less than were
prescribed in 1925 to patients will be
sold.
Sterling declared that most of these
permits, which would be revoked are
being held by retired and non-practic-
ing physicians and hospital interns.

Science Enhanced by Three
Discoveries During
Year Just Closing.
SOLVE OLD CALENDAR

New York City. - (AP) - The
achievements of science j. 1925 are
increased by three discoveries an
nounced as the year is on its last
week.
At Princeton University, DR.. w. B
Scott, paleontologist and geologist,
claims to have settled a question that
has divided scientists since 1891 by
proving that the "JaVa man." found
50 years ago, is true link in the
chain of mans evolution from the
lowest forms of life. Massachusetts
Institute of Technology announces
that one of its professors has discev-
serum a protein food which can be
used as food as substitute for the
white of egg and also provide cheap
waterproofng and adhesive material
Harvard announces the solution, of
the ancient mystery of the Magyar
calendar. 1t has been found that the
central American Indians of the sixth
century before Christ were excellent
astronomers and calculated time by
the movements of The planet Venus.
Java Skull Link. ea
One of the discoveries at least was
developed from the slightest of clues
DR.. Eugene Du Bots, a Dutch army
surgeon, found part Of skull, ia thigh
bone and two teeth on the banks of
the Begwan river in Java in 1891.
A plaster cast of the skull was
sent to Princeton recently.
DR.. Scott says of "a examination
indicates to Princeton scientists be-
yond doubt that pithecanthrophus
was distinctly human of very low
grade"
Boston's new food product is the
result of an experiment by DR.. j.
w, NJ. Bunker, in the biological lab
oratory of the institution of technol-
ogy.
The solution of the Magyar calendar,
which has amazed scientists for years
is the elimination of long work.
DR.. Herbert j. Spinden of Harvard
discovered the secret of Magyar time
count, based on the appearances OF
Venus as the morning and evening
star.

London Gables Accuse u.
S. of Retaliating for
Gouge on Rubber.
U. S. MILLERS DENY

Chicago, III. - (AP) - Economic
laws and not retaliatory measures are
responsible for an increase in the
price of flour in England, American
millers have replied to English sug-
gestions that wheat merchants of this
country are seeking revenge for Brit
aims rubber monopoly.
The present wheat price increase
has It's immediate cause in the wheat
shortage in Argentina, said John Cros-
by. president of the Washburn-C ros-
by mills at Minneapolis. 1t was ex-
planned that the effect was world
wide and not confined to England,
which was surprised by an unexpected
rise of two shillings in the price of a
2So-pound sack of -four.
Supporting me contention that the
increase was not confined to Eng
land alone was the fact thaG the best
market advanced Is cents a barrel
yesterday, being quoted at $3.50 a
barrel in 98-pound sacks, for carload
lots.
Cables from London said that the
-four increase had aroused consider
able adverse comment because of the
fact that the government statistics in
dicated a world surplus of wheat, and
the subject would be inquired into
by the master bakers protective So
ciety.
Retaliation Is Charged.
A member of this organization was
quoted as saying that American
wheat merchants, knowing that Brit
ish dealers have the whip-hand in
rubber, are retaliating in wheat"
But while American millers dis
claimed any intention at retaliation
for the rubber situation, one indi-
vidual effort in that direction was
noted in the days news. Senator
William E. Hennessy of Boston intro
duced a bill in the Massachusetts, SEN
ate seeking "reprisal" against Great
Britain for artificial hardship" i'm
posed through increased rubber
prices.
Senator Hennessy not only charged
that $760,000,000 excess rubber pro-
fits were being taken from this coun-
try by the British rubber monopoly,
but that news stories. indicated Brit
ish interests were planning to support
a similar Brazilian coffee monopoly"
Declaring that the British shave in
reality declared trade war against
the United States and have invited re-
prisals," the bill would seek informa-
ton on the operation of British in
surance concerns in Massachusetts, as
a prelude to reprisal action.

BILLION MERGER

CHASE NATIONAL ONE

New York City - (AP) = What
may become the country's largest
bank, an institution rivaling, the gil
gantic finacial institutions of London,
began to take vague shape today out
of the multitude of rumors in Wall
street pointing to the merger of sew
eral existing banks and trust COM
panies of New York City.
Given impetus by $50 rise in the
stock of the Mechanics and Metals
bank, the report runs that a. CONSOLE
dation of that institution with the
Chase National bank is imminent as
a preliminary step in the building of
large financial structure. John Nc
Hugh, president of the Mechanics and
Metals, admits that negotiations look
ing towards amalgamation have been
begun.
Five other institutions are mem
toned as being involved in the bank
ing venture, which; tits said, Clarence
Dillon, of Dillon, Read and Company,
is sponsoring. Their total resources
when and if combined-would be in
excess of $1,30O,O0O,00O.
Four Others Named.
The other institutions mentioned
are: The Chatham and Phenix, the Ma
tionaI Park, the Chemical National
and the Central Union Trust company.
1t is believed that the banks will
first be paired and then after period
of readjustment further combined. Ris-
ing costs of banking transactions and a
stoppage of needless competition are
said to be the chief motives behind the
movement.
The proposed bank would excel in
size the national city, now the coun-
try's largest, with total resources of

/ stripe of light paint along the
cracks.
BY painting the Dashboard of a
room the same color as the floor the
size of the room is apparently in.
creased, and the general effect is
harmonious. Take the example of
the brown painted floor with its
border stenci1ed in orange. Carry
ing the brown up on the Dashboard,
against walls painted delicate gray
or light cream, the effect is altogeth-
er charming. A rug of silver-grey
and orange, or of the softer shades
of blue and orange, goes well on
such floor. And several small rugs
are better than one large one, when
the floor has the stenciled border.
Plain rugs usually look better than
figured ones, unless the furniture is
extremely plain.
Chief among the advantages OF
painted floors is the fact that they
permit an elaboration of the color
scheme of the room.

Hiker Here On Way
from Nome to Florida
Gilbert Moran, rs, Stops in Kenosha
Today on Foot Trip to the
Sunny Southland.

From severest cold to Americas
sunniest cline, is the objective of Gill
bert Moran, %, who reached Kenosha
this morning on hike which started
in Nome, Alaska, and will end in
Miami, Florida, if he has good luck.
Moran, CARRIED as lumberjack,
reached Kenosha at 8:15 a. m. While
here he got his credentials signed to
show that he visited this city. The
same function is performed in each
town he visits. His stop was brief,
as he was eager to be on his way.
He said he has been on the way II
months since leaving Nome. Most Of
the time he sleeps out of doors, in
barns, sheds and strawstacks. He gave
information that he had traversed the
entire United States from east to
west in the past three years.
Moran says he took to hiking for
his health. He stated he enlisted with
Canadian troops at the age of IA DUR
ing the World War, was gassed in the
trenches and afterward contracted tu-
but an outdoor life would save him.
Then began his rowing on foot. All
of this hiking is done on wagers, and
by the terms Of the agreement he
must not ask for ride, but may ac-
cept one if it is proffered him.
Moran says he was born in Superior,
Wis, and when a boy resided for a
time in Ashland. He states he en-
listed in the Canadian army at Winni-
peg. 1t is his intention to use team
of Is dogs and sled for some dis
tance after he leaves Chicago. The
dogs, he stated, were being shipped
from Nome.
