David B. Rodman, Bev-
erly's Political Leader,
Appointed Postmaster.
Will Take Office Over
Next Week.
Ofice Holder Endorsed By City And
Many County Officials.

David B. Rodman. who was APP
pointed Postmaster by President
Coolidge on recommendation of Con-
gresham Isaac Bacharach was con-
firuned in the U. S. Senate last
Thursday and will receive his COM
mission from Postmaster General
New in few days.
Postmaster Rodman has been the
political leader in this city since his
discharge from the U. S. Army, and
has won for himself the name of a
politician, which very seldom befalls
on such young man. Rodman
started in the political game by en-
tering the race for County Commit
teeman in 1919, and has been elected
every year since, defeating his OPP
ponents by large majoritys. It has
been said by the County leaders that
Rodman was the only Committeeman
who was able to carry his candidate
every year in his city, which made
him very popular in the eyes of the
politicians.
Mr.. Rodman had been requested to
run for County Clerk last year and
Freebooter, both times, he declined.
Mr.. Rodman will no doubt make
Beverly an efficient postmaster, he
having held several responsible posi-
tions with the U. S. Government, He
was connected with the U. S. Ship
ping Board and the U. S. Internal
Revenue Service, both terms resign
ing to better himself.
The newly appointed postmaster
should be proud, having presented
the best petition ever submitted,
which had the endorsement of the
entire County Committee, the Mayor,
Common Council, over one hundred
signers, together with the State
Committeeman William H. Reeves,
Congressman Isaac Bacharach and
U. S. Senator Walter E. Edge.
Postmaster Rodman is past COM
nander of the w. A. Cortright, Jr.
Post. 115, American Legion, he being
one of the charter members, who
also has held county and state offices
as well as National delegate for four
consecutive years, covering Cleve-
land, Kansas City, New Orleans and
San Francisco. Mr.. Rodman is a
member of several lodges, clubs and
fraternities.

CRIME is THE GREATEST
PROBLEM OF THE DAY

"What is the great problem of the
day."
One metropolitan paper recently
published series of interviews in
answer to this question and most of
the people interviewed said: at is
the crime problem"
During the past month several
books have appeared dealing with
the same subiect,--one by the famous
criminal lawyer. Clarence barrow.
And from the volume of discussion
and the amount of newspaper space
devoted to crime, a stranger to this
country might reasonably come to
the conclusion that our society Is
divided up into two classes--one
seeking to get through lie by means
of crime and the other in spite Of it.
Probably the menace of the crirni-
nal is being somewhat exaggerated.
People are not all insane or vicious.
But figures are alarming. Lawless
is increasing along with the advance
of our much wanted civilization.
While we are going forward in
most ways we are slipping back
ward in others.
But to solve the problems is the
rub. Some authors assert that the
fault lies in the incompetence of pu-
lie prosecutors. The man in trouble
will spend all he possesses to retain
an able attorney to keep him out of
prison; The public on the other
hand i'll offer only a paltry salary to
the attorneys 1t elects to look after
its interests.
Alienists. psychiatrists, and fad
dists who are chiefly interested in
abnormal human minds talk much
about complexes and fantasies. But
if the prosection were always con-
Quoted by as able an attorney as the
consul for the defense--if justice and
punishment were swift and sure-there
would be fewer sensational murder
trials less in the papers about gang
sters and hi-jackers and greater SAT
tn Tor the general public.

PARIS FINALLY
 ADMITS WOMEN
 OHAVE WAISTS

PARIS, Nov. 19 P)-The girl of last summer, the sprightly slip of boy ish shapelessness, has disappeared Paris has banished her, admitting aft CT several seasons of denial that wo- men have waists.
 Midseason models designed for Palm Beach and southern European wear and the forerunners of the modes for next spring and summer place the waist line very near normal. The belt not only has returned but is worn further up than it has been for many years.
 Proud owners of 22 inch waists, however, need not yet begin to pinch them in, for although belts are back and nearly back where Eve and mo- distes placed them, they are not yet pulled in. They are simply there; as loose as the dress itself, more as a decoration than for utility.
 Fullness, moreover, does does spring from the waist line in between sea- son modes, but from point just be- low the hips.

PRODUCTION OF WOOD PULP IS
 NO? INJURIOUS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 19 [P). Presses of the country may continue to grind out editions of daily papers at the present rate without imperiling the forests of the country for num- Der of years.
 Stabilized conditions in the dumber industry throughout the country have balanced production of wood pulp with resultant lowering of cost and assurance of operation upon con- tinuously productive basis" the com merce department announced today.
 While the ultimate shortage" is still viewed with considerable appre- hension by foresters, it was stated, the ruin of the spruce forests of New England and Canada has been cur tailed by relief from the Pacific North west and the South where the pulp industry has thrived in the past five years.
 The United States consumer annu- ally approximates $9O,OOO,OOO worth of it's timber in production of wood pulp, the substance which is convert ed into news print.
 Relief in Sight
 For many years the newspapers have drawn upon the spruce, fir and hemlock forests of the Northwest for their supply of paper but in recent years it has been apparent that at the rate it has been going there would soon be shortage. The effect of the change has been toward con-

Fifty seven thousand dollars was the sum paid recently for a crop of potatoes. on the Yakima Indian reser. vation. The crop was grown on 12O acres of irrigated land. The buyer not only paid s57,OOO for the yield but dug the potatoes himself. The grower got the S57,OOO net for his work in planting and cultivating including the cost of seed.

MISTAKEN HUMILITY

Paderewski has refused to appear in recital at Washington, D. C., and the reason given for his refusal re- veals that one of the great musicians of the world is subject to prejudice "a prejudice that one might think would be found only in the least in- telligent of mortals. Paderewski will not play in Washington because he does not wish to appear as a hired entertainer" before the high govern. ment official who were his colleagues when he was premier of Poland. It is strange Quirk of thinking that puts a Paderewski upon the level of a hired entertainer or beneath the level of those whose greatness is official.
 The master musician seems to see Paderewski the pianist as a creature fallen from the high estate of Pader- ewski the Polish premier Most of us would rank these positions in the opposite order.
 As a matter of fact there is many hired entertainer who ranks higher in the scale of intrinsic human values than the members of the audience he entertanis. A jazzy contortionist is perhaps lower, whatever the opinion he has of himself or his art. A real artist is nobody's inferior, nor does he lower himself by what we call en- tertaining. If Paderewski is an en- tertainer, so is Rachmaninoff, so is Kreisler, so were Caruso and Conrad and Anatole France and Mark Twain.
 Paderewski the diplomat was the equal of the big men he did business with in Washington, but Paderewski the pianist is a figure towering above them to be remembered long after his former colleagues are but forgot ten names on archives covered with dust
 Sometimes the artist is all too con- scious of his eminence, but Paderew- skis humility seems far more unreas enable than an overweening pride.

Gradually, according to the com- merce department, the Eastern mar kets have received increasing quan- titles of common lumber from the Pacific coast shipped through the Panama canal.
 In the lake states like Wisconsin, it was added, change has taken place in the hemlock forests, competi- tion with Douglas fir from the Pacific coast having shifted the market so that much of this hemlock timber has been diverted to the pulp mills.
 The situation offers relief like Wis. consin from the dependence upo1f Canada for it's timber consigned for approximately one fourth of the pulp and one sixth of the pulpwood used in this country is imported from Canada.

While there has been an increase. in the wood products imported for the, paper mills of the country there has, also been steady increase in the. past five years in the production of, pulp as we'll as in the consumption of pulpwood in the Pacific coast states, Southern states and the Lake states.
