ROME. Dec. 5.-The recent sensa-
tional theft of about $4,000 worth of
jewels belonging to Mrs.. Nancibelle
Grant of New York from her luxurious
suite in the Hotel Excelsior has made
little, If any, impression on Americas
feminine "gem toters" who believe that
suitcase, the locks of which may be
picked with hairpin, is better re-
pository for money and valuables than
the most modern of safes, with the
hotel guaranteeing, safety and accept
ing the responsibility if gems and
money are stolen.
One of the managers Of the Hotel
Excelsior told me the day after the
Grant robbery that he had politely sug-
gested to fair American who not only
carries with her superb collection OF
iewelry, but negotiable express COM
pany drafts for about $4,000 that she
deposit her gems and money in the
safe overnight, only to be answered
"Well, / guess / know how to pro-
tect my property. / have been travel,
ing for more than twenty years and
have never lost nickel"
ROBBERY IMPORTANT.
The Grant robbery, according to the
list of the stolen jewelry made public
by the police, wds one of the most i'm
portant here in recent years. The de-
tectives, who are on the case still, be-
lieve that it was an "inside job" and
that the thief obtained entrance to the
Grant suite, which oyerlooks the beau
tiful palace of the queen mother, Mar
gherita, with a pass key and escaped
in a hurry by way of the imposing
stone balcony that affords entrance to
many rooms.
The police-although they seized
three perfectly respectable innocent
young Americans on board a ship
bound for Egypt and detained them
for a day-have reverted to their orig
inal theory that the theft was perpe-
trated by man perfectly familiar with
the hotel, one Of the many hawks who,

Z. Il. Cunningham, Federal

BY international News Service.

BROOKINGS, s. d., June 15.---
A frank message from the Coolidge
Administration that the American
farmer must "aet in cooperative
spirit TO put his own house back
In order" was brought to the wheat
field belt of the Middle West today
by %. III. Cunningham, of the
Federal Reserve Board, in an adj
dress to the South Dakota bankers
convention.
Personal observations would al
most lead one to believe that the
question OF cooperation az It Is
practiced at this time is a game of
heads ] win, tails you lose Cu1-
ningham declared
I'VE follow the plan, Of co-opera-
ton when 1t Is to our particular
advantage to do so, but we do
not seriously commit ourselves to
any plan that Is so truly co-opera-
tive that we are, as producers, will
ing to accept both profit and loss
as they come in the average course
Of business and be satisfied with
the general average returns for
ALL"
Adequate financing Of the farmer
at reasonably low interest rates
can best be secured through co.
operative organizations, according
to Cunning ham.
Something Wrong
Cunningham said that the farmer
is rapidly coming to the point
where he realizes that there Is
something radically wrong I'm his
methods and that his individualisnl
will have to be submerged into
other customs that will work more
favorabIy toward his success.
The legislation was described as
questionable in value, although ulti-
mately helpful.
II insist that all the legislation
in existence cannot Of Itself Great

Legislation by itself means moth
ing unless accompanied by good
business practice, intelligent pro-
duction and sound financing
The farmer, in many instances.
according to Cunningham, is the
man who must assume the blame
for the present. time inefficient
methods of marketing.
Changes Too Fast.
Cunningham asserted that there
comes time in the economies OF
