with his Lord three years ago the 2Sti
day of June.
Three years has passed since that sac
day
When one we loved was called away
God took him nome, it was His will
Within our hearts he liveth still.
Rest on dear husband and father thy
labor is DER;
Thy willing hands will toll no more
A faithful husband and father botf
true and kind
A truer one could never find,
For all of us he did his best.
God grants him now Eternal rest.
Sadly missed by
Mrs. Swan Leaf and children.

In loving memory of husband and
father who passed away 9 years ago
today June Goth.
When his listless hands were folded
Across his pulseless breast,
We knew the gates were opened
And he was at rest.
Somewhere on the unseen shore
He watches, beckons and waits for us
When over the river, the peaceful
river,
The angel of death shall carry us.

25,OO,O)D ARE HIT
BY LIVING COSTS
Chinese Find Acute Problem.
Famine AIWays-Present
SpeCter.
az the Associated press


CHUNGKING, China, December 10.
The high cost of living has become
an acute problem in the life of 25,000,-
600 or more persons in the west half
OF Szechuen, China's largest province.
The present poverty stricken con-
dition Of the territory is attributed to
taxes, poor crops, banditry and the
silver slump. There are SO many
taxes that farmers have little left after
paying them.
Famine Is Specter.
In many sections of the surround
ing country peasants are confronted
with possibilities of famine
The rice crop in Szechuen was less
than 80 per cent normal, although it
was better than usual in most provinces
Of China.
To forestall actual starvation as long
as possible, soup kitchens have been
opened in many towns and villages
and they are kept more or less in
constant use.
Beggar Count Trebled. =
The beggar population has managed
weather and a man with a prosperous
appearance has no business on the
streets unless he has enough copper
coins to pass out among the crying,
sometimes screaming mendicants who
follow him.
Foreign trade, like the crops and the
tax-ridden farmers has been hard hit.
Business has fallen of heavily in the
past six months and this once
prosperous Yangtse River port has al
most become a deserted city.
Taxes Hit All Activities.
This particular phase of the de-
preston Is attributed more to high
taxes than the low price of silver!s
There are taxes for unloading cargo.
taxes for moving goods from the dock
TO the merchants shelves, a dozen
different kinds of military taxes, an
even greater number of civic taxes. 4
BY the time box of freight reaches
its destination. II consigned to this city.
1t bears no less than AZ different tax
stamps.
Communism presents another prob

condition, the peasants are turning to
Communists to show them q way out.

CAPPER FOOD INQUIRY
PLAN WILL BE TAKEN UP
Senate District Committee Will
Meet Wednesday to Consid-
.&3n er Proposal.

The Capper resolution proposing an
Investigation into food prices in Wa1h-
ington and the bill recommended by
the Attorney General to amend the
condemnation law win be taken up at
q meeting of the Senate District Com
mittee called for 2:30 o'clock Wednss-
day afternoon.
The committee had expected to take
UP the proposed food inquiry ct its
last meeting, but the time was taken
UP on the reduced car fare bill for
school children.
Congress enacted new law last year
TO speed UP the public buildings and
other projects by enabling the Federal
Government to obtain immediate pos
session Of property to be acquired by
paying the estimated fair value In ad-
vance Of condemnation proceeding. Any
additional amount found by the jury
is paid at the conclusion of the pro-
cesdings. The Attorney General has
recommended an amendment to make
this new law supply to proceedings that
were underway before the passage of
the new law.
