His acting was a delight present. Sherlock Holmes lived in the flesh for the time,

Wheeler Plan Referred

Meanwhile, q resolution for d cCn- cral senate investigation of prohibit tion conditions rested in the judi Ciary committee to which it was re terrcd yesterday after its introduce tion by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, who voted dry in his home state a few years ago.
 The prospects for committee ac- ton arc indefinite. but Wheeler says he intends to get behind the meas ure and demand consideration at an carly time. However. if the commit tee makes a favorable report, it is highly improbable that the senate will take up the measure until after the tariff bill is out of the way.
 The Wheeler measure proposes that the judiciary committee inquire into 'thc activities of the bureau Of prohibition in the department of the treasury and all matters in any wise pertaining to tho enforcement Of the prohibition laws of the United States and to report to the senate as soon as practicable the results of it's in vcstigation together with it's rccom- mcndations, if any, for necessary lp c-iSla flor" "

British Financier Says.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 21.-Sir Charles
Adds, British financier, visions the
world gripped in q disastrous BUSH
ness war unless nations reach an ade-
quate trade understanding.
Such war. Sir Charles said, would
be fought with tariffs, credits and trade
orders.
In analysing the international unem-
ployment situation and trade depres-
sion, the British banker said there are
100000 unemployed in Great Britain,
Germany and the United States, while
at the same time enormous stores Of
foodstuffs and textiles have piled UP
unpurchased.
A market cannot be found for this
surplus, he said, because Of interna-
tiorial trade Misunderstanding
When nations compete in the same
markets with the same goods" Sir
Charles said, "the situation IL fraught
with friction and discard"

under the pillow and emphasized the fact that NIL
lions Of acres now are being farmed from which there
can be no hope Of o profit. "yet, they assist In the
creation Of . surplus problem"
To diminish this problem secy. Hyde says one re-
~quirement Is the increased use Of economic informa-
ton by individual farmers and he asserted that much
can be done by planning farm operations in the light
OF market prospects.
This is q hint that the farmers should band to-
gether and regulate acreage before crops are plant
ed. 1t is likewise a hint that the cooperative spirit
should spread like wildfire in the rural districts and
that the farmers should develop their brains, en-
rich their minds with useful information and keep
their hands busy.
Secy. Hyde is a very able lawyer. He Is the owner
of many farms. He Is a very successful banker. He
never did put all his eggs in one basket. He never
grew a cotton crop under southern skies or a wheat
crop under western skies, but he considers himself
a high authority on scientific Earnings as well as
scientific marketing.
