SUPREME COURT OVER-RULES JUDCE CLARK'S DECISION VALIDITY OF AMENDMENT Is UPHELD BY UNANIMOUS
 DECISION

WASHINGTON, Feb, 25, R- Judge Clark of New Jersey, who last fall rendered a decision that the 18th anendent was unconsti- tutional, which decision was over ruled yesterday by the Supreme court, contended that the amend ment should have been submit ted to State conventions for rat ificatiOn rather than to State legislatures.
 The Supreme court ruled that that view was untenable and that the government had argued that question and had already disposed Of it by the Supreme court.
 Attorneys against argued the amendment was invalid claiming the amendments granted new power to the federal government over the people, therefor must be submitted direct to the people. Chief Justice Hughes withdrew from the case and had no part, because he had filed brief In a previous prohibition case which he contended disqualified him.
 The decision was delivered by Justice Roberts before a crowded court room
 He said Congress had been granted complete jurisdiction to decide the mode of ratification and had the right to refer the amendment to legislatures.
 Judge Roberts said that the at- torneys upholding Judge Clark's ! decision said the amendment took power from the people which no other did say, and in the opinion of the courth, the 18th 14th and 18th did the same. He said that in the national prohibition cases in 1920 the court proclaimed the validity Of the amendment and that it now reiterated its position and that it's decision is unanimous.

DEMPSEY GIVES
UP HIS ESTELLE

Reno, Sept. 21.- Jack Dempsey
was granted a divorce today from
Estelle Taylor Dempsey on the
ground of mental cruelty.
The decree was entered by de-
fault when his actress wife failed
to bring a cross complaint or con-
test the case.
Although Dempsey's was the
10th on the docket of Judge Moran
the preceding complaints were
heard in short order and the form
er champions decree was entered
at 11:57 o'clock.
Miss Taylor did not answer the
Dempsey complaint but with the
latter's property located in Cali
fornia and her own divorce suit
pending in Los Angeles courts, il
appeared that Jacks hand was not
to be raised in unqualified victory
Dempsey's divorce gave him
title TO his personal property but
his real estate lies in California
and his 100000 share of stock in
the Barbara hotel corporation to.
gether with a 100000 trust funC
are tide up by court orders.

RUSSIA PLANS
MASS FEEDING

Moscow, Sept. 19.-Mass feeding
of Russia's workers on a muck
wider scale is arranged for In q
decree issued today by the central
executive committee of the COM
munist party.
Present facilities for this work
are inadequate, the decree said, al
though they care for approximate
" twelve million workers and their
families, who are fed collectively
at factory kitchens, public dining
halls and feeding stations for
children.
Meals are served in these estab-
Iishments at nominal prices rang
ing from 10 cents to 40 cents. The
recent drive to attract more wO-
men from their own kitchens to
industry has taxed the capacity of
the social feeding" facilities, eS-
pecially in large cities.
About $14, 10000 is to be spent
for the construction and equipment
of 800 new factory kitchens and
1000 dining halls within the next
three years, under the terms of
today's decree. These will feed 25,-
900, 900 PRISONS.
A group of 500 party men will
be modified to supervise the work.
Foodstuffs will be improved, diets
varied and more efficient methods
introduced. The cooperative soci-
cites in charge of distribution of
food stuffs have been greatly ham
dicapped lately not only by the
shortage of facilities but by the
poor quality of food, insanitary
conditions, overcrowding, poor dis
cipline among employees and inn
properly trained cooks.
Another decree issued today sets
up special funds in all branches of
industry to reward workers and
plants making exceptional contri-
buttons to the advancement of the
five-year plan.
Although the government and
the party have regularly made
such awards, this is the first time
the policy has taken the form of
an official decree.

Brought back from his

by the Prince of Wales, Prime
Minister Macdonald hastily con-
vened a cabinet meeting last night

redemption act of 1925 should be

drawals of gold by foreign invest
ors.
Parliament is expected to pass

al.
The bank rate was raised from

sued a statement calling attention
to the fact that more than one
billion dollars had been withdrawn
from the London market since the
middle of July and that about $780,
100000 had been withdrawn in
Saturdays half day of trading. He
emphasized that his action was
only temporary and that the ma
TONS enormous resources would
save the day if the public cooper
ated.
ellis majesty's government has
arrived at its decision with the
greatest reluctance he said "but
during the last 10 days the inter
national financial markets have
become demoralized and have beer
iquidating their sterling assets
regardless of their intrinsic worth
In the circumstances there was nc
alternative but to protect the Il
nancial position of tbs country by
the only means at our disposal"

.LATEFEED
DEVELOPMENTS
By the County Agent

According TO word received at
the county agents office on Sep
TENDER % indications are that the
Federal Feed Loan which has been
expected to be released in the
drouth area is further from a re-
atty at the present time than it
was two weeks ago. Since the
regulations were first drafted by
the department of agriculture they
have been the subject of much
controversy among the different
states in which it was to be ad-
ministered.
The Feed Loan regulations as
they stood on September Fl are as
follows.
The regulations reduced the
number of head of cattle from 40
to 20 head at SO month; six hors-
es at So a month; 200 sheep at 80
cents per month for a six-months
limit, notes to be due in the fall of
1882. 1t has been reported that
Washington and Oregon protested
vigorously these regulations due
to the fact that they farm entire
! ly with horses, and a loan on six
head would not be sufficient to
carry them through the winter.
The second hitch in the PROPOSE
ton comes from the mortgage re-
quirements. AS per the regula-
tons requirement on Sept. q the
government agreed to accept g
waiver of prior mortgage in
which the party holding the mort
gage or lien would participate
proportionately with the govern
ment and in that way it would bc
unnecessary for the party holding
the first mortgage to waiver com
plete right in favor of the gov
eminent. Some of the authoritie'
in the states in which the loan
was to be administered contend
that this would make the loan un
workable as parties holding tn,
first mortgage are not in a posi-
ton to sign waivers under an!
condition. They are endeavorinI
TO have the government take
second mortgage on the livestocl
to the extent of the federal loan.
Up to date these details hav
not been settled and indication
are that the regulations govern
ing the government feed loan vii
not be settled for a few days.
The secretary of agriculture
calling for information from tn
states in regard to the number @
livestock mortgages in each cour
ty, the attitude of tn ebankers
regard to signing waivers, etc.,
\ order that the regulations may b
S worked out satisfactorily. Ind
: cations are that the feed loa
d blanks will not be received unit
y some time after October 1.
