THE HAYS FREE PRESS THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1921. CLIPPINGS Eighty-four postmasters were nom inated by President Harding, each of whom, except in cases where the veteran preference statute operates, had attained the highest mark in competitive civil service examina tions. Italy notified Washington it "com pletely agrees" with the Hughes note contending for American rights i9 Jap and other mandate territories. a Proposed legislation exempting American ships from the payment of Manama canal tolls is f!t;n UP a big ruction in congress, which ue naned by President Hardin who prefers to arrive at the same Ina tnuS a understanding with The creation of a department of education and an immigration board is provided for in bills proposed by oenaior sterling of South Dakota Amendment of the emergency tar- in Dia to meet the danger of heavy imports of German dyestuffs is im perative, Senator Knox tells senate finance committee.

A large percentage of those unable to obtain work are in the industrial centers of the eastern and central states, included in these nineteen states from which unemployed fig ures could be obtained, but reports from the other twenty-nine states where figures were unobtainable all fhow that unemployment exists, and estimates of the number average from 3.000)000. to 3,000,000 persons are out of woj4c. Reports of much unemployment show up from Xew York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, while prac tically every state east of the Mis sissipp and north of the Mason and Dixon line is seriously affected by the wave that has swept over the country during the last year. The Teports indicate that the situation in these more densely populaed states s growing more acute every day. Not an encouraging situation. It is a problem that must be solved. The necessity of readjustment is impera tive. The government is alive to the situaton, and is watching every opportunity to stop strikes through mediation before they begin. Some notable successes have been achieved. Two Months of Harding President Harding has surrounded himself by a cabinet that is already being recognized as strong, harmon ious and useful. In dealing with labor problems both Secretary Davis and Secretary Hoover take a hand. They go about their work intelligently and sympathetically, ready to deal justly. During his two months as Presi dent, it is said of the President "He has every agency of the gov ernment at work to solve the per plexing domestic problems, especial ly those relating to the railroads and agriculture. "He lias convened congress in pxtraordinarv session' and eot it started on his program for reorgan izing the government on a business Itsis and revising the tarff and tax ation systems- "He has ushered in a new era of hope and good feeling, which radiat ing from the open gates of the "White House, has reached to every section of the country." Government of Mexico has ordered the return of $10,000,000 worth of property along the United States border to owners who were compelled to flee on account of revolutionary disturbances in recent years. Some of the land belongs to American citi zens. Another portion of it was owned by a colony of Mormons. One Editor in Heaven "There is one editor in heaven How he got there is not positively known, but is conjectured he passed himself off for a minister and dropped in unexpectedly. When the dodge was discovered they searched the realms of felicity all their length and breadth for a lawyer to draw up the necessary papers for ejection but they couldn't find one, so of course, the editor holds the fort. Nearlv a Billion for Roads The budget for road-building this year among the several states totals Q'-o 000,000.' New York plans to ! "i much as $35,000,000; Ohio, $33,000,000; $30,000,000; Michigan, -00 000, rnd New Jersey, $10,000,000. er mfnt has design, for a $2,000,000 outlay upon roads and the expendi tures of little Rhode Island will be about as much. With these huge appropriations, nearly 3,000 miles of the best modern roads could be built. Eut of course the construction will, upon the average, be far less expensive. Probably the total of new work will be 7,000 or 8,000 miles, a vast extension of the nego tiable highways of the country and one that will not merely cheapen the transportation of com modities .and increase the value, of property now depressed, but alsc open new territory for the utilization of pleasure automobiles which will mean new territory for the sale of cars. i Taxed on His Wife's Salary When women were granted suf frage a San Francisco citizen to show his smartness, began paying his wife a salary of $1,500 a year for keeping house instead of giving her an allow ance. Now he is stunned to find out he must pay an income tax of $60 on hi3 wife's salary and he expects still more trouble when he fires her. Every Man Has a "Gift" Every man, says Edison, can do something better than he can do any thing else. Many men, however, never find the job they are best fitted for. This is because they do not think enough. Women are said to be queer. The family cat, which was away two nights, came home, with a split ear, a banged-up leg and sore eye, and the woman took him in, fed, coddled and arnicaed him so that in a couple of days he was fairly comfortable. Sup pose the man. of the house, after stay ing out two nights, had returned home like that Tom cat, what do you suppose would have happened to him? Four $100 revenue stamps were re quired on the deed which was given by C. C. Patton, of Strong City, to Lester B. Urschel, of Marion county, when the transfer for the sale of the Patton ranch north of Strang City comprising almost 10,000 acres of land was consumated. This is 'doubtless the largest sum in revenue stamps ever paid on a trans fer of land in Chase county. A total of 164 descriptions cover the land as described in the deed and the work of recording the same was a- long task. The .consideration given in the deed for the land is $400,000, or at the rate of about $40 per acre. Lester B. Urschel is owner of a large ranch southeast of Florence in Marion county On which are several dozen big oil wells. About a year ago the first well on his land was brought in. Meats Should be Labeled There is little doubt that the "Truth in Fabrics" law would be of great benefit to both producers of wool and the buying public, but The Stockman beliesev that another pub licity law would be of just as great benefit to both producer and consum er one which is surely needed to force the retail meat dealer to display this time. That is a law which would in his shop, cards or labels truthfully adertivsing each grade of meat. Honswoggling the consumer into paying a prime price for canner or near canner beef has become a na tional pastime with the butchers. And it is a pastime which has cost the pro ducers dearly in decreased beef con sumption. Kansas Stockman. Preventing and Removing Mildew from Leather Goods Any leather article is almost cer tain to mildew if kept in a warm, damp, dark place, such as a closet, cellar, or stable. This mildew prob ably will not seriously reduce the serviceability of the leather, unless allowed to remain on it too long. It may, however, change the color ap preciably, thus injuring the appear ance. The simplest way to prevent mil dewing, says the United States De partment of Agriculture, is to keep the leather in a well-ventilated, dry, well-lighted place, preferably one ex posed to the sunlight. Mildew can not make much headway in the sun shine. When mildew develops, it should be washed off with soap and warm water, or simply wiped off with a moits cloth, drying the leather well afterwards. These simple measures are better than the use of prepara tions to prevent the growth of mil dew. Kansas Stockman. OFFICIAL DIRECTORY National, State and County 1921 President. Warren G. Hardiftff.
