The boys are putting the finishing touches on the beet campaign today and tomorrow and within a few days we ought to receive the good wprd from Col. Gallagher that the finances have been arranged. Then the real contracts will be taken and plans made to reopen the big mill. That would be a dandy start for the year. According to information from Terre Haute, the following statement concerning the credit of an unnamed Vigo county farmer has been sent to tlie U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington: “The subject of your inquiry has a good market for his product and should be able to make payment on his seed corn as soon as he has the product bottled and barrelled.” Senator Watson has succeeded in getting his state committee set up just the way he wants it because no one wanted the jobs this year any way. but he still has something to do on his set up with the people. His copyrighted high tariff speech will not be as popular this year as when the smoke was coming from every chimney and the laboring man could get a job any place lie wanted it. Tlie truck men seem to favor injunctions as a means of preventing any changes in regulation of their business. The latest one is directed against the law which specifies tlie length and weight of trucks, which they claim is unconstitutional. Judge Ryan of Indianapolis has granted tlie temporary restraining order and the test will follow. The Community Sale held here Saturday attracted otic of the largest crowds since the sales opened and indications are that they will continue to increase during tlie next two months as they give opportunities both for buying and selling that can be had no other way. Fifteen head of fine horses, twenty-five head of cattle and fl hundred head of hogs, besides sheep, machinery, household goods, grain, prducts and other articles were disposed of rapidly and to good advantage. Unless there is assurance that ! actual tax relief can be legislated, j a special session of the legislature will be an expensive joke that will j cause a further cessation of business and res alt in nothing but headaches. If on the other hand something can be done that will help the situation, then by all means, the session should be called. Every one is hoping that the men in conference now, representing both leading political parties. . ill give this matter most serious consideration.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Dec. 00.— While an expectant Hollywood waits to sec her, Tallulah Bankhead is spending her time hiking in the hills and in dining quietly at home or with a few close friends. I have this from the lips of Tallulah herself, who gave this department the first interview she

nas granted in California. “If I lived up to advance publicity,” she says, “I would be turning cartwheels in public places. “I find, though, by the time I’ve hiked, or taken a motor ride, I’m sleepy at 9 o’clock. I’ve dined only with

a few friends. I’ve been ill, you know, and am on a six weeks’ vacation.” Southern California reminds Tallulah of Southern France. ‘Only,” she adds, “with the houses perched on the hills the way they are, I’m always afraid I’ll wake up and find it a set.” The star thinks her screen vehicles to date are open to! criticism, but says she intends to have more to say about her next story. Her chief difficulty in camera work, she reveals, is in retarding the rapid flow of .speech for which she is noted on the stage. One of the few stars she’s met is Jackie Cooper. This came about when Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., invited her over to meet “a very clever young man.” You ve heard, of course, that Tallulah has taken Billie Haines’ house for her stay in Hollywood. Let me assure you, her coming has brought a glamorous personahty to the film capital. AND PLENTY~OF THEM.

* DON’T QUOTE ME | ♦— (U.R) ♦ Washington, Jan. 4. —<U.R) —The New Year revelry was at its height, the midnight climax near at hand. A fraternity house door opened and an elderly man in evening dress entered. He was unobserved for several moments. Finally one of the gay young dancers saw a stranger was in their midst. “Ha," he exclaimed, "we have a guest!" Advancing upon the newcomer, the college boy delivered a hearty I slap upon the back and cried: “I'm Milt Dennis! And who are you?” "I'm Senator Capper," was the reply. The Kansas senator, an alumnus of Kansas State, had been on the fraternity mailing list for some time H but it was the first of its parties he had attended. He remained for two hours, apparently enjoyed himself among the pretty girls and youthful revelry, and then departed with the remark: "I'm not quite so young as I used to be." Peggy Ann and Herbert Hoover ill saw the New Year's reception held by the President and Mrs. Hoover, their grandparents, from an observation post in the doorway of the White House green room. "There’s grandpa!” Herbert Hl exclaimed when the President and Mrs. Hoover came down the stairway behind the gold-braided aides while the Marine band played Hail to the Chief. The President and Mrs. Hoover both waved to the children. So did Vice-President Curtis. One observer said he counted just six senators and less than 30 congressmen among those qualified to attend the reception. All members of the house and senate are welcome, but few apparently took the trouble.

The government may profit as much as $1,500,000 from the sale of the special George Washington bicentennial stamps just placed on sale, according to Third Assistant Postmaster General Frederic Tilson. The profit would arise from the fact tliat hundreds of stamp collectors will put higher denomination stamps on letters to get cancellation marks on them. Thus the government in many eases will get 10 cents or more for rendering the usual two-cent service.

According to Tilson, the government will print 14.000,000,004) (billion I George Washington stamps this year and a half billion stamped envelopes. o J

The report quoted the : American consul in Mukden.
