SENATOR GOT START WASHING DRUG BOTTLES Lone Republican Solon From New Mexico Had Hard Time in Early Life. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—An orphaned boy of eleven years bent over a tub filled with bottles in a Denver drug store. There were holes in his shirt, patches in his worn knickerbockers. His shoes wore the worse from wear. ’But he whistled cheerily as he washed bottles, his hands red from frequent immersion in scalding water and yellow Boap He had a job. Although his parents were dead he was sure of a bite to eat and a place, however hard, to rest his tired little body when night intervened between him and his toil. Today the boy, grown to manhood, is a member of the United States Senate, after long years of hard work and bitter struggle. His name is Holm O. Bursum. As the one Republican Senator from New Mexico, Bttrsum was returned to the Senate recently by a majority sufficiently Jarge to be hailed as a Republican victory at the end of a closelycontested campaign in which the policies of the Harding Administration were made the issue. HIS FIRST APPOINTMENT. Bursum’s first entry into the Senate was when he was Appointed by Governor Meehem of New Mexico, as the successor of Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall on March 11. Strangely enough. Bursum and Fall were political enemies and Fall opposed Bursum's selection to fill his unexpired term when he entered the President’s Cabinet. Bursum’s appointment was construed by his friends, however, as a fitting reward for his activity in New Mexico politics for a quarter of a century. His success in the recent special election which returned him to the Senate for a full term of six years was regarded by them as additional proof of his popularity with the people of his State; for, recognized as an unswerving believer in “partv regularity” and-a consistent supporter of the Harding Administration, he was accused by the “Progressives” of his own party of being “reactionary” and “Old Guard.” Bursum is a big. broad-shouldered, deep-chested, powerfully-built man. His hands are large gnarled ones, accustomed in youth to manual labor. Ilis face, with its square jaws, is that of the born fighter. But withal he is good matured -a hail fellow well met.” SENATOR A SELF-MADE MAN. The Senator has been aptly described as an example of the American self-made man who has come up under his own power over rough heads and mounting obstacles. He was born at Ft. Dodge, lowa, on Feb. 10, 1807. His parents were Norwegians. They settled in lowa shortly after the Civil War. His father, a school teacher, died when he was but 2 years old. His mother died when he was 11 years old. It was then.that the orphaned boy found a job in a Denver drug store. From washing bottles there lie turned later became a railroad construction tables. In the English Kitchen, once a famous purveyor of food in that city, he found employment. After toiling all day and into the night he snatched an education from his spare moments. At the age of 14 he found his way to New Mexico from Denver* to work in a store at Carthage, Socorro County, owned by an uncle. He was able to attend a public school at San Antonio when he was not working. HE HANDLED FREIGHT. When he reached manhood Bursum landed a freight-handling contract at the military post of I’t. Wingate. Ho worked four six-m le outfits between the’ post end the nearest railroad. He later became a railroad consrtuction foreman, and from this occupation he entered the sheep business in whieh he has been engaged ever since, and in which he is said lo have amassed a fortune. Bursum married in 1898 and has three daughters, two of whom are students at I,eland Stanford University, Cal., and a son. Holm O. Bursum, Jr., 14 years old. Since his election as Sheriff of Socorro County, in 1804. Bursum has made rapid strides in New Mexico politics. He was a member of the Territorial Legislature in 1898. warden f the State Prison from 1800 to 1006 and in 1004 was chosen Republican State chairman. In 1911 he became his party's choice for Governor. He was defeated by a coalition of Demo-. crats and Republicans. Asa delegate to the Republican national convention in 1008 he secured the Adoption of a plank pledging Statehood for New Mexico and Arizona, after a bitter contest, In which he formed a combination of delegates from all th territories, including Porto Rico and Hawaii. He was again defeated as a candidate for Governor in 1016, but kept plunging deeper into New Mexico politics and, despite the factional strife so often rending the Republican ranks in that State, finally became the Republican national committeeman and then a full pledged Republican Senator.
BRITISH TROOPS LEAVE DUBLIN Crowds Cheer at Preparations for Departure. DUBLIN, Jan. 11. —The evacuation of Dublin by the British military forces got into full swing today while the new provisional government of President Ar- i thur Griffith began to function. Other cities to be evacuated are Cork, Limerick, Fermoy, Ilanden, Waterford and Ballyncolling. English soldiers began leaving the Dublin barracks and it was reported they would be taken on board a troop ship tonight or tomorrow. Officials at Dublin Castle have begun to ship the archives to London. Huge cases of documents, bearing for the most puart on military activities against the Sinn Fein in the past, were carted from the castle under military escort. They were taken on ship board for removal to English soil. Crowds gathered and cheered as the ! signs of ‘'English” rule began to disappear. President Griffith has summoned the southern parliament to meet Saturday to affirm Dail Eireann’s ratification of the Irish treaty. LONDON, .Tan. 11. —The British committee on Irish affairs, headed by Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill, decided this afternoon to hold up the question of a general amnesty in Ireland pending a conference with a committee from Dail Eireann. It had been reported earlier in the day that general amnesty had been agreed upon and that the Irish prisoners probably would be released tonight, including many under death sentence. BELFAST, Jan. 11.—A workman and his wife were killed by snipers today while bidding eaeh other farewell ou the doorstep of their home. The amn had just embraced his wife. There was much firiug in the streets throughout the night.

Uncle Sam to Use X-Ray in Profit Investigation Attorney-General Daughertif Orders Probe to Fix Price Blame,
WASHINGTON, J? I'.—The Government's chief invesri. ing agencies were merged today in a * named effort to drive down excessive retail prices. At the suggestion of Attorney General Daugherty, the probe will be extended to all classes of business in an attempt to fix responsibility for wide differences between wholesale and retail prices in various parts of rhe country. Supplementing the search for profiteers in food, clothing, fuel, shoes and other household necessities, the Attorney General has directed that the Government widen its probe to include middle men and others suspected of maintaining high prices. Tbe Department of Justice, cooperating with the Department of Labor, today sought information from agencies in all parts of the United States that may
CITRUS CROP GREATER THAN GOLD VALUES California Shipped 46,757 Cars of Fruits in 1020. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 11—Value of the California citrus crop in 1020 was approximately four and one-half times greater than the production f gold for the same period, according to a report by G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Exchange prepared for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. In the year ended August 31, 1020, Cal ifornia shipped 38 077 cars of oranges and grapefruit and 8,680 carloads of lemons, a total of 46,757 cars of citrus fruits. The 10,500 nembers of the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange shipped 12,141.964 boxes of oranges: 226.226 boxes of grapefruit and 3.452,334 boxes of lem-
Will your "Qood Morning’ . last all day l
Easy to start from the breakfast table with zest and enthusiasm, but how easy is it to keep on? Does ambition last, or leg, as the day develops? The afternoon “slump” is a factor to be counted upon, in business or social life. Usually, there’s a reason. Nerves whipped by tea or coffee won’t keep on running, and they won’t stand constant whipping. Many a man or woman who has wished the afternoon would be as bright as the morning has simply been wishing that the nerves wouldn’t have to pay the natural penalty for being whipped with the caffeine drag. Postum gives a breakfast I cup of comfort and cheer, without any penalties afterward. There’s no “letting I down” from Postum—no

show that manufacturers and middlemen are openly violating tlie law, in order to keep prices at or near war levels on numerous articles. Retail price charts nnd other data, compiled by Government agents working under direction of William J Burns, convinced the Attorney General only the surface has been scratched and the probe must go deeper if those chiefly to blame are forced into the open. Tlie Attorney will consolidate much of the information to be gathered with other information on fll relating to alleged profiteering among the building material manufacturers. \ He does not seek merely to strike at : petty profiteering, but is eager to get the i “big fellows” heading the business i cliques.
nns, a total of 15,823.764 bores, or 34. 461. carloads. The exchange shipments represented 73 7 tor cent of the total shipped front California. The returns for the fruit shipped through the exchange, f. o. b. cars, California, approximated $59,221,329 for the 1919 20 citrus crop. Based on the exchange figures, return to California foi the total crop was approximately $81,200,000, representing a delivered value in the wholesale markets of $106,600,000. including $25,400.00 of freight and refrig eration charges. The retailer paid np proxiniateiv 8121.100.000 and the consumer nearly $166,000,000. For 1921 the figures will tie larger, returns to Oct. 51 showing growers received $83,557,344 for the 1921 citrus crop, crop. It Is estimated there are 113.821 bearing acres of oranges In California and 47, 758 acres of trees that wfll within a f-w years start producing. There are 35.059 bearing acres of b-moris and 17,405 nonbearing a'-res coming into production. j The total acreage planted to citrus trees in California today Is 212,153. Os this amount, 161,579 acres are oranges arid 50.554 lemons—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

There’s full satisfaction in Postum—a cup of comfort for anybody (the children included), any time. You can get Postum from ycnir grocer or your waiter today, and probably you’ll begin to have better tomorrows, as so many thousands have had, who have made the change from coffee to Postum. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in ths cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.

U. S. SEEKS WAY TO HALT WASTE IN WOOD DECAY Undertakes Chemical Study of Timber Affected By Lungi. So great are the losses caused by the infection of wood nnd pulp that the Government has undertaken investigations for the purpose of checking them. Messrs. Mark W. Bray and Joseph A. Staidl of the Forest Products Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture at Madison. Wis., tell of their researches of the subject in the current number of the Journal 6( Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. “A knowledge of the chemical composition of wood and the pulp,” they write, “linked with a study of the changes in composition after Infection with specific organisms of molds and wood destroyers is of considerable importance. It throws further light on the astonishing losses sustained through the decaying of ■ wood and pulp nnd in the pulping and : conversion into paper of such infected ■ wood and pulp.” The conclusions from the chemical standpoint whieh may be drawn from this work arp (hat In all eases the infeet;ed woods produce less palp per unit ; weight of wood than the sound woods. |GOOD AND RAD WOODS COMPARED. The inferiority of the infected woods | as compared with sound woods are: | 1. The cold and hot water soluble maj terials increase during decay and are j a direct loss to the mills. 2. Higher alkali soluble materials are found, showing a lower resistance to the | action of chemical reagents. This would I be very noticeable in a soda or sulfate I mill, because more alkali than would be ! necessary for sound wood would be rej quired to accomplish the same result. \ 3 There is an Increase in copper numI her showing (hat Infected wood contains i a greater amount of reducing compounds 4 In most cases of extreme decay, the rate of degradation of lignin nnd cello- { lose is selective and not uniform. 5 Lower percentage of A. or stable j cellulose, higher percentage of B, or less j stable cellulose, \ The large ]oss"s sustained in convert- ! ling Infected woods Into pulps, together! wi s h the additional losses of further con* i verting these pulps (made front Infected woods which undergo further decomposition when stored) Into paper, have been pointed out. DFCATFD MAKES FAULTY PULP. N The paper made from decayed woods and pulps 1s dlrtv. brash, and has verr little strength.
