Berlin Crowds Fox Trot Into 1919; Bolshevism Is Scared Away with Confetti (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Jan. 2. Berlin tangoed her way out of the Old Year, fox trotted Into 1919 and scared away Bolshevism with confetti. It was the first dancing indulged in here since the outbreak of the war and the revellers made the most of it. In the down town section of th3 city the crowds approximated those of peace times and police reports show them to have ben well behaved. The only disturbances were caused by a demonstration by unskilled waiters, who atempted to force a general walkout. Six hundred of them paraded the streets of the inner city, carrying placards demanding fixed wages and the abolition of tips. They succeeded in getting enough recruits to close down some of the popular cafes. Hotel patrons, except those visiting the wine rooms, were not inconvenienced. A general strike of waiters is expected this afternon. City Statistics Deaths and Funeral. Carrol The funeral of John E. Carrol will take place Saturday morning at 9 o'clock from St Mary's church.

INTEREST SHOWN IN OPENING OF COUNTY CORN SHOW

By Win. R. Sanborn. The Wayne County Corn Show is one of our great annual institutions. It is a show of continuous and ever increasing human interest, because it means so much to us all. Cettainly you have been seeing corn all your life. Why not? This is the greatest corn country on the planet and the primal home of that wonderful cereal which has so largely become the bread and meat of the world. More than this, corn largely provides, in these days of conservation of sugar, the "sweetening" at the family table, and is the very soul of the candy in a million shops; and what about breakfast foods, dainty corn starch puddings, etc? The more you think about it, and the deeper you delve into the merits and the importance of this great cereal the more do you realize that, outside of the tropics, this is largely a corn fed world. It is, too, directly or indirectly. And if we happen to grow eloquent over these upstanding walls of corn in Autumn days, let us not forget: "That short and simple animal of the poor, the pig." The pig is also a great institution, and when blended in the proper proportions with corn, before and after taking, well, say! The pig at three hundred pounds, however, is no longer the "simple animal of the poor." He is worth a king's ransom in this brand new 1919, and a carload of his kind is worth right now more than all the jeweled septres and iron crosses of the late lamented Central Empires to the people of those countries. Over Four Hundred Dollars In Premiums. The third annual Wayne County Corn Show opened at the Jones and Williams Implement House on South Sixth and A streets, Thursday morning, with more than one hundred ana fifty exhibits of corn, and also a large assortment of canned fruits and vegetables and preserves. The premium list covers four special classes as follows. 1. For men in five acre corn contest. 2. For men not enrolled in five acre corn contest. 3. For boys between the ages of 10 and 18. 4. For canning club girls. The Premiums include one $70 cultivator as the sweepstake prize, and five boys and two girls will be given free trips to Purdue Universtiy during the farmers' Ehort course, January 13 to 19. A complete list of the awards will be printed in the Palladium at the close of the show. To accommodate late arrivals .the entry list was kept " open until 12 o'clock today and the following made one or more entries In the corn contest The ladies who entered exhibits in the household economic class will be listed in our story of the corn show on Friday. ' List of Exhibitors. Frank Kuhler, Hugh Williams, TOBACCO FAMINE SEEN IN RUSSIA (By Associated Press) WITH AMERICAN FORCES ON THE DWINA, Jan. 2. A tobacco famine has become so pronounced in the territory along the Dwina and Vaga rivers, where Russo-Allied troops are operating in northern Russia, that the peasants are willing to exchange almost anything they have for small quantities of tobacco or cigaretts. The correspondent went ashore from a flat-bottomed old paddle wheeled steamer with a packet of ten very bad cigaretts and secured in exchange twelve eggs, a half bushel of potatoes and ten pounds of cheese. The Russian peasant has been an inveterate smoker for nearly a century. During the past six months, the tobacco growing country in the south has been cut off from the north by battle lines and the supply was soon exhausted. The peasants have been smoking tea leaves, tree leaves and dried moss. Each boat that comes up the river and stops at the village is besieged by peasants asking for cigaretts or "nee Minoska Tabak," meaning a little tobacco. Money is virtually worthless in transactions with the peasants, ten cigaretts going much further than a hundred rubles in the purchase of produce. '4. -

Old Rector's Restaurant Goes Out of Business (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 2. The Cafe Royale, formerly Rector's, one of the most famous restaurants in the middle west, went out of business with the coming of the new year. Although the name of the famous old restaurant was changed several years ago those who patronized it still called it Rector's. The place was established in 18S4 by Charles E. Rector, who died three years ago. Game and sea foods were its specialties. For many years the cafe was said to have been very profitable, but Rector left an estate of only $8,000. He built the Hotel Rector in new York, and also a large office building here. Delmar Johnson, Stewart in the restaurant for more than a quarter of a century, told an Incident today of Mr. Rector's aversion to the patronage of persons with whom he traded. "A wine agent from whom Mr. Rector bought large quantities of supplies, thought he would show his appreciation," Stewart Johnson said. "He came to the restaurant one night with a large party of friends. They became boisterous. Mr. Rector sent for the agent and politely asked him to leave. The agent was insulted.

U. S. NOW FACES TASK OF GETTING ON PEACE BASIS

War Agencies and Bureaus Dissolved With End of 1918 War Workers Quit, (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Facing the new year the problems of which wl)l be largely those of reconstruction, the nation today set Itself firmly to the task of getting back to a peace basisDissolution of several war agenciea and bureaus marked the opening of 1919 in governmental affairs. Other boards and committees, created for the war period, will continue In operation temporarily but with activities more or less limited. Two of the most important war bureaus discontinued last midnight were the War Industries board and -the Capital Issues committee. Activities of each considered necessary during the period of readjustment win be conducted through agencies existing prior to the war. Work of the war industries board In part has been taken over by the departments of commerce, interior and agriculture and by the war trade board. The board's price fixing committee will continue to operate for a time and probably until prices fixed until July 21 expire by limitation. Dollar Year Men Out. The dissolution of the capital Issues committee ended the supervision ex- . ercised by the treasury department over public and private issues of securities. Work of the committee considered by the treasury as of value for the reconstruction period includes supervision of issues of stocks of doubtful value. The treasury has under consideration plans for continuing this supervision as a protection to owners of liberty bonds. The food and fuel administrations will continue their activities into the new year. The forces of each, however, have been sharply curtailed and the work of each limited to necessary operations. The new year also saw the retirement of a number of men who came to the aid of the government during the war and who now that hostilities have ceased, plan to return to their private business. These include Bernard Baruch, chairman of the War Industries board; Thomas B. Lcve, assistant secretary of the trer.sury; Carl R. Gray, director of operat'ons of th3 railroad administration; Robrt S. Lovett director of capital expenditures cf the railroad administration, and A. A. Ballatine, solicitor cf the Internal revenue bureau.
