DELEGATES STUDY QUESTIONS OF ECONOMIC AID

Metal and Lubricants Held as Important as Food for . European Countries. (By Associated Preas) PARIS, Jan. 22. Owing to pressure of more urgent problems before delegates to the peace conference, various economic delegations are studying, each for Itself, the blockade and kindred problems. It is probable they will inaugurate joint discussions during the coming week. The American viewpoint contemplates a certain relaxation cf the earlier "watertight" blockade, which would allow the entry of foodstuffs, lubricants and other materials Into enemy countries. This, it is held, would permit the restoration of distributing systems, flour mills and other agencies Involved in the pre paratlon of food supplies. The blockade, however, would otherwise be as rigidly enforced as ever because of its value as a weapon to force the army to accept the peace terms that will be presented. The declaration of the blockade, as regards foodstuffs is already effective In portions of the former Ilapsburg domain. Food is being sent into Vienna as well as "liberated regions" and will be supplied to Germany under the terms of the armistice extension agreement Figned at Treves last Friday. American experts are said to believe that Babbitt metal for bearings, lubricants, repair parts for locomotive and flour mills and other articles, fall virtually in the same category as foodMuffs; since it Is obvious that enemy countries havo no adequate facilities for milling flour and distributing food after it is Imported. I Some American economic experts ndvocnte for enemy countries, at least Austria-Hungary, and possibly Germany, a further relaxation of the blockade to permit the importation of limited quantities of raw materials. These Imports, however, would not be enough to permit the central powers to resume international commercial competition while the allied countries are still laboring under the handicap of the devastation of their chief industrial regions, the spoliation of industrial plants, the transformation of the great bulk of their remaining factories into war plants and the absence of industrial laborers who are still under arms. Textiles Are Needed. The manufacture of textiles, for example, is urgently required to meet the needs of enemy populations and tho production of other materials is held; to, be absolutely indispensable. This would. It is said, facilitate relief measures and alleviate conditions of unemployment upon which bolshevism thrives, particularly in Hungary. While proper safeguards will be reeded to bar any possibility of exporting goods at the enormous prices now paid for clothing and articles or household consumption,-it -is felt that the pressure of public opinion" In enemy countries will be sufficient to keep goods at home for many months. The problem of trade restrictions on neutrals, as a part of the enemy blockade is also under consideration. . There is a disposition in American

quarters to permit exportation of most

raw materials used in industries in such quantities as are required to

meet tne demands or home consume

tion. This demand, will,, it is said, largely prevent serious exports from

neutral to adjacent enemy countries.

This problem, however, is cimpli-

caiea oy tne question of possible competition between neutrals and the handicapped entente belligerents be-

tore tne latter are completely restored to their ante-bellum efficiency. . The Syrian-Armenian Relief Campaign runt from Jan. 25-31. '

NATIONAL BLUE SKY LAW URGED

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. A draft of a bill to give the treasury authority to investigate the accuracy of statements appearing In promotion prospectuses, and to certify to their accuracy, has been placed before Secretary Glass by Charles S. Hamlin, chairman of the Capital' Issues Committee and will be sent to congress ' soon with the recommendation that Mue sky legislation be enacted at this session. Recent reports to the treasury indicate that millions of dollars worth of securities of doubtful value have been thrown on the market since the signing of the armistice and many promoters are taking liberty bonds in exchange for their stocks or bonds, subsequently throwing the liberty bonds on the market. Regardless of congressional action on proposed blue sky legislation the treasury has been assured of the support of the Associated Advertising clubs, the Investment Bankers' association and various stock exchanges in curbing the issue of fraudulent securities.

HE DARKENED HIS GRAY HAIR They Used to Call Him Grandpa; Now They Call Him Kid. Telia How He Did It. Mr. J. A. McCred, a well known resident of San Francisco, who was called Daddy and Grandpa on account of his white hair, and who darkened it with a simple home-made mixture, recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a slniplo mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it 80ft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and Ji ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very litle tcost. Apply to the hair Jtwice a week until the desired shade g obtained. This is not a dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, is sot sticky or greasy and does not rub off. My friends now call me. 'Kid.'" Adv.

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. ' If you are a middle aged man, and are living on the farm on -which 'you

were born, how would the selling out of the whole shooting, match,. lock, Btock and barrel, strike you?- And if this sale Included. the land as well as everything but the canary and a few rose bushes, what then? Hou do you suppose you would feel about it? In the case to be related, the "reserved" rose bushes are. to be transplanted out near Minneapolis, Kansas, because Mrs. Porter Reeve loves her roses and wants some cherished thing grown on her old farm home to brighten the new home out where the Solomon river flows, a , thousand miles nearer the setting sun.. Perhaps- you have read that little book. The Peace of the Solomon Valley, one of the best bits of sentimental - land and home advertising "written since railroads were introduced to civilization. Porter Reeve . Farm Sale. - This sale occurred on Tuesday, three miles West of Camden. 0. on. the Fairhaven and Camden pike. The Beautiful weather and the- character, of the sale insured a large crowd and men were there from as far distant as forty

miles, in two instances. Eaton, Bos

ton. Camden, Elkton, Seven Mile,

Somerville and, other towns in Preble and adjoining, counties were represented, there being at, least 200 in attendance. The sale was '. conducted by J. B. Foley, of Seven 'Mile; auction

eer, ana w. ti. uonarroe oi oomerville, clerk. These two make a pretty good team, judging from the handling of this Bale which covered a lot of stock, implements, etc. The auctioneer announced that the farm would also be offered, ; and it was, early in the afternoon, the bidding opening at $75 an acre. Not succeeding in getting a bid of over $106 per acre, which was way below. the owner's valuation, the rights to ."reserve" was exercised and no sale was made. The farm will be offered on private terms. ' V 1 , ' ' The property contains 114 acres and possession will be given, if sold, on March 1st. Some of the folks present

said they were glad .the. farm did not sell, as they hope to . some time see the family' back here to live:'" Men Who Attended Sale. . Not all who attended the sale made purchases. With a very few possible exceptions the complete list of buyers follows: . . ; William Root, C. Kaveler. J. Baker, James Jamison, Fred Frank, Joseph Casey and Henry Avery, all of Camden. O., were liberal buyers. S. E. pillman, route 4, Eaton, paid $103.50 cash Tor six small Duroc pigs averaging less' than 100 lbs. A. discount of 3 percent was allowed for cash. Mr. Dillman's purchases totalled $195. ' George Whitesell paid $132.85 cash for two Jersey cows. . The nine head of Jerseys brought $631. ' The highest price. paid for; a. cow., was $91 and the lowest figure a shade - over $50. , so far as the writer observed. Two good Poland China : sows brought $65 ach and three Durocs went an even dollar better per. head. The bidding started at $200 for a span of nine-year-old mules and the hammer, fell at $325." One four-year-old Percheron mare-was started at $125 and knocked down, at $195, owing to a; blemish?' Two" work horses brought $50 and $55 respectively. There was some lively bidding for corn, this being a rather scarce article in the vicinity of the sale. The 300 bushels on offer brought -an average of $1.77 per bushel and was taken, by two buyers. ' In addition to those previously nientioned the following spent more or less money at the Reeve sale: S. W. Root, Fred Frank, S. Hanley, Edward

Prices on agricultural implements, harness and the miscellaneous odds and ends usually sold at - such sales, were fairly satisfactory to Mr. Reeve, he admitted, but not as high as hoped for. ,.A 1917 model five-passenger Reo, in : good condition, was not bid high enough to cover the reserve price and was not sold, $475 being the outside bid. With all cash discounts off the sale netted $3,201.05, a large, part of which was paid in cash. ' This seems to be largely the. rule at sales of late, the farmers having . all - the money there is, except what some of the rest of us happen to need in our business. Seriously i speaking, farmers in this section 'are really in first-class financial shape, in the main, and are asking mighty little credit, as a rule, even at sales, unless for exceptionally large amounts. . At a recent sale one buyer paid over $2,100 down, and another man gave a check for $1,750 to cover his purchases. . : i

OXFORD, ; O., " Jan. . 22. For year3 there has been trouble here over the

taking out 'of, milk-peddling licenses. It isn't the price, 50 cents a year, that is objected -to: it 'is the principle. Farmers, particularly, who do a dairy business, have refused to take out licenses, and several have stopped bringing milk to town. Now the Oxford Township Farmers' Protective Association, with a membership of 120 farmers, say they will boycott certain village industries if the ordinance is not repealed. Council doesn't see haw . the situation can be remedied, since a state law governs the matter. The next meeting of council promises to be a lively session.
