HOOVER PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN, SAYS HtS CLOSEST FRIE11D NEW -TORK, Jan. 15. Herbert Poorer wai declared Wednesday night by Julius Barnes, his close associate and friend, to be a "progresslre Republican." "who "will never allow filmed! to be candidate (or office- nor allow his friends to make an effort la, his behalf, unless there shall be such indisputable evidence of such spontaneous and universal popular demand that It will overwhelm his present resolution not to enter politics." Mr. Barnes,. who is director of the United States wheat corporation, was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the National Wholesale Dry Goods association, v Referring to reports that Mr. Hoover might be a Democratic presidential candidate. Mr. Barnes said: "As a lifelong Republican, I am reassured to believe that only one development could place him on the Democratic ticket. In spite of all that has appeared in the recent press. 1

believe that could come aooui oniy u overconfldence in their own political prospects blinds the Republican party to adopt a nonprogressive platform, and to nominate candidates of reaction. - . -,. "With his intense earnestness of purpose and his sincere desire to further the social progress of onr people by the preservation of equal opportunity, it is conceivable that the liberal minded voters of all parties may then Insistently demand such a leadership as his for the expression of rightful social and political Ideals. . Foe ef Reaction. "The partisanship of Herbert Voover extends only to Insistence on the maintenance of equality of opportunity in this country and to the support of the party exemplrfying that ideal. That door of opportunity must be made to swing easily on the hinge of efficiency. It must not be Blammed In the face of worthy aspirations by the gusts of reaction, nor wrenched from its hinges by reckless and impatient hands."

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

NOTE AND COMMENT " Fred G. Lock, owner of Crescent V. ranch at Palacios, Texas, claims the unique distinction of owning the only

"sacred miir in tne unitea BiieB. This bull hails from India and was formerly kept in an Indian temple, the priest of which was defrocked for assisting in smuggling the bull out of the country, against the laws of the state. It is said that a Mr. Borden imported this animal at a cost of $75,000. which is doubtful, but at any rate circus men have offered a whole lot of money for this show attraction. The farmer's trite should cheer up; there is no real substitute for eggs. The U. S. department of agriculture states that "egg substitutes are of no aid In baking". Most of these egg substitutes are essentially starch or powdered cereals, sometimes artificially colored, we are told. The fact that each package is supposed to take the place xtt a lot of eggs and sells by the ounce at about $1 per'pound does not seem to add goodness or value to

these concoctions. Miss Helen Seeger, formerly of Purdue and now of Indianapolis, has been appointed secretary to Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist Preble county tobacco growers who are offered 22c for some mighty good cigar leaf will be glad to know that their brethren in Connecticut are get

Modern Business Women Discarding Wedding Ring (New York Evening Sun.) In those dark ages when the Cave man was' something more real than the hero of a Broadway melodrama, when the cave was unquestionably women's sphere, marriage we are told, was little more than an adventure in wife catching, and the wedding ring was worn as a symbol of the wife's captivity. Now, of course, we are more enlightened. When Mr. Bernard Shaw and other wise men tell us that marriage is merely the consummation of

husband catching, (devoutly to be.

wished!) the question naturally arises, Should not the modern husband wear

a wedding ring as a symbol of his captivity? Of course, some of them do. Fair minded gentlemen everywhere are realizing the justice of the contention, and the double ring ceremony Is coming more and more into vogue. On the other hand, however, many modern businss women are discard

ing their wedding rings entirely, re

garding them as a symbol of bondage unworthy of an autonomous individual a voter and a bread winner. The time is happily past when a wife is merely her husband's chattel, "his

household goods," to quote our friend

Petruchio. Merely an Episode.

Nowadays marriage is apt to be

merely an episode in the life of an ambitious business woman. She asks

for an afternoon off; is married and

return! to the office the following day;

such an instance occurred only re

cently In a New York office. Another young woman not long ago had the courage to start off on her honeymoon

with neither wedding nor engagement

ring they simply didn't appeal to her was the reason she gave for leaving; them at home. Had she but known it,

she was following an old Jewish cus

torn, for the elaborate Jewish wedding rings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were used only during the ceremony and then were laid away and carefully preserved by the family. Small wonder, If they really were as

cumbersome as descriptions of them suggest! Sometimes they took the

form of a plain 'old filigree band, but quite frequently, .in place of the bezel, the model of a house was attacheda house with high gabled roof and enameled tiles, with open windows, and sometimes even a movable .weather vane! The old Romans, we are told, first made use of the ring as a marriage symbol. Usually made of bronze these rings were given at the time of the betrothal as a pledge of the engagement "an earnest of faith." During the middle ages the practice continued and the "fede" ring, bearing the device of two right hands clasped,-became especially popular. The same form of embellishment was frequently used on the "gimmel rings" of the period, unique affairs composed of two hoops wrought so exactly alike that when combined they appeared to be but a single circlet. The outside of these rings is usually convex and elaborately ornamented, while the inside usually bears some sentimental inscription. Picture the romantic possibilities the missing heir identifed, the! dstressed ramsel delivered or the pledge redeemed! No wonder they figured largely In the romances of the times. , "Posy" Rings Fascinating. Particularly fascinating are the English wedding rings of the seventeenth century. The "posy," or "poesie," ring, with its engraved verse or motto, was especially favored. Although as early as the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries these "posy" rings were used, at that time the engraving was usually placed on the outside, while later it was almost invariably la-

GERMANS RUSH HOME AS

AMNESTY LAW IS PASSED GENEVA, Jan. 14. An enormous

exodus of German, subjects from Switzerland to their former homes, most of them deserters from the German army during the war. Is noticeable here following the recent enactment of the amnesty law in Germany.

It has been necessary to double the

number of trains to accommodate the

rush across the frontier. Swiss newspapers express satisfaction at the de

parture of the Germans and are call

of the notorious German spies, who still are said to remain at Lugano.

scribed within. The seventeenth century rings are sometimes fashioned

with painted enamels In flower pat

terns covering the entire surface.; They often contain a hollow space for a strand of hair, and usually bear

some tender "posy", such as "I am

here In place of a friend." It was

about- the beginning of the - century that "Memento Mori" rings began to

be worn curious memorials of the departed. "Widows took up the

vogue and frequently converted their

wedding rings with grewsome symbols, such as an elongated skeleton.

placed on a background of black

enamel. Inside of these rings an in

scription, "Prepared be to follow

me," or some equally gloomy injunc

tion, was usually Inscribed.

The wedding rings of the eight

eenth century are elaborately and

exquisitely wrlght. Some subtly ex-. press a sentiment to be read byj means of the first letters of the stones with which they are set. Al-j though the wedding ring on the mid-! die finger, in the reigns of the Geor; ges, the circlet was frequently' worn on the thumb. During the middle; ages a destined bride of the church j

also sometimes wore a wedding ring, but hers was worn on the third finger of the right hand. It is said that the

present custom, of wearing the ring on the third finger of the left band originated in the pretty conceit that! a certain vein "flows thence to the heart." - ' In some parts of India a signet ' ring is presented to the bride, a gift with much the same significance as would be attached to a bunch of keys the bestowal of authority over the goods and household of her husband. Many curious old wedding rings are still to be found among the peasants of Europe, perhaps the strangest being those which contain the heart-shaped milk teeth of the young roebuck, connected by a small lock from which hang two keys a symbol of the union of two pure hearts. It was reserved for modern times to give to the wedding ring Its

smooth, convenient and artistically unimportant form. The plain gold circlet Is still the form most frequently seen, although milady some

times prefers the ring of chased

platinum or of platinum Inset with diamonds. In which case, when the minister says, ."William, will you. etc.,' William with thoughts of the high cost of veerything. Including wedding rings, probably mutters: "I

will," and adds a .heartfelt "so help

me . God."
