FOOD FROM AMERICA STOPS BOLSHEVISM SPREAD IN EUROPE The -work of the American relief administration did much to save central Europe from Bolshevism, according to J. H.' Wallls of Dubuque, Iowa,, who has returned to the United States after a five months' survey abroad. He found great suffering In many countries, particularly In Poland and Austria, and said that the peasants who had been driven into Russia in the great Russian retreat, and who have returned to their homes, were living in huts and eating soup made from grass. "I was told that their condition was improved because the grass was long er" said Mr. Wallis. ,-In general, the aspect today of central Europe and the Baltic section is one of recovery. The recovery is, perhaps, not as rapid as it might have been if men and na tions had been ideally wise, but it is substantial and promising. Although there are distressing conditions, it is a mistake to suppose that Europe 1 finking. The contrary is true. There are still some international wrangles. Austria, not yet adjusted to her new place in the world order, is still suffering business stagnation. But economic conditions are improving, the economic barriers between countries are being broken down by commercial treaties, the railway systems are getting back to normality. Order has been restored everywhere. The re sponsible authorities in all these coun tries are respected. Many Use War Dugouts. "My investigation in central Europe and the Baltic states took me into Austria. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Ger many, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia. In all these countries I had (he privilege of talking with the prin cipal government officials. I also made it a point to get the views of the most prominent bankers and business men of the various countries. Beyond that, I have seen labor leaders, presidents of universities, workmen, peasants, refugees. "It is true that there is still-a great deal of hardship and poverty. I have seen people living in old dugouts along the Russo-German line. In the eastern section of Poland, I have seen Poles who returned to find their primitive log huts gone or in a state of ruin. They were making a desperate effort to live, perhaps two or three families crammed into a shack that looked like a ruined barn, without work animals, cows or proper agricultural implements. "Perhaps most Americans do not realize the effects of the vast feeding operations of the American relief com mission. Millions of children have j been saved from death, disease, or permanent weakness by the great operations which have covered thirteen countries, feeding at different limes probably 10,000,000 children, supPlying 1,500,000,000 meals and expending $100,000,000. But there nave been other results of far-reaching importance, economically and politically." Farmers to Halt Roadside Spooning In Grant County marton. tnrf. Sent. ?0 The morals of the young folk engaged the tention of the board of directors of the Grant County Agricultural association at a meeting here. The practice of parking automobiles along the country roads after dark was condemned vigorously by members of the board, and steps will, be taken to perfect an organization of farmers throughout the, county who will put a stop to the practice, which, they say, has grown to be a nuisance. It was said close watch had been kept on the mainly traveled roads after dark and that on each road a number of machines were found parked along the roadside. So serious has the situation become, accord ing to one of the members of the Association, that there are places near Marion where it is unsafe for the children of farmers to go outside of the hoKe.

""ri-fi-fiiiwyTMi The palatial LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept 20. 1 How much of ''Fatty" Arbuckle's fortune will be left when he is finally I through with the San Francisco courts? His wealth is now estimated at from $500,000 to $1,000,000. But his income of $5,000 a week has suddenly ceased, and his expenses are tremendous. He has employed three of the best lawyers in the state, and has instructed them to spare no expense in gaining him his freedom. The Los Angeles film colony is betting that Arbuckle's beautiful home here will be sold to satisfy the demands of his lawyers before he is through with the courts. Here is a tabloid history of "Fatty" Arbuckle's rise to fame and fortune: Born on farm in Kansas, attended school when chores permitted his absence from homeParents wished him to enter ministry or become physician. Attended one-ring circus and decided to be either a circus clown or bareback rider. A few years later a one-car minstrel show came to town and young Arbuckle slipped away from the farm before dawn, saw the show and decided on a stage career. While still in his teen3 he left home, drifted west, worked at odd jobs, arrived In California and got his first start on the stage with a "repertoire company, playing everything from au part in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to one in "East Lynne." Meets Minta Durfee. There he met Minta Durfee, then also in her teens and stagestruck. She coached "Fatty" in the art of acting. Together they drifted to South California and met Walter Newman, a New York producer and actor, who had taken out a show of his own. He started a stock company and hired "Fatty" and Miss Durfee as a "team." Arbuckle's first essay in a serious role gave isewman a snock, Dut later at-i"e cast him for comedy parts. Under Newman's direction "Fatty" improved as an actor. Soon after Mack Sennett entered the motion picture game, "Fatty" went to LOVE OF PEACE CURE FOR DISCORD, POPE (By Associated Press) ROME, Sept. 20. Society today is deeply affected with civil discord due to excessive egotism and a refusal to acknowledge inevitable differences between social classes, said Pope Benedict yesterday during an address to members of the Order of St. Francis, gathered here in international congress. As a result he added, treaties of peace were signed by nations, but they continued to engage in bloody conflicts. Pope Benedict emphasized St. Francis' love of peace and concord and said that only this spirit could heal present conditions. Nearly 5,000 delegates to the congress were received by tlie Pope, who addressed the assembly in the court of Danaso in the Vatican. lbs. . 5c 25c 15c Corn, can . ...

Sennett thereafter cast Arbuckle opposite Mabel Normand and they continued the "Fatty and Mabel" comedy series as long as both remained with Sennett, "Fatty" at this period receiving $150 a week. Gets Big Salary Increase. -Sennett. aware that "Fatty" was growing popular, signed him up for a two-year contract at $300 a week. This expired in 1916. In the fall of 1915 Sennett sent the "Fatty-Mabel" company east to the then Triangle Studio in Fort Lee, where a film, "The Waiters' Ball," was produced, and established "Fatty's" fame. Mabel Kormand's contract expired and "Fatty's" was about to run out. Through Kessel and Bauman, who owned the Keystone company, Sennett got Mabel to renew her contract, but Arbuckle refused to sign.

He will stay there a month getting into condition to meet the rigors of a series of banquets he expects to attend while visiting the United States. The American legionaries who visited France during the past month made it clear to him that they regarded him as "their marshal," and that record honors and hospitalities woula feature the welcome accorded him. "Poor Marshal Fayolle was on the verge of dyspepsia when he returned from America," the marshal is said to have remarked jokingly, "and he has a much better stomach than I. If the Americans insist on banqueting me as they propose, I am afraid the 'battle of America' will be my undoing." Quit wishing and ADVERTISE! Use the Want Ads. tQl i
