Dec. i. — Ambassador Harvey was the guest of the Amer !< an circle of the Lyceum club yes terday. The marchioness of Aber deen presided. Mrs. Harvey did not attend owing to a severe cold. ftesponding to a toast, the ambas sador said: * “Europe it facing the most die pairing outlook in history.” If no good or permanent results come from the meeting of the pre miers in London, he failed to see how Europe could live another year. The last two year* had- been worse than the war. and tft« premiers' meeting would be the most momentous since 1 MS. Economic conditions in Europe must he Settled at this meeting, other wise there would be no use In hold ing the Brussels meeting. "There must be an Immediate ad justment of conditions in the minor countries." he said, “or it will effect the United States and England Eng land and America can withstand, but cannot endure." Referring to the address of the tnarcholne.-i» of Aberdeen who had de clared that the free state act. which would be effective soon, would be of the greatest benefit to England and the world, the ambassador said: “The greatest thing which has hap pened to the United States and Eng land In the last two years was the wiping out of the old running sore of Ireland. It has been wiped out completely by England's having made the proposition so generous that it coilld not fall to- be recognized by Ihe United States or any fair-minded people. Whatever events will happen in Ireland, so far ns the United States is concerned. England has done tile right thing arid there will no long er be any Irish question in Amer ica.” Four College Students Reported Killed in Fire Wnterville, Me..

(M Ttational Institution Jrom Coast to Coast*] The Store of the Town “Truthful Facts A few days ago Browning King & Co. an nounced that clothing prices were at their lowest. We also fearlessly announced that it would be impossible for us to run cloth ing sales during the months of December, January and February. We now operate eighteen stores in the largest cities in the United Slates, which gives us la tremendous buying power over the average clothing merchant. Not only does this extra buying power enable us to sell high grade merchandise at lower prices than our competitors, but also the fact that all of our clothing is manufactured in our own factories—factories that are owned, op erated and supervised by members of our own firm—makes it doubly clear that wc can and do undersell any clothing concern in the United States on high grade men’s and boys’ clothing.. Stocks of woolens, in the open market to dav, are low. Our stocks are well rounded out and complete and we Earnestly advise any of our customers who are considering making purchases of men’s, young men’s or boys’ clothing to make their selections now. We guarantee our prices against any decline for the months of December, Janu ary and February. ftiwramgKN&t&* HARVEY H. ABBOTT, Manager Co-Operative Income Tax Ruling Is Asked Washington, Dec, 6.—The internal revenue bureau is expected soon to decide whether individual members of co-operative marketing associations must pay income taxes on dividends which th»y receive from such organ izations. Such incomes heretofore had been exempt, hut attempts to collect the taxes in Kansas have met with protest and a request for final de cision by the bureau was made today by John Tromble, president, and C. E. Erasted, secretary, of the Farmers union of Kansas. While no official statement was forthcoming from the office of Com missioner Blair, there were indications that the exemption would be made a permanent part of the internal reve nue regulations. The stand taken by union officials was that to require tax returns on such forms of income would mean double taxation, inas much. they said, as the .co operative association's income ns a corporation is taxable. Canadian Wheat Blocks Railroads for II. S. Shippers American Road? Tied ITp by Heavy Shipments From Canada Stopping Move ment of Local Crops. The rush of Canadian wheat for ex port through American ports has not only tied up American railroad facili ties but has added materially to the cost of transporting such American grain as moves by boat down the Great Lakes, according to informa tion received by local grain dealers. The whole Canadian situation is being watched by dealers because of the effect it lias had in aggravating the existing car shortage and blocking the normal movement of grain frohi Nebraska and other western states. Bar Grain Shipment. On September 27. Canadian rail roads virtually' barred shipments of American grain over their lines to Canadian ports. Since that time. Canadian facilities have been reserved exclusively for Canadian grain while 74,000.000 bushels of Canadian grain has crossed the border at lake ports and is depending on American rails for transport to the Atlantic seaboard. Meanwhile vessels on tliCj Great Lakes have advanced rates from around 2 cents a bushel to as high as 8 cents a bushel. Rail rates in Canada are such that Canadian shippers can stand this water rate but Americans cannot. The result ts that the Cana dians aro utilizing the larger propor tion of vessel tonnage, as well as blocking the rails. Want Restriction. Efforts by exclusively American grain interests to have some covern inentul restriction placed on the Cana dian use of American rails and terminals has failed up-to-date. Ex porters handling Canadian grain have opposed such efforts and eastern rail j roads profiting from the direct haul on their own lines—as contrasted with , sending cars west—have not favored | any suOh action. Meanwhile It is estimated that -10,000,000 bushels of ■ grain soon will l*e in storage in lake vessels of lake ports, awaiting winter and spring transport over eastern railroads and giving little promise of improvement in the situation for many months.
