1 e ; Granddaughter Of Napoleon Is Found iii France .-I , . Madame BeenarJ Leon, ' Daughter of Natural Son of 'Little Corporal," to Have ; Ildnor Place at Masiv Paris; April 22. When, on May 5, France observes the centenary o the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, with a memorial mass at Notre t't ;' Dame Cathedral it is probable that 'i ' in the great throng will be a grand daughter of the emperor, says the Petit Parisien, That newspaper 1'iscovered the descendant, Madame . lesnard Leon, who is a daughter f i the natural son of Napoleon by . ,! Eleanore de la Flaignc, maid of '"honor, to Caroline Murat. : 'I his son was born in 1806. and received from his father the title i Tf "Count Leon." While impris- mied on the Island of St. Helena, ' N'apoleon made a will in whiB he made provision for the son, but the ftocument Vas never executed. Count " Leon married quite late in life, and was the father of a daughter, Ma dame Mesnard Leon and three sons, Charles, Gaston and Fernand. Fer ' r.and died of exhaustion following i. hardships he endured durinjr the . iireat war, having rejoined the' col ors as an officer. Gaston lives in ; the Vosges region, and Charles died . some years ago. Madame Mesnard Leon is a school teacher.' a When interviewed regarding her trlationship to Napoleon, she said: "1 would like a little place at the memorial mass, but who will think of mc?"

"How many here are willing to in vest $100 in a finance corporation under competent management?" he asked and half the crowd held up us hands. "If one farmer out of . six in the United States does that : well," he declared, we will have a $100,000,000 finance corporation. Wc "do not iutemf to start any banks, but merely to erect a central finance ' corporation such as all great indus trial combinations have to secure "them against emergencies and to ex- tend credit where needed." Condemns Chicago Exchange. He announced that he had been invited to speak today in Lincoln . before the Chamber of Commerce and the Gram, exchange and said "pointedly that while he condemned the Chicago Grain exchange, the ", same conditions did jiot exist m Om- aha or other exchanges, although the '.bad features was that prices for the ..whole country were set by market; manipulation in Chicago. ', ' '. "We are not hostile to the existence " fV genuine grain markets where , ' grain is actually bought, sold and delivered," he said. "We are not - ' offering in any way to hinder their ' operations. Some claim that the speculative market tends to stabilize "prices for the farmer. This may be true in individual cases, but not of " the general level, because it is ab solute folly to say. any man who makes his profits from price fluctua tions is interested in stabilizing "' prices." . .t: ; t Few Actually Delireriei. V He then chafged that over 90 per ' cent of, the future deals on the Chi- Kago market were not followed by actual delivery of grain and that the ' actual trade was 1-5-1 of the total volume of transactions, sayinjr again ( that while this was true jn Chicago it did not apply elsewhere.; He ' praised the exchanges at Lincoln "'..and Hutchinson for admitting" farm- ere to their boards of trade. " If the United States grain growers M'sell 200,000,000 bushels of grain a .' a eat they will have $1,000,000 a year "Si to invest in terminals and to finance '. operations,' he estimated. The cor " poration is to be non-profit and non- , stock and the terminals that are ob- tained by subsidiaries will become --the property of the farmers v who ; t finance them. When grain is sold in i "the usual way, on a commission basis, Lthe maximum deduction ,is limited to 1 per cent. In the case of a pool, ' an additional 1 per cent of the value may be taken. . Deduction certifi- -cates will be issued to grain growers Riving tnem tneir proportionate -, share of the facilities bought with ' Uhis moneyi '. Will Pool Surplus. On the theory that 1 the surplus available for export is what now - largely determine! the price of all " wheat, this surplus it is intended to " pool. This export grain, Mr. Thorne ' explained, probably would be aold 'for less than that for home consump- J tton inasmuch as the farmers would have to compete with the peon labor - and chcB landssuof South America . for "foreign busintss. . ' , ' ; Another claim made for the new .marketing agency was that if suc . cessful it would sell perhaps 80 per -cent of its grain without ever send- in it through the exchangee, direct to mills. - By this method and by ' economics in direct exporting, he " predicted a savinjr of from 1 to 7 centa a bushel in marketing cost. A get-together meeting of direc- tors of many Nebraska farm organ- iations was held at the hotel last TSnight. Among those represented were the Equity, Farmers' union, ' Farm Bureau federation, the Grange and Wheat Growers association and the Farmers' congress.
