PRESID[NT SILENT ON RESERYATIONS j Official Circles Expect Some More From Executive MAY START TOUR AUGUST $TH 3 President Hopes "to Swing Around 3 the Circle" as Soon as Possible. 3 Washington, July 27.-No word 3 came from the White House today to 3 clear up intimations that President 3 Wilson, before beginning his speaking tour, might make some public express sion of his views on the reservations to the covenant of the league of na tions which some Republican sena 3 tors insist are necessary to its ratifi 3 cation. 3 Although no one in the President's official family would take notice of j these intimations, which are wide spread, the impression continues to 3 grow in congressional and official cir Sciles that the President had some idea .., his mind. Tomorrow the President 3 will receive callers at his desk in the legislative offices for the first time in several days. All his appointments are with Democratic members of the House or Senate. This morning the President, ac companied by Mrs. Wilson, attended church. In the afternoon he took a long automobile ride in the country. An announcement regarding the President's forthcoming trip to the Pacific coast is expected from the White House tomorrof or Tuesday. Mr. Wilson is said to have been con sidering an itinerary calling for his de parture from Washington August 5. If this date is finally decided upon the Presidetn should arrive in Los An geles the 12th, after making a speech in the middle west. t It. originally had been expected that the trip would not start before August 10 at the earliest. Now, however; Mr. Wilson is de scribed as being anxious to start his swing around the circle' as soon as possible. His speeches will be de signed to give a clear-cut analysis of the conditions he feels make the league of nations a necessity and the things he hopes its adoption will ac complish. The President also probably will take occasion to answer his crit ics. Extraordinary arrangements are be ing made to accommodate a large number of newspaper correspondents on the trip, requests for permission to accompany the chief executive having poured into the White House from all sections of country. From present in dications, at least two score of co respondents may go along. o - 1HOW A "SUCKER" WAS SAVED A city man got a very glowing cir cular from a Chicago "development company" offering him 10 acres of land in Florida for the surprisingly small sum of $2,500-a "peanut unit' the circular called it. He could grow, the circular said, a thousand bushels of peanuts on his 10 acres and could sell the peanuts--allowing for low prices-at $2 a bushel. The city man was impressed; but he sent the cir CATARRH CANNOT BE CURlED with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as 3they ca:muot reach the seat of the dlisease.

Following are some senten ces from the letter he got in reply: "The literature is of the kind design ed to deceive city people in the North and West who do not know anything about farming." "The average return from 10 acres of peanuts would not exceed $300 to $500." "You could buy a 100-acre farm in almost any of the counties of western Florida, including the one mentioned in the circular, for the price these people ask for 10 acres." "The whole 'unit' system, whether it is pecans, peaches, figs, cane, peanuts, hogs, or what not, is simply a means of selling land at three to five times what it is worth to ignorant or unwary small investors." "To pay $2,500 for this 10 acres of land would stamp you as a 'sucker' of the rankest class." "All this is with out reflecting in any way on Florida, for it is a good State and lands are comparatively cheep there." ---o SA YS HE MURDERED CHILI) Chicago, July 27.-Thomas Fitzger ald, night watchman of a residential hotel, confessed to the police that he had murdered six-year-old Janet Wil kinson, a neighbors child, and thus brought to a climax one of Chicago's most stirring police cases.
