Declaring prices of farm Implements
to have been Increased without
v arrant through "concerted action"
of manufacturers and dealers, the
federal trade commission has recommended
reopening of anti-trust proceedings
against the International
^ Hurvester company and the instltu?

Implement manufacturers and dealers.
The commission asserted that

proportion of Increase during 1917

declared, was larger than
warranted and resulted In unusually
large profits.

A monograph In the London Financial

old Citizens' Hnnk .of Louisiana, at
New Orleans, rovonls the origin of
the name "Dixie Land"?th<? term

Colliiae Pinned Tuesduy.
A fotir room cottage, on White
street, oni'oslte mill No. 2, <?f the
Fort Mill Manufacturing company,
which was occupied by. Plato White
and family, caught tire at noon Tuesday
from a broom that had accidentally
become ignited and in a few
minutes was j practically destroyed.
A number of energetic young men responded
to the lire alarm with what
was left of the tire lighting equipment
bought by the town several years ago
and which probably yet would have
been In serviceable condition hat! it

they reached the burning building
and got the dilapidated hose in action
the lire had spent itself. Mr. White,
with the assistance of neighbors, got
most of ills household effects out of
the house af^er the tire was diseov

L, A. Harris and Is said to have been
partially Insured.
Texnns K??ek Hurled Treasure.
Searchers after burled silver on the
mainland opposite Pete island. 18
miles southeast of Corpus Chrlstl,
Trxas, probably are doomed to disappointment.
In the opinion of a CJnlveston
writer on historical and scientific
subjects. The rush of treasure
seekers began with the discovery recently
of 25 skeletons, popularly believed
by many to be those of members
of the crew of a Spanish treasure
ship which foundered off the
Texas coast early In the 18th century.
It is pointed out that the "life" of a
skeleton buried In the sands of the
benches of the coastal country is not
more than 4 0 years. whereas the
treasure ships from Mexico to Spain
were discontinued after 1820, partly
because of the activity of Jean L.nflitte's
fleet of buccaneers

One Favored Class in Russia.
There Is only one favored class In
Russia today. This class is composed
entirely of theatrical women,

been passionate .lovers of the theatre
and. even under the present regime,
they treat their stage favorites as
so many queens. The actresses are
the only women in Russia who ore
permitted to wear shoes in warm
