NEW. CONGRESS FAVORS
SOLDIERS' BONUS BILL
So Declares New York Times
After Canvas of New Mem
bers of Congress - May
Override President's Veto
If Necessary.
NFAV YOHK. Nov. ;J0. Passage of
bonus indicated by poll of new con
gress,'" is tho heading of the New York
Times, Nov. IS, over a tabulation of th'.)
standing of Mediators and representa
tives following a canvass of the recently
elected membership.
The Times states that "an overwhelm
ing preponderance of new members of
the house of representatives are in fa
vor" of the adjusted compensation,
"and nearly as great a preponderaucee
of ' advocates among the new members
of the United States senate."
The result of the poll, coupled with the
record of votes of thoso who remain in
congress, shows that adjusted compensa
tion advocates in the house are in a po
sition again to override a veto if Presi
dent Harding finds the next bill no more
satisfactory to him than the last.
Assuming that re-elected representa
tives will vote on another veto the same
way they did the last time, and .counting
the expressions of those new represen
tatives who replied to the Times' query,
a. tabulation of tho result gives 292 for
adjusted compensation and 5'A - votes
against, with ninety members unrepre
sented, -either because they jre , nev
! members and did not reply to the query,
jor because they are old members and
failed to vote on the question.
The Times. says the situation in tho
senate is more closely balanced, if i
vote on the veto comes up. The- poll
gives 3.1 senators for, and 27 against
adjusted compensation, with three non
committal, one non-eommittal at present
but likely to announce his position; on
ill and one whose position is in question.
1'itder the rule requiring a two-thirds
votes to override 'a veto, the supporters
would have to obtain 64 votes in tho
senate, the Times points out, and adds:
"On the face of ' tho canvass, it would
seem likely that the supporters might ob
tain the additional vote needed.""
Of the IS new senators-elect convass
ed, replies were received from 14. Nino
declared in favor of adjusted compen
sat ion, sonic of them adding, "as advo
cated by the American Legion." One,
Frank I Greene, of Vermont, telegraph-'
ed that he is against it., Three others,
Bavard of, T)eleware, Bruce of Mary
land, and George of Georgia, declined
to express an opinion.
The senate failed to pass the last ad
justed eoiniH-nsatiou bill over the Presi
dent's veto by a vote of 44 to 2H of
members present. The house overrode
the President 'g veto 252 to 54, with 72
paired, 4.1 absent and not paired and
Speaker Gillett present but not votin.

FASHION HAS AGAIN
RAIDED THE BARNYARD
PARIS, Nov. 11 Fashion in
her ever insistent search for nov
elty, again has invaded the barn
yard . Rooster feathers have come
back. They are the latest thing on
smart Paris hats, and even on eve
ning gowns. All colors are used,
and when the rooster can't supply
the shade, the dyer does. However,
natural white and black are the
most popular colors.
Rooster feathers probably are
about as cheap material as can be
found, but their use on chic hats
has not lowered the price of bon
nets. One little hat shop is dis
playing these '"simple but smart"'
things at 750 francs, while other
stores ask 500 and 600 francs.'
FARM PRICES HAVE
SHOWN BIG ADVANCES
u- ;
North Carolina Is Better Off
Than Most Any State In the
Union, Says Frank Parker,
Agricultural Statistician.
JtALKJGJI, N. C, Nov. -M I'riees of
farm products have shown an advance
luring the past two months and today
Nortli, 'Carolina "is economically and
financially better oil'" than most any
other state, iu the Union, according to a
statement issued today by Frank Barker,
agricultural statistician of the North
Carolina and 1'nited States departments
of agriculture.
The reasonable prices for cotton and
tobacco and the "fairly good " yields of
these two crops have been largely re
sponsible for the favorable conditions,
he stated. Auother reason given wai
that Nortli Carolina is "not as nearly a
one crop state as might be supposed, or
even as much so as Iowa, Illinois or
Texas which outrank her."
"Salesmen and banker often com
ment on the good financial condition of
the state as sUown by their loans, sales
and collections," said Mr. Darker.
"This does not menu that the statu is
Hushed, or that farmers are even able to
pay all their debts, but that thoy are'
more nearly able to do so than, those of
Other Mates.
"Trices of farm products have ad
vanced somewhat during the past two
months after a steady decline which re
sulted iu. the farmers' products having
a purchasing power of less than two
thirds of other commodities on a pre
war basis. The steady advance in manu
factured "products was bound to react on
crop prices, even if liclatcd.
"The November 15 prices paid to
farmers show as follows: Live hogs,
IO.L',5, or the best price' in 1,S months;
beef cattle $j.1j, tho highest in 13
months; lambs, '.f$."0; milk J'V'l I'er
gallon is steady; apples $:',.6t per bar
rel, an iiu-rease due to tlie better grades
for coiumi rcial selling; sweet potatoes
$ti.Sj are on the toboggan downward;
cabbage are quite cheap in the, western
fall-pr'iiciiig hill eounties; loose hay is
averaging about :TT, or u slight recent
improvement; cotton seed at per ton
is naturally upward, as is tobacco at -iZ
cents a pound; eggs have ylimbed to 43
cents; chickens 2;! and turkey ;il cents
a pound. '
"This state's cunt crop makes lip
more than .'It percent of the total land
cultivated; cotton 1 ti percent ; wheat 7.-I ;
oats, .; tobacco ."; hay 7 ; cow peas .'.ti ;
soy Ikvhis almost .'; clover .'!, and other
crops -h's-H-r percentages. . This indicates
a creditable diversification and home
supply. .
'Things are not bad in North Caro

said.

JUDGE ORADY'SjACTION
WHEN HE TAKESIOATH
MAKES RALEIGH GOSSIP
Capital City Is Exercised as
to Effect Dr. Haywood's
Statement Will Have In
Official Circles In State.
'It ALU IO U, Nov. 29. Rev. Dr. Oscar
Haywood's publication of a wide-open
secret the membership and tho leader
ship of the Ku Klux Klan in North Caro
lina by Judge .Henry A. Grady has
Raleigh speculating wwiiderfuily on the
judge-elect's course when ho takes the
oath of oflico soon.
The - .Daily News bureau has been in
possession of the, facts since the klan
election here in the summer. Two, mem'
Iters told all about it. Later Jlev. Dr.
V". K. 'Thompson, personal represcutati v
of tho ex-imperial wizard of Atlanta,
let it out. Hut The Daily News was
haitimerini; the klan every day or two
and any " news given the paper by
members of the klan had to bo handled
very carefully.
J. W. Bailey came near ''turning up
something .several weeks ago when the
Ciierard habeas corpus was ' up here.
Mr. lluiley w.u examining a witness
testifying to alleged cnbcxzleinc nt ' by
Gnerard and the lawyer asked 'the wit
uess if he knew the olliceis of the' khiu.
The witness was very ignorant. "If 1
should show you the grand dragon of
the order in this court house you would
jump out of your chair, wouldii 't you .' "
.Mr. Hailoy asked, and the witness di l
not know: exactly what to say, Judge
Grady had Im-cii sitting in the coin'
house listening to the. investigation, bu?
he hail retired when Mr. Bailey turned
public, attention toward him.
The Italeigh Times thinks in terms of
impeachment for judicial " officer who
hold membership In the k!au. It is very
generally understood here .that -scw-ral
state oljicers belong to the kltokcrs and
that it least one more superior court
judge is a member. Dr. Thompson was
the first man to.. tolK that Dr. Haywood
is a W-nibcr and lecturer for the", order.
The Baptist evangelist comes here often
and is very popular. His friends who
cannot tolerate the. kl.iu are amazed V
Dr. Haywood s attitude.
Then the klan makes open claim.
Wlieu The Daily News lambasts it th.'
klansnien declare that everybody work
ing for the paper belongs to the uight
shirters, and when the Kpiscupulians lav
their hands on it without any thought of
giving it a benediction, the boosters say
more Episcopal clerics are in it thau
John saw. It was this spirit that led
Raleigh newspaper men to hold up mi i
Judge ..Grady's and Dr. Haywood s.
membership, a caution th.it allowed the
locals to get a good beating by New
York reporters.

officers lay iu wait for him but In
got away from them after a scuffle in
