Weekly Panorama of Events in the National Capital. ByPETER KEEGAN Special Correspondent THE QUASHING OF THE INDICT MENTS against ex-Secretary of uterior Fall, Harry Sinclair, Edward *)oheny and E L. Doheny, Jr. came to an anticlimax to the exciting scandals of last summer In the Tea Pot Dome investigation. The guil: or innocence of the men was left out of the question entirely, when Chief Justice McCcfy dismissed the indictments on a legal technicality. Gaston B. Means, the man who stated ;hat his business in life was "answering indictment^" hag not fared so well in the courts. Having been convicted and fined $10,000 on a charge of conspiracy .recently t he is again ca led before the courts to answer a new indie ment brought against him ? this time on a charge of forgery. IN ANNOUNCING HER CANDID- i ACY to succeed her husbasd as Con* gressman from Massachusetts Mrs. John Jacob Rogers is following the precedent of three of our congress, women, Mrs. Florence Kahn and J Mrs. Mae Nolan of California^ both j elected to succeed their husbands 1 and Mrs. Winifred Mason Huch of j Illinois who finished the unexpired term of her father. Mrs. Rogers is prominent In Washington society and i8 fitted for her casdidacy through her experiesce here while | her husband was in the House of i Representees. Her home waa a , "mecca" of interesting people and becueae of her intense interest in politics she made the most of the j opportunities which Washington af forded her and became well_inform_ ed on he subject^ with which she will have to deal if she is elected. CHARLES B. WARREN, twice de feated appointee for the Attorney Generalship, may yet become a member of the Coolidge Cabinet if Secretary of War Weeks yields to the pleas of his family o retire be cause of hi8 ill-health. It is rumour ed that Coolidge may decide to "call the bluff" of some of Warren's op pononents in the recent fight in the Senate, who said tha- they would approve him for any other post in the Cabinet but that of Attorne> General. It is doubtful however t 9 tha" Warren would accept the post if it should be offered to him. in which event Charles B Hilles, Rep^ ulican National Committeeman from ! New York is considered the most I likely successor to Weeks. IN ACCORDANCE WITH the j President's well-known economy poli- I cy a survey is being made of j all of the Government Departments j with a view t0 eliminating all ex_ penses whiich are not absolutely nec essary. Included in this investiga tion is the United States Employ ment Compensation Commission, whose activities have been carried out independently and not under the supervision of any of the van ous Departments. Unusual interest j is shown by the public in this Com- I mission not only because of its splendid schievment but a'so be. | cause it is thef only Unied States! Commission which has ever been i headed by a woman. The preseent i chairman of the Commissions Is Mrs, ! Bessie Parker Bruegginan, one of i the most prominent women in the | Republican party. It is rumoured that the Commission will ei her be j done away with entirely, or placed j under the supervision of some of j the other Government Departments. A NEW NIGHT COURT has been ! set up in "Washington wi h an ec- i centric interesting character, Jusge George II. McDonald to deal out justice to the erring culprits. Ilis comments and preachments bid fair to make him as famous as | famous as a aertain celebrated judge of a decade ago in * North Caro'ina. made prominent on the Vaudeville stage. The eases which are brough before the night Court consits largely of bootlegging and traffic violations. THE MUZZLING OF COUNT KAROLYE by the State Department i I succeeded in creating such drami ic suspense that his recent utterance in Montreal was listened to with bated breaths Washing on fairly "ate up'' the speech which was made to newspaper men at a hotel shortly after he crossed the Canad ian border. He called his country,.. Hungary., reactionary barring all' democracy and s ated that a series i of conflicts in Europe are inevitable j if Admiral Horthv continues in pow- ; er. He said that he was considered a radical but that it meant little since, in his opinion, the Hungar ians would call Stanley Baldwin a radical in their ultra-conservative state of mind, Washington is espec ially interested in his friendly com ment concernng the attitdue of the United States towards his even f though they denied him the freedom of speech.

C. OUR POLK COUNTY FAIRS It is now time t0 arrange for our j fairs t0 be held ihis fall. We have j been Interviewed relative to what j kind where and when the fairs 1 9 would be. There 1s some divergence 1 of opinion , on the subject and we j would be glad for suggestions^ from ; any citizen of Polk County. We want to make tbe fairs this fall the most educational possible. The time haa been that the fairs were ex pected to bring out every possible product of every farm; In order to show he power of the community to produce many varieties of dlfferont lines of produce. What we desire this year, and succeoding years, will be to standard ize our crops and grade produce In an acceptable way to suit the demands of the markets. What is meant by standardizing crops is, that the community will io- rn to grow the same variety of all crops ihat are grown for market. For instance, every cotton grower in Polk County should grow the same kind of cotton. It would all grade together better^ and *11 could procure the same kind of good seed easier. Kvery sweet potato grower should grow for market the same variety, so with the Irish potatoes^ com etc When crops are standardized * and brought together a: the store or the I 1 I - shipping point and mixed^ there Is ' no difference In appearance and will sell better than when many varieties j are mixed. Grading consists In separating this standard product Into grades^ ac cording to sizes, shape, color, etc. Which makes all the difference when exposed for sale on the market. When all grades are "dumped" on the market together, the seller generally gets the price of the lowest grade in I his offering. The farmer who grows well a pro duct that the market wants^ and then grades it well and offers it In a clean well prepared manner, willf even on glutted markett get a fair and remunerative price. And this is what we are aiming at this Fall^ we do not care so much for great quanti ies piled up at the fairs; but excellent quality^ put up in excellent condition according to the rules of grading farm products.
