G. Schreiner Auctioneering OFFICE AT RESIDENCE M-R * McHenry, Illinois stratagems ot cmeitains have marked a hectic week to official life. The harmonizing efforts have been rushed especially in the Democratic camps before the campaign for the Presidency is officially launched. The handiwork of the peace-makers is everywhere apparent and some progress has been noted among Republicans not listed as pro-HooVer. It is not generally known that a goodly number of partisans march under the party banner without subscribing to the theories of the titular leader or adhering to the policies of the insurgent element. It is Interesting that this conservative group is recruited largely from leaders in the Harding and Coolidge regime. Briefly, thoy ar« for the Republican Party, but rot its present leadership. There is likelihood that some followers of Alfred E. Smith amy participate in political affairs in murl> the same spiral The rapidity which characterizes shifts on public issues was never better exemplified than during the past week. During the conventions in June prohibition was the uppermost topic. Like the plummet inclines toward the mountains so did the Congress concentrate on economic matters within a short space of time. Foreign problems were enlivened by actions abroad. Yet, the tensity marking the differences between the President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives effectively shelved European matters and greatly subdued prohibition discussion. Hoover and Garter have been at loggerheads over methods of financing relief of unemployment. Public /interest is fittingly aroused to a high pitch with the revival of catchy epithets, "demagogue", "classes versus the masses", and other emphatic tags. It was an easy matter for a public deeply absorbed in governmental aid to the suffering to attach meanings only hinted In the verbal fireworks. The political doctors admit that the nation needs remedies but cannot agree on the prescription- The two major parties are inaugurating their campaigns for the Presidency and for the control of Congress on credit. Funds are either at low ebb or extinct. Financial backers or party "angels" of other years cannot subscribe because their own fortunes have been seriously impaired or wiped out. It appears that in the struggle for the White House job, the managers are overlooking another important feature--the election of men and women to the national legislature. It is reliably that Senators and Representatives have talked to deaf ears when asking for money for their own state battles for office. As a direct consequence, the candidates are planning to make their b<d for votes on their own record or their particular pledges. If these campaigners are obliged to raise their funds at home, particularly the Republicans, it is not likely that problems of the Administration will figure prominently in their appeals to their constituency. Real victory comes with the control of the legislative as •well as administrative branch. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation was created in February as a relief agency. Already Congress has manifested a disposition to make it a dumping ground to make effective all legislative plans. The unemployment scheme as passed by Senate and House conferees in effect established a super-financial agency. The home loan banking bill which was originally designed to build a special system for home buildings and financing, was changed in the Senate and made a part of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. It is small wonder that the directors and employees of thjs Federal agency work until the milkman appears on the streets. It is unquestionably the hardest working government outfit with more burdens at hand as a direct remit of Congressional action.

Any community, the conference decided, owes a definite responsibility to men of this type, and, while this responsibility has for the most part been accepted In the past, the methods used-in handling the^men have been wrong. Missions, rewarding the man who prayed loudest, pursued the wrong course, the experts asserted. 8c did those who gave with a cynicism rivaled only by that of the transient, and those who regarded the men with suspicion. Now, it was agreed, "the seasonal migratory worker" and "the local homeless man" should get a new deal --a deal in which a definite trend in treatment would be preserved, noir only in a community, bat in a whole! section of the country.

The dty of St. Louis, however, was not Incorporated nntil April, 1828. , vie*) A LTHOUGH Roderick McKesson was guardian for his niece, Alice Randolph, and for Gerald, the son of his deceased friend, Simon Outhbert, be had no idea of allowing his two wards to marry. He regarded .Gerald as too lacking in business ability to ever really get on in the world. He was too light and airy in his talk and behavior to suit old Roderick, who was a ponderous person and liked solemnity and ponderosity in others. Roderick's idea of the proper sort of a hofhehd for Alice was Gilbert Anderson. Anderson was a hustler, always In business up to his neck; full of schemes for making vast amounts of money. He had not made any yet, but there had always been a plausible reason why the particular scheme be had been trying to put over had not succeeded. Gilbert had marked Roderick as his own and deferred to him. Alice detested Gilbert and told her sacle she was foing to marry Gerald. Her uaele #ai<? emphatically that she was not and she replied: "You just wait and see." When she had said "No" to Gerald upon his proposing, he had replied: "Say, old girl, you dont really mean that--do youT" To which she had answered: "Why, of coarse I dont, you silly. Only we have got to wait Uncle is dead set against you and is tooting for that Anderson person. But I'll be twentyfive in six months and my own mistress. Under the terms of father's will If I marry before I am twentyfive without uncle's consent, I forfeit my money, and I dont want to do that In six months you come and ask me again." This set Gerald to thinking. Six months was a long time to wait; but Alice was a level-headed girl and quite right to want to avoid sacrificing her fortune. When Gerald had turned twenty-one Roderick had called him Into his office and shown him a lot of figures, of which he comprehended only enough to know that tbey represented a considerable fortune, and he had insisted that the old man go on managing his affairs. The next day Gerald went to call opon Roderick McKesson. "Oh, you?" eaid Roderick, "what is it? Make It j Smith, short, I am busy." As a rule Gerald was a trifle loud In his dress; today he was attired soberly. His manner was generally a trifle frivolous; today he had an air of seriousness and suppressed energy. You would have spotted him anywhere for a business man accustomed to deal with Important questions. It was not for nothing that Gerald had been a star in amateur theatricals. "Sir," said he gravely, "I called to ask If you could not reconsider your objection to my marriage with your niece?" "No," roared Roderick, 1 never rtconsider." Gerald saw a large envelope lying on Roderick's desk in the upper lefthand corner of which was printed in large type, "The Agawunsk Finishing Company." "Have you--er--have you, If it is not an impertinent question, invested anything in that concern?" And he pointed to the envelope. "I have,1' snapped Roderick, "whatof it?" "Well," replied Gerald, "I have been taking rather an interest in business matters of late; especially new enterprises, and the Agawunsk company is a rather doubtful concern." "Nqpsense," cried Roderick, "they have contracts ahead for twenty years." "Yes," said Gerald, "and they show these contracts to lure Investors. The fact is they are losing two cents a yard on every yard of cloth they finish." "I am too busy to talk further with you today," laid Roderick. The old man got exceedingly busy after Gerald left, calling up credit concerns and financial men who kept well informed of all that was going on. Roderick himself had been rather "out of it" for some years, jogging along in old ruts. He had been lured into the Agawunsk scheme by Gilbert Anderson--and he had invested ten thousand dollars of Gerald Cuthbert's„jjjoney in the concern. "When the old mah had finished his Investigations he had a grim look. The first thing he did was to transfer the Agawunsk bonds to his own account and deposit a certified check.for ten thousand to the account of Gerald. "The young whippersnapper has business ability after all," he grudgingly thought. As a matter of fact Gerald was so Intensely jealous of Gilbert Anderson that he kept his ears open for anything concerning him. Having overheard two business men mention Gilbert's name at the club in a slighting manner he had taken one of them aside, demanding further information. And it had taken Lester Craddock an hour and a half to get through Gerald's head a full comprehension of the status of the Agawunsk company. "Alice," said Roderick to his niece that night, "young Cuthbert is getting to be quite a business man. 1 have changed my opinion of him." "And he plays a rattling game of tennis," said Alice. Roderick frowned. "In spite of that," said he, "you might do worse than marry him." They were married, and the Agawunsk Finishing company blew up two months after their marriage. sad Ifrs.
