THE ARGONNE Soviet Russia Joins in Search for the Italia BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE. Soviet Russia joined hands with Norway and Italy today in the search for the missing polar exploration expedition headed by Gen. Umberto Nobile. The Moscow war department organized relief measures. An ice breaker and seaplane are reported to have left Archangel to comb the bleak and des.

olate Siberian coast. Italian Alpine Chasseurs, under leadership of a Norwegian" guide, were landed from the supply ship Citta di Milano to search the northern coast of Spitzbergen and adjacent ice floes for the missing Italia. A Norwegian seaplane will soon take off from King's Bay to scout the Arctic sea. The report that the captain of the Milano had received a fragmentary message from a whaler, indicating that -the Italia may have landed on Amsterdam Island or the nearby ice field, is not yet confirmed. It is generally discredited.

It has now been more than five days since the last word reached civilization from the exploration balloon. Stormy weather continues over the Arctic. So gigantic was the mountain of ice piled up around the Milano that it could not approach Amsterdam Island, and the captain reported his determination to return to King's Bay for fear his ship would be ground to pieces. HOPES FOR REOPENING OF BANK AT MOWEAQUA Moweaqua, May are entertained that some way will be found in the near future to re-open the First National Bank of Moweaqua, now in the hands of a national bank examiner. A meeting of directors and stockholders was held Monday afternoon and it was from this meeting, as well as from outside work that has been in progress during the last few days the encouragement comes.

It is authentically stated that of the notes held by the bank, $65,000 are classed as $33,000 as "doubtful" and $114,000 as "slow." Much of these amounts could be realized upon in time, it is said, and if a sufficient amount, something like $50,000, could be raised in the meantime, the bank might be re-opened and the ultimate losses be greatly minimized. ELECTRIC SERVICE FOR PEOPLE OF WILLOW HILL Newton, May Public Service Company has had a force of men at Willow HIM for several days installing a new generator to give electric service to the people there. The plant, which was purchased from the village last fall, has recently failed: The company has been using a five kilowatt generator driven by Ford motor and is preparing to put a fifteen kilowatt generator and a gasoline engine into use.

HUTCHINSON. (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) Washington, May 30.

The annual exodus of legislators, following the adJournment of congress, was well under way today with political leaders turning from the task of making laws to that of drafting platforms and electing nominees at the approaching national political conventions. The record of the first session, seventieth congress, will be used by leaders of both parties in writing their platforms and in conducting their presidential campaigns next fall. Indeed, the campaigns may be fought out on the very issues raised in senate and house during the five months' session just ended. What G. 0.

P. Is Proud of. The Republicans pointed to enactment of legislation to control Mississippi river flood waters, to develop great American merchant marine, to reduce federal taxation by 000, to extension of the Mississippi river barge lines, among thousands of bills, and to the record of the famous Boulder Dam bill, enacted in the house and pending in the senate. The Democrats pointed to President Coolidge's veto of farm relief legislation, which the senate sustained, his apparent "picket veto" of the great Muscle Shoals development bill and to the record of senatorial investigations. Two high spots of the senate inquiries, which the Democrats planned to use politically, were revelations that the Republican party, received 000 of the Continental Trading Company's oil -smeared Liberty Bonds through the hands of Harry P.

Sinclair and to the attitude of Republican leaders in handling those bonds. The Democrats also intended to talk about the exclusion of Senator-elect William B. Vare, of Pennsylvania, and Frank L. Smith, of Illinois, both Republicans, for use of "slush funds" in their campaigns. Congress went home weary and tired from battling over the 'Boulder Dam bill and facing just as desperate fight next fall.

The bill was made the unfinished business" of the senate for the December sessions, thus virtually insuring its enactment next winter. It passed the house last week and all indications point to its overwhelming adoption whenever the senate reaches a vote. Senators Hiram W. Johnson, Republican, of California, and Henry F. Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, opposing leaders in the filibuster that blocked action on- the bill this session, both gained by their parliamentary achievements.

Johnson won the greater popular acclaim, the senate yesterday afternoon giving him a tremendous ovation. Ashurst, was congratulated on all sides, even by his opponents, for the way in which he conducted the successful filibuster. Johnson kept the bill before the senate and helped to have it enacted in the house. He predicted victory in the senate next year. One other man gained approbation during the session just ended -Vice President Charles G.

Dawes. Just as the senate adjourned it gave him a arising ovation of cheers and applause after Senator Johnson had paid him magnificent tribute. The California senator complimented the vice presldent.on his "fairness, impartiality, ability and courage" and senators cheered the tribute like schoolboys. Dawes blushed modestly. This came in decided contrast to the vice president's inauguration, in which he publicly rebuked the senate on its "archaic rules," suggested reforms and won himself condemnation among the veteran islators.

ITALY SENDS NEW NOTE TO THE JUGOSLAVIANS Belgrade, May new note, protesting against the government's failure to take effective counter measures to check the -Italian demonstrations, was handed to the Jugoslavian government by the Italian minister. King Alexander hastily returned from vacation and summoned a cabinet council to discuss the Italian note. a Italy is demanding punishment of officials" and reserves the right to take further action. BARN AND CONTENTS ON JASPER FARM DESTROYED Newton, May Ayers' barn and its contents were destroyed by fire last week. The loss is estimated at $2000.

No livestock perished. The Ayers, farm is a half mile west of Bellair. The fire was caused by the overheated engine of an automobile. The car was driven into the barn about 1:30 o'clock a. m.

When the motor was turned off it was noticed the -carburetor was on fire. Efforts were made to put the fire out but the gasoline tank exploded, and the flames spread beyond control. There were three automobiles, hay, corn and oats and harness in the para. Editorial I Time has a way of healing things and making sharp, outlines less harsh. The slopes of cemetery ridge, outside the town of Gettysburg, grass-grown and peaceful.

Vicksburg is surrounded by smiling, green parkway. The woods of Virginia's wilderness are as quiet as they were before the white men came, and there are no ruined farmhouses or burned barns between Atlanta a and the sea. The Civil War has slipped far back into the past. But today, as on' every 30th of May, we call it back again; not in all its red, ugly horror, as a rather picturesque, heroic, tic memory. We do this, we say, in order to pay homage to the men who fought.

With it we conjure up scenes from other wars; names like El Caney, Santiago and Manila Bay, somewhat overshadowed of recent years by such words as Cantigny, Belleau Wood and Montfaucon. our reverence to these things seems to be rather a surface matter. We watch the parades and listen to the bands and the orators today; but tomorrow we put it all away and resume the daily routine. Memorial Day stands out to most of us, it is to be suspected, more as a day on which we do not have to work than as solemn time of remembrance and consecration. We need to recapture the solemnity of the original Decoration Day.

Perhaps we could do it by bringing back in all their ghastly horror the war scenes that we talk about so glibly today. We speak of Gettysburg, for instance and our minds picture the splendid pageant of Pickett's charge. But a man who fought at Gettysburg could give us a dif. ferent picture. He could show us men disemboweled, torn asunder, trampled underfoot, run through with bayonets, smashed to fragments in that "splendid cant;" and if we could see the picture as he sees it we, might put more spirit into our observance of the day.

For the day's real significance lies in the fact that a great many thousands of men have given up their lives for the sake of that red, white and blue symbol that heads today's parades. They surrendered their youth, their hopes, their dreams, to die before their time; and they did it for a great ideal. All of the horror, all of the agony, of those battles are part of the price that was paid for the country we have today. and tears and sorrow and pain help: ed buy the peace and prosperity of Decoration Day, 1928. What should we do, then? Chiefly, we could make our triotism a little deeper and broader.

We could do it by remembering the sacrifices that this day commemorates; by reminding ourselves that our heritage, as Americans, was dearly bought. The freedom and happiness we have today did not come by chance. They cost a great price. We must maintain them. We must be worthy of them.

ST. LOUIS FIRM HAS $600,000 FIRE LOSS St. Louis, May -Fire starting in the rear of 8 five-story woman's ready-to-wear store in the heart of the business district here last night, was brought under control today after it had destroyed the building and contents with a loss estimated at more than $600,000. None was inJured. Besides the store, known as Thomas W.

Garland, several adjoining buildings were damaged by fire and water. Thomas W. Garland, prestdent and treasurer of the store, stated, the loss of stock would total $500,000. Twenty-two fire companies were called to the blaze. It was estimated more than a 150 worked to check the flames.

TWELVE TEACHERS FOR NEWTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS Newton, May board of education of Newton Community High School voted to employ twelve teachers, one more than last year, to care for the increased enrollment which is expected for next year. Harry Barnett of Pana was tentatively hired to teach general science and coach athletics, but so far no one has been secured in the place of William M.

5-30 BOWER SCHULHOFF CO. MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS MADE BY PRESIDENT Exercises Held at Gettysburg, Historic Battleground. Gettysburg, May President journeyed from Washington today to give a Decoration Day address at the historic Gettysburg battle ground. The president was accompanied by a pumber of officials of the government and some intimate friends, making the trip in a special train. The address of the presldent was delivered a at two o'clock in the presence of a large gathering.

The president's address in part follows: "This returning Decoration Day brings our entire nation in reverence and respect to the graves of our departed soldiers. Each year their number has increased, as that long blue line which stood so valiantly for the cause of the union has grown thinner and thinner, until today it has almost vanished from earthly view. "We do' not come to lament, but to give thanks. With one acclaim the people bestow upon them all that divine salutation, 'Well done, thou good and faithful "To express our devotion we have come to the field of Gettysburg. It ranks as one of the great historic battle grounds of this continent.

In the magnitude of its importance it compares with the Plains of Abraham, with Saratoga, and with Yorktown. It is associated with a great battle between the Union and Confederate forces and with one of the greatest addresses ever delivered by one of the greatest men ever in the world, Abraham Lincoln. "The respect in which the United States holds its service men is indicated by something more substantial than lip service. Between 000 and $7,000,000,000 have gone out of the United States Treasury in pensions and gratuities to those who fought in that war which reached its crest upon this hard-fought field. These payments are still going on at the rate of about $200,000,000 each year.

To the account of those took part in: the World War, for benefits and compensations in the short period of 10 years since its close already there has been set aside almost $5,000,000,000, and payments are going on at the rate of about $560,000,000 each year. Our peopie do something more for their service men and their dependents besides giving them a kind word. while they live and placing a wreath on their last resting place when they are gone. None Other Does So Much. "All the countries on earth in all their history, all put together, have not done as much for those who have fought in their behalf as our country alone has done in the past 50 years.

Our appreciation and our devotion is evidenced by something more than tributes and monuments and yearly assemblages devoted to their praise. "While making these tremendous expenditures for the benefit of those who have seen military service, our country at the same time is making outlays in excess of those ever before made in time of peace for the purpose of national defense. Yet our military force is exceedingly moderate. "While we are maintaining these moderate forces, we are especially anxtous for world to know that they are purely for defensive purposes and to promote general peace and tranquillity. No other nation has anything which we would think of taking by force.

Our restrictive immigration law is a declaration of national policy against the acquisition of the territory of any foreign people. Great Power in Happiness. "The strength of this nation, however, is not expressed merely in terms of an army and navy. A yet greater power is derived from the happiness and contentment of the people. "But to the contentment and patriotism of the people there must be added the resources that are derived from prosperous industry, agriculture, and commerce.

Good credit, which is derived from sound financial conditions, is the principal foundation of national defense. That country which has so ordered its finances as to be in a position to furnish the largest amount of money will always be in the best position to protect itself. Reduction of our 'national debt, permitting a reduction of taxes which stimulates private enterprise and increases our credit, is an important addition to our national strength.

FARM MEASURE TO CONGRESS IN DECEMBER Renewed Effort to Send It Over Coolidge Veto," Says Haugen.

BY WILLIAM S. NEAL. (I. N. S.

Staff Correspondent.) Washington, May McNaryHaugen farm relief bill will be laid on the doorstep of congress next December. This announcement was made today by Representative Haugen, co-author of the measure and chairman of the house agriculture committee. The bill will be introduced just as it passed the house and was vetoed, he said. "The fight will go right on, and the bill undoubtedly will be passed over the president's veto next winter," said Haugen. Bill Gains Strength.

"When we started in on this legislation and got it to a vote in the house four years ago, there was a majority of seventy-three against it. In the present session there was a majority of eighty-three for it on passage and eighty-eight on the conference report. "The majority has been steadily creeping up the last two years, as the farmers are better educated to the real meaning of the measure, as opponents of farm relief are defeated for congrss and friends of the farmer elected. "While the same congress will return next winter, I am confident that the growing sentiment for the bill which changed many votes this session will change votes in the next." Denies Charges. Haugen denied the charges of Representative Williams, Republican, of Illinois, that the equalization fee was the part in the bill under pressure of the "farm lobby" and politics.

In a speech as bitter as the presidential veto of the bill, Williams declared that 14 of the 21 members of the house agriculture committee had informally agreed to kill the equalization but capitulated to the "farm lobby" and political desire "to put Coolidge in The Illinois member, who voted for the bill after he failed in his antiequalization tee fight, declared that an overwhelming majority of congress was ready to pass a bill which president would sign until the "farm lobby" and Democratic political leaders decided otherwise. Despite many rumors that President Coolidge would send a farm relief plan to congress after his veto, the session adjourned without further word from the white house. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, it is understood, will. continue to advocate his co-operative marketing bill. HOPES DIMMED FOR RESCUE OF LOST ITALIA Bad Weather Blocks All Progress of Relief Expeditions.

BULLETIN. London, May 0-Balke by storm and ice in the effort to land a searching party upon Amsterdam Island to hunt for the missing Nobile expedition, the supply ship Citta di Milano returned today to King's Bay, said a Central News dispatch from King's Bay this afternoon. Violent storms continue to rage over the Aretic. The commander of the supply ship feared that his vessel would be ground to pieces by the gigantic ice floes if he remained on the north coast of Spitzbergen. Consequently he returned to King's Bay as a safety measure.

London, May for the rescue of the Italia and her brave crew were dimmed today as inclement weather continued in the Arctic regions. Relief expeditions continued to work with undiminished vigor but small hope was held that the weather would permit much progress in the search. The Citta di Milano, now at Magdalena Bay, faces the danger of being broken by the pressure of ice-floes which hem it in and the supply ship may be forced to abandon its search for the Italia and turn back to King's Bay, a Central' News dispatch from the base stated today. Four parties of Italian Alpinieri have been dispatched to search for the Italia under the leadership of experienced Norwegian guides, the Central News dispatches added. Scour Spitzbergen Coast.

The Italians plan to scour the north coast of Spitzbergen, where the Italia was believed to have been when its radio ominously became silent. They will concentrate in their search upon the mountainous region about Mossel Bay. Dispatches from Leningrad state that the Soviet government has sent the ice-breaker Abo northward from Archangel to aid in the search for the lost dirigible. The Abo carries a seaplane aboard, the dispatches stated. The seaplane will conduct the search over a sweeping radius when the ice-breaker has reached the edge of the ice-pack.

Gloom has settled over the Italia's base at King's Little optimism was felt regarding the efforts of the rescue expeditions. Thousands of miles of Arctic wastes must be scoured as the rescuers are in danger of being destroyed by, the powerful gales which sweep up, suddenly and often in the Arctic regions.
