WASHINGTON (NBA Special)
Holifiuy whoppers In the capital
paused with more hollduy interest
before one of the downtown candy
shops. The' crowd quickly brew
until it approached tho dimensions
of a blockude.
Still, there didn't seem to be
any unusual diHpltiy of sweets In
the window, whut, then, was at
tracting all the attention?
It wasn't the array of candies,
nor any part of the exhibit beyond
the plate glass window; that was
responsible. -
Tho center of interest was a
Blender, sandy-haired man . who
wae looking in tho window.
Ho couldn't bo wholly oblivious
of the circle of curious folk around
him, but ho seemed to be center
ing his interest in a survey of the
goodies before him, particularly
on some large slabs of Vermont
maple sugar that had a conspicu
ous part In the display.. - -
Doubtless that maple sugar was
responsible. It must have recalled
to him the busy days back in the
old maple lot when ho "sugared
off" Just such slabs of sweetness
from tho Bap ho hlmsolf had toted
down to the sugar shed.
Vor the man ut thd window, the
cause of the crowd, was prob
ably you've guessed it already
none other than the erstwhile Ves
mont farm boy. Calvin Coolldgc,
now president of the United States.
. Senator Pat Harrison, Demo
era tic key-noter and bold politician
who thinks nothing of batting He
publican senators in their own
stronghold, lost his courage com
pletely the other night at ft dem
onstration of legerdemain given at
the National Press Club by a fa
mous magician.
One of the wizard's bent tricks
is the apparent sawing In two of a
live anil lovely lady.
Tho lady had composed herself
tn a trunk, with tier head project
Ing at one end and her feet ut the
other, when tho master of cere
monies asked for volunteers to
hold her head and foot so the au
dience could be sure there was no
deception. . .

The explosion wrecked the stairs

The explosion In the city build
ing occurred at 8 o'clock. At il:'4f
another bomb was exploded at the
residence of County Judge Miller,
who with his wife and two chil
dren was asleep In rooms oii -the
second floor. The house was
wrecked and n hole torn In the
foundation or the building, but the
occupantH were 'unhurt, although
covered with broken glaas anl
plaster.
Judge Miller has been active
against booth-Kgers this fall. lie
cently he sentenced a. man to 80ft
days In jail and a fino of $500. Af
ter the two bombings, klansmen
and other clttxens patrolled the

Optimism in Agricultural
Conditions Expressed
by Roger Babson,, Sta
tistician. .
BABRON PARK, Mass. (Special
to the Observer) "What was the
most significant development of
1024 so far as business is con
cerned?" Tho question, put to
day to Roger W. Bubson, the stat- :
1st a clan, brought an Immediato
answer outlining the recovery of
the farmer and the effect this re- j
covery may have on business dur
ing 1026. ;
"The year 1921 marked n de
cided 'change hi the position of
the American farmer," sas Mr.
Bubson. "As wo enter he
is better ofr than he has been at
any time since 1010. Two main
factors have contributed to this
improvement; first and foremost
has been the rap 11 and substan
tial recovery In the price f.int
he receives for his products and
second, tho trend of tttoae non
agricultural commodities wldch
he buys has been downward. ,
"The year corn crop totaled 2,
436,000,000 bushels a decided
decrease from the 1023 crop, and
it is also substantially under, the
average, output. However, tbe tre
mendous jump in prices, which
amounted to ovor 60 par. cwirit from
the low of this year more than
offsets the decline In production,
