She sank to the floor. I went into the bed-room of my father-in- law, who is partially paralyzed. He » could not move, so I just hit him over the head three times. The baby was lying in its crib. I hit it over the , head and it never knew what hap- pened.

This exceeds by several billions of dollars the total balance in favor of the | United. States from 1875 to 1914. Department of commerce figures to- | Strikes Baby Over Head With! LOUIS the American stage. Washington, June 28—Although the; stat department might not say so of- ficially, there has been intervention; in Mexico, and what's more, Mexico | likes it. Americans have sent plenty of ammunition for this intervention,! and it has found no difficulty in get-| ting across the Mexican border, for it| consisted of baseballs, not cannon balls—bats, not bullets. The American national sport—base- ball—has. won a conquest of Mexico, declares Captain Sherburne Hopkins, legal representative here of the Obre- gon government. It has driven the habit of bull fights into oblivion. Bullfights in Mexico,’ according to Don Manuel Telles, of the Mexican em- bassy, were a habit, not a sport. They have had no official sanction for years, and- Madero abolished them entirely. If one was staged occasionally along the border for curious Americans, it repfe- day show that the trade balance made in favor of the United States in the |, fiscal year ending in 1914, one month before the war began, was only $470,- 000,000. During the first year of the war it was $1,094,419,600, and in the next year ending June 30, 1916, it was $2,135,599.375. During the succeeding year the total was $3,530,693,209, Meantime the United States had entered the struggle, and in the year ending June 30, 1918—the first full fiscal year of America’s participation— the balance was only $2,974,055,973. In the next year, ending last June 30, however, it was $4,136,562.618. Record Set this Year. During the first eleven months of this fiscal year the balance was only $2,788,451,602, but exports were larger in those eleven months than in any other full fiscal year in the Nation’s history, totalling $7,474,193,349, as against the previous twelve months’ record of $7,232,282,696 made during the last fiscal year. At the same time that America’s export trade began to advance by leaps and bounds the import trade also showed an enormous increase, totalling $2,917. 510 in the year end- ing June 30, 1916, and advancing stead- : ily each year to a new high record of $4,685,741,747, during. the eleven months of the present fiscal year. The previous high record was $3,095,720,- 068 last year. Most of the favorable trade bal- ance of the United States has been against the Allied and neutral coun- tries of Europe. Many of the South American and North American coun- tries and some of those in the Far East have a balance against the Unit- ed. States. NEW CURRENCY AIDS AUSTRIA AFTER PANIC Vienna, June 28.—With the rapid is- sue of new currency, the country is recovering from the panic that fol- lowed the discovery that _enormous amounts of 1,000 and 10,000 crown notes were in circulation with forged | overstamps. As there is no note between the de- * nominations of 100 and 1,000 or be- tween 1,000 and 10,000, business be- came completely paralyzed when the forgeries were discovéred. No one would accept the large notes. The ho- tels and banks in taking them from clients took the number of the note .and entered it against the giver's name. The 50 and 100 crown notes goon gave out and business was done with tens and twenties. The govern- ment redeemed the forgeries around seventy. About 6.000,000,000 crows of new1,- 000 and 10,00 crown notes will be is- sued to retire the old ones.

Heretofore such in- struction has been based on the old and new testaments. The new plan, which was evolved vy teachers of Meiningen and recent- ly endorsed by the teachers associa. tion of Thuringen, where protestants are in the majority, would do away with Bible study. Instead, children during. their first four years in school would be instructed in German fairy- tales and myths, Robinson Crusoe and the history of the child Jesus. In the last four years the instruc- tion would have to do with the wor- ship of God by ancient people, the: life and teachings of Jesus, and the} worship of God in Germany. More and more,: the Thuringia teachers agreed, German myths and poetry should replace in the schools the old testament. “By no stretch of the imagination,” comments Germania, the organ of the ‘Center (Catholic party, “can this bo called religious instruction. thoroughly in accord with the well-! known tendencies of radical teachers. Catholics must follow this movement | with close attention, for it threatens | to invade their own schools.” WEALTHY DANES ON SHIP CREW New York, “June 28.— More than 150 Danish bankers, doctors, lawyers, teachers and farmers were enrolled | among (he engine and Aleck crews of : the Scandinavian-American steamship day from the strike-bound port of Cop- enhagen, the first vessel of the line to reach the United States months.

For two years this stirring comedy by Samuel Shipman and Aaron Hoffman has been the most emphatic dramatic success of It has also enjoyed extraordinary success in England and Australia. Mr. Mann and “Friendly Enemies” comes to this city following a record-breaking run of sixty-nine weeks in New York City, fifty-two of which were played in successive performances at the Hudson Theatre. “BASEBALL INTERVENTION” MAKES HiT WITH MEXICAN SPORTS SAYS STATE DEPARTMENT REPORT Vera Cruz and Mexico City, and scores ‘of the smaller towns have-their sand- lot teams. These cities and others big league games the same as we do here. A new spirit. of fair play, it is de- clared, is being developed by the tre- mendous popularity of baseball in Mex- ico. Bull fighters were an inheritance from Spain. Mexican students in American col- leges have caught the spirit of Ameri- ca's national sport, with its standards of conduct, have approved and carried the game back home. Bull fighting in Mexico is no longer looked: upon as a sport, and it is even said to be dying in Spain. It was a relic of Roman. days when prisoners were cast to th lions. “The bull never had a chance; it was one-sided from the start. “But baseball! That is one fine sport we learned in America,” say the Mexican baseball fans. “That is the kind of intervention to introduce.” FARM BUREAU TO HALT ORGANIZING FOR THE SUMMER The organization committee of the Farm Bureau met last week in the office of the county agent G. W. Gus- tafson and transacted business. It was decided not to call the organ- izing community together now for tho purpose of putting the bureau on a stronger basis until later in the year. This action was decided upon after the more conservative members asked to wait uritil the extent of damage from grasshoppers can be estimated. It was decided, however, to publish each month the Farm Bureau News under the direction of the organiza- tion which is published by County Agent Gustafson and Home Demon- stration Agent Miss Elsie Stark. sin Raia a INDIANS SUSPEND WORK IN PROTEST AGAINST BRITISH London, June 28.—Advices from many parts of ‘India tell of the im- pressive observance of the “hartal”, or cessation of business, as a protest against the government’ policy toward India. At a gathering in Bombay it was declared in resolutions that. this was. the most serious situation in the: history of India. At meetings held at different cen- ters, Hindus, Muslems, Parsees, Sun- nis and Shias all joined: in prayers and resolutions. In Bombay all Hin- du, Moslems and Parsee shops. were closed. The loss from: the voluntary clos- ing is estimated by millions of pounds sterling. The Bombay Chronicle stated: “Never before in the history of Bombay has such a complete ces3- sation of work been recorded. The Advocate of India said: “It cannot be denied that the Khilafat question has been made a national one in In- dia and the Muslems are receiving almost undnimous support from: all sister communities.” At a conference held at Fyzabad a resolution was passed proposing, tha: the visi b Frederick VIII which arrived here. to-| ¢, "iit of the Prince of, Wales, be postponed until ‘Moslem religious de- mands regarding the Khilafat were in three i Satisfied. , \ i SEN. LA FOLLETTE OUT OF HOSPITAL ee ‘BAND IS IN NEED! (OF SUPPORT FOR, PUBLIC CONCERTS jE. H. Weber Outlines Needs of Organization: ‘Which is At- taining Reputation The Elks’ 26-piece band must have financial assistance from the city of wismarck, if it expects any band concerts this, summer. said E. H. Weber today, outlining the band's fi-| nancial. position, " :The concert which was given last February enabled, the band to meet its current. expenses, such as paying the band leader and incidental ex- penses,” he_ said. , The band boys receive no renumera- tion or in gny other way. are ben- efitted by the regular rehearsals, which are necessary and which take their time. “The bands in- nearly all other towns of this size and smaller re- .] ceive regular appropriations from the city so that they can keep the band going. Our band, has. never received anything and every man in it has given his time and efforts to boost Pismarck and Bismarck's band but if no financial aid is given to the band it will shortly go. out of exist- ence, Spencer Boise, the band leader,. is now with the Shriners’ in Portland. He was formerly assistant director of the (Million Dollar band’ and. is a musician. equal ‘to the test: Wwost of the bands in towns .of the size: of Bismarck are’ maintained jointly: by band: associations and the city, Mr, Weber said. In this way a.band can be. organ. ized that will be a. credit to the city and enhance its reputation, he added. Open air concerts. given at ‘stated in- tervals. by a good band, would bring hundreds of visitors from neighbor- ing towns to Bismarck he said. The players. of such bands are paid for their rehearsals and for every ap- Pearance. Instruments and uniforms are provided by the band associations. The ‘Bismarck band. boys not only received nothing for rehearsals .ani very seldom anything for an appear- ance, but they furnish their own +1- struments, Mr. Weber said. “DAVIS BOOSTERS VERY MODEST IN te ' | | ALL “LITERATURE” | & - > San Francisco, June 28.—Among the supposedly: minor-booms that of Ambassador John W.

We have only 4,000 beds in Oberammer- a and these are now being used by borers at work ‘in the adjacent mourtaing To throw them out would start a riot.

Mr. Lang called attention to the fact that it would soon be difficult to give it at all if the tradition were not main- tained, since it was the one thing that prevented the young girls of Oberam- mergau from getting married, Maria Zwink, the daughter of Zwink-Judas, got married last winter as soon as she heard that the Passion Play would not be given this year.
