Judge W. W. Graves is forced to admit that his watermelon crop has proved a dismal failure. He did not expect to raise a bumper crop or overstock the market, but he did de- sire to demonstrate the fact that a man could raise watermelons where |. Tuesday of last week the patrons of the Tygard district met and voted for a new school house. Every one is rejoicing over this as the new building is needed.

There he will remain untilSuperior Judge Matthew Hutchinson renders his decision on the question of sus- taining or dismissing the habeas cor- pus writ, arguments on which were heard in chanibers. The decision may come to-morrow, but more probably on ‘Thursday. It was a day of alternate joy and de- pression for Thaw. At the opening of the hearing he faced anew and dangerous opponent in Aime Geof- friou of Quebec, a special emmisary from the Attorney General and Pre- mier of the Province, Sir Lomer Gouin. From his lips Thaw heard that the Attorney General was insistent that there be no delay in the case and that, the habeas corpus writ failing, other steps would be taken to insure Thaw’s release and seizure by the immigra- tion authorities. This would mean the start of the return trip to the asy- hundreds and hundreds of town boys pass daily and not lose any. His theory is yet to be demonstrated, for the reason that his melons have shriveled to such an extent that no intelligent boy would steal one. He would as soon think of stealing and eating a pumpkin. While the Judge will have to wait another year to establish his theory, and he is somewhat melancholy over the failure of his melons, yet heis re- joicing with a strong heart over the success he has had in raising chick- ens. Allofhis“‘settins’’ have done ex- ceedingly well, and he has the finest crop of young chickens in Cole coun- ty, which is saying considerable.— Jefferson City Democrat-Tribune. Foreign Soldiers Visit U. S. _ New Haven, Conn., Aug. 30.—For- eign soldiers, a regiment strong, marched through the streets of New Haven today. They madeuptheFor- lation at considerable length. Secretary Daniels discussed legis- He id: “The body of laws must grow to keep pace with human invention and progress. Congress at this session will put a law on the statute books to make impersonating another over the telephone a crime. Such a law was not dreamed of until the tele- phone was invented and not until the “Wolf’’ used the telephone to try to influence legislation. Nobody thought of an effective law to prevent lobby- ing until lobbying became a festering sore. “The increase of laws is due either to our complex life or to the need to restrain greed or evil. The fewer the laws that will carry out the de- crees of Jefferson and Lincoln the better. But in our day the cry of ‘Let us alone’ has come generally from men who were monopolizing i ” ea Crowd Cheers for Thaw From his counsel Thaw heard able arguments against writ; from them also he heard inef- fectual pleas for delay; from the crowd that packed the Courthouse and streamed over the lawn he heard cheers and shouts and words of en- couragement. He was _ nervous throughout the ordeal and returned to his cell tired out from the excite-| it ment.

Copyright 1919 The House of Kuppeaheimer Kuppenheimer and Style Plus FINE CLOTHES FOR MEN THE NEW FALL MODELS ARE ON DISPLAY Veh Ope COME AND SEE THEM -1876——THE DRESS-BETTER-AND-PAY-LESS CLOTHIERS——1913 Successful Meeting A Revival Meeting closed at the Mt. Olive Church on the Adrian Charge last Sunday night. Rev. Claud S. Hanby, pastor of the Ohio Street M. E. Church at Butler was the preacher. Twelve conversions are reported, six of the converts join- ing the church at the closing service. The intense heat, the dust, and the early corn cutting all conspired to defeat the meeting but there was a reasonable attendance notwithstand- ing. At the closing service the minister asked all who had been converted during the twentieth year or before to come to the platform. All other Christians were then requested to arise. The large majority of people converted while twenty years old or under was thus splendidly demon- strated. The minister made an earn- est appeal for the young to respond to the appeal of the Christ for as shown by the above demonstration, after that age the percentage of those who become Christians becomes smaller and smaller. The Rev. Carl Erdman is the pastor of the church where the meeting was held. He is to be congratulated on the loyalty of his people. Governor Praises Guards Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 30.— | Gov. Major returned from the en- campment of the National Guard at Nevada this morning. He reviewed the troops there yesterday. “The camp is the best the State troops have ever had,’’ said the Gov- ernor. ‘‘More men participating than ever before and they are being put through a course of instruction and drills that is bound to bring benefi- cial results to the rank and file. “T enjoyed my day with the sol- diers immensely and was sorry that I could not spend more time watch- ing their work. The camp ground is admirably adapted for the purpose and the camp itself thoroughly organ- ized. “The Missouri Guard looks so well drilled, disciplined and generally ef- fective that I would not be afraid to put it up against the entire Mexican Army.”’ City a at Mey of Big Fire Springfield, Mo., Aug. 30.—The menacing fire situation has caused the Municipal Government and_busi- ness clubs to call special meetings to consider emergency measures. Seven fires have occurred within the last twenty-four hours, the loss being estimated at $6,000. A confla- gration which would sweep the entire square could be occasioned by the dropping of amatch. Acres of va- cant lots covered with parched weeds add to the danger. There is no water pressure and no reserve water supply. A collision to- day of two fire engines, part of the new $40,000 equipment recently pur- chased, has put much needed appara- tus out of commission. Wilson Again With Family Windsor, Vt., Aug. 30.—President Wilson arrived here at 1:30 today and motored immediately to the summer White House at Cornish, N. H. The President, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Eleanor Wilson, their youngest daughter, were cheered as they step- ped from the train. Miss Jessie and Miss Margaret Wilson were at the station to meet them.
