ROOT BUYS STOCK
IN WESTCOTT FIRM

Announcement was made today that
H. L. Ashley. general manager, Sec
rotary and treasurer of the Westcott
Motor Car company of this city, had
disposed of his stock in the concern
to Fl. G. Root of Springfield, O. Mr.
Ashley will sever his connection with
the company September l and Mr..
Root will succeed him.
Mr. Root, who is now in the city,
is an experienced automobile man and
for several years has been engaged in
the automobile accessory business in
Springfield.
Burton Westcott of Springfield, for
rnerly of this city, will continue as
president of the company and no other
changes will result from Mr. Ashley
retirement.
Mr.. Ashley, who has not been in the
best of health for some time, said
today that he would continue to make

eral years ago from Kokomo and is
one of the best known and most sue
CeSsful business men.

MARKETS
HOLD EVEN TREND
Only Local Conditions AZ
feet Prices of Vegetables
and Fruits.

The local markets have remained
steady despite the unrest existing In
some parts Of the United States due to
the war in Europe and very few
changes were observed In prices dur
ing the past week.
It is expected that II the war IL pro-
longed, prices on some classes of food
stuffs will mount skyward. The war
scare is expected to affect the prices
of canned goods, fish and meat, and
some Of the vegetables used in cam
ing. Not even suggestion OF unrest
has reached the local markets. The
grocery prices this week are practical
ly the same as last week and the
changes that have been made were ex-
pected as they were due to other con-
ditions.
Turnips are scare this year, accord
ing to the grocers. 1t is believed that
the dry weather has had its effect and
although the season has not opened
strong the reports from farmers indi-
cate that when turnips begin coming
in, they will be found of rather poor
quality and not plentiful. -
Garden Truck Scarce.
"The people of this community are
fortunate in getting any kind of vege-
tables" is the way one grocer put it
today in explaining the condition of
the gardens Of the country in the
neighborhood of Richmond. "The dry
weather has literally killed a large
part of the garden truck. 1t ia even
worse In some other parts of the coun-
try than 1t Is here and this makes it
all the worse for Richmond.
Pears are not plentiful and the same
is the case with apples. Practically all
of the apples that will be sold in the
local markets will be sent here from
northern Ohio and Michigan. Native
plums are also scarce. In some parts
of the country, however, this fruit is
plentiful so that the scarcity here will
not be felt as much as 1t would other
wise. Plums are now selling at from 10
to 12h cents quart. Most of these
come from California.
The scarcity of sweet corn this sea.
son has tended to keep the price at a
rather high figure compared with the
drop usually experienced at this time
in the season. Corn is now selling at
from Is to 20 cents per dozen.
Peach Supply Short.
While the peaches sold in the local
groceries are of good quality, the price
seems to remain the same as the sup
ed within the next few weeks. The
peaches raised near Richmond will be
Of poor quality, as will most of the 9th.
er fruit this year. When Michigan
fruit begins coming into the local mar.
ket, the price of fruit will probably
drop several points.
Tomatoes remain at 10 cents a
pound, which is particularly high for
this time of the year.
The quality of the watermelons is
better than ever before and as a con.
sequence, more watermelons are being
sold than in any previous year in the
history of the city. The price, how.
ever, has not dropped to any great ex.
tent, the melons selling at from rs to
so cents, according to the size. They
are especially sweet, the home grown
product excelling the products brought
from the south.

my country's call to arms most cnee1-
fully" exclaimed Alfred Norris lieu
tenant in the English navy reserve
who arrived here yesterday from
Grand Rapids, his home In recent
years, and left last evening 1or ne"
York He spoke calmly, but tnere
was a ring in his voice and his eyes
flashed.
mo Englishman is responding to his
country's call with reluctance. we
have entered this war with the IeeF
ing that right and justice are on our
side. Our government did everything
TO avoid war but our peace proposals
were spurned and we were challenged
to battle by Germany when Its army
invaded Belgium, the neutral bu11er
state which has stood between us ana
our great military neighbor. So there
was no other thing for us to do than
to plunge into this CHASTITY, barbara
Armaggedon and fight for the father
land with the same fury as we re-
the power of Napoleon.
English Not Agsressors.
1--WE Englishmen are not the aggres-
sors in this horrible war. We are
fighting for our homes-we are fight.
ing for that priceless liberty which all
we nglo-Saxons hold more valuable
than anything else. I feel that the
sympathy of our American cousins VIII
go out to us in the crisis, and they
can rest assured that the men OF their
race will once more give as good &C.
count Of themselves in war as we
Anglo Saxons have in spreading civil
ization throughout the globe and In
practicing the arts of peace.
1--WE have been reluctant to make
war but now that it has been thrust
upon us our swords will not be
sheathed until Germany has been beat
en- to her knees and the power of its
war lord broken forever. Then, and
not until then, we may look for the
dawn of universal peace. Its cost
comes high but it must be paid. God
grant that this great republic does not
have to take a hand in the struggle"
Lieutenant Norris says there are
several English ships in New York
ready to return reservists to England
and he anticipates he will be assign
ed to duty as an officer on one of the
converted cruisers now at New York.
They are to be used first as trans
ports for reservists and then to sweep
German commerce off the seas, he
says.

AINA0kNOA AunA06VA Va SAO !. Az. ~
LONDON. Aug. beyond the fact
that the German forces attacking
Liege have suffered terrific losses,
the actual situation in and around the
besieged Belgian city is a puzzle to
military experts this evening.
Conflicting reports were received
here late in the day. The International
News Service correspondent at Brus-
sells stated that $4,000 Germans at
tackled Lfege this afternoon and pene-
trated Bressoux, a suburb, after Grip
ping Fort Fleroni. A Paris despatch
said an official message received there
stated that the Germans had entered
Liege. The existing things were COM
plicated by reports from Brussels that
the Germans had asked for an armis-
tice and admitted the loss of $4,000
men. An earlier despatch from the In
ternational News Service correspond
ent gave German losses as $4,000. He
had been informed to send only reports
as to losses and it is believed that his
figures are therefore nearer correct
than those given by the exchange tele-
graph. There is vast interest here in
the Liege battle. And scenes of frantic
enthusiasm were witnessed outside
the London newspaper Offices when a
bulletin was posted telling of tremen-
dous losses by the Germans.

MAYOR STANDS PAT
ON LIGHT QUESTION
Declares Property Owners
Must Pay Additional to Get
Ornamental Poles.

II property owners are willing to
pay for the poles the ornamental light
ing system favored by 30 per cent Of
the business meR will be installed.
Mayor Robbins announced today
that il resident property owners In the
business districts desired to petition
for the ornamental-conduit system the
board would act promptly In the mat
ter, but he said such q petition would
have to be- filed by August II, for on
that date the contract for street lamps
was to be let. II no petition 10 filed
within the next ten days then the
board will contract for the installation
of tie trolley pole bracket system on
Main street, North e street and Fl.
Wayne Ave.
THE city cannot afford itself to put
in the ornamental pole system nor
can it inaugurate proceedings to have
such a system installed under the pub
lie improvement act. These proceed
ings, as is customary, must originate
with the benefited resident property
owners and II they want the proposed
system very bad they can easily ar.
range to submit a petition in ten days
time. AS l have said before the city
stands willing to contribute toward
such a system the same amount 1t
would expend for the bracket system.
The property owners, resident and
nonresident, must meet the additional
cost. II such petition is filed and
successfully demonstrated against.
then the matter will be taken to coun-
Gill;"
That was Mayor Robbins final state.
ment on the street lighting question.
Out Of 269 replies, eight we're non
commital, twenty-nine favored brack.
cts from the trolley poles and 232 IA
vored the ornamental poles.
Almost all of the replies were from
the leading men in the city. The pro-
portion in all cases was the same. one
rest wanted the ornamental poles.
Replies in favor of the ornamental
poles were emphatic. Many answered
trolley pole brackets?" with mo!
MOI" Others UNDERSIGNED their replies
and some used different colored ink
Notes were appended calling the
brackets clumsy and unsightly.
In order to settle the matter conclu.
sively, it is probable that another poll
will be taken and the men who are at
fected will be asked for q definite Of
fetal answer to the question. Twill
you pay the difference between the
cost of the installation of the brack.
ct system and that of the ornamental
pole SYSTEM"
1t is the answer to this question on
which the board Of works and Mayor
Robbins will hinge their future &C
lions.
The Commercial club committee on
public improvements which has con.
Quoted the investigation, will make an
other effort to bring about the install.
lation of the ornamental poles. After
the conference with Mayor Robbins to-
day after which he announced his in.
tention of adhering closely to the pol.
icy in the message to council, it was
decided to go over the matter carefully
again and meet with the board later.
