by conducting her own case In court,
but she was fined SIS. Then. with a
friend. she called on a regular lawyer.
"Ah," said the regular lawyer, CIV
ing a guess at what his visitors want
ed. "She appealed and wants me to
defend her in the superior court"
But she didn't appeal. She paid
the fine"
Then where do / fit in the case?"
asked the attorney.
"We want you to bring suit against

cANADA'S HUGE GRAIN BINS


From the Port Arthur tcanada, Evening chrOnici.
Kansas City gains the attention OF
the New York Evening Post and IL
given five inches OF space in that ad-
mirable newspaper by reason of In
creasing the capacity OF a grain ele-
vator there. The Evening Post says:
When the additions and alterations
TO its huge grain elevator at Kansas
City now under way are completed the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain rail-
road will have one Of the largest
plants OF its kind in the world"
The present capacity OF the Kansas
City product is one million bushels.
When 1t gains its promised stature
and becomes lone OF the largest in
the world" il will have a capacity OF
2,133, 00J bushels.
At the mention Of grain elevators
prick up their ears and take notice.
The name of Lloyd-George at a Tory
garden party, or OF President Wilson
at a bankers convention catches at
tention no quicker than the word "ele-
vator" in the hearing OF a Port Arthur
Fort William man. Toronto prides
itself on it's churches; Pittsburgh
s~peciallzes on millionaires; Chicago
has it's pork and Boston its pork and
beans-as for US, we rise TO fame on
the bins of our elevators, and he who
says lone OF the largest" about any
old two-million-bushel outfit IN Mis-
souri, must withdraw the statement or
name the place and weapons.
II the Evening Post had said lone
Of the largest in Missouri" or in the
phrase had said some elevator" we
wouldn't have minded 1t so much, but
when it describes this stunted Mis-
souri, receptacle as "one Of the largest
grain elevators in the world" then Il
is time to kick. Why, two-million-
bushel elevators are so common here
abouts that the secretary of the board
of trade does not point them out to
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
show clearer than that what we think
Of two-million-bushel elevators.
When we have pointed to the $780,
000-bushel c. n. r. elevator and the
1900 000-bushel C. p. R.. elevator and
the $500, 000-bushel G.. T. p. elevator;
then to the $500, Oe0-bushel Dominion
Government elevator which is only
the first unit of what is [ o be a 30
million-bushel plant, by that time the
air is SO full of millions that the
listener would be annoyed IL we both
cred him with mention of a mere two
million-bushel affair. So we just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total Of 45-million-bushel capac-
ity already standing at the head OF
the lakes.
Upon the basis upon which Kansas
City got five inches Of space In the
Evening Post We claim a compliment
tary writeup of at least three columns
and in the article we would state that
in n respect we are like Kansas
City-when 1t is a question OF big ele.
vators We also are from Missouri

ONE ARMED GENERAL
Wins FRENCH GLORY
Gen. Pau Reported to Have De.
feated $4,000 Germans
France Making Preparations TO Move
Seat OF Government to Bordeaux
When Siege Comes.

London, Aug. 31.-Gen Paul Pau,
Frances hero since his victory over
the Germans at Muelhausen, Alsace,
dealt a hard blow to the Kaiser's army
in France today, according to a tele-
gram received from Antwerp by the
Reuter- Telegram Company. The tele-
gram gave no details, simply announc-
ing:
ut is reported here that Gen. Pau
has won a brilliant victory over So
600 Germans near Peronne, in the de-
partment of the Somme."
That a battle had been progressing
in the vicinity of Peronne all day
was known to the war Office here, but
the result had not been announced Of
fcially.
Peronne is about twenty miles west
of LaFere, which the Germans reach
ed yesterday after defeating the
French. 1t was said in a dispatch
from Amiens that the French engaged
at st. Quentin and LaFere were try
ing desperately to hold back the Ger
mans until Pau arrived with reinforce
ments.
Aside from the reported victory at
Peronne, the war news today contain
ed little to cheer the British. The
Germans were said to be advancing
steadily toward Paris and official an
nouncement was made that prepara-
tons were under way for the removal
Of the French capital from Paris to
Bordeaux. Foreign diplomats in Paris
were notified of this intention in or
der that they might make necessary
arrangements to move, too, if they
saw fit.
