Writes OF War Situation

Mrs. w. p. Baker formerly OF
Maine, now of Annawan, ILL.,, writes
us from her home in the Central West
a letter which plainly indicates a keen
interest in the European War situa-
tion. Among other matters she re-
fers to the Belgian situation, about
one third of the residents of Anne
wan, being people of that race Sic
speaks Of the wealth of some of these
people and says they are sending bu
comparatively small amounts to tn
aid OF their suffering country men.
one of he Belgians of Annewan has
lately returned to his native land and
claims that not one third part of the
country there has been devastated By
the war. He also claims hat con-
ditions there are not as bad as they
are represented here.
With Mrs. Bakers communication
came a letter previously published
from her niece, Miss Lula Eldridse
written from the seat of war. Miss
E%ldridge, who is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. James Eldridge of Neponset,
ILL.,, studied n year at oxford, Ena-
land and worked three years in the
University of Freiburg, Germany Tor
her degree. which she has received.
The public buildings in Freiburs,
where she now is, have been con-
verted into hospitals for the soldiers
and she assists in caring for them.
Her parents were former Maine peo-
pie and have many friends and rela-
tiyes in Somerset County. Miss Ell
bridges letter to the press is SPLEEN
didly written. Her views of the sub
ject appear to be that the fearful
tragedy is simply the realization OF
the schemes which England has been
fostering as she expresses it. ever
since the Germans built up their state
to a rival power. IF Russia said
the writer Had not been sure of Eng
fish support, the trouble would have
ended where it began. for the time

it was later performed in a loghouse
which was occupied by THE Royal
Mess" as the three bachelors who
lived in it called themselves. One OF
these bachelors was the bridegroom.
After the ceremony the mother OF the
bride observed: Mr.. Justice. you
have but half done your work" why
not?" he asked, surprised. why?
You have not pronounced them man

justice, who had never performed a
marriage ceremony before bade them
stand up again. and this time he
brought the service to a successful
conclusion.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

The valuation of the city OF Auburn.
made public by the Board of Asses
sors Wednesday is $40 565.372. an in
crease of $557.725 over the valuation
Of last year. While the valuation
has increased over half a million
dollars the number of polls has de-
creased nearly loo. The number of
polls in 1913 was 1919. This yea it
is 1927. A large part of the increase
in valuation is personal estate.
An amusing story is told of the first
campaign to introduce canned corn
into the English market. An Ameri-
can who was visiting in England was
somewhat surprised when the family
he was visiting informed him that
they could not see how the Americans
could become used to eating it, and
on inquiry was pleased TO learn that
the English family was using ii as a
cereal and had tried it in all sorts of
ways, even covering it with heavy
cream, and then 1t was not popular.
1t is stated that corn in cans now
shipped abroad bears a label announc-
ing that it is a vegetable and the pro-
per way to serve is to heat 1t and add
a little butter.

FOR HOME RULE

London, June 23.-The crisis in
connection with the granting of
home rule to Ireland entered anoth-
er stage today when the Marquis OF
Crewe, liberal leader in the House of
Lords. introduced a bill to amend the
Irish Home Rule bill.
The terms of the amending bill are
identical with those offered on March
. by Premier Asquith and contempt
uously refused by Sir Edward Carson,
the Irish unionist leader. who de-
scribed the Premier's proposal as
"hyporcial shame"
BY the new bill the parliamentary
electors of each county in Ulster are
to be allowed to decide by vote
whether the Couty shall be excluded
from the provisions of the Home
Rule bill for period of six years
from the first meeting of the new
Irish parliament.
The situation ha' never been par
alcllcd in parliamentary procedure

Defiance, started shortly after I
o'clock today in another preliminary
struggle to determine WHICH is to be

At the start the race was little

O'Clock Defiance came about the port
tack. vanitie crossed her bows. to
be crossed In turn by Resolute. This
gave the latter the lead. Resolute
then came up on the port tack. di-
rectly on Vanitie's weather quarter,
and for the first time the yatchsmen
were able to observe that the double
headed rig of the Resolute was prov
ing great advantage to her In light
air sailings.
The first leg of the yacht race
course lay to buoy off Shippan point
"a beat of 3-S miles; the second
leg carried the sloops to a buoy off
Center Island point-a reach of 3-s
miles: the third leg was another
reach of S ia miles to the starting
point. The course is to be sailed over
twice.
The yachts crossed the line in the
following order:

machine which made lurch over

empty. but formerly occupied by IA

Jones was w. II. Chapman. Neither
were injured and the only injury
done to the car was a punctured tire
and a bent spring and axle.

chine driven by Jones and the side
walk Jones suddenly swerved the
machine, which darted across the
sidewalk and into the front of the
vacant store building.
The only damage done to the store
front was that the upper section of
tile plate glass window was demol-
ished. The fact that one of the
springs struck the pillar which holds
up the front Of the building was the
only thing which saved Jones and
