Why. may he permitted to ask,
does Colonel Wattcrson 'whoop

being hurled against German civtliz-

IL it comes to question of German
rule or Russian misrulc can there be

Adam Minnich Commits
Suicide.

Dependency due to continued
illness caused Adam Munich, a
retired farmer, to commit suicide
Wednesday morning at his home
in Trotwood. He hung himself
in a barn in the rear of his home.
Minnich was one of the best
known residents of the county
and had retired from active work
several years ago. While Mrs.
Minnich was entertaining a
neighbor at her home Wednes-
day morning, her husband left
the house presumably to look af-
ter some chickens. When he
failed to return in a reasonable
length Of time, Mrs. Mlnnlch
went to the barn and found the
body suspended from a ratter.
Minnich leaves besides his widow,
the following children. Dean
tMinnich, of Miami University,
Ira Minnicb, West Milton, Rev.
Granville Minnich, GreenYille, 5.
E. Minnich, Arcanum.
He was 70 years old April 9Th.
For more than 40 years he had
been associated with all the in
terests of the DunIard church at
Trotwood, serving on the gener-
al church board for years. Much
of the money collected for the
building If the old folks home at
GreenviIle was collected by him.

Delightful Southern
Story. ...

Our new serial story, The
Valiants of Virginia, is a charm
ing Southern story, by Halle En-
mimic Rives. There is no divorce
element, no unhappy marriages,
but healthy Americanism and
sturdy vitality. Above all else,
it is a pure love story, notable
for its fine, clean sentiment and
its appreciation of the beauties
of nature.
In making arrangements fol
the exclusive rights to print this
story in this locality, we feel SURE
that we have selected a stor!
that will appeal to all our read
ers, young and old. Watch TO

if any, are meeting fixed expen-

Tariff reductions are largely
responsible for this. There are
other contributing factors, of
course. Within the past few
months the tariff changes have
been overlooked by the country
in general but their effect is now
being felt. Naturally some time
would be required for foreign
steel makers to prepare for cCm-

their selling agencies are now at
work and foreigners are reach
