Low DELINQUENCY
SHOWS PROSPERITY
IN PREbLE. COUNTY

EATON, O., July 24-The prosper.
ity Of Preble county farmers and citi-
zens generally Is shown by the fact
that when the tax books Of County
Treasurer Sharkey were closed there
existed a delinquency Of less than two
thousand dollars. In two or three
townships not a foot of ground is on
the delinquent list
The tax duplicate lists property to
the amount of $45,00O.00O, and the to.
tai collection annually is approximate
ly $4O5,0OO If all this wealth were
equally divided, each one OF the coun-
tvs $4,000 inhabitants would have
more than $1,7O0 for his share.
The greatest single days business
the office ever had was transacted
July 20, when Treasurer Sharkey and
Deputy Hunter collected taxes totaling
$49,S95.S1. The system employed by
Treasurer Sharkey has been recon-
mended for use in other counties by
several accountants of the state bu.
reau.

RAILROADS. REPORT
BUSINESS INCREASE

Slight increases In freight and pas
senser business over the Psnnsylvania
lines through Richmond are attributed
BY the superintendent office to the
season Of the year. which IL generally
one Of the most active In the railroad
industry. Movsments Of goods from
the west to the east have shown slight
growth. which. 1t 10 said. can hardly
be traced to any one factor.
Movements Of new grain have not
been sufficient to be considered re-
sponsible. and neither have shipments
OF other goods produced In the Missis-
sippi valley. Officials were unable to
state whether the increase was due
to q slight awakening in different in
dustries or not.
Increased receipts in the passenger
department have been due to the at
fractions of the northern summer re-
sorts for tourists.

five killowatt station. A big battleship
carries station of from 80 to so killo-
watts.
Effective In Every Way.
General E. NJ. Weaver, chief Of the
Coast Artiller.' Corps, said in regard
to the Hammond invention.
IT such means Of attack were add.
ed to those we now have We would
then be able to attack an eneny's ship
by mortar fire falling vertically on the
decks OF the ships, by gunfire against
the side, turret and barbetter armor
and by mines and radio-controlled
torpedo below water.
To test the possibility Of interfering
with the wireless control of the Natal
ia the Dolphin which has the best ra-
dio-transmitting apparatus In the Uni
ted States Navy, was sent to Glouces-
ter and by breaking in with her pow
erful waves attempted to neutralizs or
disarrange the message from the
shore. The experiment continued
many hours. Throughout all this time
the little Natalia darted about under
perfect control, which the Dolphin OPP
orator trid in vain to fathom the Sc
cret and send out other vibrations
which would confuse her. Not until
the Dolphin was only $50 feet distance
from the Natalia could the shore con-
troll be affected. That would be too
close Off its battleship victim to stop
torpedo.
1t is suggested that the final form
the radio-directed torpedo may take
will be that of submarine running
a few feet below the surface or a n.y.
droplane travelling at immense speed
on the surface of the water.

device is the thermit shell, which he

Nezperce Players Put Up Good
Exhibition-Nine Innings,
No Hits, No Runs.

One Of the most classy games OF ball
seen in many day at the local ball
park was pulled off last Sunday after
noon to the edification Of goodly
number of enthusiasts, when Grange
Vile blanked the visitors from Nezperce
to the tune of Z to o.
The game was called at $3.50 by
Umpire Ed Abramson with the Neg
percers up and the way those boys
paved the atmosphere was heartrend-
ing, at least to- the visitors.
1t took the first seven innings for the
Nezperce boys to get a man safely to
the first sack. The next batter up
knocked an easy one down the first
base line and was called out. The rum
ner on second led off and signal was
given for the pitcher to throw to
second which was done and had the
man at that sack been alive the base
running for the boys across the
Prairie would have been at an end.
However. he succeeded In getting as
far as third. when the inevitable over
took him. They Just couldn't find

Grangeville, had something on the

The visitors played good ball as
will be seen by the summary, and 1t
required the fourth inning to give the
locals their first mark, which was in
creased to two by the end of the
round, with three In the sixth and two
