There is nothing about the building or
grounds to justify the dread Of the home
which has already communicated itself to the
countryside. There are no dlsordered blinds

hangs over the place is as real as the new

GIRL IS DRAGGED
BY ANGRY HORSE

Granville, July 14.-Elva, the little
daughter Of Mr.. and Mr. Ben Habeck,
north of town, met with a serious &C.
cident. The little girl was leading
an old horse to water and p1ayfully
twisted the halter rope around her
neck. The horse became vexed at the
flies and started to run, dragging the
child after him. She was dragged a
considerable distance before the rope
came loose, and was severely bruised
and otherwise badly injured. DR.. Dun
can was called, and at first it vas
thought that she could not survive,
but at this time she is resting easily
and some hopes are held out for her
recovery.

CHICAGO CARPENTERS
 OFFER TO COMPROMISE.
Would Return to Work if Contractors Would Use Only Chicago Materials.

Chicago, June 30.-Sixteen thousand carpenters on strike for two months late today offered to return to work at 65 cents an hour, the Jld scale, if the contractors would agree to use only Chicago materials. The offer was re- jected by M. A Ashbeck, president of the building contractors association, This further failure of the carpenters and contractors to agree made it ap- pear certain that the allied materials manufacturers would make good their threat to shut down, throwing 100000 employees out of work.
 Members of the building contractors organization said that materials could be purchased outside Chicago at a much lower rate than here and the ac- tion of the carpenters in making a stand against such purchase was un- reasonable The carpenters argued that much of the material which the employers would bring in was "un- fair. Leaders of the carpenters re- gard the threat of the building ma terials men to shut down "a bluff"
 Mayor Thompson, who has been try ing to settle the dispute, said tonight he still hoped that a satisfactory ad- justment could be made.

A BILLION DOLLAR TRADE
 BALANCE IN A YEAR,
Experts Point Out It is Not Owing to
 Orders for Munitions of War.

Washington, June so.-A billion dol lar trade balance-the greatest in American history-in a year which has seen commerce depressed by eleven months of world war, is the cornmer- cia1 record of the United States. OM- cial announcement was made today at the department of commerce that with the closing of the fiscal year at mid night it was certain that the billion dollar mark had been passed.
 The figures for eleven months end ing May 31,'' it was announced, "show a favorable balance of $983, IF, ,479. As thirteen ports which originally handled 90 per cent. of the country's foreign trade show for June an export bal ancc of approximately $50 ,000, 900, 1t is now known that the excess of exports over imports has at this date exceeded $1,000,0 100000, surpassing by nearly $400,000,000 the highest record hereto fore made''
 Figures indicating that the new high record would be made have been placed before President Wilson and the cabinet from time to time by Sec retary Redfield. Only today's official announcement was lacking Generally the showing was considered all the more gratifying because it was made despite the paralysis of ocean ship ping and the stagnation in the cotton market which depressed Americas second most valuable crop.
 Department of commerce experts point out that the immense trade bal ance is not owing to orders for muni- tons of war. III fact, manufactures generally other than foodstuffs have been less than in the similar period before the war.

 The president displayed deep inter est in the news from Washington but refused to make any official comment. He has told that a favorable reply from Germany to the last American note protesting against the subma- rine warfare was probable and there fore the word of the sinking of the Armenian was received here with sur prise.
 The president adopted the same att titude maintained by him following the sinking of the Lusitania. the Ne braskan and other ships carrying Americans that of reserving judgment until all available information is ob- tained.
 It is said at his residence that he had not changed his plan of remain- ing here over July 4th, because of the news about the Armenian, but that no prediction could be made as to what he would do after full official infor- nation had been received
