World Finance.

Americas preponderance in world
finance is given striking demonstra-
ton in the fact that France sent two
of, her leading bankers to New York
to confer with. Wall street on meas
ures to protect the credit Of Great
Britain, France, Russia and Italy for
the period of the war, and especially
to restore the value Of pounds sterling
and francs to, the normal. This de-
velopment is one of the most natural
as result of the changes in trade
conditions caused by the European
conflict, yet it has come as a surprise.

United States In Command.

With shrinkage in their exports,
the nations at war must either send
gold or borrow in the United States.
That is the problem which the repre-
sentatives of the Bank of France
sought to solve in New York. Great
Britain also sent bankers to the con-
ference.
American exports for the year ended
June 30 last reached the enormous to-
tai of s2,7SS,600,OOO. Great Britain,
the next highest, sold abroad $2,17O,-
100. 900 in the same period.

Dinner on the Lawn

Last Sunday Mr.. Joseph Yount
was very much surprised to see
several autos driye into the front
yard of his home four miles north
east of Laclede and more surprised
when he saw the occupants of the
cars unloading baskets and boxes
of various size and shape. He soon
found that it was only a party Of
neighbours and friends who had
come for social visit with him.
He was quite surprised at first but
soon recovered and proved an ideal
host. Tables were spread on the
shaded lawn and such dinner is
not seen often, everything from
chicken to ice cream being served.
The afternoon was spent by the
older ones in a good social chat
while the young folk went for an
auto drive. 1t was most pleasant
day for the visitors and Mr.. Yount
expressed himself as delighted to
have them with him and gave all a
cordial invitation to come again.
Those present were Jas. T. Bassett
and family, Chas. H. Frazier and
family, W. R. Peacher and family,
F. R. Power and family, Jas.
Davis and family and Arthur
Glover.

the country, but Alderman j. w.
Moberly was on the job and depu-
tized John Sweem to arrest Maple
and Anderson. After an hours
search he found them hiding on the
railroad track down near the car
house west Of town. He took them
before Justice III. E. Garside. The
Anderson boy had no hand in the
fight and was released, Maple
was placed under a $500 bond, his
father being security. The prelim-
mary is set for Friday afternoon of
this week. Peacher has employed
Attorney G, G. Bigger to assist the
prosecuting attorney in prosecuting
Maple, who is said to be over q
years of age while the Peacher boy
is IS.
THE BLADE has had no opportu-
nifty to interview Maple and get

Mr.. and Mrs. Lee MOuser Surprised

The Royal Neighbors had long
planned a surprise on Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Mouser in their beautiful, new
and modern home three miles
southwest of town, and the plans
were consummated last Tuesday.
The members of the local camp and
friends of the family to the num-
Der of IS arrived in automobiles,
carriages and buggies bringing
with them the best the land affords
in substantials and dainties for a
most elaborate dinner which was
enjoyed in the most neighborly and
social way. Dinner over the after
noon was spent at fancy work by
the older members while the young
folk enjoyed themselves with
games. The gathering was, just
as intended, a complete surprise on
these young people in their new
home, which for location, arrange
ment and finish is most complete,
and the occasion was so highly en-
joyed by all that it will not be for
gotten by the host and hostess and
the large company in attendance.

PRANK CAUSES FIGHT
Willard Maple Assaults Harry
Peacher and is Arrested


was badly injured last Saturday
night about IL o'clock when he
was assaulted by Willard Maple
on the streets of Laclede.
Young Peacher's side of the trou-
BILE as related by him to The BLADE
is to the effect that he drove totown
that evening and after hitching his
horse at the northeast corner Of
the park attended a party given for
a number of young people at Hotel
Brown. After the party he accom-
panied Miss BERTHE Power to her
home in the north part of town
and as he passed up the street he
noticed that his horse was standing
quietly and as he came back down
town few minutes later the horse
was still all right. He went into
the Denbo cafe and was there about
fifteen minutes but when he came
ont he saw his horse was badly
frightened and about to break
loose. He went to where it was
tied and as he approached it he saw
two young men leave it and run
toward the band stand in the park.
He noticed an object in the buggy
and thot it was a person but on
getting nearer saw it was dummy
made of a unicn suit stuffed with,
sawdust and there was a lot of
saw dust and other junk piled in
the buggy.
Wanting to learn who had put it.
there he took after the two fellows
who had disappeared around the
band stand and saw them go out
the southwest corner of the park
and disappear down the railroad
to the west. AS they passed under
the street light he thot he recogniz-
ed them but to be sure he stepped
behind tree and awaited their re
turn. They came back in fifteen
minutes and went up the track at
which time he recognized them as
as Willard Maple and James An
derson. Keeping his eye on them
Peacher crossed the street and met
them in front of Denbo's S and asked
them why they had piled that junk
in his buggy and scared his horse.
IF you say put that in your buggy,
you are a liar" said Maple, with
out asking any questions as to what
had been done. Peacher replied
that he had seen them leave the
buggy and believed they had a
hand in it. At this Maple dealt
Peacher blow in the face. After
a few licks had passed Maple
thrusted his left hand in his pants |
pocket and began tugging at some
thing. Believing he was to be cut
or shot Peacher grappled him. As
he did so Maple drew his hand
from his pocket and landed a heavy
blow over Peacher's left eye, fell
ing him to the sidewalk and rem
dering him almost unconscious.
Maple and Anderson then ran
to the park and disappeared in the
darkness.
Those who happened to be near
went to Peacber's assistance and
called DIR. F. w. Burke, After his
wound had been dressed and sewedf
mp Peacher was taken to the hotel
where he spent the night. His
face was badly bruised and he had
a deep cash over an inch long over
the left eye.

HOW DID SQUEEGEE
 1. GET|TS ODD NAME?
Tire Sounds Like Name of Character of Fairy
 Tale

What does it mean? Squeegea. It sounds as if it might be one ef the animals out of the Jungle Book or Alice in Wonderland. But that isn't the case. It is one of those unique trademark names that appear now and then coined words they are called-like e kodak and Jap-a-lac.. And if you look beyond the mere unique sounding word itself you usually find it has ] well founded meaning, This word "squeegee' was adopted by the B. F. Goodrich Ru5- Der company to designate their non skid Diamond tire. The name is the direct result of the tires action on Il slippery road. As the car starts to skid the peculiar construction of the tread, wiping its way through the mud or slush grips the road tight and holds exactly as the rubber window cleaning Geyice, known as a squilge, grips the glass of the window. You ger this same squeegee action by taking a hex agonal lead pencil and rubbing it lengthwise on door or window cas- ing=let go of it and 1t sticks, just as the squeegee tread tire sticks to the road. This is remarkable ap- plication of a scientific principle ard one that should prove of tremendous benefit in minimizing automobile acci- dents in the future
 Sdueegee tread tires are sold at ''fai, list prices and the flair list is S, called because the actual selling price. or tires of various sizes are published
