The plaintiff brought the action to
recover the sum of $1,10O based on a
promissory note given by B. E. Lit
to William Aid. 1t appears that some
years ago Lift went to Indiana and

bought to Knox county. Shortly af-
terwards Lift went to Indiana and
purchased the second horse from Aid
and gave him his note for $1,100.
When Lift got back home he discov-
cred that the first horse was un.
sound and suffering from an incur
able disease. In the meantime Aid
went to the Discount and Deposit
State bank and discounted the note
which he held against Lift. When
Lift discovered that the first horse
was unsound he refused to pay the

HEAVY BOMBS
lRy Associated pressD


Dunkirk, Aug. 14.--The trench war
fare in France has made two distinct
and apparently contradictory demands
upon manufacturers of artillery-one
for weapons of extraordinary range,
and the other for guns which will drop
shell at a shorter range than ever
heretofore used.
The German gunmakers, who are
developing long-range guns capable OF
carrying a projectile from Calais to
Dover are at the same time showing
remarkable ingenuity in making quaint
title mortars which will toss missiles
containing high explosives about as
far as a fair football player can kick
a goal,
The "minnewerfer" was the first OF
the short range weapons to meet the
British troops in France, and it was
regarded as a very excellent weapon
of its class But the newer German
inventions of similar character are a
hundred times more effective in dead
liness and power.
The so-called "Rumjar" is perhaps
the most feared of the new German
french mortars. 1t is so named by
the British soldiers from the resem-
blance of its missile to the gallon stone
lars in which the army rations of rum
ire carried. The projectile is slightly
more than twice the size of the army
um-iar, however. 1t is generally first
lighted when approaching the top of
is flight. In descent it turns over
nd over, its size and slowness of
light enabling the soldier to follow il
,asily even from some distance. 1t is
exploded either by time or delayed
percussion fuse, and is constructed of
/ thin steel case filled with tri-nitro-
oluol. The damage it causes is due
entirely to it's detonating quality-it
ioes not rely on metal or bullets for
is effect. The explosion seems to be
more instantaneous than that of any
,ther projectile, and there is therefore
A concentrated fury to the noise of its
bursting that distinguishes it from all
other projectiles.
The Sausage" is another variety
If missile fired probably from COM
1ressed-air guns, inasmuch as the dis
charge makes so little noise as to be
practically inaudible.
The Percy" is five inch shell
which explodes in the air with an ex-
.raordinary crack while the less
lreaded "Pip-squeaks" are missiles OF
similar kind but much smaller size
The so-called withholding" is bomb
exploded by means of time fuse, but
brown by hand.

PLAN ADVANCED To

Los Angeles, Aug. IA plan to
aid aliens WHO are expected to cone

Lers than ever after the European
war by a federal law authorizing loans
lqr the purchase and developing 81
land was outlined by William b.
Wilson, United States Secretary of

for San Diego. The plan of the set.-
Rotary contemplates the use of an
srrplus money derived by the gcv.
eminent from the head tax imposed
on immigrants. This money whicn
hc estimates would amount to more
than s1,OO0,000 year would be lent
by the government mortgages On

SOME MATTED MILK IDEAS

That the subject of keeping cool
drinks in the home, especially where
there are young people, is an import
ant one, is demonstrated in the in
creasing boom of the soda fountain
business. Isn't it natural that a per
son coming home after hot, tiresome
day in town, or a strenuous day at golf
or tennis, and finding no refreshing
beverage, should go elsewhere and
drink some unwholesome, if not in
furious, preparation? No doubt many
a young man has become tippler for
no other reason than lack of whole

always delicious beverage TO hot tea,
