Warning to U. S.

8y United Press.
Rome, Sept. 30.-All the Italian
newspapers joined officials in enthu
siastic approval Of the statement Civ
en- by Lloyd George, member Of the
British cabinet in regard to England's
determination to carry ON the war
till knockout blow is administered
to the Central Powers
The statement of Lloyd George was
interpreted here as a special warning
to the United States government not
to make peace overtures at the pres
ent time. It is thought possible that
the warning was inspired by reports
that Ambassador Gerard was carrying
to Washington request from Germa-
ny that President Wilson sound the
belligerents on the subject of peace.
At the same time it is believed that
the British statesman had in mind any
move that the vatican might make in
the same direction.

Although OFFICER Dwyer has not

"This is necessary for the protection

2ll Farmers Of Grady County Sign Pc
titiOn to Commissioners Requesting
Vote on 100000 Bond Issue
PETITION is FILED
WITH COUNTY CLERK
Farmers Declare They are Entitled to
Permanent Fair Where Valuable OBJ
servations are Available

Will the board Of county commits
sioners hearken to the clamor Of the
farmers of Grady county for a s6O,O0o
bond issue for a permanent county
fair? That is question which is be-
ing asked today by the 211 members
Of the fraternity whose names are
subscribed to petition which has
been filed with County Clerk Bradley
asking for the calling Of an election
for that purpose. The answer is also
waited with interest by many other
farmers who believe they are entitled
to have a good show to come to, ac-
cording to toilers Of the soil who have
expressed themselves on the subject.
The petition bearing this large num-
ber Of names will be presented to the
board by the county clerk early in the
session for action and in the event OF
the board agreeing to call the election
it may be voted on during the general
election in November with practically
no extra expense to the county except
for advertising.
Those farmers who are most active
in the matter declare that the Grady
county agriculturist is entitled not on
ly to a place to show his products but
to an opportunity to acquaint himself
with the ways sId means adopted by
his co-workers who are successful in
the raising of crops and stock. They
contend that fair is an education to
the farmer who, on single visit and
at minimum expense, may gather in
formation and data which could other
wise be gained only at considerable
cost and inconvenience. He may also
inspect new inventions in the way OF
farming implements and note the pro-
gress OF farmers in various communi
ties, to say nothing of the pleasure the
outing would furnish to himself and
family.
Before the session Of the commits
sioners convenes in October term on
Monday. County Clerk Bradley will
have thoroughly investigated the mat
ter and win determine whether the
copies bear the requisite number of
signatures to call for action. The pc
ton reads as follows:
"To the Honorable Board Of County
Commissioners Of Grady County, Ok
lahoma:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens Of
Grady county hereby petition your
honorable body that immediate steps
be taken looking to the issuing Of
bonds for the sum Of 100000 or such
sum as may be necessary for the pur-
pose Of establishing a free fair in Gra-
dy county. We believe that the inter-
ests Of the county demand that imme
diate action be taken SO that the
grounds, buildings, ETC. may be in
readiness this year.
