ANOTHER GARAGE
To CHANGE HANDS

Negotiations have been practically
completed by which the large new ga
rage now occupied by w. D. Johnson
at the corner of Oak and Fifth streets,
will become part of the Lanich garage
which adjoins it. A. S. Lanich, the
proprietor for years of the Lanich ga
rage on Fifth street, will take into
business as partners Messrs. Edward
and August Schirmer and the new
firm with it's extensive garage facili-
ties will form strong coalition.
It is planned to use the Johnson
building for garage purposes only,
with the exception that the offices
will also be nthis building. The Ian
ich building will be connected with
the Johnson garage by means Of a
large doorway cut through the rear
Of the building into the side of the
Lanich garage and in the latter place
the repair work will be taken care Of
exclusively. With the new arrange
ment Mr. Lanich and the Schirmer
Brothers will have the largest auto
mobile garage in the state, the two
buildings affording $4,000 square feet
of space, and with entrances on two
different streets.
The new partners in the business
are both familiar with machinery,
Edward Schirmer for years having
been in the we'll drilling business and
in constant touch with work that will
help him in the automobile business.
August Schirmer for some time was

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

A. M. Rodems has returned from
trip to Chicago and Michigan, where
he went to investigate the peach sit
uation. He says the trees in Mich
igan are heavily loaded and that the
fruit is fine. The buyers are as
thick as flies and prices will not be
as low as some years, although it will
not Jake great deal of money to
secure a bushel. Mr.. Rodems pur-
chased two carloads which will be
here in a few days. He says that all
kinds of fruit so far this year have
not kept well. The Missouri peaches
were destroyed by the hot weather,
and pears do not keep as in former
years. He does not know where the
trouble is, but the keeping qualities
are minus. The Michigan peaches,
however, seem to be all right.

THE SCOUT

SEVERAL years ago the boys Of
Mexico were members Of n Of the
strongest Boy Scout organizations
in the state. The movement soon
outgrew the little time the few inter
ested could devote to it and then it
slowly disentegrated.
Now the Mexico Federation Of Clubs
under the splendid leadership Of Mrs,
E. A. bearing, has come forward and
offered its assistance in placing the
Scouts once more on a solid basis in
this city.
Those who were connected with the
movement or who came in intimate
contact with it can appreciate what
a benefit it is to the youth Of the
city and in fact to society in general.
With the Federation at the head
of this work and a number Of inter
ested men as Scoutmasters next sum-
mer should sec the Scouts fl0urishing
here as in the past The Scout Cab
in, on ground donated by Mr. Harris,
is an ideal meeting place for the boys
and as they grow other equipment

make the movement a permanent sue
cess is the full moral support Of the
community.

A Defensive War.
The people of Italy were virtually
forced into the a They had to do
something, for they were bound to
lose in the event of victory by either
the Allies or the Central Powers, and
their traditional hatred of Austria
caused them to cast their lot with the
Allies. So far the war against Italy
has been conducted wholly by the
Austrians. The Italian people are
very optimistic over the outcome of
the var and feel assured that the AL
lies will be the victors.
Mrs. Gill says she and her husband
plan to return to Italy and resume
their work as soon as the was is end
ed. Their voyage from England to
America, made in an American vessel
was uneventful. They left Liverpool
with the vessel brightly lighted and
the large American flag painted or
the side brightly illuminated.
