 When any of these things are at tempted for the purpose of delivering in- formation to any foreign government, the penalty is made 20 years imprisonment in peace times, and in time of war the penalty is Imprisonment for life.
 PROVIDES FOR PUNISHMENT
 Another section of the bill provides life Imprisonment in time of war for anyone "who collects, records, publishes or com municates or attempts to elicit any in formation with respect to the movement numbers, description, condition or dispo- sition of any Of the armed forces. ships, airplanes or war material of the United States or with respect to any works or measures undertaken for or connected with or intended for the fertilization or defense of any place, intended to be communicated to the enemy or of such a nature as is calculated to be or might be directly or indirectly useful to the enemy"
 Important amendments to the naval blll necessitated by the international emer- gency were the subject of conference today between Chairman Padgett of the House committee and Secretary Dam iels The Secretary is particularly anx- ious to secure passage of the amendments which would give the President authority to take over private navy yards and mu- hilton plants in time of stress and would give the navy department elastic au- thority regarding construction of sub- marines, aircraft and other types of de- fense warships.
 ENLARGES GENERAL STAFF The army bill amendment removing all limit to the number of members of the general staff who may be brought to Washington would replace a provision in the present law under which not more than 50 per cent of them may be stationed here. The military committee takes the position that the present bill only is intended to carry out the national defense plans normally, and that any emergency matters, naturally expected if the situa ton becomes more grave, will be taken care of in additional legislation.
 The bill carries $260. GOO, 000 Among other things, it appropriates $e,5O0,00o for train ing camps at Plattsburg and elsewhere. $4, 235, 900 for officers reserve corps, ana approximately $s,Oo0,o00 for aviation.

but. about the meanest one we ever
heard of was perpetrated by A. M.
CARPENTER of the Anderson Daily Mail,
Years ago, when he was printer on
the Greenwood Index. For some reason
or other Carpenter was not feeling very
good one day when fellow came into
the printing Office and said he just had
to have some circulars printed. When
the jcircular was "set up" it looked SC
bum that Carpenter was ashamed of il,
and he didn't do thing but print the
Greenwood Journals imprint upon the
circular and palm it off as some of the

since reformed and wouldn't do any
thing like that now.

to prohibit the erection Of advertising
