The amusing part of life is the many people who, from day to day, take pleasure in finding out the weak spots and faults of others. The time spent in this occupation, if trained in other channels, should make the fortune of the heady individual who thus spends time uselessly finding the pin points.

Five or six magnates have expressed themselves strongly against another opening dur ing the season of uncertain weather.

Despite Strike, Men Patriot
ically Respond
INTEREST rs GROWING
Movement Started At Court
House Saturday To Sub
scribe $1,000

Although it's members have been
on strike ever since January, the
molders' union of this city has sub
scribed $500 towards the Liberty
loan.
This announcement was made Sat
urday morning by Secretary Albert C.
Faddis. The bonds will be secured
through the New Knox National
bank, he states.
Interest in the Liberty loan issue
in this city and county is gradually
growing with a more complete under
standing among the people as to just
what it means and what its terms
are. Two banks-the New Knox Ma.
tional and the Knox County Savings
have subscribed for $4,000 each OF
the issue with the confident expec.
tation that Knox county people will
take the bonds off their hands and
with a feeling that it is their patriot.
ic duty to take the bonds. 1t means
nothing to the banks.
1t is not necessary to pay for the
bonds until July. The bonds are
negotiable and bear interest. With
the money derived from them, the
United States will conduct its part
of the war.
A movement was started at the
court house Saturday morning to
purchase $1,000 of the bonds. A
high amount was purposely set. In
less than Is minutes, half the amount
| was subscribed, with a number of
| officials yet to be seen.
Upon the Liberty loan issue, which
is more or less of a voluntary affair,
| depends the financial success of the
United States in the war. People
seem to be impressed with this and
are ready to make sacrifices to aid.

DEAD BODY FOUND
BY HIS CHILDREN
Team Had Returned Home
Alone, But Little Con-
Germ Was Felt

Neighbors, going with little Gladys
and Dorma Barker to the spot where
the children had seen man lying
in the road, found w. S. Barker 55,
the father of the children, dead and
terribly crushed shortly after noon
Friday in the lane that leads to the
Barker farmhouse, near Esto.
1t was not his horses running away
that caused the accident. 1t was his
pipe that gave evidence that he had
let go of the sides of the wagon
which passed over him, to light his
pipe, lost his balance, fell to the
ground and was instantly killed, his
neck, skull and right arm being frac-
tured. Mention was made of the ac-
cident in Fridays issue of The Ban
ner.
Barker was returning home from
Howard where he had been part of
the day and had on his wagon about
fifty bushels of corn he had pur-
chased 1t is not known whether
both wheels passed over him, but it
is thought that if one wheel passed
over his body, the weight was suffic-
lent to cause his death. 1t is thought
that the accident happened about l
o'clock.
Barker's daughters, Gladys and
Dorma, were returning from Esto on
foot after buying some groceries.
Coming up the lane to their own
home, they found their father, but
did not recognize him. They rushed
to some neighbors near by and took
them to the spot.
The white, dusty and bloodstained
face was turned up to the light, and
the little girls beheld their father
dead. The horses, it seems, returned
to the house and this excited the
suspicious of Barker's son, Dale.
However, not much thought was CIV
en- the idea that Barker was injured
some place.
A physician was called to attempt
to revive the man, but soon discover
ed that such a thing was impossible.
Barker leaves wife, one son, Dale,
at home, and three daughters, Mrs
Leroy Shelburn of Colorado, and
Gladys and Dorma, who are at home.

Council Sends Him To Har-
risburg And Omaha
IN ST. RAILWAY CASE
City Dads TO Leave Nothing
Undone In Securing
Judgment

That city council is determined to
leave no stone unturned in prosecut-
ing it's case against the Mt. Vernon
Electric Railway Co. to recover about
$1,000 for paving assessments, is evil
denced by a special session Of the
body which was convened Friday
evening and which authorized City
Solicitor Rooms to go to Harrisburg,
Pa, and Omaha, Neb., and witness
the taking of dispositions by the de-
fense, as we'll as to cross-eXamine the
parties.
In the years 1906 and 1907, it is
the claim of the city that the then
city clerk served notice on the presi-
dent and general manager of the
street railway of assessments against
their property for paving purposes.
w. H. Abbott of Omaha, Neb., was
then president. The defense, it is
said, will deny this.
This week, Solicitor Rooms receiv-
ed notice from Robert L. Carr, one OF
the attorneys for the defense, that
the dispositions both of Mr.. Abbott
and the general manager of the line
in 1906-1907 were to be taken.
1t will be remembered that this
case was submitted in part recently
in common pleas and then continued
to the early part of June. Solicitor
Rooms realized the eXpediency of hav-
ing representative Of the city pres
ent at the taking of dispositions and
special session of council was call
ed.
On motion of Councilman Brentlin-
ger, the sum of 500 was appropriated
to pay the expenses Of the solicitor
to Harrisburg and Omaha. There
was some little discussion as to what
fund the money should be taken from,
but this was settled when City Audit
or Gates suggested a means.
Solicitor Koons left Saturday for
Harrisburg. He will leave for Oma-
ha May 81.

ECUADOR ANXIOUS
TO SELL THE US.
GALAPAGOS ISLES

tBy Associated Press to The Baunerl
Ancon, Panama Canal, May 26--
Reports keep coming to the isthmus
of growing inclination on the part
of the people Of Ecuador to offer the
Galapagos islands for sale to the
United States. The handsome price
paid for the Virgin islands is said
to have made a great impression on
Ecuadorians. The Galapagos islands
have long been economically worth
less to Ecuador, but all suggestions
to sell them have been hailed by op-
posing politicians as an intrigue to
deliver the territory of the country
into the hands of foreigners. 1t may
be that the conduct of the United
States toward Latin America under
President Wilson has mitigated the
distrust OF the United States and in
clined the Ecuadorians to consider
more leniently American possession
of the islands.
The Galapagos lie about 800 miles
southwest of the canal, close to the
road of steamers plying between the
canal and New Zealand, Australia,
and the rest of Oceania and the lower
East Indies. 1t is asserted that the
site would be strategic point for
naval operations, an outpost in the
defense of the canal, and haven for
ships of peace or war in vast
stretch of lonely sea. The popula-
ton of the group is reported as about
400 persons.
