SMOKE PRODUCERS INVENTED TO HIDE
 FIELD BATTERIES

FRENCH FRONT, July 20.-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) Smoke producers to hide the posi- tions of batteries are in general use since the spring of this year in the German artillery operating on the Franco-British. front. An order is. sued in connection with their em- ployment was found recently in an artillery emplacement captured by the French. It gave details of the meth cd in which the smoke-producers were to be used, as follows:
 These smoke producers (Nebel- toepfe) should be placed in position at distance of at least 250 yards from the battery in the direction from which the wind is blowing and there should be intervals of eight yards between them.
 "Emplacemetns for the smoke-pro- ducers should be prepared all around the battery in order that their posi- tions may be changed rapidly in case the direction of the wind should turn.
 Use should be made of the smoke producers as soon as the enemy be- gins to fire on the battery with aeroplanes to aid him in regulating the range and direction"

know this. If he had, likely he would have said You should have known better than to have gone out with that heavy piece of machinery this early in the year. You see the critic has the advantage, regardless of what course you may pursue. Some people can find something to grumble about, if you do or if you don't do. In fact they seem to have been born on the grumbling side of the moon.
 He seems to be greatly taken up iwth the people of Hampstead and Clark counties. That's all right. They are a progressive people so far as l know. But they are subject to mistakes, just the same as we are. If Tax Payer wants to move to either of those counties, we'll have to sub init. Of course, we are sorry to lose good citizen, but Nevada county was on the map before Tax Payer or I had anything to do with public matters" and perhaps wouldn't miss us if we should move away. l guess he is gone by this time, as he bade us goodbye yesterday. Our good wishes follow, wherever he may go.
 l am for the upbulding of Nevada county, her roads and otherwise, and hope when Tax Payer matches my little might, others will follow Let's have roads, by all means.

 The present system of handling funds requires the county collector to bring actual cash to the treasury, and the cash is sent to the successful bid ders under the depository act. The board ordered the state comptroller to work out a system by which the treasurer may accept approved ex- change, saving the state many thous- ands of dollars in express charges.

He is getting data on a box and crat factory, the waste material from local woodworking plants being utilized to manufacture the boxes. MT.

KEEP ON THE JOB.

Keep on the job Stick by the flag. The trucuent spirit being now so alphabetically exhibited in Germany means the beginning of the end.
 When that same truculent feeling enters the field of labor it is we'll to watch, and watch carefully.
 We have had labor disturbances in our own country, grave ones, ones that have meant much to the future prosperity of the nation The gray est labor agitation that has confront ed us in recent years was adroitly brdged over by the forethought and prudence of the president.
 What We need is prosperity in war. We need prosperity far more than We do in the lulled and soothed days of peace Business Impressions are al. ways bad, but doubly so when we have fight on our own hands.
 By rights the declaration of war should have no logical depressing ef- feet on American business interests. t should, on the contrary, have a stimulating effect But to make this true every man should place his shoulder to the wheel and stick to the job.
 This talk of strikes in the munition ols'rlcts should be hushed. If there are dissatisfied aliens who are agitat- m mg trouble they should be dismissed. mere are men of brain and brawn Who will take their places.

What bad effects are apparent are purely psychological and are largely of our own foolish making. Our mar kets are just as healthy in April as they were in March
 We need more business. This is true. It has been the cry of the time and, the opportunity is now afforded to gain more business and in a legiti mate way. The prospects are opti- mistic. The exigencies of war pro- vide way.
 Indscriminate economy, in a way, will be ruinous. Economy in the home is most advisable, but the econ omy in housing and storing the sup plies so necessary for the sustenance of humanity is inadvsable and should be carefully watched by the govern ment.
 Every day the advisory commission of national defense in Washington receives offers of services from busi- ness men and business firms to do what they can for the national cause.
 What they can do is to cooperate with the authorities and to stick on the job, to aid and assist the govern ment in every possible way-Com- mercial Appeal

GOOD ROADS ASSURED
 FOR NEVADA COUNTY

The above words will certainly sound good to the good roads enthus- lasts of Nevada county. Some one might say, What caused this good news to come so suddenly?" Tax Payer says "No more guinters" for Nevada county He's going after it. That's good. l hope to have the full cooperation of everybody in the township, in this road work, and in the entire county as far as that goes. If any one has any suggestions to make, l have repeatedly said that am ready to listen, and to accept such suggestions as I think worthy of con slderation. But he needn't Trip us up the back" in the papers. Gentle means might be more persuasive.
 He says he thought the county judge was judge of Missouri town ship as we'll as judge of the county. But he trips himself in this state ment by saying that he didn't intend to have any private interviews with the county judge, on public matters. So, If l am judge of Missouri town ship, 1t effects nothing, according to his argument. l am glad to know that 1 will be relieved of private in- tervlews with the gentleman The man that will stand out in the dark and shoot you through your window, IS very dangerous character to have any dealings with. This is what Tax Payer is doing when he is writing these articles under the cover of non de plume
 He says he will deposit dollar with the News, for every dollar that l will deposit. I'll not agree to make any deposit with the News. I didn't know the News was running a bank, besides that l guess the Editor is too busy to be bothered with such matters. But in order to get the ball rolling, will deposit $100.00 with Citlltl Oi lih- bdIlhS or lHG county treasurer. The county treasurer was elected by the people to handle their funds, including the road funds, and he has made bond for this purpose. Therefore, I think he would be the proper one to make the deposit with. So what say you, Tax Payer Cone lon. Show your faith by your works. If 1 refuse to operate this road machinery. l think it will then be the proper time for the people to rise up and take matters in hand. He seems to have had great confidence in me during my race for county judge, and says he gave me his support, which l appreciate. But before I have had time to use machinery, he gets scared, and begins to talk about the short comings of my predecessors.
 About two or three years ago, we had some experience trying to oper- ate this tractor too early in the year It was mired down, and required two or three days work at a cost of thirty or forty dollars to raise it out of the mire. Perhaps Tax Payer didn't

The city Of Gary was not so much in

Some were for it and some against It.
Attorney Frank Gavit represented pro-

fer him to determine whether the com
missioner shall be ousted 1t was re-
por.cd last night that Lee probably
would t1stitute injunction proceedings
to pre-, ent Governor Goodrich from
throwing him out of office.
Goodrich asked Lee TO resign. but 1t
is said that Lee refused That he in
tends to fight was the understanding
here today.
Lees appointment to a place on the
public service commission a few weeks
ago stirred up considerable political
muss. and it was regarded as being
purely a political appointment, made
for the purpose of paying a political
debt TO Lee.
Lee has had a checkered political ca
reer He was an employe of the reve-
nue. department at Lawrenceburg in
1910. when Albert J. Beyeridge picked
him up and made him Republican state
chairman. In the early winter of 1911.
Lee. at Washington. created a sensa-
ton by declaring at Republican con-
ference that if President Taft was re-
nominated he could not carry Indiana.
This was part of the plan of the pro-
gressive element to gain control Of the
Republican party and nominate Roose-
welt for president.
When the split in the Republican
party came in 1912 Lee became a Pro-
grcssive and was elected Progressive
state chairman
In 1916 Lee was again the Progress
sive state chairman, and it was well
known that he had a strong leaning to-
ward President Wilson for reelection
In fact. the talk was that the Progress
sive outfit last fall was merely a Dem
ocratic adjunct.
So. when Governor Ralston announc-
ed the appointment of Lee to place
on the public service commission there
was roar from all over the state. for
it was said that he was so much q
Democrat that his being on the commits.
sion would give the Democrats -four
members and the Republicans only one
The outcome of the Lee case will bs
watched with intense interest all over
the state.
