We learn that several business deals
are pending IN Baxter Springs. At
least two business houses are about to
change hands and some real estate
over town is being "dickered" on. The
fact the mine operators are working
out the storage house program is
leading many people to believe that
the transition period from war to
peace may be short lived In the lead
and zinc industry. The early return
of some Eve hundred soldiers and sail

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 26.-A cam

Dick Heads League
The Pershing league will be perma-
nently organized tonight at Akron. 1t
Is said that Mr.. Dick probably will be
made president.
As set forth In the articles of in
corporation, the league is to Crystal

Gen. John ]. Pershing as president OF

for his nomination and election"
Other leagues are to be formed in

Although General Pershing is a re-

tention to selling their products as
they do to manufacturing them.
Most of the manufacturers in the
United States are organized in the
Manufacturers association. Its men,
bers pay dues, send delegates to an
nual conventions, determine conditions
in their great industry, and take a
prominent part in politics and gov
eminent. Most of the manufacturing
enterprises of Importance are in
cluded in some monopoly.
Big Business is Organized
AS result Of this organization,
monopoly and attention to marketing
the manufacturer realizes a gross re-
turn Of Al per cent on his investment.
The farmer, who is not organizedd,
who is victim of monopoly, and who
has surrendered the marketing of
farm products to middlemen monopo-
lists, after forego ng all wages for
himself and family, realizes only IA
per cent interest on his investment.
If he received prices corresponding
to the manufacturers the average
farm income would be $2,642 year.
1t is up to the farmer to take the
control of the market out of the hands
of the middlemen if he wants to put
farming on a business basis. He
can do this by using his political pow
err to establish the public ownership
of the big marketing and finishing
facilities such as railroads, elevators,
flour mills, stockyards, packing plants,
warehouses, cold storage plants, etc.
With the market and the big mar
keting facilities under the control of
the public, and the farmers and city
workers-in other words, the great
producing and consuming classes
constituting an overwhelming major
ity of the public, market prices and
conditions will be determined in the
interest of the producers and consum-
ers. When the great body of pro-
ducers and consumers through state
and the national governments control
market conditions, the needless waste
of the present system of marketing,
entailing the passing of products
through so many hands, will be elm,
mated. The values thus saved will
60 to the producers and consumers.

Scranton, Pa, June 1.-Two men
were killed and fifteen others injured
when two work trains on the Lack
awanna and Wyoming Valley (Laurel
line) came together in a rock cut
near Moosic, a few miles south of
this city last evening. Six of the in
iured were able to go to their hom es
but the other nine are confined to
hospitals.
Mistaken signals are believed to
have been responsible for the coll

hundred yards completely tieing up

man on one of the trains. and an
unknown section hand were the

Washington, June 15.-Dr. Francis
S. Nash. a medical director in the
Navy, was fined $1,000 to-day in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court
after entering a plea of nolle con-
tendere to a charge of unlawfully
boarding foodstuffs. An identical

the food hoard, valued at approx
imately $4,000, found in the Nash
home. had been purchased before
the declaration of war with Germany
and that much of it had been intend
ed for charitable institutions.
The government instituted pro-
ceedings to libel a portion of DR..
Nash's food stocks. Officials said
that part of II illegally stored would
be cohfiscated.

the new structure which will replace
an old wooden covered one.
The new bridge will cost about
$4,000, it is estimated. and will
probably be of reinforced concrete.

MANY MARRIED
MEN TO BE PUT
IN FIRST CLASS
Crowder Ruling Means Many
Will Go to Army in
Next Call

Thousands of young married men
throughout the state wifi lose their
deferred classifications under the
new draft ruling announced yester-
day by Provost Marshal General
CroWder. according to local draft
board officials to-day.
In effect every man who married
since the passage of the draft act.
May IS. 1917, will be held in either
class one or two Whether or not
man married in pursuance of a long
standing engagement or to escape
airy service makes no difference.
A survey of conditions in Harris
burg and Dauphin and Cumberland
counties to-day indicated that a large
number of young men married since
the selective service act was passed
VIII be taken out of class two and
placed in class one The number of
lately married men in the local dis
triets who were given class four eX-
emptions are said not to be many
Under the latest Crowder ruling
recently married men who have no
children, born or unborn, must be
placed in class one. This is said to
mean reclassification for a large
number of Harrisburg youths who
were in class two on the ground that
their wives were dependent upon
them. The only dependency that a
recently married man now can claim
is that of a child.
The various local boards, it was
said day, used different methors of
arriving at what class in which to
place these men. Proof of. an en-
gagement before the war generally
was taken to mean that the regis
trant was not trying to escape the
draft in his marriage.
Young wives will not suffer, said
one draft board official to-day. They
will get an allowance of at least $50
a month under the soldiers insur-
ance act.

YANKEE BIRDMEN
DROP BOMBS ON
GERMAN BASES
Americans Act Like Veterans
in Thrilling Adven-
ture in Air
By Associated Press

With the American Army in
France, Friday, June 1.-THE first
raid by an American bombing squad
ron behind the German lines was ac-
complished with successful and salts
factory results. the Americans per-
forming like veterans. Some of the
observers already had been on SINH
lar flying missisns with French or
British pilots and they knew exactly
how to gauge accurately the fall of
the bombs.
AS they made their start for Ger
many the bombing planes received
quite an ovation. A number Of
French and British aviators and off,
GERS and large number of American
fliers cheered them from the flying
field as they came racing down the
grass, tilted upward and then turned
north toward the enemy's lines.
Get Hot Reception
The German antiaircraft batteries
game them a hot reception as they
crossed the front but this shelling
was extremely tame compared with
to what they underwent as they ap-
preached Dommary-B -Baroncourt. Two
of the American planes, leading the
squadron became the particular tar
gets of the antiaircraft guns. They
twisted and dived under a heavy
shrapnel fire until they arrived over
their objective, a railway. junction
and the surrounding buildings three
miles below.
The commanding officer of the
unit was in the leading plane as OBJ
server and it sped over the objective
first, the commander releasing his
bombs. At the same time he signal
ed to the other machines which fol-
lowed in a nearly straight line.
Drive on Huns
Bursting bombs laid a perfect cir
Gle of smoke about the railway
junction. The smoke obscured the
buildings as the bombers turned
southwark toward the American
lines.
German attacking planes met the
Americans two miles from Dommary
and attempted to pick off those
planes which were trailing but the
lively fire of the other machines
forced the enemy to give up the at
tempt just as the line was reach
ed. Arriving at the starting point,
the aviators were showered with
congratulations on the results of the
first raid by their envious comrades.

American Ace Brings Down
Five Boche. Aviators in
One Day Of Fighting

Psris, June 15.-Sergeant David e.
Putnam, of Brookline, Mass. is re-
ported to have downed five Germans
on June 10. Three of Putnam's
aerial victories are now official and
the other two are under investiga-
tion. This record, if the five victories
are officially credited. makes Put
nam's total thirteen, supplanting
Lieutenant Frank Baylies. of New
Bedford, Mass. as the American ace
of aces.
The feat accredited Sergeant Put
nam is the most notable performed
by any American aviator and has
probably been eclipsed only once
during the course of the war. The
only other aviator getting larger
bag of enemy airplanes in a single
day is Lieutenant Rene Fonck, a
French ace, who brought down six
German machines.
Sergeant Putnam is a descendant
of Israel Putnam.
