HOPPE'S HANDS
Famous Cue Champ Claims Military Exemption Because Gun Would h. jure His Fingers.

The world war has suddenly tumbled about the ears of our great est billiard player of all time, Willie HOppe. He has been ordered by his local board to work or fight. Hoppe, it is announced, will make an appeal, passing his exception presumably upon the fact that manual labor would af- feet his hands, thereby running his professional career and leaving him in his early thirties with no business or trade.
 It is an interesting case, and pro- bably in the history of the draft there will be few like it. Any one who understands billiards, knows that Hoppe is not exagerating when he sets forth the opinion that hard man. ual labor would detract from the sensitiveness and 'feel'' of his hands, until it is doubtful if he ever could regain his present standing He could lose a, lot of that ability, by the way and still be head and shoulders above his field.
 Some time ago it was reported that Hoppe was going into the navy. At the time he explained that this was not true, as he was afraid of his hands.
 My hands mean as much to me as those of a concert pianist do to him. v said Hoppe at that time. I am honestly afraid to take a chance with them. I have never made any fortune out of billiards; in fact, I have made what one would regard as a very small return on a profession it has taken me a lifetime to perfect look on billiards as a business, mo- thing more or less, and it will be un- fortunate for me if my business is permanently wiped out by injury or anything that takes from me the ability of my hands.
 ItOppe is as patriotic as the next fellow. He is married, and originally obtained a deferred classification. What he has been hoping is that there could he found some welfare work in the army wherein he would be Of more value than as fighter. In England they did this for Melbourne lnman, who never was in Hoppe' s class as a. billiardist If this is i'm - possible HOppe will go to war with the feeling that circumstance has been peculiarly costly to him.

WILL HONOR GLOVER
Local Bar Association to Take Action
 On Death of Lawyer Hero Who Died in Battle.

The New Britain Bar association will take appropriate action on the death of Lieutenant Joseph Glover, a member of the bar, who died a hero's death in battle in France. At the ses- H. Kirkham presiding, a committee consisting of Judge kirkham, Judge Gatfney and Prosecuting Attorney Klett, was appointed to have power to arrange for a session of the bar in connection with the session of the city court on September 13, to take action on Lieut.. Glover's death. This action will be taken regardless of any recognition of the feutenant's death by the Hartford County Bar association.
 An interesting argument on the de- murrer in the suit of Frank Maletta against D. Somese was heard by Judge IIirl1ham. Klett &- filling re- presented the plaintiff and Attorney A. W. Upson appeared for the defend dant This is an action to recover the value of goods alleged to have been stolen. The plaintiffs complaint was amended at one time. It was claimed the action was not brought until after the statute limitations eX- pired. On the other hand it was maintained that there was conceal ment and consequently there was nothing to prelude bringing an ac- tion when the concealment was dls- covered

 Yes sir, I am,' she replied, and if it is those cookies and cakes you have in mind, perhaps you'd like to know that I've found a way of getting along without sugar entirely.'
 MT. Landers was interested to the extent that he had the cook reduce to written recipes her cake and cookie fOrmulae and they were submitted to Miss H. F.

From the 1Earshfield Herald
Upper Wisconsin was lucky last
week that it was not included in the
big snow storm that prevailed south
and east Of us. Chicago and Milwaukee
were the worst hit, snow in the form
err place covering the ground to the
depth Of I've feet. All railroad traffic
on Saturday and Sunday was para
lied. Here il Marshfeld the wealth
er was normal and nothing would have
been known Of the storm had it not
been for the belated railroad service.
The 500 railroad recently closed 9
contract with Stevens Point parties
for the putting uD Of 10000 tons Of
ice Of which 5000 tons will be ship
ped to this city, Abbotsford and Irvine.
The ice will be taken from the Wiscon-
sin river.
Charles Fiedeman Of Thorp owned
a pet coon. Last week it disappeared
and Fiedeman thought Of course it had
taken to the woods. One day last
week a neighbor Of his hearing strange
noises in the cellar made an investiga-
ton and as happy and contented as
q kitten he found the lost coon fast
asleep He also found that the coon
had helped himself very literally to a
barrel Of sauerkraut.
The expression "those who dance
must pay the fidler' has a rival. Under
the existing war tax laws, one cent
on every ten cents collected at dances
must be paid to the government. So
you see you must not only pay the
idler, but also the government.
Hon, J. c. Marsh, while at Spoke
vile last Sunday discovered a fresh
bear track, the animal making it going
in a northeasterly direction. The only
consolation Joe can get out Of the dis
covery IS that we are to have an open
winter, otherwise his bearship, like the
balance of has kind would have went
into winter quarters long ago.

ADVERTISING
Professor Lindley Thinks Publicity Is
Greatest Marvel Of the Age.

Setting aside the generally accepted
belief that electricity and flying ma
chimes are the greatest marvels Of the
age, Dr.. E. H. Lindley, president Of
the University of Idaho, last week stat
ed in Pullman, Wash, that in his be
lief the greatest marvel of the present
age is the remarkable development of
advertising to that point where the ad-
vertiser can impress his wishes upon
