to cover.
Questioned as to how these opera
tors got by with so few people MAX
ing complaints, Judge Binford said he
had learned from victims that they
had a regularly established "house of
fear" to which balky victims were en-
ticed and put through grill which
threatened them with everything from
murder on five minutes notice to tell
ing the victims wives, should they
squeal.
Tourists in the state are being
warned to steer clear of confidence
games and offers of quick profits, and
to report all such cases to the police
at the first suspicion.
1t is only in this way, officers state,
that the situation can be handled and
the swindlers dealt out summary pun
ishment.

Family Puzzled

Some days ago, the family of Mr..
C. N. Swearingen, of Greenfield, re-
ceived a card of sympathy or condo
lence from the Salvation Army in
France, with reference to Lester
Swearingen. The card did not state
whether the young man was dead or
injured, and the family has been
quite anxious to know the meaning of
the card. They last heard from Les
ter on Sept. s. He was recovering
from gas, was leaving the hospital
and expected soon to be back in the
firing line. Let us hope for the best,
believing the young man is safe and
that cheering news will come from
him at an early date.

dealings with his fellow man, and to
the grief stricken young wife and

Famous Trapshooter, Now in France, Brings Down Bird Bearing Letters
 From German Spy

Paris. September S.-CBy Special Cable )-There is Certain United States signal service sergeant tname deleted by censor) who has been able of late to combine a little pleasure with his business. It may be said that before the war the sergeant was rated as one of the top guns at a we'll known trap shooting club in tne states
 The particular front in which the sergeant operates is infested with German spies.
 One night, the German big guns opened on the Y. NJ. c. A. hut just back of the front line trenches. Every night. just at a certain hour, this hut was filled with soldiers on their way to the trenches and apparently the Boche knew this.
 Fortunately the troops had moved a little earlier that night, for during the fire the Red Triangle hut was de- stroyed, one of the secretaries was wounded and the other had 8 narrow escape from death.
 The signal service sergeant and his squad were repairing signal wires back of the trenches. He halted in his work and gazed s1yward. A pig con was going over his head. The sergeant watched it idly, calculating
  three and half drams of powder and an ounce and quarter of No. 8 chilled.
 A few minutes later the sergeant stopped again. Another pigeon had arisen from the wood behind, and aft CT circling the tree tops. winged it's way overhead. Then a third pigeon arose. The former trap shooter tar ried no longer. He bolted into the quartermaster's department clicked a salute and shouted.

 Soon the sergeant might have been seer standing behind hedgerow gag ing toward the nearby wood. Present. ly he stiffened, murmuring pull" The .12gauge swung briefly into an arc; it cracked and a crumpled ball of feathers came tumbling to the ground. It was pretty clever shooting, The bird was high, going over fast, and quartering. kill" murmured the sergeant, methodically, as he retrieved the fallen game.
 That afternoon the sergeant got four other birds. Attached to the leg Of each pigeon was a code message in German handwriting.
 short time later a detachment of military police got the owner of the pigeons. In his blouse and sabots he looked like any of the peasants, filling the fields behind the lines. On be- ing stripped, however, he proved to be a German under officer.

 Representative McArthur of Oregon, said he would oppose all attempts to insert a government ownership clause in the bill, declaring there already IS too much government ownership.
 The House today went on record as favoring the 50-year lease period with the government or any municipality having the right to take over power projects at the expiration of the leas- ing period upon payment of the net in vestment. An amendment by Repre- sentative Doremus of Michigan giving the government the right to take over the projects at any time were voteo down.
