NEWSPAPER MEN HIT PIPE

Hitting the pipe may be a terrible
vice in Chinatown, but not among
the newspaper men of South Bend,
Ind. There it comes pretty nearly
being virtue. For the newspaper
men of that town have banded them
selves together into the Pipe Smok,
ers Thrift Club, each member of
which is pledged not to smoke cigars
until he has purchased $40 worth of
War Savings Stamps.
The plan was started by a cub re-
porter who really did not like CT
CARS. but the thrift argument with
which he advocated his scheme were
unanswerable and met with immedi-
ate and enthusiastic response.
Consequently when South Bend
member of the Fourth Estate takes
his typewriter in lap TO write a
piece for the paper" his first move
is to fill UP the old "dudeen." Some
of the most effective illusions of one
society editor have been inspired by
the gurgle of well-seasoned corn
cob.
Even political and banquet cigars
are under the ban.

For the third time in State Fair
history a $4,000 premium has been
announced in connection with the five
gated Saddle Horse Stake which is
outstanding feature of the horse de-
partment of the Kentucky State Fair.
For seven successive fairs the pre-
miums in this ring had ranged from
$500 to 5000 with only one nights ex-
hibition Of the high steppers. In 1917,
Commissioner of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen made a whirlwind campaign
for funds and by his own personal,
brilliant, daring work, secured in dona-
tons the splendid sum OF $685.. 90,
leaping the total premiums for this
event to $4,000.
The announcement electrified the
show horse world and did just what
the commissioner calculated and de-
sired, imbued the breeders and exh:bi-
tors Of fine horses with new and keen

A show must be almost of super
quality to vie with the stunning and
spectacular saddle horse exhibitions
held nightly in the great 1--WE stock
pavilion of the Kentucky State Fair
and in effecting this happy consumma-
tion the incest judgment, sense Of spec
tacular values and practical knowledge
Is required
With the possession of these assets
already demonstrated by Hippodrome
shows in 1917-1S which were notable
amusement affairs, Kentucky State
Fair Secretary FOunt T. Kremer may
be relied on to equal or excel these
former showings and there is satisfac-
tory assurance in his announcement
that the 1919 roster of attractions will
be the banner array of State Fair his
tory.
The outstanding feature of this great
pavilion entertainment will be the ap-
pearance. for the first time in the
South, of the magnificent musical or
ganiZation known as the list Regi-
mental New York Guards Band with
Lieut.. Lambert L. Eben as director.
This band figured u all the war &C
tivities Of the metropolis and is in
constant demand for victrola and pia-
no-player work. The organization is
made up of forty well-trained and &C
complished musicians uniformed in
striking military array, and it boasts
soloists of high repute in the world Of
music. Its leader, lieut. Eben, is a
picturesque figure, and is said to be
one of the most brilliant directors in
America. Their programs will be
made up Of selections appealing to all
tastes.
OF the acts proper the most preten-
tious to be offered in the pavilion oval
will be the auto polo exhibition which
is second to none as an amusement
combining thrill, clamor, movement
and surprises. This game was intro
duced to State Fair visitors for the
first time last season and both in the
pavilion and on the race track if

AGAINST TOBACCO.

After a two-months' inquiry con-
Quoted in New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, and elsewhere, to deter
mine whether there was concerted
campaign to bar the use of tobacco
now that liquor has gone by the
boards, the Association Opposed to
National Prohibition issued state
ment charging that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was
backing a movement to have antinico-
tine laws enacted in every State in
the Union.
The w. c. T. u. will celebrate its
hftieth anniversary five years hence
and the organization is hopeful of
having Congress submit a constitu-
tional amendment before March 20,
1924, its semi-centennial, forbidding
the cultivation, sale, use or export of
the weed for smoking or chewing
purposes, the statement charged.
1.-The 100000 drive" begun last
March by the White Ribboners, it is
alleged, has for its object the crush

end the anti-prohibitionists say,
$500, 900 will be expended ostensibly
on Child welfare" health and NOR

and other propaganda methods by
means of the churches and public

spills are frequent.
Another act of dare devil type is
to be presented by the Johannes Joef

illustration Of the possibilities Of ply

air while revolving suspended by teeth
or hair. AS climax to a thrilling pro-
gram two of the Portals slide from
either end Of the pavilion roof sus-

You may learn something from the
following by w. H. Ireland, a travel
ing salesman Of Louisville, Ky. "In
the summer of 1888 I had a severe
attack of cholera morbus. I gave the
hotel porter fifty cents and told him
to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy and to
take no substitute I took a double
dose of it according to the directions
and went to sleep. At five o'clock the
next morning I was called by my or
der and took a train for my next
stopping place, a we'll man."

any hard corn, soft corn, or corn be-

A tiny bottle Of "Freezone" costs
little at any drug store; apply few

1t was designated as Marine Corps
week by the foregoing proclamation
signed and issued by Mayor W. f.
Freeman this morning.

be sent to relieve the Marines with
the Army of Occupation in Germany, |
stand ready to do it, | understand that
Marines who fought through five major
battles of the war are still walking
guard in Germany. These man have
been across for two years or more, and
if anybody is entitled to come home,
most certainly it is these warscarred
veterans who have done more than
their share
Il believe that the Marine Corps
offers the best advantages possible to
any young man who wants TO broaden
hia mind, enlarge the scope of his
experience, and develop the muscles
of his body. | would urge any young
man not hampered with domestic ties
to join this branch of the service. Ard
more will always be here for him to
return to- but his youth and his free
dom to 90 when and where he wills
will not always be with him"

Ratification Of THE
r PEACE TREATY BY THE
GERM A n ASSEMBLY \
THE PACT DOES NOT BECOME Ell,
FECTINE UNTIL SIGNED by
THREE ALLIED POWERS.

Paris, July 9.-Contradctory reports
are received relative to the ratification
of the peace treaty by the german as
sembly.
Ratification of the peace treaty by
the German national assembly removes
all doubt of the acceptance of the
terms by Germany.
The national assembly by ratifying
the treaty makes it possible for the
allied and associated powers to raise
the blockade. Official notification was
sent Germany June 80 that the block
ade would be raised when the treaty
was ratified Placing this condition
on the raising of the blockade, was
looked upon in peace conference CIR
cles as a sure plan for securing speedy
ratification by Germany.
The council of five on Monday de-
cided to lift the commercial censorship
on communications with Germany sim
ultaneously, with the removal of the
blockade.
The peace treaty does not become
effective for all the signatory powers
until three of the great allied powers
in addition to Germany have ratified
it. The resolution adopted by the ALI
ed council concerning the blockade was
as follows:
THE superior blockade council is
instructed to base its arrangements for
resembling restriction upon trade with
Germany upon the assumption that the
allied and associated powers will not
wait to raise the blockade until the
completion of ratification, as provided
for at the end of the treaty with Ger
many, but that it is to be raised i'm
mediately upon receipt of information
that the treaty of peace has been rati-
fled by Germany"
PRONUNCIATION of the resolution rati-
flying the treaty is dependent upon the
signing of the resolution by President
Ebert.

CITY COMMISSIONER
|. CARTER |NSPECTS ALL
WORK ON PIPE LIN {

City Commissioner Tom Carter, who
was recently transferred from the de-
partment of streets and alleys to that Of
water and sewers, has inspected WORK
now being done on the Hickory creek
pipe lire that is to supply water to the
city.
He reports that Engineer Matthews
Uenr to the site of the dam on the creek
Tuesday and that work on that struc-
ture would begin today. Already 1000
feet of ditch has been eXcavated on the
nCrth end of the line and the pipe will
cross Caddo creek today
When this work is accomplished it
will relieve both ditching machines ready
for use on the highlands which will
greatly facilitate the work.
Mr. Carter stated that it would lie his
purpose from now on to stay with the
pipe line in order to get it finished at
the earliest possible moment. He pre-
ticts that if no i'll luck overtakes his
crew, water will be running through the
completed line and into Arlmore not
later than september first
Mr. Carter is not at all alarmed over
the present water situation. He says
there is more water in the lake by three
fcet than there was at this time last
year, and he sees no reason why people
who are not at all conversant with the
situation should be apprehenslve. In
assuming his new duties Commissioner
Carter stated that he had many little
details to attend to before taking active
charge. but all seems in the clear at
present and he will rush the line to
completion.
