FINDS GERMANY
WILLING TO PAY
John H. Patterson Believes
All Europe Recovering,
Holland Says.

In midsummer of this year John II.
Patterson. who created the National
Cash Register Company and then de-.
veloped 1t so that It Is ranked among
the great American industries, visit
ed Europe having in mind. first. per-
sonal contact with the cash register
companies Of Europe. especially In
Germany. Furthermore he was, anx-
ious to examine credit and exchange
conditions.
Since Patterson's return he has been
able TO tell his friends in Dayton and
In New York City many things that
were of interest and Of Importance.
In view Of the immediate necessity
which France and other European ma
tions confess now exists for aid from
the United States. especially credits
and loans. II is regarded as a most
gratifying fact that in all probability
the French nation will get back to
normal condition IL the United States
aids more speedily than she did after
the Franco-Prussian war. That at
least is the impression Mr.. Patterson
received.
But perhaps the most interesting
and from the point Of view OF husi-
ness expansion the most imnortant
of the observations made by Mr.
Patterson were those which he had
opportunity to make during the visit
Of two weeks at Berlin.
At this time many propositions or
suggestions are made which refer to
the renewal of our trade with Ger
many and of Germans trade with
us. There does prevail some in
credulity respecting the feasibility OF
an immediate renewal OF trade upon
n large scale with Germany. Summed
up In a word. the impression he re-
ceived was that Germany will re-
cuperate far more rapidly than is
expected. He found that the lead
ers there frankly confessed that
Germany was thoroughly beaten in
the war and must pay the penalty Of
defeat Not anywhere did he dis
cover an intention. lurking or ex-
pressed. to evade the payment of the
indemnity.
Mr.. Patterson says the more food
Germany receives the less danger OF
the spread of Bolshevism. and he
was gratified to learn that supplies
Of food are beginning to flow into
that country.
In Germany. as well as in France.
Italy and Belgium. and from an
other point OF view the United
States. the immed late question OF
utmost importan nee is one whose an
swer will show how to furnish nee
essary credit. Mr.. Patterson was
informed by German bankers that
il would be necessary to perfect
ways and means whereby German
purchasers can obtain credits.

WEATHER MAN SEEMS
COAL MINERS FRIEND

Is the. weather man working with
the miners by letting down a cold
wave out of the November skies and
making one look reproachfully at the
yawning coal cavity In the basement
On the other hand, human nature is
working for the public: for consid-
cradle heat Is engendered In the cir
cumambient air by demanding a little
old hard Cor sofo coal from the local
dealers.
II isn't the ublic that annoys the
local dealers. but II IL the harassine
situation of trying to make one lump
Of coal do the work Of two. IL was
learned yesterday from reliable
sources here that there is ample coal
for immediate needs" and that no
one need start an anticipatory shfver.
Soft coal in reasonable amounts"
may be obtained from a majority OF
the local yards. A few firms are
lucky enough 10 still have a supply
OF egg coal on hand from earlier
stocks. But little OF this will be left
week hence they say. Soft coal and
range ~oal are increasingly scarce.
while some dealers have had their
cars tied up.

STOCKS DROP
To new MARK
Low Record for Season
Struck by All
Issues.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Nov S.-Stocks were
weak and active throughout the en-
tire session today and closed almost
at the bottom prices with material
net losses. Some of the low prices
were new ones for the year. par
ticularly in rails. Extreme declines
ran on the average above two points,
but in many cases were as high as
FIVE or six and in the case of Gen.
eral Motors amounted to no less
than 3. Even silver broke. being
down to $50. against $l.S5 on We'd
nesday.
Although much selling was profess
sional and for short account it was
evident that liquidation took place
on a large scale. This liquidation was
largely for the account Of persons
who had come through the panic Of
two weeks ago. but who became
alarmed when they saw the low prices
of the panic approaching again. There
as also liberal selling for the account
Of persons who bought in that panic
and also for many who took the rally
seriously and purchased stocks in the
early part of this week.
1t is now evident that the rally
which was a feature of Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday was forced
by banking interests. The banking
interests may have been perfectly
sincere in the belief that they could
stop the big decline. The expert
ence OF today throws doubt upon
their ability to do this. Therefore
the market Is in worse condition
than IL was at the bottom of the
panic two weeks ago for the bank
ing interests had confidence in
their Judgment The technical con-
Gition of the market is therefore
shattered

NEW KOONS OIL WELL
COMES IN SATURDAY

The second well on the Koons farm
came in about noon Saturday. When
shot the spurt of gas, water and oil
made a pretty sight as they flew into
the air for height of 200 feet It
was mostly water, but enough of oil
and gas to give local cooring.
The we'll had been drilled in $50
feet, and 300 quarts of glycerine were
dropped down for the supreme test.
When this charge exploded one could
feel the shock and hear the rumble
from the center of the earth.
The second we'll was drilled in near
the old gas well that was sunk down
over 5000 feet. There is still a mild
flow of gas in the old we'll and the
quantity Of gas sent up by the new
well indicates that an opening may
have been made between the two. Gas
continued to rise from the new well
until the water-and possibly oil
flowed in to check it's upward rise.
When the well was pumped, a
short time later, it did less than bar
rel day.
A third we'll is being drilled in a
short distance south of the second. It
will be in some time this week, moth
ing to prevent. There was lack Of
coal for fuel purposes the past week
but that shortage is not to occur
again. The third we'll is now down 400
feet. The second we'll showed IS
feet of oil sand.

BLOOD RECEIVES SENTENCE;
WILL NOT CARRY CASE UP

Motion for new trial for Claud
Blood, convicted last week Of murder
in the first degree in that on the night
of June 22 he shot and killed Marshal
Way Knapp, of Lodi, was overruled
by Judge Mcclure at Saturdays court
session. A motion made by Blood's
attorneys asking the court to reduce
the sentence to second degree murder
was likewise overruled. According to
law Blood will be taken to- the Ohio
penitentiary within 30 days, to be-
gin serving his sentence.
Attorneys for Blood on Tuesday of
this week stated that while nothing
definite had been decided, it was not
likely that the case would be taken
to higher court.
Much discussion developed fellow
ing the jury's verdict last week as to
the difference between a first degree
verdict with the recommendation of
mercy and a second degree verdict.
The difference is this: In second de-
gree murders the board of pardons
has the authority to review the sem

JOHNSON FOUND GUILTY
OF CUTTING u TREES

Elbert johnson, living in Granger
twp, accused of cutting and destroy
ing II fruit trees on the farm of Ed
Joachim on or about April 20 last
was on trial Monday. The prosecu-
ton put half dozen witnesses on the
stand while johnson alone appeared
in his own behalf.
The 72 trees were maliciously de-
stroyed and no attempt was made to
deny this. Johnson and Joachim's
farms adjoined, and tracks from the
orchard lot of Joachim were followed
TO the door of Johnson's home. John
sons boots and knife were shown as
exhibits in the trial and circumstan.
tial evidence was against johnson.
The prosecution endeavored to show
motive in fire that was started on
Joachim's side running into and de-
stroying several evergreens on John
sons. On the stand johnson denied
feeling badly over the loss, etc.
The jury gave verdict of guilt as
charged, and set the damage done at
1852. The penitentiafy sentence Of
from che to three years which the
crime carries with it was to have
been imposed by the court next Sat
urday.
