the bonds it wa claimed Gov. Longi-

just before Gov. McLaurin went Out

to the claim that "Longino left" so
much money in the State Treasury.
he said that was something that
every Governor did and that measur-
ed by that standard alone. the pres
ent executive would be eA,titled to a
chrome for the reason that circum-
stances would make it so that nearly
a million dollars would be left there
by him. This, Mr.. Johnston stated,
grows out of the fact that just before
a Governor ~retires in Mississippi, all
the sheriffs make their returns, their
final settlements. and pay over to the
state treasury the biggest part of
their fall collection of taxes.

BALTIC STATES MENACED
Esthonia appeals for Aid as Is Boil
sheviil Divisions Prepare for
Attack

Fifteen Bolshevik divisions are
about to attack three Esthonian d.
visions and Esthonia has appealed to
Finland fer aid. according to ad-
vices reaching the State Department.
Finland has replied that she must
consult the Allies before acting and
in the meantime the Bolshevik army
is pressing on into Esthonia. In their
appeal to Finland for military aid the
Esthonians have pointed out that
they can resist no longer and that If
the Bolsheviks are not stopped the
Bolsheviks may capture the Baltic
provinces, take the ports OF Revai,,
Riga, and L:bau and establish direct
communication with Germany.
Some days ago the Esthonians
were sent an ultimatum by the Boil
sheviks demanding that Esthonia Sc
yer relations with the Allies and Fin
land, and give free passage to Boil
shevik troops through Esthonia. This
shows that the Bolsheviks have de-
ternined to overrun the Baltic States.
The Allies have demanded that the
German army i'll those states evacu-
ate so That if the German army vii!
not now cooperate with the Allies to
resist the Bolsheviks there is danger
that the Battic States may be held
by Bolsheviks instead Of Germans.
The operations and demands of the
Bolsheviks on Esthonia show clearly
that It is proposed to incorporate that
prir.iraEty in the Soviet territories.

Drive for Corn improvement AssO-
citation Even More Successful
Than Had Been Expected.

With a whoop and a bang the re
organization campaign OF the Mer-
Ger County Crop Improvement as
sociation got away TO flying start
at 7 O'Clock yesterday morning
Nine solicitors from the state
agricultural association began a
thorough canvass in Mercer and
Perryton townships. spreading the
doctrine Of organization and CO.
operation of the farmer. OF those
canvassed yesterday reports given
last night at a booster meeting held
at the Merchants hotel showed that
80 per cent had been signed a.
three-year members OF the Crop
Improvement association.
The two townships were not quite
completed yesterday. however, due
to the late start made by the So
licitors who arrived in this city
late on account of poor interurban
service. What was left is expected
to be wiped out today and was also
a great share of Eliza and Duncan
townships.
Highly gratifying 10 officials in
charge were the results obtained
yesterday Two solicitors OF the
nine signed every prospect called
upon, a showing considered re
markable. That the association
membership will total well ovor
1900 after the dust OF the drive
settles is practically assured.

COMING STRONG
TO HEAR BILLY
Mercer COunty Delegation at To-
nights Sunday Meeting Prom
Uses to be Large.

Tonight IS Mercer county night
at the Billy Sunday tabernacle in
Rock Island.
Indications, despite the bad
roads, were that . large crowd of
Aledo and Mercer people were de-
sirous of making the trip TO Rock
Island TO hear the noted evangelist.
The several churches of the coun-
ty have united to make tonight a
big night, with a large representa-
ton from this section. A consider
able number drove 10 Rock Island
today to hear both afternoon and
evening sermons.
Many auto owners have voluntar-
lily offered their cars for the trip
and there will be no need for any
one staying at home because of lack
of transportation facilities. 1t is
also probable that a late car will be
run over the Rock Island Southern
tonight to accommodate those who
make the journey by rail.
A reserved section has been
roped off for the Mercer delegation
in the tabernacle and every consid-
Grafton shown by Mr.. Sunday and
his staff. Rock Island is the nearest
the evangelist has been TO Aledo
since 1905 when he appeared in
Aledo.

CITY GOING TO
FIGHT HARD FOR
POWER SERVICE
Sends Three 10 Springfield TO Take
Part in Public Utilities
Hearing.

Tomorrow is the day set for the
hearing before the state public
utilities commission of city officials
Of Aledo, KeIthspurg. woodruff,
Viola and Joy and representatives.
of the Illinois Northern Utilities
company in the action begun by the
cities in protesting the light and
power service rendered by the
company.
At last nights meeting OF the city
council it was decided that Mayor
c. A. Beers and Alderman G. G.
Bowers should accompany City At
torney Robert L. Watson, leader Of
the fight against the company to
Springfield for the hearing.
From Keithsburg will come
Mayor c. c. Chafva, while Mayor
c. A. Morrow will represent JOY
Editor Swanson of the Woodruff
Dispatch will appear for that city,
while at a late hour this morning
Viola had not yet announced its
delegate.
A review of what has transpired
snice the resolution adopted by the
council some time ago favOring
protest before the state commission
was given by City Attorney Wat
son at last evenings session.
Admits Poor Service.
The Illinois Northern company
admits its service is poor and not
according to contract. The blame
is laid, however, at the door of the
Edwards river power plant. An at
tempt is made to pass the buck,
declared Mr.. Watson in setting
forth the matter. I'VE are not going
TO let them get away with it if it
can be helped" he stated. Our
quarrel is with the Illinois North
ern company. It is with this COM
pany that we are under contract"
That an order will be entered by
the commission commanding better
service is assured, according to
those in touch with the situation.
But what it's terms will be is a mat
ter of conjecture. That they be
stringent, guaranteeing prompt i'm
proyement, will be strongly urged
by officials of the five cities at the
hearing tomorrow.
The delegation left AIedo this
afternoon for Springfield.
