The entente mission declared
that it intends to regard the dema-

The aim of further occupation OF

The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger's
Budapest correspondent says an
army of 10000 men has been formed
secretly under the command of
Major Georgey. The correspondent
adds that the non-socialists and the
rural populations are supporting the
new government.
Red Army Advancing.
The new Hungarian Soviet gov
eminent intends to effect an alliance
with the Russian bolsheviki, accord
ing to telegram which the Berlin
correspondent of the Budapest
Pesti-Naplo says he has received
from that city.
According to this telegram, three
Russian ENJOYS already in Budapest
declare that Russian red army is
now on a line from Brody to
Stanislau and is advancing on Lem
berg, approximately rs miles dis
tant. This army, the telegram CON
tinues, is expected to arrive in Buda-
pest within a fortnight.
In publishing the foregoing re-
ports. the Tag Blatt expresses
skepticism, comparing them to
similar reports frequently spread
throughout Germany.
A dispatch from Budapest dated
Friday said. that at that time order
was being maintained by the troops
and the national guard. The revo-
lutlonary government, it was
stated, had issued prohibition
against the carrying of arms, max
ing the penalty for disobedience
five years penal servitude and a fine
of $4,000 kronen.
Other dispatches announce that
order prevails in the country dis

west and east coasts OF South
America. Japanese matches even
appeared in California and through
cut the Pacific coast region.
Japan's Exports High.
Japan's export figures went up
with a jump beyond that of any
other country in the past four years.
1t is estimated that the value of her
exports during 1918 will amount to
100000 yen ($973,000,00O), an in
crease of 20 per cent oyer 1917 and
220 per cent over the total exports
for 1914.
But Immediately upon the signing
of the armistice with Germany in
November, Great Britain and the
United States made important re-
laxations in restrictions upon ex-
ports and trade began to flow from
these two countries back into its
wonted channels in the far east and
elsewhere on the Pacific. Ships,
moreover, were released from war
work by both governments and
Japan was faced with renewed COM
petition against her bottoms. The
result has been according to the
journal, something approaching pan
ic on the Japanese industrial ex-
changes. Older and more solid
companies have stood firm but the
newer wildcat" industrial and ship
ping concerns which had been built
on the bubble of unprecedented OPP
portunities have either gone to
smash or are busy recognizing
along conservative lines.
Competition From U. S.
The dyes and chemical industries
of the island empire, largely built
and fostered by war conditions, are
hardly strong enough to face COM
petition from Britain and the United
States. The result, chemical stocks
have fallen heavily in anticipation
of that competition, especially in
soda ash, bicarbonate of soda and
potashes. In the metal trades there
has been a similar slump, stocks
calling off as much as 40 to 50 per
cent in notable instances.
The board of trade organ quotes
the Osaka Mainichi as saying that
since the armistice 80 per cent of
Japan's $50 shipbuilding plants have
shut down and of the remainder
one-half are undergoing the process
of reorganization. For even with
the release of American steel plates,
Japanese shipbuilders cannot sue
cessfully compete with the tremen-
dous shipbuilding program of Uncle
Sam

Two More Bachelors Eagerto
Find Only Girl Through Bee
One of Men, Who Appeal to Metropolitan Page Editor
Has Nice Farm, While the Other Is Building
Home in Nearby City,

Encouraged by the results secured
by R. U. Ready, twentieth century
farmer, who appealed to the Metro
politan page editor to find him a
mate, two more, bachelors have writ
ten the editor asking aid in finding
the "only girl"
Both have good dispositions, they
say, and possess loving natures.
Better still, both are in a position
to furnish homes when they find the
girl they are looking for, according
to their letters.
One has a home in the process
of construction in a neighboring
city. That the BODYBUILDING in
stinct is as strong in the breast of
the man as in that of the woman,
has often been shown, but, what,
after all, is a home without 4 wife
waiting to welcome you at the door
after hard days work?
No doubt the "Homebuilder," let
us call him that, has begun to real
ize that although the joy of build
ing home for a time may suffice
to fill his life with joy. only the
presence of a little woman he can
call his wife will bring complete and
lasting joy. Perhaps, also, he pic
lures a group of happy children
playing about the doorstep, waiting
to greet him-his children.

Harry was born in Pennsylvania
in the ancient town of Greensburg
in 1870. He came to Iowa with his
parents when he was a small boy
grew Up at Stewart, Ia. where he
went through the public schools,
including the high school. Then
he took a course in the Dexter Nor
nal college at Dexter, Ia, and was
already to teach.
But $50 month didn't prove
attractive to him very long. He
was a II o'clock Teller in o'clock

into the real estate business on the
south side in 1895. He prospered
and later associated himself with

citation he still continues.
Harry is one of those efficiency
fellows who has the gift of accom-
plishing a great deal with a mini
mum of effort. Though apparently
never in a rush, he does an enor-
nous amount of work.
He is bachelor, but not

There has been revival Of the
annual story OF the big pike having
been seen in Carter lake. This time
the fish was seen by George H.
Walker, member of the Chamber Of
Commerce. He has filed an affi-
davit that the story is true to the
letter.
Walker spent a greater portion
of the Fourth of July ON the waters
of Carter lake, tempting the bass to
take the lure. He failed to land
any bass, but in his affidavit he
alleges that he hooked a pike, or
some other kind of fish, and that
it was as large as a small whale.
According to Walker, he was cast
ing for bass, when all of sudden
something struck his hook, run the
line out to its full length and as
soon as it felt the prick of the hook,
turned and made straight for the
boat. 1t was then that Walker got
a glimpse of the fish, and he AYERS
that if it was an inch, it was four
feet long. Starting to reel in,
Walker again pricked the fish and
off it went, dragging the boat. About
this, time the rod flew into splinters

Biting On Rubber Bait
Makes Even Bass Feel
Like a Great Sucker

When a fish is hooked after he
has sunk his teeth into a nice,
juicy piece of bait, he at least has
the satisfaction Of having had nib
bic at something worth while as a
compensation for his doom. But the
latest thing in bass bait does not
rive him that satisfaction.
Out in Kansas City is an angler
to whom goes the credit for the
latest novelty, the rubber neck"
bait. The rubber neck" bait is an
imitation Of pork bait. 1t consists OF
| little wad Of white rubber, through
which the hook is driven, and to
which is attached = little narrow
remnant of pure white sheet rubber.
"This bait reproduees perfectly,
saws the inventor, "the serpentine
wriqgling motion Of real live min
now vhen seeking cover. Beside
being very durable. it has the ad-
vantage over real pork bait of be-
ing easy to carry and clean to use"
The "ruber neck is rapidly be-
coming popular with bass fisher
men and the inventor is. reaping a
harvest. The bait is attached either
directly to a spoon hook, or is
fastened by lacking in back of a
floating wooden Dowagiac minnow.
