and dock material demanded in repa-
ration for the sinking of the interned
warships in Scapa Flow. Late reports
said their proofs of this inability were
so strong that experts of the allies
were disposed to consider an offer to

Germany's chief internal trouble
just now is financial. The premium
loan, by which it was hoped to raise
five billion marks, was a failure, and
some of the papers assert that open

Just what the London conference
discussed and what decisions it reach
ed, if any, is not known at this time,
as no official statement has been is
sued. Doubtless there was lot of talk
about the peace treaty deadlock in
the American senate. and certain Eu'
ropean correspondents were insistent
in their assertions that the British
and French were ready and willing to
accept any reasonable reservations the
senate might make in order to assure
the cooperation of America. The Eu-
ropean diplomats realize the urgent
need for an early declaration of peace,
say these correspondents, and one of
them asserts that Ambassador JUS
serand for weeks has been trying to
see President Wilson to assure him
that the senate's reservations are ac-
ceptable to France.
Meanwhile the sentiment in congress
in favor of compromise is growing
stronger daily, though the president
and the Republican majority continue
to "pass the buck" back and forth

at any price" He said that the presi
dent, when he declared he had no con
cession of any kind to offer and thai
all the responsibility rested on the Re
publicans, was merely giving notice tt
the senators to get busy and compro

him to compromise. Mr.. Hitchcocl
proposed the appointment of a con

Knox again attempted to have the sen

CORRESPONDENTS, CORNER

In former article under this head
we stated that a country newspaper
correspondent was prompted to give
their time and effort in gathering news
forAthe benefit that their community
received by such news being placed
before the public through the columns
OF the paper that published the corfes-
pondent's letter. At another time we
tried to describe what was legitimate
and unligitimate news.
Hewever. we want to briefly call
your attention to another form of news
items which are perfectly legitimate
but should be avoided if possible.
There are items that might have a
tendency to reflect on the good name
OF the community you represent. For
example, items calling attention to
sickness, unless some one is very i'll
are better unpublished less persons get
the idea that the community is an un-
healthy place to live in. Any item
that might reflect on the advantages
OF your community as place to live in
is good item not to notice unless it
Is OF great Importance. Death should
always be reported. In reporting
deaths, give full name and occupation
OF deceased, date and cause of DEATH
date and place of funeral, name of
of1clatlng clergyman, place of burial
II prominent person or old settler,
give sketch of life, being sure to go
to some one who knows; the family
will not look upon it as an intrusion if
you go direct to them.
Items of improvements, goodwill
and cheer are the kind that please the
reader and make him or her think
favorably of the community they come
from. Care should be taken that no
births or marriages be over looked.
In reporting marriages give full name
of bride and groom, names, of parents,
day and hour of ceremony, place of
marriage, name of person officiating,
whether reception followed ceremony,
where couple will reside, business of
groom. If they are particularly well
known, give furthur details, such as
dress of bride, best man, and brides
maids, decorations, etc. Do not give
list of presents unless specially re-
quested.

turned out. More than that, we do
our work here in n Of the best
equipped auto paint shops in the

Mr.. Christensen explained. since the
greatest care must be taken in order
to get that smooth finish which
marks all Christianson-painted au-
tos. In the shop owe the Sims Auto
company offices, as many as fifteen to
eighteen cars are usually waiting their
turn to be re-enameled or decorat-
ed and painted. If just a new coat
Of enamel Is needed the process Is
comparatively simple, but often the
entire color scheme of the car must
be changed, and it is here that the
excellency Of Christianson service
shows itself.
To entirely repaint a car, fifteen
coats of paint are usually needed, and
for every finish the highest grade and
most expensive brands must be used.
