 The great fair at Niznhi Novgorod. Russia has just closed. doing a busi- ness of more than $60 900 900 in a few weeks time he said.
 Russia has a population of 1S0, ,000,- 600, five times as many people as South America-she has an immense and rapidly growing purchasing power that means a big and expanding mar ket for many lines of products that are manufactured in the state of In diana. Russia, in developing her flour industries needs the flour machinery that has made Indianapoli famous all over the world.
 Russia is swiftly raising her stand ard of living. she wants modern app1i- anceS and in many of her sections she is in the market for kitchen ca loinetS s, another famous Indiana commodity. There is big field for automobile ac- cessories and tires At the fair, I am informed, that they could have closed business for more than s5.090.000 on both automobile tires and automobile accessories. Indiana has these items, and is doing a large export business on many of them to other countries. "We must keep in mind that Russia has articles to sell Us.

You've got to know all about it, I suppose, so I might as well tell you in the first place. My poor dear little back is lame because a man kicked it, that's ,aH.',
 "A map-kicked-it." The girl with the serious eyes looked her amazement. "A man-kicked-it.' Why Gracia, how could that be-"
 Tt happened last Sunday morning" explained the girl with the coquettish smile, obviously not averse to mar rating the story. And I was as much surprised as you are, Jessie perhaps more so. And-it hurt.
 My cousin Belle was spending Sunday with Us, and about the middle of the morning she suggested that we go swimming. I never care much about the beach Sundays, it's so crowded but Belle seemed keen for it, so we started. And when we got to the Beach il was to find that a new slide had been put up for the children, and that all the grownups were enjoying it, of course.
 :. Belle was wild to try. so we stood in line-also in the full sunshine-for ages, step by step getting nearer our goal At last we reached the foot of the ladder, and there surprise mum Der one awaited me. The nan-the big fat man-imnediateiy in front of us stood aside politely, and offered us his turn Afterward I was sorry for this politness, but at the moment I was charmed never knew before how courtIy man-even a big fat man could look in a bathing suit. In fact I never liked the looks of any big fat man before
 Did you like the looks Of this one 2" the girl with the serious eyes inquired, 
 tish smile merely continued her tale
 Well. we clim bed up the ladder as fast as the crowd in front would let us and Belle went down the chute a-f flying. From the joyous cry she sent back I knew she enjoyed the experience. So l launched off gayly. and surely had a good time going down. But

Thousands of tons of American med ical supplies. captured in Runaria by the Hungarian army in 1917191S, and reca blurred by the Runanians upon their occupa tion of Budapest. will soon be on their way 10 Bucharest. the Rumanian capital.
 The supplies. consisting Of q train load of huge cases were shipped via Vladivostok in 1916. this being the cnly route then open to Runlania. Many of these supplies belonged to the American Red Cross, which was driven out of Rurnania by the Aus Hungarian invasion of 1917. The remainder were sold to the lithuanian army hy American drug firms.
 Despite the fact that the typus was raging in Rumania at the time and these supplies were desperately need ed by the civilian population the AuStro- Hungarians loaded every case, particularly American instruments and Hospital goods, on their booty trains which left Bucharest almost daily. Together with these supplies went the equipment of every hospi- tai and pharmacy in Rumania the population being left to get along as best it could.
 Upon the discovery of these supplies in warehouses in Budapest. the part that belonged to the American Red Cross was immediately turned over to it by the Runlanian army. Captain Melvin NJ.

Sugar Not Needed For Canning.

Don't let surplus fruit go 10 waste because you. cannot obtain sugar to use for preserving purposes. Fruit can be successfully canned without il and it can be sweetened when served next winter, or syrup can be used in place of sugar to sweeten it now.
 To can without sugar. simply fill the jars containing the fruit with clean hot water, instead of the usual syrup. and process the jars in a hot-water bath. The fruit will not spoil. but il will not have quite as fine flavor and color as that which is packed in sy- rup.
 Directions for canning by the cooked in the can method should be carefully followed to can success

 Rheumatic Pains and TwinEes.
 Mir James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this ter ribie disease left him helpless and un- able to work.
 He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study. that one can be free from rheu tism until the accumulated impurities. commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the Joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind he consulted physicians. made experiments and finally compounded prescription that quickly and completely hanished every sign and symptom of rheumatism fro m his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took it with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers.

AUTO THIEVES.

The way in which auto thieving has been carried on for several years past has made it perfectly evident that stringent methods should be adopted not only to apprehend the guilty ones out to deal with them ir a way that will discourage the practice.
 Stealing autos is profitable busi- ness Many are never recovered for the one that is and it has gotten to the point where machines are stolen to order. This is done when a crook ed dealer in second hand cars is told what character of car the purchasers would buy. In cities where there are a great many cars it is not difficult to locate just such car as is wanted and when the time is ripe it is driven away, treated in such a way as to eliminate Identification marks and the deal is completed This is only one of the many schemes connected with the theft of cars another being the hustling of stolen cars into other states
 While the proposed legislation seems to be d bit unusual it cannot fail to be realized that drastic steps are need ed in dealing with this problem. There has already been passed in the house a bill that provides that auto chief can he tried in a federal court in

CONFLICTING OPINIONS.

Close upon the heels Of the opinion recently given by former Justice Hughes in which he maintained thai the important feature concerning the fixing of rates and the taking away of the excess earnings Of railroads as pro- vided for in the Cummins railroad bill is conHscatory and therefore un constitutional. is that advanced by former United States Senator EIihu Root and others 10 the effect that MT Hughes has taken a wrong ricw Of The particular clause and -hat the Clm- r-r.ns law if passed woull be consfi- 1.tionaL
 This whole matter revolves abcut the matter of making rates MT Hughes contends that fnasmuch as fair rates are fixed for the roads they are entitled to all the income that is received therefrom. that it will be a gross injustice to take from them any money received under such conditions except that it be done by taxation
 On the other hand those who ques- tton his opinion hold that inasmuch as the rates are not applied to indi- riduaI roads but are generally applied ro all the regional roads regardless al fo whether they are weak or strong with consideration being given to the weak. there are roads that will receive excessive earnings and to these the law would apply The. point is made thai fl rates were made for indfvidua roads instead of for all roads in a certain section the Hughes contention would be proper

 siberian Russia is first of all a modernized country. despite all re- ports to the contrary more so than the majority of the sections of Latin America. It has factory systems with more than 10.ooo,oo0 of operatives. The best proof that we can sell into this market is the fact that we control to- day the agricultural implement trade of Siberian Russia. If we can do it with few articles we can do it with many.
 "South and Central America have reached their capacity in buying for the next five years. It may be possi- ble to increase our exports. My own personal opinion. is that we will lose more than 90 per cent. of the busi- ness we have gained in Latin Amer ica. This will be due to the fact that Latin America is now the big goal of the German manufacturer and also because of the fact that Latin Amer ica has the raw materials that Ger many will be able to use. The United States will lose trade on wearing ap- parel corsets, cosmetics, perfumes and the 101 articles that have met the de- mand of the fashion markets of Latin America during the last few years. This is because Paris creates her styles for Latin America. not for the United States, as is generally sup posed.

DisRESPEcTiNG THE LAW.

Perhaps il would be difficult to prove that the spirit that is back of the race riots throughout the country is the same that is promoting all the manifestations against law and order but it cannot fail to be recognized that they are headed in the same di- rection even if the purpose is differ ent Those who resort to lynching and commit murder. those who stir up race prejudices. those who show defiance to any provisions of the law that interfere with their desires and those who announce that they will not recognize certain laws if they are passed ani placed on the statute books all show the same disposition in regard 10 respect for the law. They take a denant attitude and make il plain That they will do as they please when they sci their minds on attain ing their object.
 This makes it plain that even though these very people can deter mine right from wrong they are not disposed to. They treat law as if it was 2 scrap of paper to be obeyed by certain people and not by others. It is ccrta inIy anything but a right sta nd that is taken by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi when he de- clared in the senate that he could not say one word against the crowd that ca blurred the criminal in Omaha and punished the crime. yet it shows the attitude of a Iawmaker of the nation relative to respect for law. l. is along the line of the statement by a labor leader who declared that forced ar biJration or a law against strikes would not be accepted.

 The old sharp distinction between the German naval and German mili- tary forces is disappearing. As the navy has virtually no ships, the naval officers and men are largely avail able for shore duty.
 According to information reaching the American army headquarters in Coplenz at the present time such vol unteer naval units as exist serve prac- tically as troops along the coast. and transfers of naval men to and from the Reichswehr. or national army, are frequent. This Is made easy by the fact that both the war and navy de- partments are under Defense Minister Noske.
