Kansas City, Mo-, June I4.-"The

Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, in Flag
Day address here today. ...
The president of the United

senting our people abroad as a ma
ton is not serving as a party poll
tician. He serves as spokesman in
Europe for all Americans. What our
nation needs, then. is more national
patriotism and less political party
ISM"
Lewis cited history in support of
his contention that the peril OF every
people comes not during conflict, but
after war has ceased, and he con-
tinued:
This nation will come from the
peace table without friends. The ma
tons that are not of the so-called al
lies will 60 away preaching revenge
against the United States as the au-
thor of all their losses; each nation
will hold the United States respons-
IDLE for what it does not get, how
ever much it may obtain.
Germany will charge us with re-
sponsibility for burdening its nation
with debt. Some Russians will
charge US with failing her, and others
will complain that we prevented de-
velopment of liberty there.
Japan, controlling the Orient, will
retaliate whenever possible against
our policy of excluding her people
and will sit with Oriental patience
quietly awaiting the hour when she
may join with .brooding Russia and
revengeful Germany in OPPOSITION to
the United States of America"

His Bridal Night" is one of the
liveliest little farces the screen has

screen acting. Never has she done

She is real, vivid, living. With her

TOBACCO ACREAGE
DECREASE TO BE
NEAR 40 Per CENT

The decrease in the acreage that
will be planted to tobacco this year In
the Miami valley will average about
40 per cent instead Of rs per cent, as
was stated in dispatches from Dayton,
according to Elmer Kimmel. one or
the Preble county delegates to the
Miami Valley Tobacco Growers asso-
citation at Dayton, Monday. Mr. Kim
mel, who lives eleven miles north OF
Eaton, spent Wednesday in Richmond
in company with his brother, Estey
Kimmel, and Fred WHEREBY. also Preb-
lie county tobacco growers.
According to Mr.. Kimmel, 200 to-
bacco growers attended the conference
| in Dayton. Among the Preble coun-
tians in attendance were Jesse Shear.
Wilbur Chrisman, .. j. Mckee, E. ].
/ Bushman and c. E. Ulrich.
The decrease in the amount OF land
that will be given to tobacco this year
will be between 80 and so per cent OK
| that Of last year." said Mr.. Kimmel.
II got these figures from the reports
from all over Miami valley made ut
the Dayton meeting. The tobacco that
has been purchased this year in the
six counties Of the valley as unit
will mot exceed the amount produced
by one township Of the district. We
figure that we can break even this
year by planting more ground In corn
and less in tobacco. With tobacco at
1900 pounds an acre and selling at ~
cents a pound, we could plant the
same amount Of ground to corn and
come out proportionately as well"
