was at Chateau-Thierry when the
Marines checked the Hun on rush

Marines checked the Hun on rush
at the sacrifice of thousands of
lives. Mr.. Likens saw this fight
from his balloon above the
clouds and when firing ceased he
descended on the bloody field. On
both sides of the Velse River, he
says the ground was strewn with
the mangled bodies Of men, head
less trunks and broken bodies, and
dead horses. Fair faced young
Americans lay in pools of their
own blood beside the gray-coated
Germans who had died at grips in
the terrible fray Mr.. Likens
states that the hardest fought bat
tie was at Argonne forest. 1t was
here that most of the Ohio county
boys who lost their lives were kill
ed.
Though he was above the range
Of the guns, Mr.. Likens was a fav-
orite target for the Hun airmen
and his balloon was shot down
three times. He fell over two
thousand feet, with a parachute,
once suffering serious injuries. The
Young hero looks none the worse
Fl his experiences but there is an
air about him that would tell he
had been through awful scenes had
we not seen the service chevrons
on his sleeve. He spent over
year on the western front and in
Italy.

last quarter-century have lowered
higher than the Sage Of Oyster Bay.
When Deaths cold, clammy fing-
eTs clutched the soul of Theodore
Roosevelt and drew 1t away, there
passed from life one who has been
Commanding figure all these years,
always in the limelight and ever rea-
d. 20 battle for the principles of his
party.
The Herald is not in accord with
the political views of Mr.. Roosevelt
nor have we always approved of what
he said and did; but the least we can
say of the passing statesman is, that
we believe that in whatever he did,
though it conflicted with others
views, he did it in full sincerely, be-
lieving IL to be right. 10 o1t syer
accused Theodore Roosevelt of hypo-
crisy. He was not one who preach
ed war from the house tops and then
claimed exemption for his sons; all
OF them are in the service and his
baby-boy paid the great price with his
life.
As we foi.cw Teddy from tbs days
of his boyhood to the time OF IN
lamented departure, we are more aud
more impressed with the stalwart-
ness of his manhood and the nobili-
ty of his character. In all his varied
career he was true to the principles
he believed to be right. We see Am
at twenty, graduating from Harvard,
small in stature, bespectacled and
classical; we follow him IN his west
ern life when his alma mater was for
gotten and he lived the free life of
the plains, developing into a robust
manhood; at San Juan he is gallant
ly leading the Americans to victory;
in the White House he is guiding the
ship of state judiciously through seas
baset with dangerous shoals; in pri-
waite life, brave, conscientious and
outspoken. And when the panorama
of lis life has passed before us we
exclaim, He was typical Ameri-
can" which is the highest honor paid
to a modern man.
Our praise of Colonel Roosevelt
may sound rather supertluous for a
paper that differs from him, but we
are not so narrow as to refuse a
great man his dues. Mr.. Roosevelt
was on of the greatest statesmen of
all times.
Irrepressible, outspoken and mag
netic Teddy is gone! 1t is hard to
believe it. But with his passing a
great character vanishes from the
arena of history. Fallen before the
sickle of the Reaper, buried beneath
an avalanche of tears, may his bier be
garlanded with honor's fairest flow
ers and his headstone twined with
wisps of angel-hair while grateful
esteem keeps aglow the light of his
memory in the hearts of his country
men.

LEAGUE DATE SET

The annual membership meeting,
this year launching reorganization
of the Mercer County Crop I'm
provement association, probably
will be held during the first week
of October.
Although a definite time has not
been set by officials of the crop as
ISOLATION, word is awaited from the
state agricultural association, which
is to assist and supervise the mem
bership drive about a week after
the annual meeting.
1t was first thought possible to
hold the annual session during the
latter part of August, but due to
the Aledo chautauqua this date had
to be postponed. Although the
chautauqua later changed its dates
from Aug. q to 81 as originally
planned to Aug. "a to 2s, the state
association could not then come
here due to the heavy schedule of
work already arranged.
Word from the Illinois organ
ization is expected daily. When a
dozen campaigners from the state
association can be sent here-that
will mean the fixing OF the annual
membership meeting.

Leonard o. Snodgrass is a want

MANY FACTORS
enter IN DROP
OF CORN PRICE
Slump in Sterling Exchange, Hogs
and Weather Combine to Pull
Quotations Down.

Chicago, July 17.-Demoralizas-
ton in sterling exchange had an
unmistakeable bearish effect today
on the corn market. The fact that
sterling had fallen 20 points in
about aEweek appeared to have
left exporters unable to figure on
business. A drastic setback this
morning in the value of hogs tend
ed likewise to depress corn, and so
too did failure of bullish weather
predictions. Opening prices, which
varied from unchanged figures to
19sc lower, with September 1854
to 1861, and December 1.64A to
1.655, were followed by declines
all around.
Prevalence of labor troubles
tended to obstruct any important
development of rallying power.
The market closed heavy, &c to
az C net lower, with September
LA to 1.4H, and December
1925 to 1.63B.
In provisions, the market closed
at nearly the bottom point of the
session.
Oats weakened with corn. After
opening unchanged to 1c higher,
including September at S11a to SIC.
the market underwent a general
sag.
Provisions dropped with hogs
and grain. Buyers were scarce.

which Germany previously exer-
cised in Shantung and that but for
the war there would never have
been any change in the status of
those leases and economic priv
ileges, nevertheless 1t is evident
that acceptance of the Japanese de-
mand for Shantung on penalty of
her refusal to adhere to the league
of nations and peace treaty has
produced an unfavorable impress
sion even among the presidents
most ardent supporters. The pres
ident believes the League of Ma
will present opportunities for re-
vision of the ShantUng settlement
but it would benefit Anglo
Japanese relations far more if
Japan today were to Announce def
nitely the time when she would re-
turn to China the rights she has
received in Shantung, or if she
would negotiate an agreement
with China which would enable the
latter to sign the peace treaty
Some voluntary action by Japan is
confidently hoped for-by friends of
Japan lest the excellent progress
toward close relationship which
began with the coming of the Ishi
mission suffer as a consequence OF
the present debate.
Time For Japs to Talk.
1t is known that the American
mission urged the Japanese dele
gates to issue some statement of
the subject before President Will
son left Paris but the suggestion
was not fruitful of results. Per
haps when Japan herself realizes
the extent of the damage being
done by her by the present eontro-
versy statement of her intentions
with respect to Shantgng will be
issued. Whether 1t will come in
time to head off a joint resolution
by the senate irrespective of the
peace treaty denouncing the Shan
tung settlement and urging that
League of Nations make the prob
lem a matter OF immediate eonsid-
GRAFTON is hard to foreteli Ger
tainly the temper of the senate is
such that even though the League
Of nations and peace treaty may be
an expression on the sub
sct of Shantung seems inevitable.
