this country's war stocks abroad,
the other allied countries had not
yet been able to make an inventory.
He denied that motor trucks had
been left to go by the boards" de-
claring that all motor transport

Trucks in Germany were sold to
a syndicate for $l5,000,000, he said,

automobiles for $l,000,0O0. One lot
OF automobiles was sold in France
tor S400,00O,000. He asserted the
articles were sold for more than so

body of Maj. E. R. Orchard, clothed
in an army uniform, was found in
his room at a local hotel with a
bullet hole through the heart. AT
his side lay a .38 calibre revolver.
A coroner's jury found that death
apparently was due to bullet
wound self inflicted. No reason for
the act could be assigned by rela-
tives.
Since his return here several
months ago, Orchard has been en-
gagged in paving project. Prior
to the war he was a state deputy

prominent man of Kansas City. and
a beautiful young woman called on
him to marry them.
After the ceremony tne young man
gave Mr.. Crissman a wedding fee OF
SIS. Ten years later the minister
received another fee" of SIS when
the anniversary of the wedding
came around. A few days ago, when
the goth anniversary came, the mail
brought a third tee OF SIS. The ac-
companying letter said:
"We are congratulating ourselves
on this day with OUR two healthy.
mischevous boys and daughter in

this is the 10th anniversary of the
founding of our family. The girl Of

nor complained of her unbalanced
bargain.
