The dates of these hearings will be announced from time to time. The board has a large amount of work to do in preparing the annual budget for the town and the public hearings by no means represent the amount of time that each member has to give to the duties of the position.
 Only very small number of voters took the opportunity to declare their Iarty preference during the hours that the registrars were in session las. Friday. These officials were in session from noon to 9 o'clock but only a very small number appeared although there were three places where they might have gone before the registrars had there been any desire to do so.
 The registrars will hold another session Friday of this week when the hours will be the same and the places where they will sit also the same

BIG MILK TRUST
 IS NOW FORMING
 CHARGES LAWYER

Cleveland, Aug. 7.-Combination of milk companies of nearly the scope and power of the five big packers is in process of formation In the East and Middle West, according to Clyalioga county Prosecutor Samuel Doerfier, who is directing the Grand Jury investigation into the high cost of living In Cleveland.
 Nfr Doertler said, according to in formation reaching him, that the milk combine is to include all territory be- tween New York and Chicago. Ger tain powerful milk dealers, he was told, were in combination with big bankers to wipe out the smaller dealers. This object, he said, was to be obtained by making it diff cult for the small dealers to obtain loans from the banks and then only at high interest.
 Certain loan agencies, he said, were to be subsidized by the big bankers in order to leave no loophole for the small dealers Eventually, the little fellows were to be driven out of busi- ness and the whole market seized by the combine.
 'I have what believe reliable in formation on this combine" said Mir. Doerfier. 'T intend to go to the bottom of 1t with the Grand Jury"
 MIX and ice cream dealers were summoned to appear before the jury today. Witnesses from New York, Chicago and Washington will be call ed, he said

 DEEPEN DS CLAIM
 JUC0SLAVS MAKE

Washington. Aug. 5.-Dr. voyslav M Yovanovitch. chicf of the Jugoslav Bureau fin Washington. issued a state ment tonight in reply to declarations made in tho Senate yesterday by Sen ator Sherman of Illinois regarding the F9urne question. The statement which said that Senador Sherman had doubt less been misled as to facts, contin- mes.
 Prom incorrect, imaginary, forged, and misquoted documents and facts 1t was not difficult to draw such con- clusions as Senator Sherman gave ut- terance to. 'BTuma is Italian in blood, language. and traditions,' said he, in spite of the fact that an overwheln- 1rps majority of Plume people (of Italian and Slav origin) has sent pc titions to the Peace Conference at Paris declaring themselves against the annexation of their city by Italy. The Jusosiav state is an experiment. he said. fin spite of the fact that such a state existed successfully in the past and was recrssted recently not by the Peace Commissions but by tho free will of the people.
 .'He calls t1e JugosIav people @ polygiSt psopl3' in spite of the fact that tho Serbs. the Croats and the slovsnes gro people of the same race, speaking the same language, and having the same national char acter as the American people from Illinois. Indiana and Nebraska. He calls their country another Mexico with no more right than one would ha,-A to stylo in such a manner the Australian Commonwealth, and with less right than ono has to style In such a manner Italy herself. And he forgets the most essential fact Ca fact admitted now in history that the last war zvas largely provoked by German ambition to open her road to the East through the Balkans. and that the only way to preserve the peace in the Balkans and fin Europe Is to set aside Italy from the Balkans and to forbid Italian TmpsriaIIsts in their childish ambition. to initiate the German game"

PKONY AGENT
 IS COLLECTING
 WAR REVENUES

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 7.-Collec- tor James J. Walsh, of the. Internal Revenue has been advised by Com missioner Daniel c. Roper, that one Earl Smith, alias R. C. Hughes has been posing as a Deputy Collector in the Tennessee District and fraudulent ly collecting special taxes on jewelry, soda and other taxes that might be due by merchants operating a gen. eral country store. The principal collections made by him appear to have been made on jeweIry, and he has been furnishing receipts on ''Arco Safety receipt forms.
 Smith, alias Hughes, has probably at some time been in the Revenue Service or else in close touch with success of his game.
 He is a man , ft., 10 in. in height, rather slenderly built and between the ages of 25 and 30 years. His hair is sandy or brown and his teeth, ir regular in length, are i~regularly set in his mouth. At one time he wore Q light grey suit and a panama hat, and on another occasion wore a blue suit It is his custom during his visits to merchants to display a metal badge and in his conversation refer to raids carried on in Kentucky by him and others.
 It is quite possible that ths1 man may work his way into this district and for this reason. Collector walsh warns all merchants especially in country towns to be on the lookout for him. Should he turn up, they are requested to notify the police and the Revenue office at once.
 Every duly authorized Revenue Col lector carries his complission with the Collectors seal on 1t, with him, and it Is the privilege of the mer- chant to ask to see this.

As the terrifying panorama unfolds in Europe the dimmest political vision can see why we should not involve ourselves. The war is to be between the Hayes and the Have-nots. In Rus sia, Hungary and the Teutonic coun- tries the Hayes and Have-nots have already tried conclusions and the Haye-nots seems to be in the as- cendant.
 It is not merely a case between individual Hayes and Have-nots but between nations that Have" and na- tions that Have Not" The bankrupt nations, backed by their bankrupt peoples, are looking with avaricious frenzy upon the nations which still possess sufficient assets for liquida- tion.
 "The Microbe of Bolshevism at tacks defeated nations, but not victor ious ones," said President Poincare Of France recently.
 Let us assume that he is right ana that France and Italy are safe from immediate revolution. What of the future? The microbes of Bolshevism are just beyond the Rhine. They may be defeated today, but they will wax fat on the corpse of central Europe and multiply by millions. Apparently the only way to crush them is by war fare, by fighting that may continue for many years. Are we to plunge into this maelstrom with the frail life belt of the league of nations as our only protection? Or, to change the metaphor, can we hope by pouring the oil of the league on the ocean Of European anarchy to still the waves to perfect peace?-Ex.
