Robert M. Bumster, the Quincy

duel on the Burlington train on the
night of April 18th, died last Friday

better judgement prevailed and
Francis C. Landlord, his confessed
murderer, will likely be tried in
Quincy for the murder of Emil LIGHT,
the pawn broker.
T. E Pratt was the first to posi-
lively identify Landlord, and later
got confession out of him. The
man still declares that he alone res
cued the handcuffed prisoner from
the train, aud will not say that he
was his brother. Evidence is to tn e
effect however that it was Milford
Landlord, and the third man who
escaped with him in the automobile
was another of the brothers. Fran
els Landlord also confesses that he
s alone guilty. of the LIGHT murder
The confessed murderer is now
twenty eight years of age, aud as

ago. Mr.. Pratt recognized him as
one of bunch of boys who robbed

reform school. 1t is said his brother.

Germany Will Sign

Many Germans continue talking
along their old arrogant style. with
threats that if they are not suite d
with the peace treaty, they will de-
cline to sign it. Then they will
maintain al attitude of passive re-
sistance that will keep Europe in q
state of turmoil They threaten to
open the doors wide to bOlshevism.
and thus attempt to bring down the
entire fabric of civilization all over
the world. Which scares many
timed people,
The Germans long ago proved
themselves great buffers Where
would they be left if they carry out
their threats? They would be with
out raw materials they so greatly
need for a restoration of their indus
tries. Cotton, rubber, copper would
be very scarce. or non. existent
When they hand back stolen
Alsace and Lorraine and the Saar
valley, they will lack available sup
plies of iron and steel. Potash is
likely to be short for their crops.
They will be cut off from the ocean.
and can get nothing from chaotic
Russia. They will think many
times before deliberately going hun
cry, and condemning themselves to
idleness and anarchy.
AS for Germany going bolshevist,
it is not likely A nation brought
up for centuries on an ordered life,
will not in a moment throw away
all discipline. They have some
thing to gain by permitting a stage
show of bolshevism. 1t scares the
allies. Even if they did 90 Dol.
shevist, it would kill their power of
economic production, and keep
them fioundering in misery while
the allies recover economic BAL
ance. After making up very bad
faces and sayiLe very bad words,
Germany will sign whatever is
offered.
No one need think that even
Germany will be suffering too much
No indemnity that can possibly be
demanded will pay a quarter of
what the allies spent to maintain
their civilization against the pirates

Motor Instruction

The motor is going to figure very
prominently in the country life Of
the future. 1t will connect the viii
lage with the market town, will per
form the many operations within
the scope of the tractor, and will do
the trucking from the farm to rail-
road station.
Every country boy ought to come
up with some knowledge of how to
keep a motor 10 repair The garages
and repairs shops ask good prices
for their services. II they have to
drive out in the country to start
machine, the time charge is much
increased, particularly if they have
to tow the car into their shops.
Then if a tractor is tied a day or
two, the farm work stops, and help
lie around idle.
Nevertheless, the man who
knows little about a motor often
makes matters worse by trying to
do the repair himself. Until such
time as he can make a thorough
study of the operations of a motor,
he might do better to take the car
to the nearest repair shop and pay
whatever is asked. The cheapest
way for some folks is to keep the
hood closely shut and never even
look at the beast.
But if a fellow can be trained to
understand the mechanical princi-
Piles of motor operation, it becomes
possible for him to save q heavy
item on the cost of this equipment
for his farm or country home. 1t
is not merely that be will save the
repair shop charges. By familiarity
with his machine he can keep it
in constant tune and thereby pro
long its life. Also he can save in
terruptions of farm work and trans
portation of products.
