employing three divisions of infantry
and 80 batteries OF artillery, attack
ing from several directions.
Bella Kun has sent a note to the

ed the will of the entente"
He added that the reds desire to
force the Rumanians to respect the

ECHO, NO[|N COUNTRY
CUTTING NORMAL CROP

Wheat raisers in the Echo and Mo-
lin country are rot at all disappointed
with their wheat crop this year, ac-
cording to Guy Johnson. local man.
ager of the Tri state Terminal CO.,
who made trip to that district yes
terday. The yield has been running
from Is to 25 bushels an acre, which
is as good as normal.
About one-third of the harvest is
completed in the west end and wheat
is coming into the warehouses at No
lin and Echo. although shipping has
not begun as few have sold any grain.
Several grew barley in the Nolin re-
gion and did well and at Echo some
rye has been taken to the warehouse.
Mr.. Johnson saw five different lots
of turkey red wheat in one warehouse
and all graded No. /. This variety isl
not extensively raised in the county
but so far all which has been heard
Of has graded No. 1.

TRAINS, BOTH WAYS.
CROWDED BY TRAVEL

Travel. both east and west is the
heaviest known since. the government
took over the RAILROADS according to
T. F. o'Brien. local agent for the o.
W. r. & y. Co. Trains in both direc-
tons are crowded all the time and
equipment is being loaded to the linn
it
Although the government has re-
moved much of the travel restrictions
made necessary by the war. there is
no more equipment being run now
than last year. Trains are not any
larger nor are the old limited ser
vices restored in this section. Troop
trains are more numerous now, 60
ing to rehabilitation points, than
they We're at this time last year, Mr..
O'Brien, SAYS.
This establishment of reduced rates
to coast points and to the middle
west and east has stimulated travel
but these changes were hardly ne
to create the stimulus. The
hot weather of late and the desire of
people to travel after being kept close
to home for two years is given as the
prime cause for the revival of travel.

AUTHOR OF NEW. BOOK
ON GOVERNMENT HERE

Leigh Il. Irvine. whose book en-
titled '"The Masses In the Mirror" is

itor here today. His book treats of
fundamental questions OF government.

the democratic element In the repub-
lie of the United states. He believes
also In proportional representation as
urged by John stuart Mill and by the
Proportional Representation League
of Philadelphia. although his forth
coming book barely touches that
phase OF governmental problems.
I'VE are not Living in a democracy"

reporter, though most persons seem
to believe We are. Democracy Is only
one of the elements of our system.

for United States senators.

ON SUGAR RATI0NS

CHICAGO, July 24.-Some sections
OF Chicago are today on a reduced su.
gar ration, imposed by retail grocers.
Buyers are being limited to two
pounds. An official of the American

ket did not warrant the step. Re-
fineries are behind in their orders
and have been curtailing the retail
ers' allotments it is given as the reason
for the move. The refinery official
said: The people have been over
