Men Assessed $4,000
Francs For Loss in Wine
BIZ Associated Press.

CoblenZ. May 15.-Nine hundred
and thirty-one officers and enlisted
men of the Third United States Army
have been assessed approximately 27,-
900 francs to reimburse a French
railway company fo rthe loss of 2.176
bottles of champagne which dis
appeared near Toul last December.
Findings of an Army board, which
had the case in hand for several
months, were announced recently.
The officers and men, all from the
Army of Occupation. were on their
way to an Army school at Chatilon-
sur-Seine, travelling by special train,
and, according to testimony before
the board, the champagne disap-
peared one night soon after the
Americans arrived in Toul. While
a number of French soldiers were
also involved testimony at the hear
ing did not bring out just who dis
covered the freight car loaded with
wine nor who were the first in
dividuals to start handing out the
bottles.
The three majors, fifteen captains,
ninety-two first lieutenants and one
hundred and seventy-four second
lieutenants and SAT enlisted men
were involved. The railway en-

EVERY EFFORT
BEING MADE TO
FIND BODIES
Juniata Fails to Give Up Its
Victims; Troopers on
Scene

Efforts are being redoubled to To-
cate the bodies of the seven officials
of the Haws Refractories Company,
who drowned in the Juniata river
near Hawstone on Saturday when
their boat overturned. State police
are lending their assistance.
This morning a contingent of the
troopers left this city for the scene
of the accident to aid in the search
They secured the motor boat of
Charles c. Linton, 1907 North Second
street and took it by truck to Haw-
stone. 1t will be operated by Mr.
Lintons son. Thomas Linton, while
the police search for the body.
1t is understood that plans are be-
ing made to put a diver to work to
aid in locating the bodies. The Haws
Company is understood to be nego-
tiating with a Harrisburg diver. Just
now the river is quite muddy and
will prevent the diver from render
ing much assistance. The waters are
clearing up and are expected to be in
condition for him to work in a few
days.
The rggers from the Standard Steel
Works. Burnham, will build barbed
wire dredges with which to scrape
the river. The Red Cross has locat-
ed a kitchen on the north bank of
the river and will feed those engaged
in the search. Barbed wire guards
have been placed between the piers
of the Mifflintown bridge to catch
the bodies in the event of their float
ing that far down the stream.
Five hundred persons have been
engaged almost constantly in the
search since the accident. 1t is the
intention of the authorities to use
dynamite in all deep holes within a
mile of where the accident occurred,
in the hope that the concussion will
release and raise the bodies to the
surface.
The accident resulted in a panic
among those on the boat, Mr.. Haws,
of the Hawstone plant said yester-
day, when it shipped little water.

iFamo Destroys
Dandruff BaCilli

Scieice has perfected q wonder
full preparation that stops Seborr-
hea (the medical term for dandruff)
by killing the dandruff microbe.
Its name is FAMO and il is =
product of one of the famous
pharmaceutical houses of Detroit.
The ingredients have never been
used on the scalp before but they
are we'll known to physicians.
AS fast as nature grows new hair
the Seborrhea germ kills 1t off.
Unless you destroy the germ
with FAMO, the new hair will grow
weaker and weaker and badness
finally will result.
FAMO destroys the dandruff ba-
cilli and makes new, luxuriant hair
grow.
FAMO actually retards grayness.
1t contains no alcohol. 1t stops all
itching of the scalp.
FAMO should be used daily By
every member of the family, even
by those who have no dandruh. 1t
keeps the hair healthy and beautiful
and prevents seborrhes.
FAMO is sold at al toilet goods
counters, also applied at the better
barber shops. It comes In two
sizes-a small size at IS cents and
an extra large bottle for 81.

Tickets were mailed direct from

Scores were without tickets to grand
stands but were willing to stand in honor
of the marching hosts.

Remember the coal famine of l9l7-l8. The
reason we have been advising coal buyers to lay in
their winters supply without delay is because we
know conditions that prevail at the coal mines -
the source of the supply.
So far this spring there has been mined little
more than half the normal production of coal. The
talk therefore, of coal shortage next winter is not
myth but will become stern reality unless buyers
take their coal from now on, and keep up a steady
demand, which in turn will cause steady production.
Ii householders wait as many used to, the
chances are they will regret it when cold weather
comes again Labor and transportation will not be
able to meet the winter demand should Consumers
"hold off, ordering until later.

FARMERS TO BENEFIT
BY WHEAT GUARANTEE
Government Will Stand By War
Promise of $2.26 Bushel for
1919 Wheat

The keeping of Uncle Sans war
promises to his farmers is going to
cost $5OO,OO0,OOO and perhaps more.
1t will take this amount to pay the
difference between the market price
of the forecast 1,O0O,0 100000 bushels
1919 wheat crop and the price of
$2.26 set by the president during
war time, Chairman A F. Lever of
the house agricultural committee
estimated
The farmers will hardly have a
kick coming on this for it means a
half billion for them in 1919 which
they would not get under the regular
market conditions. 1t came about
in this way. Many months ago the
president made proclamation
guaranteeing the wheat price for the
crop of 1919 at $2.26 per bushel at
the Chicago wheat market. No
doubt it was then expected that the
war might end during the summer of
1919, perhaps even before the new
crop would actually be put on the
market but it was argued by the food
administration that even if that
should be the case the crop would be
put in and harvested under abnormal
war conditions with labor very scarce
and wages high. Besides there was the
urgent necessity of encouraging large
wheat production for fear the war
would run into the year 1920. How
ever, the war ended sooner than the
Government agencies dared plan on
and conditions are expected to gradu-
ally resume normal during the year
but Uncle Sam thinks too much Of
his word to try to back down now
under the plea that the war is over
before the crop is put in.
"The United States cannot COM
pete with the rest of the world with
$2.26 wheat and it can hardly sell
when much lower price is justified
by the world market conditions" the
house agricultural committee an
nounces and some method must be de-
vised to keep both the domestic and
foreign markets running smoothly
under conditions Of guaranteed
price in competition with cheaper
wheat.
Therefore, congress is expected to
extend the life of the United States
Grain corporation to handle the
wheat market and increase it's capital
from $3.50, 100000 to about $500, 900
900 in order that the government

What might have been very SER
ious accident occurred on Big Stone
Lake, near Skeleton island, Tuesday
evening when party of three young
men driving a Ford car went into an
opening in the ice, the car almost
completely submerging. The party
consisted of Clark Mathews, Hans
Ellingson and Clarence Cook, and
they were on their way to the Cook
home about four miles up the lake.
The night was very stormy on the
lake and the boys evidently strayed
from the track over which another
car had travelled just short time
previous. They were driving at a
fair rate of speed and when the open
water was sighted the driver attempt
ed to turn to the side but the car
skidded, turning completely around
on the ice and going into the hole
backward. At the point where the
car went down there is from sixteen
to eighteen feet of water and it
would have completely submerged
taking the boys with it had not one
of the front wheels caught in the
ice, holding the car from going to the
bottom. The side curtains were of
course buttoned on and the boys had
quite an experience with the icy
waters of the lake begore they sue
ceeded in getting free from the car,
one crawling through the windshield
and the other two through the top.
Mathews and Ellingson returned to
the city and Cook proceeded to his
home up the lake and as yet the most
serious results suffered by the boys
was a thorough chill received in the
water and while on their way home,
with the thermometer registering
several degrees below the zero mark
The Ford still remains where it
went down and no doubt considerable
trouble will be experienced in freeing
it from the ice which has since closed
in about it.-Ortonville Journal.

in a much shorter time than we will
now get and better than any our
town boards are now building. Many
of our townships are doing very fair
work on their roads now, but of
necessity they cannot spend that
amount on each mile and as a con-
sequence many of our newly graded
time from lack of proper drainage.
During the last year freight trucks
have developed so fast that begin
to think that good roads coupled
with good freight trucks will be the
solution of the transportion problems
of such sections of the country as lie
long distances from the present rail-
roads, such as the country lying on
either side of the Browns Valley
branch of the Great Northern. be-
lieve that this will come sooner than
more railroads and will serve the
community better than branch rail-
roads.
"There is no question but that
such a system of roads would add
many times their cost to the value
of our farms in a practical way as
we'll as in the comfort to those liv-
ing along them.
II believe that this could be done
without hardship to anyone unless
it would be to the nonresident land
owner and the sooner he is forced out
of business the better.
'In doing this we must recognize
when the snow will make bad roads
whether they are hard surfaced or
dirt roads.
