New YORK GOING OVER TOP
First Report Indicates District Can
Surpass Quota
$62,903,508 ALREADY UP
Encouraging Feature is Demand of
Small Investors for Sho-t
Term Bonds.

New York, April 22.-With $62,-
903,500 of its $1,350,000,000 victory
liberty loan quota officially reported
subscribed at p. m. today and many
millions in pledges vet untabulated,
campaign directors for the New York
federal reserve district asserted to-
night that there was every indication
the district would surpass its quota
with ease.
One of the most encouraging fea-
lures, it was said, was the demand of
small investors for the short-term
bonds, which appear to be regarded
by the public as en- exceptionally good
investment.
That large investors also look upon
the victory loan as good investment
was indicated by the stream of sub
scriptions of $1,000,O00 and up, which
continued to flow in.
Of the districts's officially reported
{ 'scription of $62 1903 500, New York
c vas credited with $57,384,20O.

The dirigible circled overe the city
for more than an hour, showcring VIC

made their spoken appeals. The ship
was commanded by Lieut. j. j. Quinn,

Another feature of today's cam
paign was a long distance address
delivered to an audience in "Victory
Way by Mrs. Carter Glass, who was
seated in the capitol at Washington.
Mrs. Glass, who spoke in sound am

ITALY. GIVING GROUND
Disposition to Withdraw Den,a ands for
Dalmatia Hinterland if Permitted
to Have Coast and Fiume
BUT MIR. WILSON OBJECTS
Inhexibbe in Position That Fiume
Shall Not Go to Italy, Thus
BottIing Up Jugo-Slavia.

Paris, April 22.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-There are indications of
weakening on the part of the Italian
delegation and disposition to with
draw their demands of the Dalmatian
hinterland, if permitted to have the
coast, the coastal watershed and
Fiume
President Wilson is inflexible in his
position that Fiume shall not be an
nexed to Italy, thus bottling up Jugo-
Slavia.
Although Premier Orlando probably
will not attend the meetings of the
council of four Immediately, the in
clinations of the Italian compromise
is looked upon by the Allies as en-
couraging, who are apparently hope
full that an agreement may be reached
by mutual concessions.
Future of Kino Chau.
In the meantime Premiers Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George and President
Wilson are busy considering the Ques-
tion Of the future Of Kiao Chau with
Baron Maxine and Viscount Chinda, of
the japanese delegation.
The American delegates declared
, emphatically that President Wilson is
determined not to yield on the Fiume
question. AS America was not party
to the London treaty, the President
refused to discuss controversies aris-
ing over the Dalmatian coast and
other countries covered by the secret
treaty signed by Italy, France and
Great Britain.
1t was learned today that it was
at the suggestion Of the Italian dele
cation that President Wilson re-
mained away from the meeting Mon
day morning when Premiers LLOYD
George, Clemenceau and Orlando and
Foreign Minister Sonnino discussed
the London pact.
The meeting between the represent
atives of the three powers, it is un-
derstood, was extremely unsuccessful
!. as Italy insisted that the London
treaty had not been affected by her
subsequent agreement to President
Wilson's fourteen points and demand
ed the literal fulfllment Of the prom
ises made her previously.
10. The Italian delegates are not pre-
pairing to leave Paris, apparently be-
lieying that the Alliees will approach
: them with compromise before peace
is signed with Germany. However,
the French. British and American
, delegates show no signs Of weaken
ing and continue to advise the Ital-
ians of the meetings as if the Italian
delegates had not bolted.

In last weeks issue OF The Times,
we gave the main features Of the
proposition to raise funds to put

You will be called on by one of the
collectors for contribution to help

most profitable thing we can do for
our County.
When the campaign opens, and the
collector approaches you for contri-
button. we want your aid. Remember
you are helping to put Clarendon
County in connection with other sec
tions of the United States, and also
creating an asset that will be very
valuable to our County.
Other plans, knockers, and all round
selfshness is not needed. Our plan
will put the crossing through, or re-
fund the money to the contributors,
a copy of this agreement will be
given to each subscriber.
Our second project is one that con-
meets with this, and runs from the
Florence COUNTY line via Trrbevi!le,
New Zion, Sardinia to Manning.
We will want the Commissioners
from Districts No. IL, 20, 81, 81 and

Extract
Capt Jacob r. Harvin, 320th F. A =.
On November l, 1918, dur Ig the
severe fighting in the Argonne, in the
vicinity Of the st. Georges lrnc court
Road, it became necessary 70 Capt.
Harvm TO advance his battery more
effectively support the infar v adj
vance. In order to do this effectively
he made a personal reconnaissance in
an area covered by heavy enemy fire.
By his disregard of personal danger
and energy he made the reconnais-
sance and thus was able to move his
battery very quickly into the new po-
stion and most effectively support the
infantry.

particular pride in announcing to the

Foes of Cooperation, Too

To those who have heard the old
story about giving cooperation
chance before joining the wicked"
Nonpartisan league and mixing up
in politics, some recent Nebraska
events will be of interest.
The banking law has been amend
cd so as to deny new banks the pro-
lection of the guaranty of deposits
funds for two years after they arc
organized.
This little trick will prevent thas
organization of new banks, and the
Nebraska politicians chose it inl pre-
ference to their first PLAN to give
the state board authority to refuse
charters as being 9 better cannou-
fage.
BUT THIS is NOT ALL.
An attempt to- amend the banking
laws to permit cooperative banking
was checked of by the banking COM
mittee ansd the sitting committee of
the housSe.
Lik@wise, these legislators have
!. planned to give the farmers the
j right to form credit unions, but in
stead of help from the state, the
Legislature makes the proposed
unions of little or no use by denying
the right to receive deposits.
Now will some of the anti-Leaguo

Our "rantankerous" and obstrepei

evidently is singing its swan song.
Driven desperate by constant ex-
posture of its scandalous connections
with probably one Of the most out
Fageous grating printing contracts
ever recorded in the northwest, by
means of which the county has been
relieved of $4,000 during the past
three years and $4,000 during the
past ten months, or about 500 per
day, that organ attacks friends and
foes alike, in small and mean eff
fort to do as much revenge as is pos
sible before ceasing publication.
1t is claimed that there is honor
among thieves and fraternity among
crooks. However in the case of Joe

there does not seem to be any honor
or fraternity whatsoever

BOY TRAPS MONSTER EAGLE
Lad Catches Eagle in Trap Set for
Coyotes, Measures Seven Feet Two
Inches From Tip to Tip.

Walter Tobiason, youthful SON of
M. Tobiason, Archer farmer, who
had traps set for coyotes, recently
on a morning inspection trip found
a monster eagle in one of his traps.
The eagle had tried to get away
with Walters coyote bait and had
met up with hard luck.
The big monarch of the sky was
killed by the young trapper and
lugged home, where it was measured
it being found to measure seven feet
two inches from tip to tip.
Walter has sent the eagle to Min
neapolis to be mounted and it will
soon be back to Montana where the
boy will be proud to show it to his
friends.
Eagles are rare in this section OF
Montana and the capture Of this
bird is a novel occurrence.
