J. WILLIE MILLS GETS
 TAX COLLECTORS JOB
Appointed By Mayor to Suc- ceed c. J. Elliott, Who
 Claims Injustice.

Joe Willie Mills was this morning appointed by Mayor George A. Quiz ley to succeed Charles J. Elliott as per sonal tax collector. Mr. Mills will as sume his office on Tuesday, July 1, for a period of four years.
 MT. Elliott when informed of the mayors action waxed indignant He said that he expected to be dropped from the city's payroll as he is a democrat now and forever" Tax Collector Elliot has a grievance against Mayor Quigley and Prosecutor George w. Klctt, he claims. There are at the present time," said MT. Elliott, "about 2,OOO delinquent taxpayers in the city. About two weeks ago, I turned over a mum Der of names to Prosecutor KIett to bring action against men who re- fused to pay their tax after I had sent them second notice. No action has been taken by the prosecutor. It is a put up job between Mayor Quigley and klett. The mayor wanted MT. Mills to collect the taxes in order that he can get the commission which is right fully due me. That is why action was deferred' he declares.
 During the past year." MT. Elliott says, "he has collected about 5000. Due to the fact that about $500 men were in the service, and are exempt from the taxes, the receipts are not quite as large this year,
 MT. Elliott has been the incumbent of the tax collectors office for the past eight years. He was first ap- pointed during the administration of Joseph NJ. Halloran.
 MT. Mills is well known in political circles in the city. Though he always has been a prominent republican this is the first time that he has been ap- pointed to a public office. There is no salary attached to the office, the tax collector being remunerated for his services on a good commission basis.

Many People Liberated.

Many People Liberated.
 And it is much more than a treaty of peace with Germany. It liberates great peoples who have never before been able to find the way to liberty. It ends once for all an old and intoler able order under which small groups of selfish men could use the peoples of great empires to serve their ambi- tion for power and dominion. It asso- ciates the free governments of the world in a permanent league in which they are pledged to use their united power to maintain peace by maintaining right and justice. It makes international law a reality sup ported by imperative sanctions. It does away with the right Of conquest and rejects the policy of annexation and substitutes a new order under which backward rationS-pOpulatiOn which have not yet come to political consciousness and people who are ready for independence but not yet quite prepared to dispense with pro- lection and guidance-shall no more be subjected to the domination and exploitation of a stronger nation, but shall be put under the friendly direc- IlOn ana anOrdGd the nelptul aSSlSC- anCe of gOVernm ents which undertake to be responsible to the opinion of mankind in the execution of their task by accepting the direction of the league Of nations

Washington is Quiet.


 Washington, June 2S.-Official Washington took the signing of tho peace treaty quietly in marked con- trast to the riotous demonstrations which greeted the announcement of the signing of the armistice.
 Congress was wholly without dem onstration. In the senate President Wilson's address to the Amerz m people was read by Senator Hitch cock but it passed without comment. The house was not in session at the moment, not assembling until noon. The Marine band serenading congress on the Capitol plaza was the only sign of celebration. Throughout the city there were no demonstrations whatever by the man in the street.

He was then sent as the county's

eleven hours in length (save for 9
fifteen minute recess) he spelled more
than five thousand words without miss

OHIO SPRING WHEATS
HOLD GLUTEN STRENGTH

Ohio-grown spring wheats retain
their gluten-strength properties as
we'll as the western varieties of grain
as shown by baking tests carried out
at the Ohio Experiment station. The
tests were made to determine the
authenticity of rumors recently cir
culated to the effect that spring wheat
grown in Ohio would become more
starchy after several more years Of
culture thus producing an inferior
flour. To import fresh seed each year
is now regarded as unnecessary.
Spring wheat may be added to the
Ohio crop list at an advantage, it is
shown, as millers have been importing
spring wheat -four from other states
to make blended product; the home-
grown spring wheat would supply this
demand partly.
During the war much spring wheat
was seeded by farmers in northern
Ohio as a means to increase food pro-
duction. Experimental tests on the
Ohio station farm at Wooster with
spring wheat have proven successful.
