Two-years ago the greatest battle in
American history. the Meuse-Arsonne Of

seven days Of fighting which crushed the

from General Pershines report to Wash

~On the night Of September Is, our
troops quietly took the place Of the
French and thinly held the line in this

the attack, which began on the 18th, we

GOOD CORN IN .DRY BELT"
Recent Rains Have Aided Section
East Of RechepOrt.

The dry belt. commonly known as a
twenty-five mile strip beginning near
RochePort and extending east through
Illinois, is likely to yield a good crop
this year. The rains Of early August
gave remarkable impetus to tie corn. and
with late fall, the farmer in this Sec
lion should realize prosperity.
Tourists declare that ire corn through
out the middle west, in addition to the
dry belt, is the best for many years. The
market, too. indicates q large supply. For
the first time since before the war. corn
is below the dollar marx.

following first choice votes for the
various prominent candidates: Demo-
cratic: Bryan, 46,969; Clark, 22,-
O12; Cox, 32,144; Edwards, 60,93S;
Marshall, 1867; McAdoo, 101, ,773;
Palmer. S,933; Wilson, 67,079. Re-
publican: Coolidge, 33,621; Harding,
36,795; Hoover, 240,46S; Hughes,
54,719; Johnson, 263,0S7; Lowden,
12O,391; Taft, 32,74O; Wood, 277,-
4S6. McAdoo and Marshall are not
outspoken candidates, but are freely
"spoken Of" Those prefering Will
son doubtless mean their choice mere
ly as complimentary, as the presiden,
is not candidate for the nomination.
Hoover's candidacy is distinguished
by the fact that of his total vote, s4,-
OS1 are Democratic voters, while his
republican vote is only 120,430. We
are inclined to think that he is en-
tirely too popular among the Demo-
Gratis to suit the Republican party,
and therefore may be counted out.
Governor Edwards is an outspoken
candidate on a liquor platform, which
eliminates him. He is quite popular
among the Republicans too, receiving
as many Republican votes as all the
other Democratic candidates combin-
ed. It is to be remembered that the
American people are rather tickle
about the presidential job. This is the
expression of choice months before
the election. The recent investigation
of candidates pre-convention expenses
will probably eliminate several of the
leading Republican candidates, and it
is yet to be decided who the Ameri-
can people want for president.

Batting Averages of Local Team.

The official batting averages Of the
Bamberg team show that we can boast
of only two 800 batters, although
Frank Bamberg only falls three
points short of the coveted mark. The
averages below do not include the
practice games, but strictly the Hegu-
lan league games played according to
schedule, and no player is included
in the list who has not been to bat as
many as ten times. Otto Large, who
has played in only five games and
been to bat % times, is far in the
lead, hitting at the terrific pace of
.522. This lad has poled out an even
dozen hits, several Of them for extra
bases. Captain Charlie Rentz has
garnered the greatest number of hi1s,
IA, out of 81 official trips to the
plate, for an average Of .37S, Charlie
having played in all the games and
easily hitting second Frank Barl-
berg in "a times at bat is credited
with 10 safeties for an average of
.297, and Pete Watson is fourth man
with a percentage of .256. The teams
grand batting average is .274, total
of 73 hits having been made in 266
times at bat, which is very good
record. These figures include every
regular game played with the excep-
ton of the one yesterday at Black
vile. The individual and team aver
ages follow:

The senate has refused President
Wilson's request that America accept
a mandate over Armenia. We do not
pretend to say that we can intelligent
ly discuss the question of accepting
a mandate over a foreign country.
Senator Smith voted for the mandate,
and Senator Dial voted against it.
In the face of prosecutions the like of
which has never been exceeded in
the history of the world, massacres
by the thousands, and the ravish-
ment of their women, these people
rave stood by the Christian faith,
when to have given up their faith
would have meant the end of their
persecution. America entered the
war to make the world safe for de-
mocracy, and now that the war has
come to a successful end, America has
deserted the principle for which she
entered it. AS to whether a mandate
is the best thing for Armenia, we do
not know, but something ought to be
done to protect Armenia, so that a
reversion to it's previous state of SER
vitude will be impossible.

Bamberg has a jam-up good base
ball team, and the team is receiving
fine support from the home folks. The
local nine, the way it looks now, COM
pletely outclasses anything in the
section. In fact the team ought to
join the S. A. l.. and show those fel-
lows something about playing base
ball.

Every day or two now we see in
the daily newspapers where some
would-be candidate is receiving
urges" to announce himself for some
Office. Since investigation is the Or
der of the day, we suggest an investi-
cation into the promotion of candi-
dacies. We often laugh when we note
how the candidates take the people
for such simple idiots, and the funny
thing about it is they frequently get
away with it. We have recently seen it
stated that such and such a man is be-
ing urged by his friends to announce
for some Office, and our personal
knowledge of some of these men leads
us to believe that they have never in
their lives had anybody to urge them
to run for any Office, unless, per-
haps, they were being made fun of.
Why it is necessary for a man to say
that he is being urged" to offer
himself for any office? With our
knowledge of these affairs, which We
freely admit is limited, we do not
think we would ever say we were
urged by our friends, even if we were,
for nobody will believe it anyway
The day of men sacrificing themselves
for public office is just about past.
Why not come out with the truth and
say they want the office? And if they
don't want it, keep their traps closed,
for there are plenty who do want the
offices.

The people of the country are vir-
tually revolving against the paying
of enormous prices for necessaries.
That this revolt is being felt is shown
bg the marked reductions in prices
of certain commodities. Whether
this price reduction will be perma-
nent remains to be seen. We hardly
think that it means a very early re-
turn to normal, but that the hoard
ers are finding that their stocks are
not going as they expected, and that
price reduction is the only hope for
disposal of the goods. We are GER
tain that if the people will simply re-
fuse to pay exorbitant prices, we shall
not have exorbitant prices. In our
opinion there are a great many more
goods in existence in the country than
the people are led to think. These
goods have been boarded in the ex-
pectation of reaping vast harvest of
exorbitant profits, and now the hold
.ers find that the people are not going
to pay these enormous profits and
they are beginning to loosen up be-
fore the final crash comes.

Thus, all that the poor American oil
men have done is merely to disregard

most supreme contempt, the law of the
republic Of Mexico. This is hardly a

Being thus intcrfered with in their
violation Of law, they write to Cong.

cause the oil men do not feel called

feel free to call upon the Tnited Suites
to send in its troops and whip MI

of petroleum mined annually in
Mexico.

In view of such desperate Injustice
and such high handed acts. conscrip-
ton should be resorted to and an army
raised and sent down to save the
