Ice Company Fined.

The local ice company was on Mon
day fined in the recorders court for
giving short weights in ice. Com
plants had, been made by several OF
their customers and an investigation
made showed that this was the fault
of the driver who had not been weigh
ing the ice as it was delivered.
The company was fined $25, this
being the first offense, and upon the
understanding that a similar case
would result in a fine to the limit OF
the court.
The manager states that it has not
been the intention to give short
weights, but that it was carelessness
on the part of the driver. he states
that every piece of ice will be weigh
ed and that customers will be given
their full value in the future.-George-
town Times Index.

HARDING STANDS
FOR PEACE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE SOUNDS
KEYNOTE FOR CAM
PAIGN

Rejecting President Wilson's League
Of Nations, Senator Warren G. Hard
ing declared in accepting the Repub-
lican presidential nomination at his
home in Marion, Ohio, last Thursday,
that if elected he would stand for the
establishment Of peace by a resolu-
ton Of Congress and then propose an
international understanding" to pro-
mote world harmony without impair
ing American sovereignty.
He did not directly advocate or op-
pose ratification Of the treaty with
reservations, and declared it useless
"to discuss in detail the league cove
nant, which was conceived for world
super-government and negotiated In
misunderstanding.
He made plea for government by
party rather than by individuals, de-
clared for industrial peace attained
by inspiration rather than force and
advocated economy, increased produc-
ton and deflation Of currency to re-
lieve the high cost Of living.
The acceptance speech sounding q
keynote for the Republican preGden-
tial campaign was delivered at the
formal notification ceremonies after
the nominee had spent the greater
part of the day reviewing riotous
procession of delegations that came
from many states to honor him. From
early in the morning until the notid-
cation program began he was kept
busy waving his greetings to the visi-
tors as they filed past his residence
by thousands.
