AUSTRALIA MAKES BID
FOR WORLD BUSINESS

New York. dec. The Aus. .ralian
government has taken steps to en-
able countries whose currency has
deprecated TO trade with Australia
according to adyices received oy
Mark sheldon. commissioner for tha'
dominion.
Australia has been collecting Gus
toms duties at the mint par rate o
exchange based on the value OF In
voices in the currency Of the countrs
where the goods originate. This, ths
commissioner says. has made It vii
tnally impossible for certain conntrief
whose currency has deprecated tc
trade with Australia. because the dut
les would be too high.
At tie same time II tended to pre-
vent French and Italian exporters
from using the exchange position 4
dump goods at prices with whics
neither Australian nor British manu-
fac'urers could compete
To remedy this situation. the Ans
tralian house OF representatives ha'
passed bill proposed by the min
iSter OF customs which provides th1i
the board OF trade shall review .h'
position whenever the exchange raft
in any country falls ten per cent pe
low the mint par rate and authorizes
that board TO recommend to the mir
lister that the hank rate OF exchange
should be adpoted in assessing duties

Horses Had to be Killed

Tuesday afternoon when Lester
and Lawrence Bair, sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alex Bair. were moving hay
at their home three miles northeast
OF Blanchard, at opposite sides of the
field, the team Lester was driving
became frightened and started to
run across the field in the direction
of the other team. When part way
across something about the mower
broke, hitting Lester in the head,
knocking him unconscious. He fell
from the mower. The team ran
until they came up behind the other
team and as Lawrence did not hear
them coming because of the noise of
the mower, the tongue ran into the
seat Of his mower and threw him 20
feet. The horses ran up in front
of the sickle of the other mower and
ran with the team until the mower
cut both hind legs off of one horse
and one hind leg from the other
They had to be shot Immediately,

Finds Much Honey Stored

Swarms OF bees have enriched
Martin Hinkel and family to the ex-
tent of hundreds of pounds of honey
which they have for years been
boarding in two large chimneys in
the house which the family occupy
on the farm four miles northeast Of
Pisgah. The farm is on the Har-
risonMonona county line.
Last spring when Mr.. Hinkel I'M
dertook to heat the house he found
the fiue stopped up. With the ap-
proach of warm weather they did not
try to use the chimney and forgot all
about having been smoked out. Dur
ing the recent warm weather the
family noticed stream of honey
running down the wall of the house
and on closer inspection Mr.. Hinkel
found that the chimneys in the
house are packed full to overlooking
with honey, there being hundreds of
pounds of It. AS soon as the harvest
is over he intends to rob the bees of
their hoard, some Of which is believ-
ed to have been there for a number
Of years and being annually added to
by the bees.

Attempt to Rob Garage

An attempt to blow the safe of the
Bear garage at Anita, owned by VIM.
Bear and son, Lake, was discovered
Sunday morning. Nothing was Sc.
cured by the intruders. The would
be robbers had drilled hole in the
top of the safe, and the charge OF
what appears to have been black
powder failed to dislodge the door.
The bolts were only bent by the
blast. The work was clearly that
OF amateurs, probably local talent.
The safe contained only books and
papers, but no money. The cash
register, standing upon the safe,
which contained So in money! was
not molested, further than moving II
to get at the top OF the safe. How
entrance was gained into the garage
is a mystery.
