FISH y@ LINES

Chief of Police Baltes while fishing
at North Lake last Sunday, hooked a
three and a half pound black bass,
which he has entered in the contest
arranged by Xii. Strachota, who will
give $500 to the person who catches
the biggest bass and $500 to the per
son who catches the biggest pickerel
this season. George has good chance
at that $500, but we understand there
are number of cur "rod artists" who
look forward to entising some bigger
ones to their "gypsy."
The donor of the above mentioned
$500 and Lawrence Lipchow spent
Sunday on Pine lake and managed to
extract nine medium sized bass from
the briny deep. We were wondering
if Xii. wanted that $500 himself.
Ralph Sporleder, while fishing at
School Section lake last Sunday,
caught 71a pound pickerel, one of
the biggest fish caught by a local
piscatorial artist this season.
The Mayor with the assistance of
the tonsorial artist managed to pull
four black bass, two pickerel and a
pike from the lily pads at Pine lake
last Tuesday afternoon.

A Man for the Ages,'' his great MARIA
tive Of the growth of democracy in which
Abraham Lincoln is the chief character,

compelling novel. A wonderful theme IN
which others might have failed, Mr.. Bach
elier has succeeded because of his famil-

the makers of America. 1t is the most
appealing picture of Lincoln and of the
times beginning somewhat before the
Middle of the last century and extending
70 about 1860, that has ever been penned.
Aside from its interest as a novel and its
value as document of Americanism, it is
q distinct contribution to literature en-
podying human nature and human inter-
est. "a Man for the Ages" will soon start
as a serial in this paper and you are

torted Ed. Clark, of New Paris, when
asked Tuesday what he believed es-
sential to normal business conditions
in this country. I'VE have 500 or 500

trying to solve that problem now"
my own belief" continued Mr..
Clark, who is president of the farm
bureau of Preble county, lis that we
must all take our losses, reduce
freight rates, and wages, and cut re-
tail prices, and that we must get all
property on the tax duplicate, so that
no property owners can hide behind
tax exempt securities.
AT present man who owned $4,000
worth of property last year can say
that he has invested $4,000 in tax ex-
empt securities since, and that much
is eliminated from his duplicate with
out any further evidence than his
statement. Every security should be
a matter of public record.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-With the
tariff bill recently passed by the house
of representatives now pending before
the finance committee of the senate,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has in
dicated that he will seek to have the
senate re-insert in the measure duty
on petroleum and crude oil.
The biz as it was drafted by the
ways an. means committee of the
house provided a duty for such prod
'ucts. but the house, by decisive ma
jority, voted to restore them to the
free list.
In view of the fact that the ma jor-
ity of the house members were influ-
enced to oppose the removal of pc.
troleum and crude oil from the free
list because, in their opinion, contrary
action would result in the increased
cost of widely diversified essentials

tive in urging tariff protection fol

Arthur NJ Evans, in the Chicago
Tribune. commenting on business and
Industrial conditions, said:
Basic industries, hardest hit by the
business slump, are showing signs of
recovery. Key industries in the Calu-
met region have begun to revive to
noticeable degree. The railroads now
appear ready to spend money, at least
to a moderate degree, following the
potential s400,000,000 year saving
through the wage REDUCTIONS ordered
by the United States railway labor
board.
The Illinois Car and Equipment COM
pany of Hammond, Ind, has secured
a large railroad repair order in the
east, and will reopen Aug. l with en-
ployment for 500 men indefinitely.
The Standard Steel Car company of
Hammond also has new orders neces-
stating the employment of additional
men.
The significance of the reviving ac-
tivities in car building and repairing
is seen in the fact that of all groups

TURKS ARE FORCED
TO TRANSFER CAPITAL
BY GREEK TRIUMPHS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, July 26.-The Turkish
Nationalist government. owing to the
successful Greek advances in Asia. Mi
nor, has been obliged to transfer the
seat of it's government and the Turk
ish Nationalist assembly to Sivas, ac-
cording to Constantinople dispatches
to the Exchange Telegraph company.
ATHENS, July 26.-An announce
ment by the Greek official agency late
Yesterday said the Turkish losses in
killed, wounded, prisoners and miss
ing amount to rs per cent of their en-
tire fighting strength in Asia Minor.
Claim Wedge Driven
The statement claims the Greeks
have driven such a wedge into the
Turkish nationalist lines that the
Kemalist forces at Ar the capi-
tai, on the northern bra / the Bag
dad railway, have been out off from
those at Konieh on the main line of
the railways, $50 miles to the south.
1T is confirmed" says the state
ment, that the Turks lost heavily in
the last ten days of fighting which re-
suited in the occupation of Eski-Shehr
and the retreat of the Turkish forces.
1t now can be stated that the enemy
lost more than three-quarters of his
forces in guns and in men killed and
wounded, prisoners and deserters. The
greater part of the Turkish divisions
lost most of their effectives. The num-
Der of rifles and the quantity of mu-
nitions abandoned, which are being
found daily are steadily increasing.
Eight heavy guns were taken by one
of our divisions alone in three days.
Having occupied Afius-karuhissar,
Eutaia, Eski-Shehr and Hilledjik
which now comprise our consolidated
front, our troops in the northern sec
tor and those of the southern sector
have effected a junction and form a
connected line. In the center the
| enemy front has been broken and his
troops at Angora have been separated
| from those at Konieh."

JAPANESE CABINET
DECIDES TO ACCEPT
HARDING SUGGESTION
CBy Associated Press)

TOXIC, July 26.-The Japanese cab
met has decided to accept participa-
ton in the proposed conference on far
eastern problems, the Associated Press
was informed today.
1t is understood the Japanese answer
will be forwarded to Washington in
the near future.
According to Japan's understanding
of the American viewpoint as given
out here. Americas idea is to make
the basis of the conference a broad
discussion of policies and principles,
rather than of specific topics, although
each participant would have the right
to introduce specific subjects if they
were genuine to the principle under
discussion and if the powers generally
in the Pacific were affected The
idea is said to prevail that questions
affecting two powers should be left
wherever possible, to the powers con
cerned.
Position Summarized
The general position of Japan was
summarized as follows:
Peace now prevails in the far east
and the great aim of the conference
should be to harmonic policies, and
all participants in the conference
should stripe to this end. Bitterness
and misunderstanding should not be
created by allowing any participant tc
leave the conference with the feeling
that action had been taken detrimen
tai to his rights and vital interests.
