THREE MILLION UNDEH ARMS

Ono reason why Europe is in the
economic condition it is may be maoe
plain BY tbs figures showing that there
are today 100000 men under arms on
the continent. These men are withdrawn
from production. Moreover their atti-
tude in arms is constant menace 10
peace and continual drain upon the
bankrupt treasures Of the nations.
France has 100000 under arms, ano
Poland 100000, practically half or the
total. If the leaders OF these nations
would turn from military programs 10
industrial reconstruction, their countries
and the rest Of Europe would have
chance to settle down and 60 back to
Sentinel.

Mr.. SehOn intends to raise the fund
for the cottage plan institution at Lyn-

He wants the nickels and dimes of the
children to build the monument to
childhood instead of obtaining the
money in lump sum from some phil
anthropist. He believes that through
this method of raising the money, each
childish heart will be filled with the
thought of the good done with that
nickel or dime; of the soul that has

DOUBLE CROSSING
WAS RATHER POPULAR

Chicago. March 14-The trial
Of Chicago White Sox base ball
players charged with throwing
the 1919 world series, which be
gins today before Judge William
E. Dever, of the county court. is
expected to bring forth evidence
that almost everyone connected
with the alleged conspiracy was
double crossed III some way.
The loss by Charles A. Comis-
key. owner of the club, Of his
championship team and OF play
ers valued collectively as high as
100000, was looked upon at the
time of the jury investigation as
4 double crossing unparalleled in
baseball history. Testimony as
given during the grand jury and
which will probably be introduced
during the trial, indicated that
the alleged plans Of the gamblers
charged with fixing the series
and of players charged with
throwing it, also went astray III
several respects
This testimony, given by Wit
nesses. was to the effect that the
gamblers double crossed certain
players by not making good on
promised brides. certain players
IN return double crossed the gam
blerS bV winning a game on
which the gamblers had pyramid
ed previous winnings and thus
had lost many thousands OF dol
lars for the fixers, and that some
players even double crossed eaclr
other.

of the institution has been purchased,
leaving about 100000 cash on hand
to be at the disposal of the society for
building purposes.
1t is estimated that this sum will be
needed in the erection of the admins
atration building and two double cot
tages which will house about 10 chill
dren each. These buildings will be
completed about October l.
As accommodations then will be
available at the new home for only
about $50 children, whereas about 100
children now are at the home on Bax-
ter avenue, it may be necessary to
erect some temporary buildings.
Mr.. SchOn says he feels assured that
the remaining 100000 needed to COM
plete the cottage village will be raised
during the campaign this summer.
Ultimately the institution at it's new
location next to the Kentucky Military
Institute will consist of the admins

buildings, school, hospital, a chapel

ELKO COUNTY HAS FAIR
DATES CONFLICTING HERE

Editor Hale of the Elko Inde-
pendent, had a series of literary
spasms last fall when through an
inadyertance the management of the
Churchill county fair set dates that
eonflicted with those previously des-
ignated for the Elko county fair
Out of Difference to the Elkoites the
local fair was postponed and its best
exhibits lost as a result of frosts.
Now come the good folks over Elko
way many months after the Chur-
chill county fair dates had been an
nounced for the 18th, 10th and 18th
of next September and arrange to
run a fair over there as a eontem-
porary of the one to be held in this
city. 1t is barely possible that the
east county residents have awakened
To the truth of the claim of this pa
per, put forward last fall, wherein
the contention was launched that the
two county fairs are in no way con-
temporaneous, even though Editor
Hale had previously assured us that
such was the case. Churchill coun
ty is the land of real garden truck,
fruits and blooded stock, while Elko
county produces fair Missouri mules,
range cattle and sheep, and a few
porcine humans. OF course the ex
hibits will not conflict, nor will the
same throng of humanity crowd the
entrance gates of the two fair
grounds.
