PROGRESS IS MADE
ON new HIGH SCHOOL
FOR FRANKLIN PUPILS

Plans for a new high school build
ing in Franklin township at White
water are taking definite shape, &C
cording to an announcement made by
Will Curtis, township trustee. A meet
ing of the advisory board of the town
ship was held last Saturday at which
time the trustee was instructed to
have plans for t!ie building drawn and
estimates prepared.
Working and Son, Richmond archi-
tects, are preparing the drawings for
the trustee.
Trustee Curtis stated that the new
building would be similar 10 the school
at Tippecanoe City, O., which is con-
sidered one of the most modern con-
solidated schools in this part OF the
country.
County Superintendent Williams, j.
o. Edgerton, Wayne township trustee,
Will Curtis, Franklin township trustee,
and the advisory board of Franklin
township recently visited the school at
Tppecanoe City and expressed the
idea that it was practical for Franklin
township.
1t is expected that the building will
be modern in every respect with the
domestic science and gymnasium facil-
tiles Mr. Curtis would not make any
statements relative to this or state the
probable cost, saying that this would
come out after the architects plans
were announced. The school probably
would be built this summer or next
fall. The present building is said to
be condemned.

south, the Greeks were forced to con.
tend with strong enemy forces who
defended their positions with machine
guns and hand grenades. A Turkish
flag and several machine guns were
captured by the Greeks, the statement
says. and the Greeks advanced over
difficult ground TO hill nearby where
they repulsed more than a score of
counter attacks and finally forced the
Turkish forces to retreat.

of destroying redoubts and barbed
wire entanglements. The fire began
there on March 90, and the Turks
threw reinforcements into the strug

RUMORED IN CUBA
(By Associated PresS)

HAVANA, Cuba, April Business
men and commercial organizations
here are keenly interested in rumors
that substitute for the Fordney
emergency tariff bill will be intro
duced at the forthcoming session of
the American congress. The Ameri
can chamber of commerce of Cuba,
through Frank Steinhart, its president,
yesterday wired the chamber Of COM
MERGE of the United States requesting
that a protest be made against the in
PRODUCTION or passage of a substitute
bill under plea that it would result in
the loss of American trade from Cuba,
Central and South America.
Information received by the Ameri
can chamber of commerce of this city
indicates the bill would provide for
tax of one cent pound on sugar,
while tobacco, in various forms, would
be liable to an impost which would i'm
peril the present export trade on these
articles between Cuba and the United
States.

US. TO LOSE TRADE
OF SOUTH AMERICA
SOON, SAYS PAPER
CIV Associated P,ess,

SANTIAGO, April 1.-The South
American countries will be CONNER
cial clients OF the United States so
long as. they are not able to avail
themselves OF more advantageous
markets, says the newspaper Ultimas
Noticias. in an editorial in which it
asserts American goods Ordinarily
are of inferior quality"
The paper says the war permitted
the United States to enter into COM
mercial relations with the South
Americans who by force of necessity
were obliged to accept Americas
strange systems, Numerically oppos-
ed to those that had been used by
the great producing nations of the OLD
world" 1t is we'll known, the paper
declares. that the methods employed
by the North American exporter diff
fer notably from those followed by the
exporters of Great Britain, and above
all. by Germany. fl.
THE American goods apart from
hafnx. ordinarily. sof inferior quality,
are costly the paper adds, land in
addition the goods are badly packed.
This results in heavy losses. More
over the Americans do not concede
credit, ands.if they do concede credit,
it is on terms little acceptable. ..,
Merchant Answers CHARGES.
Replying to the newspapers charges
of inferiority in American merchan-
disc, a writer in the newspaper. Ell
Mercurio, signing himself Chilean
Merchant" says: eff American goods
are consumed by 150,o00.000 Ameri'
cans and Canadians-in fact by nearly
half the population of the universe
are you not able to be assured that
American merchandise should be good
enough for we South Americana"
the newspapers asser-
ton that american export methods
are entirely different from those en-
ployed by the Europeans, the Chilean
merchant says there are two reasons
for this;. First, because the Europeans
have. demonstrated that their system
OF selling has not proved beneficial
since sit only has facilitated fictitious
business without foundations, result
ing in, heavy losses through bad az
engagements or Z bankruptcies" and
secondly, because the Europeans are
not able today to extend long term
credits through lack of means. The
Chilean merchant thinks the period
of long term credits has passed never
to return. :
