office was the last official chapter of long
public life of fine usefulness to his country.
He had been twenty-five years in Congress
before President Hayes, in 1877. called him
- which he was entitled by reason OF his
keen grasp of finance. This service was
followed by sixteen years i'm the Senate,
where he was the father of the Sherman
silver law and the Sherman antitrust law
He was President McKinley's first Secretary
OF state. but because OF his i'll health he
retired soon after the beginning OF the war

John Hay who served as Secretary of
state under Mckinley and Roosevelt. ranks
high among the dipomatists who have held
the Office His early experiences were use
full in that respect, for he was assistant pri

war and was secretary of legation az Paris
and Vienna. He succeeded Bayard IN 1897
as Ambassador to Great Britain, but was
called home 10 guide the State Department
in the Spanish War. To John Hay this
country owes the negotiation of the treaty
which made the Panama Canal possible
The world owes to him the opening of the
door of China and the fact that China was
not dismembered at the time of the Boxer
rebellion. Hay created too, our Philippine
policy established the Alaska boundary. and
obtained the recognition OF the new republic
of Panama and ended the Samoan dispute.

 "Tractor inquiries are coming into our agency at great rate" said George Marshall of Marshall X New

The tractor is proving a great friend of not only ranchers, but those en- gagged in the wood business and many other industries. The tractor costs little to keep up and easily dis penses with horses to a great extent in general work about farms.

Pacific Coast Conference Fl. evens Be Better Than Tn
 Previous Year.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 23.-All Coast Conference-W Washington State College, University of Oregon Uni versity of Washington and the Ore gon Agricultural College-are plan ming to send onto the football field this year teams stronger than in 1920, when they were defeated by the southern conference elevens, the Uni versity of California and Stanford University.
 In fact, Washington State is ex- pected to have so strong team this season that predictions already are being made that it will put up stiff and possibly winning battle, when it meets the University of California wonder team VI here October % Last year California walked away with the conference championship and reports from the South say this years eleven will be as strong if not stronger.
 Washington States team this year will be made up almost entirely of the men who played one year ago and forged to the top of the North west Conference percentage ladder. One hole, caused by the loss of Gillis. powerful fullback, will be filled, it is planned, by a lad named Hickey. now being groomed for the position. Coach Gus Welch, in addition to hay ing nearly II varsity veterans, has strong squad of last years "frosh" from which to pick.
 The dark horse" of the northern schools, it is thought, will be the University of Washington, which. since it's disastrous 1920 season, when it failed to win q conference game, has engaged a new head coach Enoch Bagshaw, and has made plans to turn to a new leaf in it's football annals.
 Both Oregon schools will be, strong At the University of Oregon. Coach Shy" Huntington Will lose several regulars. among them "Bill" Steers, noted quarter, but will have promis- ing material among the second year men. Much is expected of Charlie Parsons, brother of famous old Ore gon star, Johnny Parsons. There is a possibility that Mannerude, who flashed into fame as a star quar- ter and kicker in 1919, may return to school. s<sfe lv
 Over at Corvallis, where the Ore gon Aggies do their work, Coach Rutherford and his assistant, Guy Rathburn, are not yet making any public predictions. The Aggies are working hard. however, even taking footballs home with them during the summer vacation for practice work.

RAIN MAY BE CAUSE
 OF SHORT CIRCUITS

When car stops in heavy rain. storm suspect the distributor, the top of the coil or the plugs and wires of being wet. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. A driving rainstorm will enter through the ven tilator cuts in the hood and often manage to produce short circuit, which stops the car as effectually as if it were robbed of it's spark plugs. The only remedy is to wait for the affected parts to dry or to locate them and dry them off with rags. The best remedy is prevention. Small covers of oilcloth made to fit over the coil and distributor, similar in effect to the leather hood, which usually protects magnetos, will keep out the fine water spray. fp

This is the first time such a sentence has been delivered in France and if the judgment is held on appeal, it is believed in sporting circles that it will have a lasting effect on sports, as players will hesitate to risk going to prison for a game.

Baseball Veteran Sees Major League Game First Time ?,
 in 10 Years. ,.s

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Amos Rusie, an idol of baseball fans more than 20 years ago, sat on the sidelines at the. Polo Grounds during a recent game between the Yankees and White Sox, marvelling in Babe Ruth whom he declared to be the greatest figure in baseball. 3''t h't.
 "Its been 19 years since I saw a major league game" Rusie remarked "The game surely has taken long strides Back in my day we had some heavy hitters, but none of them could hold a candle to Ruth. I refer to Wagner, Lajoie and Ed Delehan- ty."
 Back in the nineties, when Rusie appeared at the Polo Grounds, the cheers and the shouting were all for him. The Hoosier Cyclone, they called him for he was considered the greatest right-handed hurler in the game. He dropped from the game in 1902 after trying yainly for two years to overcome the handicap of an in jured arm. .a','- frtE
 When Rusie left the game he re- turned to his home in Muncie, Ind, and later. went to Seattle, where he worked as a laborer. He is past. the 50 mark in, years and bis hair is gray. He sat unnoticedn n by players and fans alike, for her was unknown to them. 5e.fof s0H f2tt

MUNICIPAL COURT
Roy Morton of Windsor Pleads
= Guilty to a Second Larceny Charge
Case Is Continued for Sentence


Another Windsor larceny case was
brought to the attention of judge Rob-
ert A. Cony at the Augusta municipal
court on Thursday. The respondent
was Roy Morton of Windsor, one of
the four Windsor residents who were
lined up in front of the judge last
Tuesday, and of whom three were
given sentences for larceny Morton
pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing
a number of jars of preserves and
canned goods of the value of IS from
the home of Mrs. Waite at Windsor.
Mr.. Morton was brought to the city
by Deputy Sheriff Winfield Barton of
Windsor, whose work in the investi-
cation of this case and of the previous
case deserves the highest commenda-
ton. The words of Judge Cony to the
respondents at the previous hearing,
to the effect that the Morton place
must be cleaned up and that the con-
ditions there must be changed. brought
forth quick results. Morton, it ap-
peared, had at his house other things
which had not come to him rightfully.
and after he had returned them to the
owner he was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Barton, who had secured a
complete confession from him.
Upon Mortons pleading guilty. to
the charge of larceny Judge Cony or
dered the case continued for sentence
pending the carrying out of his pre-
vious order regarding the cleaning up
of the place by Morton.
