GUARD THE WATER DANGERS,

One of the saddest things at this sea son of the year is the large number of lives lost while in or on the water, and the number Is for the most part made up of young people. Many of the com munities throughout New England have within a few days reported cases of hrowntngs numbering from one to twelve. Canoeing, bathing and diving accidents caused a dozen deaths Sunday in and about Boston.
 It is fully realized that this is the season of the year when such are to be expected. It is only characteristic of what has gone before and in view of the great number who are engaged in simi- lar pursuits the number who lose their lives Is not large. but the deplorable fact is that even in the cases where death results the exercise of a little more care and the display of due regard for safety would have prevented these untimely deaths.
 Those who go out in canoes cannot Tail to understand the danger which is Involved, especially If they cannot swim. Those who go into the water to kathe should be careful to not get beyond their depth, go where It is known to be dan gerous or they know little or nothing about what may be treaeherous bottom And those who swim should realize that they are not immune from drowning.
 Going into the water and learning how to take care of ones self there Is to be encouraged. but it is net advisable to go into the water unless others are around or to get in to depths where 1t Is inn possible to take care of self or for oth- CTS to give assistance. It is an equally dangerous practice to undertake to dive into shallow water. If sufficient depth cannot be assured 1t would be far bet ter 10 forege the diving. Life is far preferable to taking unwsrranted chances.
 It is an old saying that it is better tc be safe than to be sorry but reflection thereon should come while there is an opportunity. When one is going down for the last time 1t is too late to come 10 the conclusion that a little more thought ought to have been given tc safety.

voy made his reverence retiring at once into the drawing room, where the King, Queen, Princess Royal and the younger Princess, her sister. all spoke to the new minister Very courteously.
 But notwithstanding the memorable historical bearings of this mission of the great American statesman as fist ann bassador of the newborn republic, and, although King George had submitted with dignity to the painful necessity of such meeting, the embassy was attended with no permanently favorable result, either to America or to Mir Adams.
 Indeed, of the many humiliations which befell the unhappy George, perhaps few were so bitterly as this almost eompul- sorry interview with the representative of 8 people. once his subjects, afterward rebels and now free.

great pasture areas Of the community.
This stock when brought together in
to one big herd will be identified oy
the respective owners, remarked, ana
if necessary put through the dipping
yats and given such other attentions
as may be found necessary. What
cattle, sheep and hogs are not return
ed to the pastures will be offered for
sale. For the occasion tomorrow
County Demonstration Agent Madison

ed that two western live stock buyers
will be present. It is estimated that

IMPORTS INCREASE
DURING PAST YEAR
GERMANY TRADE WITH U. S.
GREATER THAN PREVIOUS
PERIOD

The imports from Germany last year
were nearly nine times as great as in
the previous calendar year and ap-
proximate nearly half the average of
trade for the two years Immediately
preceding the war, according to a sum-
mary issued a few days ago by the
Department of Commerce, at Wash
ington. During 1920 imports from
Germany were valued at SsS,O3S,2S0
as compared with s10,6OS,141 in 1919,
and with S184,211,141 in 1919, and
with -1s6,042,644 in 1912.
Considerable fluctuation was shown
in the total values by months in 1920,
the summary said. For the first two
months of 1921 they averaged S4,790,-
900 q month.
According to Secretary Hoover,
however, trade reports based on val
ues fail to reflect the true condition
of American trade because of the
continual price changes during the last
year. Only by knowledge Of the
volume of American imports and ex-
ports can the foreign trade situation
be accurately guaged, in the Secre-
tary's opinion. Efforts to obtain vol
ume reports of American trade gen.
orally are understood to have been
begun by the Department of Conf
merce.
Of the 1920 German imports, pot
ash fertilizer materials with 452,075
tons valued at s21, ,O42, ,64S, formed the
largest group. Chemicals, valued at
s67, ,997 ,s34, of which S2,110,O25 con-
sisted of coal tar dyestuffs, stood sec
ond.' The next largest items were
sugar and cotton manufacturers.
Spirits, wines and malt liquors i'm
ported from Germany during the year
were valued at $121, ,576.

IDENTIFIES SUSPECT
Believe They Have Man
Who Wrecked Wall Street


Identification of Tito Ligi, arrested
in Scranton, last Tuesday week on sus-
picion of completely in the Wall street
explosion last September, was made
Saturday by Thomas ]. Smith, Of
Brooklyn, employed in the legal de-
partemnt of an insurance company
having offices in the New York finan-
cial district.
Smith picked out Ligi from line
Of six prisoners as the man he had
seen arguing with the driver of the
death wagon shortly before the ex-
plosion. He later told newspaper
men that few moments after the
blast he saw Ligi rushing along Cedar
street near Nassau street and Broad
way, urging two companions to hurry
out of the neighborhood.
Smith, who formerly was lieuten-
ant in the New York fire department,
assigned to investigate incendiaries,
said he was walking in Wall street
toward Broad few minutes before the
explosion.
At about 11,55 a. m. he said he
was approaching the banking house
of J. P. Morgan and company when
he saw a dilapidated wagon with red
and black striped wheels in front of
the United States assay office. In
side the wagon, partly covered with
newspapers, were two barrels and two
boxes about two or three feet square.
"I though it was a junk wagon" !"
he said. "My attention was first call
ed to it when I noticed two men stand
ing near the horses head, arguing.
1 crossed the street expecting to see
a fight. One of the men was about
five feet six inches toll, roughly dress
ed and of stocky build.
Smith said the other man standing
by the wagon was taller and better
dressed. This man, whom he identi-
fed as Ligi, was wrangling he said,
with the smaller man apparently try
ing to induce him to leave the neigh
borhood.
"The shorter man." Smith added,
apparently did not want to go.
thought they were going to fight and
I stayed around a moment but there
was no fight and went on, turning
up Nassau street.
"Just after had passed the corner
of Nassau and Cedar streets, l heard
the explosion. I turned to 60 back
to Wall street but was stopped by
the rush of people fleeing up Mas
sau street. Running by me in the
crowd l saw three men going west
ward h Cedar street towart Broad
way and one of them was the man l
had seen wrangling with the wagon
driver. Neither of the the two men
with him, however, was the driver.
zone of Ligi's companions was an
Italian about five feet eight inches,
fairly well built. The other also ap-
peared to be an Italian and was about
five feet six, He had a stubby black
mustache. fhe driver was urging
these two men along.
81 noticed that the voice was the
same as that of the man l had heard
wrangling with the wagon driver ana
when l looked it was the same man"
Confronting Ligi this afternoon
Smith again made test Of the pris-
oner's voice. When Ligi denied ne
had ever seen Smith the insurance
man declared the voice apparently
was the same he had heard both be-
fore the explosion and. a few minutes
after.
Ligi is being held in $4,000 bail
here for appearance before a federal
court in Harrisburg, May 2, on a
charge of evading the draft.
