flowers and the country districts
cannot keep up with the demands,
SO that it is necessary to send to

+. Peacock, Esq, appeared for the
plaintiff and Carl z. Blackington,
Esq, for defendant. Suit was brought
to recover the purchase price of a
second hand harvester and the am
cunt involved was $135. The plain
tiff testified that he sold the harves-
ter or binder, as it was called at
times, to the defendant for an agreed
price of $135: that he delivered the
binder and was promised a note but
never got one. and after making one
or more demands, in November, 1921

Defendant acknowledged the pur-
chase and delivery of the machine
but said he paid for it by weekly
payments in July, August and Sep
TENDER of 1921. while working on the
read during that time. He stated
that he refused to give a note for
the binder, but did give a paper stat
ing that he owed the plaintiff $135
for the binder; that the paper was
returned to him at the time he made
the last payment in September. 1921.
The defendant also stated that the
paper he got back from plaintiff was
destroyed in his fire.
In rebuttal the plaintiff introduced
evidence of neighbors of defendant,
who testified that his reputation for
truth and veracity in that communi-
ty was poor. A Mrs. Young of the
same neighborhood testified that in
the latter part of July the defendant
told her that Mr.. Washburn had
asked him to pay for that harvester,
but that he could not at that time,
etc. One witness in rebuttal testi-
fed that defendant told him he had
saved all of his papers.

COAST GUARD TO
 RENEW CUSTOM OF
 CELEBRATING BIRTH

Washington, Aug The United
 States Coast Guard tomorrow renews
 it's custom of celebrating the anniver-
 sary of it's creation by Congress on August 4, 1790.
 Special drills and ceremonies are
 being held on all Coast Guard ves- sels and at all land stations. The career of the Coast Guard over g. pe- riod of 1S2 years is reviewed by As
 sistant Secretary of the Treasury CIff- ford in despatch which is to be read at muster of all units of the
 guard. This dispatch says:
 'On August A, 1790, George Wash ington, President of the United States. approved an act which included,
 for the construction of not exceeding
 ten revenue cutters and specified how the cutters should be of1cered, nna-
 riners and boys. This was an act of gress and it is of interest to note that this entire session was held in the city of New York.
 After the freedom of the Arneri- can colonies had been won through the War of the Revolution the Con- | tinental Navy was disbanded. There was then no sea force available for
 the protection of the coasts and the maritime interests of the newly con- stituted United States until the or- ganization of the Revenue-Cutter Ser vice, effected under this act of August 4, 1790. The cutters formed the only armed force afloat belonging to the young Republic until navy was au- thoriZed a few years later. The ofi1- cerS of the first cutters were appoint | ed largely from the officers who had
 It is interesting to know that the first commission granted by President Washington to any officer af1oat was | issued to Captain Hopley Yeaton or New Hampshire in the Revenue Cut | ter Service.

 birthday of the Revenue Cutter Service which was merged, in 1915. with the life-Saving Service to form the United States Coast Guard. So, today, Aug ust 4, 1922, we are observing the 132nd birthday anniversary of the stThe dominant thought in your
 minds today should be an intense
 pride in the long and honorable rec ord of the service. The Coast Guaro is no mushroom growth. Founded at the very outset Of our national history, | it has served the country faithfully and we'll for 132 years, in piece and
 in war. The service has played a distinguished part in every war in
 which this country has been engaged, with the exception only of war with tTripoli; and, with a notable military ord that is unequaled for humanttar- ian accomplishment in afford1ng suc- cor to those in distress at sea- It had behind 1t a long and honorapIe functions of the government that are now so much in the public eye were even dreamed of. The servlce was an arm of the government when the young Republic, just setting out on it's career of destiny, had yet to con. vince the world of its permanence; it played its part through all the Viclss1- tudes of our national growth until to- day when it is a valuable and highly respected instrumentality of the greatest nation that the world has ever seen.'

Washington,

Washington, Aug. s--Charges of consiracy were brought against ed condensed milk yesterday. before the Senate Subcommittee of Agrt- culture by Alfred R. Urion, attorney for the Hebe Company. in a senate ing Added to this was a recomnen- dation to the committee that these charges be turned over to the Fed- eral Trade Commission for further investigation and corroboratton.
 The charges marked sensational development in the hearing of the Voigt bill before Senators Mckinley, of Illinois; Ladd, of North Dakota. and Hendricks, of Myoming o9a n1dsgad ana +bst ls the cond ensed milk manufacturer. has fostered the Voigt bill which aims to prohibit the interstate ship ment of skinned milk compounds. These. it was shown, are mixtures of refined cocoanut or other vegetable fats with pure skinned milk in the ratio that butter is found in whole milk and are sold on the market as cooking and baking fluids.
 Under cross examination J. Wal lace Bryan, an attorney representing the dairy interests who favor the bill, admitted that he also was represent ing the condensed milk nanufactur- CT. In addition letter was offered to the Senate committee written by Walter Engels, legal representative of the company, to R. W.

 Dr. Joseph Brennenman. head of the Children's Mem orial Hospital Of Chicago, appeared before the com 1nittee yesterday and testified that in his opinion swetened condensed milk was the most harmful food that could be fed to an infant. 3sIn my opin- ion.'' he said tthe widespread use of this food is the most pernfcious thing in our system of infant feeding and has done more to injure the health of our children than any other one thing.

SHE SINGS UNDER WATER; HER VOICE
 CLEARLY HEARD
Girl Discovers Her Unique
 Ability by Accident and Develops It By Practice.

Liquid soprano" are the words se- lected by her friends to describe the voice of Miss Bernese Hackney, a 16- year-old Washington girl, who dis covered by accident that she could sing under water and has developed the stunt ta a remarkable extent.
 "I first learned of my ability to sing under water" said Miss Hack ney, when, in attempting a back dive, I hit the water a +whopper' on my side had made such an awk- ward dive that I laughed under the water-and heard myself.
 'FI began practising, Now I can sing a whole stanza under water loud enough for those outside to hear. do not hum. I open my mouth just as natural singing, but no water seems to get in.''
 Bernese is a dark-skinned, slender girl of distinctly Creole cast. Her mother was Spanish, her father MeM- can. While she does no attach any special value to her ability as a gen. uine 1iquid soprano she says she's going to keep up practice in under water vocalization.
