Inside the city--if things don't 20
20 suit yOu.-talk 20 the officials
concerned and understand the sit
untion before you start 70 spout
forth your wise opinions. Maybe
you don't know everything connect

you may wonder why the Chamber of
Commerce don't fall upon the necks
of some Of these guys that propose
10 build an oil mill in Lubbock. IL
~ not becnse we don't want an oil
mill or don't intend to have mill
before very long--but some OF these
propositions are more than just or
binary jokea--they are tragic jokes.
For example. a proposition was just
recently made 20 move an old sec
ond hand mill here provided the
Chamber Of Commerce would do
nate 20 acres Of land. take half the
stock or around $4,000, and let the
Proposcr operate the mill. Natural

perly handle the line Of credit neces-
ary 10 operate q mill after Il u
, once established. Look into all the

suggestions and constructive criti-
ciam.

don't wait until the Minister comes
10 haul him out and tear into him.

GHOST IS TASTEFUL
Antioonish Spook Embarrassed By Strange Visitor, Fails To Haunt Usual Ilaunts.

Halifax, N. &, March S. (By As- sociatcd press) )--Obviously embar- rassed by the presence of so many strange mortals in his favorite haunt, the ghost of Antigonish did not walk last night, -l
 This was the substance of a bull letin issued today by pr. Walter Franklin Prince, director of the American Institute for Scientific Re- search who came all the way from New York to make the restless spirits acquaintance.
 pr. Prince, after his first night in the haunted house of Alex MacDon- ald at Caledonia Mills. reported the wee small hours had passed without a single ghostly manifestation.
 Neither the doctor, who slept with his fingers tied to the strings leading Ito bells and rattles in various parts of the house, nor the newspaper re- porters, movie men and 'still" photo- graphcrs who accompanied him, heard Il sound.>~-
 II the ghost does not recover its self possession and make its presence felt tonight, pr. Prince said. he will ask Macdonald and his adopted daughter, Mary Ellen, to spend an- other night in the place, in hope that their familiar forms may cause it to walk again.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
 ON HARTFORD AVE.
s3.5OO Damage Done nt Dry Goods Store Owned by Philip Katz
 This Morning

Fire of mysterious origin, did lamage of about S3,5o0 this morning about o'clock to the drug goods store of Philip katz at 60 Hartford avenue. Mir katz is in New York on business and his wife, Lena, was in charge of the store. She had gone to the bank and left the store locked.
 Policeman John r. O'Brien, who is stationed at the corner of Hartford avenue and East Main street doing traffic duty, saw smoke issuing from the building down the street and turn ed in an alarm from box 43
 When the fire department arrived smoke was belching from the store and the tenements above. The build ing is a wooden affair, containing a store and two tenements.
 The tiremen in short time had the fire under control. They confined the blaze to the store itself, although the whole interior was charred and the stock of goods damaged by the fire and water.
 Chief William J. Noble and Assist ant Chief Eugene F. Barnes in their investigations found that the fire originated between wall partition and a counter. There is a back room in the store where there was fire burning in a stove, and Mrs. katz ex- pressed the opinion that this was the cause Of the fire. Investigations show ed, however, that the fire started on the other side> of the partition, separ- ating the back room from the main part of the store. Both the chief and the assistant chief said they were of of the opinion that the circumstances wefe suspicious. because they could find nothing that might cause the fire in the vicinity of the place where it started.
 Mrs. Katz could not state at first whether there was any insurance on the place or not, but she afterward said that the damage was covered by insurance.

At Same Time Senator Lodge Appears on Scene
 and Makes Plea for Four Power Pacific Agreement.

Washington, March S.-The Lans- ing -Ishii agreement has been com pletely superseded by the nine power treaty relating to China now before the senate, President Harding inform ed the senate in response today to the recently adopted Borah resolution. The executive added that the four power treaty did not refer to China and does not directly bear upon the Lansing -1shii notes.
 Is Not Binding.
 "The so-called I.ansing-1shii agree ment," the president declared in let. ter to the senate, "has no binding ef- feet whatever, either with respect to the past or to the future which is in any sense inconsistent with the principles and policies explicitly de- c|ared in the nine power treaty
 The president added that the four power treaty "does not refer to China and hence does not directly bear upon the Lansing -Ishii notes which related exclusively to China," but said that the four power pact in his opinion was "an essential part of the plan to create conditions in the Far East al once favorable to the policies we nave long advocated and to an enduring peace"
