Those who should know say they do
not see how Senator Lodge can well
avoid taking sides in the Cox-Allen fight
To attempt 10 remain neutral would cost
him votes In both camps, while to take
sides means making an enemy OF the

Democrats OF the state believe thev

Senator Lodge " they can unite Oh ne

course means the solid party vote for
their nominee, together with that OF the
anti-Lodge Republicans. that IS. those
members OF his own party who have
never been with Senator Lodge In his
stand against the League OF Nations
and who are not over-enthusiastic for
the Senator in his strong advocacy OF
the four Power treaty.

carried on for years 1t may even be
waged for a century, but man can win
against the insects II everybody enlists
for the struggle. the scientists say.
The war may tend to reduce the cost
OF living, since millions of bushels of
wheat and other foods are destroyed
annually by insects. the Agriculture De-
partment's records show. Insects at
tack wheat and nearly all kinds of grain
in the elevators OF the west, not only
destroying food but indirectly causing
fires and other disasters which increase
the losses.
In the nations libraries and museums,
worms are destroying books and price
less documents which never can be re-
placed.

tain varieties OF ants eat away the

The activities. OF the boil worm in

everyone.
Bugs and worms every year destroy
enough potatoes to feed the occupants
Of New York State. There Is no food
and few necessary raw materials that
are not attacked by insects. officials
say. to an extent that causes the nation
losses totalling millions year for
each product.
Moths alone are blamed for destroying
enough cloth every year to clothe half
the residents or New England. These
inroads tend to make higher the price
of cloth and clothing.

LETTERS in 5 HOURS
(From Kansas City Starr

The postoffice at Detroit recently
announced that Miss Nina E. Holmes,
twenty year old sorter in that city,
had broken all Detroit records by
sorting in eight hours 20,610 letters, or
at the rate of forty-three letters a min
ute.
This report reached Great Britain
and an inquiry was made as to the
greatest speed attained in the London
postoffice. An unofficial statement
was made that one clerk in a pro-
vincial office had been known to dis
tribute 26,400 pieces of mail in eight
hours, and mention was made OF some
who had achieved a letter a second.
The New York postoffice, according
TO its bulletin of information, has a
woman employe, 26 years old, IN
service three years, who recently
sorted S1,215 letters in eight hours
or in excess of a letter a second. Sew
eral clerks of the New York postoffice
are known to have exceeded sixty let
tiers a minute and one sorted eighty
eight letters a minute.
Of course, a higher speed can be
maintained for a short period than II

OLDEST INHABITANT
OF EATON CELEBRATES
TOOTH BIRTHDAY TODAY

EATON. Ohio, Dec. 22.-One hun
dred years ago, Dec. %, 1922, Mary
Elizabeth Degroat was born in Staten
Island, N. Y. Today Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth Degroat Hawkins celebrated the
Tooth anniversary of her birth in Ea-
ton, in the house in which she has
lived almost so years.
The centenary was very quietly OBJ
served in order to avoid subjecting the
aged woman to any undue excite
ment, which has an i'll effect upon
her.
Mrs. Hawkins has remarkably good
health and eats and sleeps well. Her
strength of body is most remarkable,
out she is handicapped by greatly i'm
paired vision. Nevertheless she goes
about the house and waits upon her
gelf. She always has been remark
ably free from illness.
Arrived 80 Years Ago
Mrs. Hawkins lives with her daugh.
ter-in-law, Mrs. Emily Hawkins. When
Mrs. Hawkins came to Preble county
more than so years ago from her ma
tive home in Staten Island, the trip
was made overland with her parents
Last Sunday the aged Mrs. Hawkins
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. A. II
Christmas at dinner in their home just
across the street from where she lives
With assistance she walked across the
street to the Christman home and when
she returned to her home she rode or
a sled. She remarked that it was the
first sled ride she had had in many g
year and that she enjoyed it.
Oldest Eaton Resident
Mrs. Hawkins is the oldest person
in Eaton. When she came here Eator
was a hamlet of only a few houses
and not many people. Because of hel
pronounced deafness. it is practically
impossible to converse with her re
garding incidents of the towns earl!
history.
Within the last two years Mrs. Haw
kins fell and broke her hip, but she
recovered rapidly from effects of th'
injury. Her other hip was broken IL
a fall some years ago.
