and the Veterans, We're called off OF

With the aid Of the concessions
and the music and everything that,
there, the camp is given touch of
the old life of stirring activity that
was its possession during the war
days. The carnival is spread in
Civic Center and has the regular
routine of carnival possessions and
! concessions with the showmen try

grounds. There is lot of noise
everywhere and those who are in
daily attendance seem to enjoy
themselves to the utmost.

many attractions is the dancing pa.

strikers and in some instances men
from other cities have come and when

the boys their noon mess of fri
casseed chicken, new potatoes, on

This city spent an unusually quiet
Independence day. Rain marred the
celebration. The rain started in the
forenoon and there was showers
throughout the remainder Of the day
and a steady rain at night. The incleb-
ont weather resulted in hundreds of
persons remaining at home who had
planned piciiics and parties to nearby
resorts.
The little folks had TO content them
selves last night with discharging
their fireworks from their doOrsteps

Vt was one Of the quietest and most

now confined to three notes.-the
Gresham, the Granville and the

Three more buildings on Sacks

by the Free State forces after the
structures had been heavily pepper

Evening News dispatch. 1t is un-
officially reported, adds the mes
sage, that Countess Markieviez and
a few women snipers have been
captured, their ammunition having
run out.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY


Washington, July 5.-There is not
the slightest doubt but that the ad-
ministration is very much perturbed
over the situation affecting the coal
supply of the country. 1t has been
hoped that when President Harding
called the operators and miners to
Washington for a conference on the
matter that some means would be de-
vised which would result in calling off
the present strike among the bitumin-
GUS miners and thus get going once
again the mines that have been closed
for almost three months now. But the
result of the three days delibera-
tions on the part of the miners and
operators has not been at all satisfac-
tory to the government officials, es-
pecially those who participated IN
the deliberations between the warning
factions. Coal is getting less plenti-
full each day. OF this there is not the
slightest doubt, and it is proven by
the reports made public by the u. 5.
Geological Survey. The government
will have to step in and step IN very
soon, but just what measures it will
take to bring about an end of the
strike is not clear at this writing. A
situation has arisen which will de-
mand the most drastic means if the
country and the public are not to be
made to suffer.

The German government has re-
ceived assurances that the admission
of Germany to the League OF Ma
tions will be given serious considera-
ton at the Forthcoming session next
September, according to cable adyices
received from the German capital
At the May meeting Of the League
Council the question of Germany.s
admission was examined and 1t Is
understood that the proposal was
viewed with favor by the Council. 1t
was thought expedient to delay ad-
mission of the Germans until theey
had demonstrated their good faith IN
the matter of reparations.
Whether Germany has been inform
ed in an official manner Of the report
ed willingness of the League to grant
membership to her in September can
not be ascertained at this time as at
taches of the German Embassy III
Washington are withholding any
comment upon the matter.

Those Senators who pushed through
the interchangeable railroad mileage
bill last Saturday with the hope it
would become operative within the
next few days are greatly surprised
and disappointed to learn that their
efforts were in vain. The fact is the
measure cannot become law until
after the House reconvenes following
the recess whic,: is to extend to Aug
ust Is. Speaker Gillett must sign the
bill in the presence of the House be-
fore it is sent to the President.
The pending bill, with the House
amendments, is satisfactory to the
Order of the United Commercial
Travellers, which was behind the leg

In this respect, well as in the attention
which he pays to the busiest details of his indus
try, the farmer of today is both an aggressive
and astute member of the community. He
leaves nothing to chance and guess work, but
seeks for facts, and guided by the data of his
own experience and those of the experiment sta
ton, conducts his enterprise on high plane.
Wayne county may well feel proud that so
many medals have been awarded to her farmers
by the Indiana Corn Growers association. 1t
shows that the farming community is striving
with keen enthusiasm to increase the productive

methods used by the winners, as set out few

interest. It contribution to the successful
methods of the raising of corn in Wayne county.
This new spirit is reflected also in the inter

taking in the industry. The pig clubs which have
been formed in the county enlist the interest of
the young men and women many of whom later
will be land owners themselves They are early
learning valuable lessons in the successful man

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
East Less Meat if You Fee
Backachy or Have Blad-
der Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieye them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy: take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear This famous
salts is made from The acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes
a delightful efferyescent lithia-wate1
drink which millions of men and wo
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder Diseases

and one of these is picked by Secre-
tary Hoover.
These are the main branches OF
this new trade organization. They are
assisted by several technical divisions
among which should be noted the new
" created commercial laws division
With 40 nations changing their i'm
port tariffs this year, and with a be
wildering and constantly shifting mul
titude of other trade regulations
throughout the earth, it is highly i'm
portant that the latest information OF
this sort be on hand in Washington
for the beefit of exporters. Such IN
formation the commercial laws div
sion obtains.
Those called in to head the branch
es and divisions of this organization
are for the most part keen, energetic
young business men. most of whom
have made regulations in their own
lines and who take their government
jobs at a sacrifice. They are bringing
a new atmosphere into the depart
mental offices. The average Ameri-
can business man, when he has TO ap
proach of the government. comes in a
suspicious and even hostile attitude.
But when he steps into the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce he
instantly feels at home. There they
speak the language of his tribe, and
he appreciates it. 1t is largely for
this reason that the bureau is getting
results.
