GOsler Celebrates
1,OOOth Birthday

cOSLAR, Germany, Aug. -Drowsy
old Goslar, Methuselah OF the Harz'
has tripped lightly into the Hmellght
- announce to the world it has reached
Sc thousandth birthday. A gala cele-
b~ation by prominent men from many
narts of the country, marked the occa-
sion.
In preparation for the event Gosiar
dressed itself all up in its Sunday
hest" with a general coat of fresh
naint and lavish decorations. 1t took
on once more something Of the old glo-
nv of centuries gone by when it often
served as an imperial residence. Even
the venerable Kaiserhaus, built by
Henry III and said to be the Oldest
secular building in Germany, appeared
frightened up for the day.
The anniversary observance began
in this building with a formal pro-
gram in which public leaders in town,
provincial, and national life took part.
A historical pageant several miles
long paraded the streets later, followed
by a huge folk picnic on the mountain
side. In the evening folk-play was
presented by local talent.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
IN PORTUGAL BAD
Country seems on verge Of revolution
ON account of the financial condition

LISBON, Aug A rate of exchange
alarmingly low and prices OF food
stuff exorbitantly high have .conspired
to make the cost of living in Portugal
a serious problem. And profiteering
as an additional factor, cannot be over
looked.
Several highly placed State function
aries have been arrested and jailed,
charged with conspiracy and the hold
ing OF secret meetings, which is an
indication of an underlying political
unrest. 1t Is felt in some quarters that
a military movement is in preparation
to act in case of fresh outburst OF
| the turbulent elements which brought
| about the political assassinations of
| last October.
Attacked By Press.
The press is clamoring against the
| economic condition of the country,
| the government to put an end to the
| speculation to which it chiefly attri-
butes the increasing fall in exchange.
The Minister of Finance is trying to
| raise an internal loan and has had
! conferences with several of the most
| prominent Portuguese bankers to these
| end. His efforts have not so far been
| successful.
One Of the factors said to contribute
to the situation is that, although eX-
| portation amounts to several million
pounds, all this money is deposited in
| foreign banks instead of being paid
| out in the country. At the same time
| gambling in exchange is being carried
on in barefaced manner. In London
| banks alone there is said to be over
25,OoO,00O Portuguese pounds which
| would greatly improve the rate of ex-
| change If left here. The constant ar
rest of officers and civilians and the
fact of the troops having to keep with
IN barracks to be ready at moments
notice. adds to the general unrest.
| EPOCA directs attention to the
| statement of the British Premier.
Lloyd George calling upon the nations
which owe England money to pay in
terest charges in October. This debt
amounts to over $4,000, 900, and in the
paper asks if the interest is to be paid
when due.

Barnyard Golfers
Will Standardize
Game At TOURNEY

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 1G-CBy The
Associated Press)-Horseshoe pitchers NJ
the nation will meet to reorganize the
sport on national basis at their ma
tlonaI tournament to be held at the
state fair here August IS to September
l. according to B. G. Leighton, of Min
neapolis, president of the National Horse
shoe Pitchers Association.
Growing by leaps and bounds, the
sport has penetrated to virtually every
community in the United States and
numbers approximately one million men
and women players at present, Presf-
dent Leighton said. Thousands of clubs
have been organized rules of the game
been standardized and generally adopt
ed. It now remains to establish on a
self-sustaining basis a central and con-
trolling body devoted to the welfare Of
the game, he said
Every horseshoe club in the country
is being urged to send delegates to the
national tournament here to help deter
mine the future Of the sport.
The Des Moines convention will be of
Importance to the game because of the
pending merger of two competing ma
tiona1 associations, the National League
Of Horseshoe and Quot Pitchers of St
Petersburg, Fla, and he National Horse
shoe Pitchers Association of which Mr..
Leighton is president. The st. Peters,
burg organization was formed in Febru-
airy, 1919, the latter group in 1921. I'm
til a permanent, unified association is
formed there can be no authoritive
standardization of rules. or national
| tournaments, it is argued The question
of the merger will be settled at the Des
Moines meeting.
