BLOOMINGTON

When directors of the Bloomington
Fair had settled up all bills it was
found that instead of there HAVING
been small deficit on the 1922 fair,
as was expected, there was instead a
small balance of perhaps $3.50 on the
credit side of the ledger. Now the di-
rectors have decided to use this money
and other aid that has been promised
to grade and level off the ground in
side the track and expect to do the
work thin fall. To our notion this is
the biggest Improvement that can be
made on the fair ground and we hope
the work will be started at once and
rushed to completion as fast as posi-
BILE. The Record proprietor is pre-
pared to aid by the contribution of
some money and we know good
many other people who will do like
wise.

There is a prevailing impression
that there is a greater number of
squirrels in this country this fall
than for many year. Owing to the
fact that the little animals are so
numerous the abundant crop of hick-
DRY nuts is being gathered from the
trees without the land owners being
able TO obtain more than a meager
quantity of the same. The pesky
squirrels got practically all the hazel
nuts. Right here it is worthy of men
ton that the season for hunting
squirrels does not open until the 18th
of this month.

SEEKS MORE MINERS

The Zinc Hill Mining company of
Cuba City, has posted notices in sew
eral towns and villages asking for
men to work at the Big Dick mine.
Recent discoveries in both lead ore

AS soon as sufficient number of
men can be obtained, work will be re-
sumed in the outputting of zinc ore.
At present mining operations are con-

Lloyd George Was Sole Survivor
OF big Four" During World War
Fighting Weshman Became Prime Minister in 1916 and
Had Successfully Withstood Many Attacks Since.

Lloyd George outlasted all the
statesmen who guided the great ma
tions through the World War. The
three men with whom he sat at Paris
as the big Four" of the Peace Con-
ference long ago were retired. Prem
Ter Orlando of Italy was the first to
go. His cabinet resigned in June,
1919. The following January. Clemen-
ceau, the French "Tiger," was cast
aside. Two months later, the Senate
Of the United States refused for a
second time to ratify the Peace
Treaty Woodrow Wilson had brought
home from Versailles, and not long
afterwards his party was beaten at
the polls and Lloyd George became
the outstanding figure among all the
men Of the World War who were en-
gagged in public affairs.
He has held the Premiership con-
tinuously since 1916. He was made
Prime Minister in the midst of the
world conflict, as a result of the AL
lies failures during the first two years
OF fighting. On the outbreak OF the
war, Herbert Asquith was British
Premier, at the head Of Liberal min
istry, with Lloyd George as Chancel-
lor Of the EXchequer.
The British public demanded non
partisan war ministry and Lloyd
George was chosen TO head a Coalition
Cabinet of Liberals, Conservatives ana
Laborites. The choice fell on him be-
cause Of the success and energy he
had shown as Minister of Munitions
and because OF his optimism aud fear
lessness.

No one was injured. The transfer
Of passengers was done with the ves-

wind blowing at between twenty five

The Pulitzer Estate has no
knowledge Of the matter to
which Surrogate John p. Co
halan referred in his campaign
speech at the Town Hall Tues
day night. If Mr.. Cohalan
meant to imply that Charles F.
Murphy INTERVIEWED in the
valuation OF the Pulitzer Es-
tate at the request OF the
Pulitzer heirs or Of The World
or Of any agent, his assertion
is destitute OF any semblance
OF truth.
No such request was ever
made to Mr.. Murphy nor is It
conceivable, in view OF The
Worlds record Of consistent
opposition to him. that Mr..
Murphy would have voluntarily
undertaken TO influence a Sur
rogate in the appraisal OF the
Pulitzer Estate. To the best
OF my information and belief
the Cohalan statement Is false
