FAMOUS WOMAN BALLOONIST
VISITS PARIS

Miss Stella Jaeger, who claims to
be one of the worlds most daring
woman balloonists, made good her
claim in two ascents made in Paris,
Saturday and Sunday afternoons,
her feat being witnessed by large
crowds of interested and thrilled
spectators.
The first ascent was made at a
late hour Saturday afternoon, dut
to various delays in getting ready,
and to the further fact that the
large crowd attending the Paris
Lexington ball game wanted to see
the ascension. Both ascensions
were made from the Murphy lot on
Second street. The first was made
in an atmosphere in which scarcely
"a ripple seemed apparent. Miss
Jaeger went up about eight hun
dred feet, and at that height, shut
off the balloon valve, and made her
descent by jumping from one para.
chute to another, three in all. She
landed safely in the rear of the
Thurman barn, a short distance
from the starting point. She was
vigorously cheered and applauded
for her daring act. Sunday after
noon, due to threatening weather
and cross currents, the ascent was
late, but the daring sky-skimmer
made the trip safely. The balloon
rose gracefully and was carried
across the city at a height of about
eight hundred feet to a point over
the Hancock farm, on the Winches-
ter pike, where the parachute jump
was again made safely.
Miss Jaeger has had a number of
unusual experiences. One night
she landed in three feet of water;
once she landed on top of five
story business house, and once, af-
ter night she landed on a pile of
rocks, receiving bruises and strained
ligaments, but not enough to pre-
vent her from undertaking her reg
ular program the following day.
Miss Jaeger is a native of Middle
town, Ohio. She has appeared in
towns all over the United States,
and is everywhere recognized as one
of the most daring workers in her
perilous business.

LUbY ROGERS
FINDS STILL
IN HIS BARN
Farmer of Browns Chapel
Neighborhood Turns
Complete Outfit Over to
Sheriff Stcpp.

"Finding a needle in a haystack'
is an old fogy phrase that must give
way to the more modern cOnstruc-
ton, particularly in Greene county.
Luby Rogers of the Browns Chapel
neigh hbOrhood found a still in his,
with half a gallon of hardkicking
liquor to boot.
Just who the outfit belongs to
and just how it got concealed in
Mr.. Rogers hay pile he would like
to know. In the absence of any
information as to the origin of the
Illicit paraphernalia and hoping to
be of assistance in locating the own
er of the outfit, Mr.. Rogers brought
the assortment to Sheriff Chas.
: Stepp and the latter has it in his
possession at the county Jail.
While Mr.. Rogers was moving
some hay in his barn he suddenly
came across the booze equipment
and a container with half gallon
of the finished product, The outfit
consisted of a worm, a quantity OF
meal and sugar
Some operator perhaps had con-
ceived the idea that officers were
close upon his trail and in order
to protect himself from discovery
secreted the still in the barn at
Mr.. Rogers home.

Adjournment was taken at the close
of yesterdays meeting between the
Chinese and japanese delegates to
the Washington conference on the
question of Shantung. The conver-
sations, which have Seen proceeding
intermittently for several weeks,
apparently came to an end with
neither side willing to make conces-
sions to the other.
Japan made a new offer in the
nature of concession at yesterdays
Shantung meeting, Vive Foreign
Minister Hanihara said last night
This was to make a Japanese rail
way loan for the Shantung railroad
for term of / years with China
granted the option to redeem the
loan at the end of five years from
the date of signing the agreement
and after six months notice.
Mr.. Haninara said this was ia
pans final suggestion for settle
ment and that it was based on in
structions from the home govern
ment. He added that the Chinese
delegates declined the offer but said
that there might be another meeting
either today or Monday. There
was some understanding that the
Chinese would consult with Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Balfour, but for
| the present at least the Japanese
had no intention of asking Mr.. Bal
four and Secretary Hughes to in

The following statement was is

N. E, CHURCH TO
AROUSE WORK
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Aggressive Campaign to In
duce All School Attend
ants to Become Identified
With Church Membership
(From Saturdays Daily

The pastor, officers and teachers
of the First Methodist Sunday
school request the announcement
that they are beginning great
evangelistic campaign, which has as
its objective the conversion of every
unsaved person enrolled in the Sun
day school, an effort to induce all
who are not members of the church
to unite with the church and be-
come active workers. The plan is
TO search out those who should pre-
pare for special work in the Sunday
school and church and help prepare
them for teachers and officers, and
to give to those who may be called
to life service an opportunity to
dedicate and consecrate their lives
to such service, an official of the
church said.
This campaign, it is announced,
will be conducted entirely by the
local pastor and his officers and
teachers without outside assistance,
depending very largely upon the per-
sonal work of the teachers, who will
be assisted by all of the officers and
other Sunday school leaders. 1T is
planned, the church officials said, to
bring the campaign to close on
April 9th in great Decision Day
service. Following the close will
come a week of special preparation
for the new converts who will be
received into church membership on
Easter Sunday, April 10th
