AND GEORGE SIGNED THE
LEAGUE COVENANT

According to the New York Times,
that paper and associates have re-
Gently cancelled a contract under
which they were to pay Lloyd-George
nearly 100000 for the serial rights
on his memoirs, the reason for the
cancellation being that Lloyd-George
had made q subsequent contract to
supply a series CT articles to another
American syndicate. Regardless Of
the merits Of the controversy between
the British statesman and American
publishers, it is apparent that Brit
ishers are making good money out of
the readers Of American newspapers.
This is one small item in the numerous
business transactions which have
brought British exchange so nearly
back to par. Europe is getting more
help from America than she is willing
to admit.

There are Eve millions of illiterates in the United

The foreign press keeps the foreigner foreign.
The foreign language press in this country has de-

BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
KONORS TEN EMPLOYEES

Six women and four men, employees
Of the Bell Telephone Company, have
Just received the Theodore n. Vail
medal for noteworthy public sevice
and heorism on duty. One twenty
year lad received a gold medal and
five hundred dollars in cash! the
others received a silver medal each
and two hundred fifty dollars in cash.
The mrn and women who received
these awards did their duty, sticking
to their posts during fire and flood,
rescuing others, warning imperlled
people, saving threatened property
from robbers, rescuing companions
from electrocution, ETC., without any
idea of reward. Nor does the medal
and the cash make the heroism any
greater. But it does make it more
valuable to the community because
il brings before others the inspiring
example of those who put service
above self, who risked their lives
unselfishly for others, who practiced
true brotherhood.
The telephone company donors
itself, in honoring these, it's servants.
1t shows that a great corporation has
a heart, and an appreciation OF the
glory that is in that immortal SEN

had to lay down their lives; but they

Some of our local hunters have been
having lot of sport this winter in
fox and coon hunting Our attention
has been called to a hunt in which
larger game was the quarry Ed Pow
ell and Code Kanablewereou one night
with the young hounds belonging to
Mr.. Powell and couple of other good
hounds when the dogs struch the trail
of wolf and long chase was had.
After several hours of trailing, the
trail led across the west branch of the
Kickapoo where the tracks were plain
iy visible and from their size and shape
Che men knew they were following a
wolf. AT about this time the dogs
were sighted and it was seen that
Powell's young dog was leading the
bunch with its nose close to the ground
and running freely. The chase was
continued all night and the next day
until toward night when the wolf was
finally captured over near Retreat.
Mr.. Powell is very enthusiastic over
the performance of his dog and he is
justified in his pride as the young
hound led the chase practically all the
way. and was in the fight at the finish.
