Moonshiners of Greene, Lawrence

and rather annoying situation con
fronting them. The sheriffs of those
counties have organized themselves
into tri-coUnty raiding organiza-

after the illicit liquor element in
a manner that will be calculated to

their ability to "get by" the law in

The sheriffs and their posses yes

effort in the undertaking and met

KEYES DARED TELL
 SOV|ETS WHAT HE
 THOUGHT 0F THEM
Horse Trainer Received Com mendation For Frankness in Dealing With Russian
 Leaders

Riga, May 6.-Fred Reyes of Ely
 ria, O., trainer of blooded horses, is
 perhaps the only foreigner in Russia
 who told the soviet government just
 what he thought of it and received
 testimonial for his frankness. He
 lately left Russia for home after an
 absence of nine years.
 Reyes went to Russia in 1913 un-.
 der contract with Count Ilarion
 Dashkov, viceroy of the Caucasus. and owner of some of the most valu-
 able race horses in the world. He was to receive salary of from $10,- 900 to s15,O0 a year as breeder and trainer of the counts horses and as
 manager of his 76,0OO-acre stock farm.
 Despite the counts death in 1915 and the revolution two years later,
 Reyes was reluctant to leave Russia. He saw his savings disappear, the farm taken over by the soviets and famine approaching. but still he de- termined to stick.
 This resolution remained unshaken for months, but thei turning point came When the government Shuuenty ordered his splendid trotting horses turned over to the peasants for or dinary farm work. Reyes sought out the highest soviet officials, literally took his life in his hands. and bit- tcrly arraigncd them for their action. Much to his surprise they heartily
 agreed with him, but refused to can eel the order.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN HIS NEWEST COMEDY, "PAY DAY." AT TRIANON

According to critics there is only one complaint to make about Pay Day" the latest Charles Chaplin pie ture which will be presented at the Trianon this weeK, beginning Mon day. It's two reels should be ten.
 There Is only one Chaplin. Any one doubting 1t need only see Pay Day" The distinctiveness of art is something by study or work. 1t is n matter of ability and instinct; and Chaplin is the one person who can blend the fine art of pantomime with a serious mien that makes the whole impersonation irresistibly fun ny.
 It's Chaplin's picture. He wrote the story. He directed the making of 1t and he stars in it. Apparently 1t would seem that when you've said Chaplin you've said all that needs to be said about Chaplin comedy. It's more of a truism in this case than ever because in addition te Charles, brother Sydney is in the cast, too, But the players also include Edna Purviance and Mack Swain. who are splendid foils for the stars stunts. The comedy brings the inevitable re- flection that Pay Day" comes only too infrequently.
 The face, the walk and the antics may be the same; but the laughs are different and the story is new in Pay Day" Such, at least, is the contention of the comedian himself. who asserts that he has never given so much thought and time to putting humor into anything as in this latest picture, a short comedy which Is fast equalling in popularity the record attained by some of the stars longer

75PACTS SIGNED

 BY SOVIET RUSSIA
Report of Official Journal Shows Effort For World
 Recognition

Moscow, May 6.-Soeiet Russia, de- spite it's isolation, has signed 75 vol untary treaties, agreements and con- ventions with foreign powers since the revolution of 1917, 1t is announced by an officail state publication re- bolsheviki toward world recognition. This list does not include three com
 pulsory conventions. such as the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which were concluded under duress.
 The treaties are arranged in three l groups, the first of which were con eluded with the so-called independent soviet republics; the second with states bordering on Russia. and the third with states of western Europe, including England and France. The only agreement between so- viet Russia and the United States is the one signed last August with the American Relief administration for the feeding of Russia's starving mil- lions in the famine districts.
 Twenty -One lreaJteS dTc tHipFdScu in the first group between the soviets and Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bukhara, Georgia, Ukraine, White Russia and the Far Eastern Republic. In gen eral, according to the official pub lication, those alliances provide for the unification of various depart ments of the several governments with Russia.
 Treaties between the soviets and the border states comprise 3l agree ments concluded with England, Es- thonta. Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ru-
 mania. Turkey. .Afghanistan, Mon golia and Persia. The most impor-
 tant of these. the publication de- ciares, is the treaty with Persia, which provides that Russia may send armed forces into Persian territory should a hostile nation at any time attempt to attack the soviets from that quarter.
 Repatriation of military and civil prisoners and re-establishments of
 trade are dealt with almost exclus- | lively in the third group. Trade agree | ments have been concluded between 1 soviet Russia and England France | Germany. Sweden. Norway and Italy, | as well as agreements. of one kind or | another with Austria, Belgium and l Hungary.

Seuen Days in LIP or New YaUk

A Chinese who happened to be pres ent elbowed his way up to a large police serg cant and said he'd like to see any large police sergeant try to get personal with him. The large sergeant got personal enough to ar rest the young gentleman and in spite of the froth and fury this was
 the only arrest made. lot of the liberals were said to have been deep ly disappointed.
 It developed, too, that one can be arrested in New York because one IS chased down Broadway by the little wife. Yea, indeed; if the little wife falls upon one as one emerges from a theatre with a lady at ones side. one can and is arrested for collecting e crowd although one has collected it quite unintentionally and on the run. John Campbell, a laborer, discovered this quaint twist in the law. The wife sail she would not enter com plaint provided Campbell promised to ne in the house nights by 10 o'clock.
 Campbell. panting from his sprint
 through the theatre throngs, gasped that he wouldn't promise to be home at all. But who are we to judge him? ?
 Civil law, however. is not the only kind with kinks in it. The immi gra- NlOn law IS acCOTulOn plealtu. l dhet for example, Mrs. Cana Novak, who became so broken up by wartime suf- ferings iii Poland that the authorities refused to let her enter the country. The bureau ordered deportation. Mrs. Novak Is the wife of a Brooklyn rab- bi; her two -months-old daughter is an American citizen and cannot be deported What can you do in a case like that? The migration people love to tie themselves up in these knots.
 1 Yet on second thought why should | people want to enter country so costly as this? Along comes Mrs. Emma Wertheim, widow of a type writer king, and explains to the sur rogate that she needs S25,000 an
 nually for the support of each of her 1 two young daughters. One of the
 girls is go and the other is IS. Each needs a yearly S5,000 for travelling l expenses alone. s4,Oo0 for clothing and s2000 for the upkeep of an auto
 mobile. You can see how expensive | if is tO te wealthy.

TO SAVE THE SOAP.

From The Thrift Magazine.
 One of the simplest devices is wire basket on toilet stand or sink in which the soap is placed for use. The current of air striking up from below dries the soap after each wetting and prevents loss through dissolving Of soap when the cake is allowed to stand in it's own drippings. Another method of soap saving is like that fol- lowed by grandmother. who bought soap by the dozen cakes. or some times A full box, took the wrappers off and allowed 1t to dry hard on her shelves, which added greatly to it's lasting qualities. A commercial de- vice for soap saving is that of attach ing to the bottom of each cake a piece of tin-foil, which is said to pro- tect the bottom of the cake from dis solving by water.
