There will be no game on the Y.

Early in the week, it was said, ar

night and therefore no other game
has been arranged.

MAPPING BY CHINA BANDITS

Observation-Disclosures the bandit at

were kidnapped, was the result of a
political plot Is the point on which the
International commission of inquiry,
headed by Brig. Gen. w. D.. Conner,

The commission Is seeking to de-
termine first whether the train crew
had previous knowledge Of the bandits
plans to attack the express, and second,
whether the armed guard aboard the
train made any effort to resist the
bandits.
The process of enrolling the bandits
in the Chinese army is still going on
slowly n officials are opposed to at

and creating n breach.

Quiet Along the Potomac

Washlngton.-The national capital

already on hand for the annual conven-

mented hourly by new arrivals from
north, south and west. from Canada
and even from such far-away places
as Hawaii and Panama. All day and
far into the night Pennsylvania avenue
was a confusion Of noise and color as
each arriving delegation marched to its
headquarters behind its band.
Fair weather greeted the visitors and
the marchers found that the wide ex-
p~ansion of asphalt on the famous
thoroughfare gave back a heat akin to
that of the burning sands" Of the
desert.
The days arrivals included the auto
mobile caravan from California. There
were some 500 cars in line, but there
remained only n few of those that
started from the Golden Gate a month
ago. Western mud had halted many
Of the original. starters, but as they
came EAST the C~alifornians were Joined
by mobiles from many points in the
middle west.
President Harding, himself a noble,
had the entire first floor of the White
house thrown open to the Shriners and

famous green and red rooms were over

MILES POP DISPENSER

Miles City,. r. Small, said to be
from Billings shot and wounded Nell
Paddock In a liquor raid here and was
almost mobbed In return. However,
he merely wounded Paddock, who is
the proprietor of the soft drink place
conducted in the old Olive hotel bar.
One Of the % caliber bullets fired from
an automatic entered Paddock's right
arm, the other clipped through his
shirt under the arm. Policeman Pete
Anderson saved Small from rough
usage.
The shooting took place in front of
the Metropolitan cafe, which was filled
with late diners. Immediately after
being wounded Paddock grabbed his
hand and was standing In a dazed way
on the walk. Small still had the small
automatic in his hand when Officer
Anderson arrived. The crowd was
hemming Small in when Anderson
drew his gun and made his way
through the men to where Small was
standing. Anderson demanded that
Small give up his gun. The prohibit
ton officer refused, saying he was a
federal officer. Anderson asked to see
his badge and papers and was told he
didn't have either.
Small was conveyed to the county
jail where he was locked up awaiting

II. B. Roe. associate professor Of
drainage Of the University of Mime
sofa. contends that a dry a Is the
best time to install farm drainage sys-
TENS. Farm drainage" he says, "is
q preventive of drought because by
opening up and keeping clear the soil
pores 1t increases the storage room for
reserve moisture, gives more Uniform
distribution Of soil moisture and i'm
proves the filth Of the SOIL"
Professor Roe gives three 8
why a dry season IL the best time to
install drainage: First. the work a

cheaply ut such times; second, better
work can be done In dry weather be-
cause the tiler can see what he Is doing

conditions; third. most important Of
all Ii the preparation In advance for
the removal Of excess moisture In the
wei seasons sure to follow.
In summing up Professor Roe
Farm drainage prevents drouth and is
q means of resisting its effects. Care

sential to good results In drainage

Wizards Manufacture Lightning

PittsfieId, Mass.-From manufac-
tured clouds over a miniature village,
artificial lightning of 2.00O.O0O volts
was produced in the high voltage en-
cheering laboratory Of the General
Electric company's plant.
The feat was said to surpass any
previous accomplishment. Lightning
flashed from the m~ake-believe clouds,
striking the village church steeple,
then the country store and, OCCASION
ally, both at once. The sound of thun-
der was realistic. In some tests, even
rain was produced.
The Pitttsfield laboratory said to be
the most powerful in the world, has
pioneered in the development of power
transmission since the construction OF
the first 1%5,OOOLvolt line was supervised
here. Transformers of a standard de-
sign, built here. were used to step up
a currens of about 1000 volts 1000
times. In the m%illion-volt transformer
more than 100 miles of wire was used.
This was wound in such a way that
enormous voltages were produced, ex-
perts said, without the turn of a wheel.
Despite the fact that lightning
travels Mt the velocity Of light, $4,000
miles per second, engineers at the
Pittsfield plant have been able to
measure the shape of the flash and de-
termine Its pressure. 1t was to reach
a better understanding of these prob
lens that the miniature village and ar
tificial lightning were designed.

GERMANY BIDS FOR
new PEACE FARLEY
Conference With Those Entitled to Re
eeive Preparations Would Give
Voice to Germany

Washington.-An official text of the
new German proposals to the allies on
%reparations was before state depart
ment officials, transmitted by the Ger
man minister. DIR. Otto Weidfeldt, as
a matter of Information. While Off
cial comment was withheld, there can
be no doubt that the clause In the Ger
man note declaring that a method of
payment could be determined only by
direct consultations with those who
are to receive payments" attracted
wide attention In official circles.
The note was handed to the state de-
partment by DR.. Weidfeldt in the same
way 1t was presented by German dip
lomats at all foreign offices and its
receipt does not call for any acknowl-
edgment or diplomatic correspondence.
The purpose Of the German govern
ment in transmitting copies to all gov
ernments is merely to abide by the GUS
tom of diplomatic courtesy and to
make sure that all governments have
nm official translation of the German
proposals In their keeping.
In view of the position taken by the
American government before the Oc-
cupation of the Ruhr, the German dec
iaration for a direct, oral discussion Of
methods of reparations payments could
not fail to attract attention here. The
American suggestion to the French
government prior to the occupation of
the Ruhr was that a conference of In

Fort Worth, Texas.-The govern
ment won its first victory in its drive
against alleged fraudulent oil pro-
moters when Charles Sherwin and b.
Fl. Schwarz were sentenced to serve
10 years In the federal penitentiary
and pay fines Of SIS, 900 each and Gen.
eral" Robert A. Lee was sentenced to
serve two years in the pe~nltentiary and
pay a fine Of $4,000. The sentences
and fines were imposed on the defend
ants by Federal Judge Benjamin Bled-
soc aftcS the jury had returned q YER
dict Of guilty, against all three defend
ants.
Lee, Schwarz and Sherwin were Of
ficlals of the General Les Development
company and were convicted on five
charges of using the mails to defraud
in oil stock sales and on a charge of
conspiracy. The jury was out less
than two hours.
Sherwin and Schwarz were SEN
fenced to serve 81 years each in the
prison, but the sentences run concur
rently, so az to make a total of 10
years for each defendant, with a fine
Of $4,000 each.
General" Lee was guilty on all six
counts. In his case Judge BledsOe pro-
nOunced a sentence of two years and a
$1,000 fine on each Of the six counts,
but specified that the prison terms
should run concurrently, making two
years that Lee will serve. He will
have to pay the $4,000 fine, however,
according to Judge Bledsoe's ruling.

Manure Pits Are
Most Desirable
To Retain Fertilizing Value
to Greatest Extent It Is
Best to Exclude Air.

Manure pits or boxes are desirable
for the temporary storage of manure.
especially In towns and cities. These
have been widely advocated but the
difficulty has been that manure often
becomes infested before 1t Is put into
them. and flies frequently breed out
before the boxes + emptied and
often escape through the cracks. To
obviate these difficulties a manure box
or pit. with q cont trap. attached. u
desirable.
In order to retain the fertilizing
value Of manure to the greatest extent
1t Is advisable to exclude the air
from It as much as possible and to
protect 1t from the teaching action Of
rains. 1t is not necessary. therefore.
to cover a large part Of the top Of the
box with a trap, but merely to have
holes large enough to attract files to
the light, and to cover these holes
with ordinary conical traps. with the
legs cut of, SO the bottom of the
trap will at closely to the box. The
same arrangement can be made where
manure is kept In a pit. In large
bins two Or more holes covered with
traps should be provided for the es-
cape Of the flies.
Make Bin Of Concrete.
Manure boxes should be used by all
stock wne In towns and cities :;
they are also adapted to farms. The
size of the manure bin should be gov
erned by Individual needs, but for use
OF the farm It Is desirable to make 1t
large enough to hold all the manure
produced during the busiest reason
Of the year. A box IA feet long, 10
feet wide. and 4 feet deep will hold
the manure produced by two horses
during about Ave months. About 2
cubic feet Of box space should be al
lowed for each horse per day. The
bin should be made Of concrete. The
bin may have a floor or It may be
set in the ground several inches, and
the dirt closely banked around the
outside. For the admission of the
manure a good-sized door should be
provided In either end of a large bin.
A part Of the top should be easily re-
M0'oCAC AoA Shptyih8 TIC DoAs VI Ouc
entire end may be hinged. On &C
count of the danger Of the door be-
ing left open through carelessness, II
IL advisable to arrange a lift door
which can be opened by placing the
foot on a treadle as the Is
shoveled In. The door should be
heavy enough to close itself when the
treadle Is released.
Maggot Trap Described.
Attention is directed to q maggot
trap as described In Farmers Bulletin
S51 Of the Department of Agriculture.
Where large quantities Of manure are
produced on a farm this method Of
storing the manure on q platform and
trapping the maggots which breed out
may be more convenient than the
manure bin.
