Stolen Car Found
Near Illinois City

REWEY- Jewett car stolen
from the Davis Bros. garage here
early Sunday a week ago, was recov-
cred early Tuesday last two miles
northeast of Morrison, Ill.
The car had been abandoned and
gave evidence of fast driving. The
timing gears were stripped and this
no doubt caused the abandonment.
The Wisconsin license plate had been
changed for an Illinois plate which
had previously been stolen from
another abandoned car.
One of the Davis brothers returned
home with the car Tuesday night.
The five bandits are still at large.

August Has Wonders
No Less Than May

This seems to be wonderful apple
year and early apples are breaking
down the trees and going to waste
right now. The apples are of excel
lent quality and would bring fancy
price in larger centers where no fruit
is grown.
Meadow mushrooms are in bearing
now and those who know have been
picking some succulent messes lately.
The crop is light at present but will
be abundant following early rains.
The meadow, most edible of the large
fungus family, is known by it's white
top and pink gill. However, if you
don't know mushrooms, don't monkey
with them unless you want to be
stunning a harp before your time.

Why then, if Europe is an armed

We furnished the money for the last

Sign Deceiyes Tourists.


A large advertising sign posted near
the canning factory advises the tour
ist that camp facilities exist at
Schreiner Park
When this sign was going in the
man erecting it was informed there
was no tourist camp at Schreiner park
and that that portion of the sigu
should be changed or painted out. He
refused to do this, saying he was di-
rected to put the incorrect informa-
ton on the sign by Lancaster man.
Last week a tourist went to
Schreiner park to camp and finding
no facilities there, drove away from
the town, sore. He went to Fenni-
more, where he found good camp.
Whether Lancaster has camp or
not is up to the people here. But
signs deceiving visitors should be

Examiners Report is to
Say the Least, 'Bearish'

decided "bearish" report was filed
last week by Chas. Brown, deputy
banking commissioner, in charge of
Lancaster, through his ATTORNEYS,
Brennan & Carthew.
In his summary Mr.. Brown saws the
assets as listed are the book value
and not the true value of same. He
says some OF the bills payable, or
notes, are not valid obligations on the
purpOrted makers. He says many
bills payable, or notes, are absolutely
worthless and that judgments held
are OF doubtful, if any value. The
larger part of the overdrafts are I'M
collectable, Mr.. Brown AYERS. Liens
are held against the banking fixtures,
multiplying them as an asset. The
building is mortgaged. Stocks held
are OF no market value. The real
estate listed is of small value as little
could be realized on the Dakota land
and the Grant county land was car
RED on the books at an excessive
value. Certain sums listed as "casn
items" are of no value, Mr.. Brown
concludes.
The report of assets gives a total
OF $300,900.S6. This is divided in the
summary as follows:
Bills receivable held by the
Peoples State Bank ------$ 94,547.4S

Tuppence Enters Domestic Service.

Tuppence Enters Domestic Service.
When Tommy set forth on the trail
of the two men, it took all Tuppence's
| self-command to refrain from accom-
panying him. However. she contained
herself as best she might, consoled by
the reflection that her reasoning had
been justified by events. The two
men had undoubtedly come from the

The question was what to do next?
She retraced her steps to the entrance

vigor and a reasonable amount of ac-
curacy.
