Lubec is particularly interested in
the celebration of National Canned
Foods Week, because it was citizen
of Lubec who discovered and pre-
cmpted the secret of canning and
sealing, while it was being done rs
years ago, for the first time in New
England, at Treats Island. U. p.
Treat, who at the time had been
living in PASSPORT, moved to the
Island, about 1916, and built a large
mansion. stocked the island with
foxes and kept a pack of hounds
with which to follow them; living
the life of country squire. Hear
ing that fish were successfully cam
ned in Europe, he conceived the
idea of entering into that business,
and hired a Scotchman named
Mitchell. who instructed him in the
art from knowledge gained in the
odd country" HOLSTERS, which were
very plentiful and unprotected by

and cupidity of western firms. one

WAR DEBTS MEET

LONDON, July 15.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Preparatio vir-
tually have been completed for the
meeting here at the foreign office
Wednesday morning of the inter
allied conference, believed by many
to be one of the most important
of International events in several
years, The purpose of the confer
ence, in brief, is the discussion of
methods of putting the Dawes re-
port on reparations into effect.
More than $50 delegates, experts
and advisers will be present when
Premier Macdonald opens the con-
ference and hears the responses of
the leading plenipotentaries.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel
GUM and Japan will each be rep
resented at the conference by sew
eral delegates.
American Amba ssador Kellogg will
be the only accredited representa-
tive Of the United States, but Col
onel James A. Logan. Jr., one of
those .most familiar with the COM
pleXities of the reparations prob
lem, will sit beside him as his Off
cial adviser. The only other Ameri-
can who is likely to participate is
Owen D. Young, a member of the
Dawes committee on the German
budget and currency problems, and
known to the British as the man
behind the Dawes report
While Mr.. YOung's presence In
London is entirely unofficial the
American ambassador Monday after

indicated that he was willing and

conference and do everything in his
power to aid in making the experts
findings practicable.
On the eve of the conference a
decided atmosphere of optimism pre-
walls. At the conference between
| Premiers Macdonald and Herriot at
Paris last week the French pre-
mier characterized the occasion as
| the best day for the entente since

| American and British observers
| hope the deliberations at the con-
ference will be productive Of an ar
rangement which will end at once
and for all time the quarrels and
misunderstanding that have embroll-
! ed Europe since the great war
ended.
The first business of the confer
ence after the opening ceremonies
will be the agenda which will be
based on the exchange of views be-
tween Premiers Macdonald and Her
riot. The agenda will be strictly
confined to the Dawes report.

connection with illicit liquor traffic
for the past several years. Joe Baze-
eral counts in both the Screven
county and Effingham county
courts.
Solicitor General Anderson, OF the
Ogeechee circuit, says that last
