FEW BASIC CHANGES

CHICAGO. October 9.-Cnlike the
various electrical instruments they
represent, circuits used in radi, re-
ceiver construction have shown no
great basic cha since the wireless

devised. Other sections OF the hook

the increas sing number of tubes and

popular with the home building en-
thusiast was the regenerative. 1t had

Investors in England still dream
of time when they will be able tc
collect part OF all Of their claims
against O number OF the southern
states. These states issued bonds
during the Civil war large blocks
being taken by wealthy people in
England whose sympathies were
with the effort to establish the Con
federacy. When the war ended and
the plans for the Confederacy fail
ed, the bonds were left In question
The states have made no provision
for redeeming their obligations, in
sisting the investors took their
chances when they bought the bonds
and the securities were only part OF
all that was included in the failure
of the lost cause.
Chambers of commerce in Eng
land have united in request that
the British foreign secretary dis
cuss the subject with the American
ambassador, emphasize the merit OF
the claims and request the American
government to aid in having the
issue submitted to and heard by the
supreme court at Washington.
OF course the government has no
power TO do the thing requested and
that information must have been in
possession of the bondholders. There
is no power lodged in the govern
ment at Washington to summon any
state into court by order or decree.
Legal issues may not be joined in
court in that manner Doubtless
the bondholders sought by the
means employed to appeal to the
states in question, hoping some
method might be found of adjust
ment On that point one may ex-
pect failure. Debts of that nature
hardly can be collected. England
made bad guess in putting about
SIS, 100000 into the Golfers Of the
Confederacy during the war. In the
end she will pay about that sum for
making bad guess. Her present
effort is gesture, entirely under
standable, but certain to end in
failure.-O. S. Journal.

more than 25 per cent of the amount
collected for the entire state. Only
three counties in the state had an
increase of more than one million
dollars in the amount of taxes col

were Cuyahoga county, with an in

OLD PEACH BRANDY CALLS
BACK THE BY-GONE DAYS

We see by the Noble County
Sharon is the possessor of half
pint of peach brandy in the original
bottle which his father, Franklin
Burlingame purchased July 8, 1875
from Benton Thorla, who kept
liquors and a general store at Belle
Valley. This is certainly a rare ar
ticle and brings to our mind tide
of recoIlections This brandy was
made by my father Frank Thorla
about So years ago, at the old dis
tillery that stood up the ruR~a short
distance above the ruins Of the pres
ent structure To the best of my
knowledge all who helped in any
way, except my mother who cooked
| for the hired hands, and the writer,
who was a lad in the teens, have
passed off the stage of action. The
peach orchard contained about 1900
| trees and it took lot of hustling to
gather the crop. Uncle Hains
Thorla was the teamster and acted
as foreman over the gang of men in
the orchard. The peaches were al
lowed to get ripe, shaken off, gath
cred in baskets and hauled to the
distillery and shoveled into a long
deep trough hewed from large
poplar log, and about four men arm
ed with smashers, something like
fence post tampers, only heavier,
would mount the trough, straddle
across with a foot on each edge of
the trough and churn up and down
until the mass was reduced to fine
pulp. The sides of this trough
would become smeared and slippery
so that it required some watchful-
ness to retain a foot hold. One day
a "greeny," We'll not mention his
name, came on the job and about
the first thing he did was to slip off
and go sprawling down on the side
of the trough. This of course was
fun for the rest of the men. He got
up and told them that he believed
he could do better if he was in his
bare feet, so off came his boots and
he said now he'd show them what he
could do, and presently he did. His
heels flew up, and down he went
