 The idea was conceived by Dr George Mecklenburg, of Wesley Methodist Temple.
 A plan to divide this city of 50O,0O0 into wards and districts was agreed upon. A leader was appointed for each section. It was his job to find out what work had to be done and what surplusses. if any, were available.

TRADE AGREEMENT
NEAR AT OTTAWA
Canada and United Kingdom
Believed Close to Treaty
on Exchange of Goods.
Nv the Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August IL
Sources close to Prime Minister r. B,
Bennett of Canada were informed today
that announcement of trade agree
ment between the dominion and the
United Kingdom was impending.
1t became apparent that if the I'm
perial Economic Conference is to end
the next week with sny accomplish
ment aside from bi-lateral treaties
something must be done soon. The de-
tails of the pact between Britain and
Canada may not be revealed until the
agreement is presented to the legisla-
tures of the two nations, but announce
ment that the conference has progressed
toward some solution of the empire s
economic crisis is expected soon.
American observers here heard this
news with surprise and some uneasi-
ness. They we're not convinced that
Canada was willing to 60 further in
granting tariff preference to Britain on
textiles, but they thought that an agree
ment at this late date might signify
that the United Kingdom was ready to
control imports without specifically
naming Russia.
Import control presents the posSibil-
ity Of quota system, which would cut
off importations from any country
found dumping goods at prices under
production costs. America would not
be involved in the dumping phase OF
the problem, it was said, but might be
hit by quotas, which would be set from
month to month in an effort to give ad-
vantages to Canada and. the other do
Hinions.
Such plan, it was pointed out, would
answer Canadas complaint of Russian
dumping without necessitating an en-
barge on Soviet goods or a definite
break with Russia, Argentina and Den
mark. 1t would mean a better market
in Britain for dominion natural prod
gets without raising criticism that tar
III preferences had led to food taxes.

SUSPECT in BANK ROBBERY
in CUSTODY AT MEMPHIS
(By J. G.. Kennedy

| Because of the excellent police
work of Sheriff Louis B. Adrean, r.
Philbeck, accused of the attempted
robbery of the Amesville bank last
Thursday, is in custody at Memphis,
Tenn.
Last Thursday morning, Phil
beck, it is alleged, in company with
another young man, entered the
Amesville bank and approached the
cage of Cashier Thomas. Thomas,
suspicious of the actions Of the
pair, was ready for them, and when
the command came, put up your
hands," he opened fire instead. He
missed Philbeck, who returned the
fire. The bullet struck and passed
through a picture which hung by
the cashiers window, and struck
Thomas on the chest Only the fact
that a button on his undershirt de-
f1ected the bullet saved his life, but
the impact felled him. AS he lay
PROSTATE the other bandit fired
once at him, but missed.
The pair then fled, as the girl
bookkeeper set off the burglar
alarm. Officials in nearby towns
were notified to be on the watch,
but although the roads were guard
ed and the pair was seen in the vi
cinity of Todds, the two bandits
succeeded in making their getaway
Sheriff Adrean had been in Co.
lumbus at the time of the robbery
delivering a prisoner to Ohio peni-
tentiary. He only learned of it on
his return home. He Immediately
started checking up on the actions
of Philbeck in this vicinity, and
learned that he had pawned a
watch to G.. o. Wood, jeweler, Civ

Madison street address. This fact
together with all information con-
corning the type of car Philbeck
was driving, the license number

his companion he forwarded in a
letter to the chief of police of Mem

limited his communications con-
corning the hold-up to Sheriff

Wednesday night, the sheriff re-
ceived a telegram from the Mem

Adrean's excellent work on the case,
Philbeck had been located and ar
rested.
In all probability, had not
