MUST tit GOOD LOOKING (United Press Service) ! New York, July 31—(Special to , Daily Democrat) —Half hose for worn 'n are passe. They’re wearing 2.75 hose. An enterprising reporter braved the shop-1 ping district to find out. just how pop- I ular half hose were. He discovered i : he was several days too late. “Do the girls wear them much?” ! echoed one salesgirl to his query, regarding the new 2.75 hose. “My goodness, yes. Look!” The reporter blushed and admitted they did. “What’s the excuse for them?” “They’re so nice and cool,” gurg- ; ling, “and they—well, they have - other advantages.” “Er' er' ho.w are they kept in place? i The salesgirl picked up a. pair of ■ | shimmers 7 blue silk things, about as I long as a split second and said: “They turn down the edges like this and put a rubber band under the roll.” “They’re so popular,” she added, "that we rather expect a demand for ■ them even next winter.” BATTLE WITH BANDITS | Galveston, July 31.—(Special to ! ■ D:iily Democrat) -- Forty Villistas] ■ were killed, eleven taken prisoner and I many wounded in a battle between Carranza cavalry and Villista troops, l , under command of Villa yesterday.

“AS USUAL” PLEA 1 • Is Made by Germany for ! I • Resumption of Business : IJ as Before War : A GREAT STRUGGLE.! Is On for That Nation Be- ! ■ tween Many Conflicting |! Elements. ! i; (By Carl D. Groat. United Press ■ t Correspondent) ! Berlin. (By Mail).—Germany just ! now is striving hard to revive the ; slogan. “Business as usual.” which • plagued several nations during the ! war until they learned that the "as J usual” didn't fit with war. With Get-many at present, it is a ! struggle between many conflicting J elements not the least of which are ' decreased raw materials, rolling I ' stock, markets—and an impaired I 1 labor supply due to war conditions, • lowered food, and industrial unrest. • But while the government has been ! wrestling with Spartaeus and near-.: Fpartacus troubles; with strikes; po- • ' litical agitation; new constitutions I and so on, German business men ' have been casting about to get back ■ to work and trade. j! The first concrete evidence of this J has just come to light with the report 1 ; that a business men's commission ■ has been making a three weeks’ in- JI vestigation in Russia with a view to ; 1 finding an outlet for German products • j in that war-wearied land. !. While much of Russia is in chaos, ,J the business men were reported to J feel that there is a favorable outlook ■ for them in that country. I I One factor overlooked in general ; discussions of German business pros- • i pects is her supply of potash. This , supply is unaffected by the peace J treaty; and the world is clamoring • for this for fertilizer purposes. And • Germany can get this product out at : only slightly increased cost over her : previous price, while, at the same • time, she can demand more marks for I it than before in view of the lowered : value of the mark. In this wav, she ' • stands to gain considerably from < this on° source alone. J This business should prove vast 1 again within a short time, thus enabling the country to obtain credits for materials from foreign countries. -'Socialism, however, may upset many of their plans, for there can be no question that there is a constantly increasing trend toward socializaI tion of many lines of business. UnI til the time comes, however, in which I business is a state affair, the German business man intends to go after fresh trade, as evidenced by this freshly completed Russian probe. Germany believes that it can reach out to the east for business, and this move shows that there is where the trend is first going to be. It was reported that Russia could undoubtedly give some agricultural products, particularly eastern Russian cotton, in return for manufacturled goods. This, however, will probI ably depend largely on transportation ! facilities which at present appear to be in bad shape. WOMAN NOT WORRIED OVER FOOD SHORTAGE “I have lived on toast and water for over G months and have- been scarcely able to eat anything for the past year. I began suffering from stomach trouble and bloating 5 years) ago. A friend recommended Mayr’s I Wonderful Remedy and since taking IG doses I feel lam enteirely restored; (even cabbage does not hurt me.” It .is a simple, harmless preparation .that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refundedd. Holthouse Drug Co., and Druggists Everywhere. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE (United Press Service) Indianapolis, July 31. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —Rains in Indiana last night were characterized by the U. S. weather bureau here today as “million dollar thunder showers." In several counties which were suffering badly from lack of rain there was an inch of precipitation the weather bureau announced. The thunder showers were general over northern Indiana and Ft. Wayne, Rayal Center. Lafayette. Anderson. Cambridge. City and West Bloomfield. All reported an inch of rain. Conditions are favorable for thundershowers over the state tonight and tomorrow and further relief may come to the suffering crops.
