Luther Worl, treasurer of Grant county until last week, when he turned over his affairs to his deputy and left his office has been found short $21,233.35 by the state accountants, lie has been charged with embezzle-1 ment and is under $20,000 bond. Worl ' has been a republican leader for several years in Grant county. A fwe days ago a story that Secretary of State Lansing was opposed to the League of Nations covenant was sent out through the press associations. Last Saturday the secretary made an address in New York in which he stated his position clearly in favor of the league and the peace treaty and advised the immediate rat-; iflcation. His denial puts the oppon-: ents of the league in the unenviable ! position of misrepresenting the facts to win a point. Surely if they must stoop to such methods and since such efforts as this seem the only argu-1 ment against President Wilson’s position. the people of this country will

An important meeting will be held here Thursday of this week when fif-ty-four fire chiefs representing fourteen counties in this section of the state will hold a convention and will discuss many problems of importance.

| — — — THE JEWS ASK YOUR AID. Barney Kalver, a Jew appointed chairman, is struggling to have Adams county raise six thousand dollars to help millions of his faith, and yours, in Europe who are actually starving and dying by ’ thousands. There are only five Jews in Adams county and there are twenty-five thousand Gentiles. The Jews must have help here and elsewhere or they fail. To fail would be heartbreaking. The glorious impulses of Christianity in 25,000 people will not permit of failure in this county. Our Christian honor is at stake. Mr. Kalver is greatly handicapped in this struggle but can he depend upon able assistance? rhe answer to that is that about 200 men and women in this county have pledged their word that they will plunge into the work <»f Solicitation with Christian zeal. Will not a generous people pour into their outstretched hands the money needed?
