Ing. The G. E. organization is made up of the kind of men who are bound to succeed and give service where service is required. W congratulate both the new officials and the organization. The Postmaster general, through the Civil Service department has sent out notices to the effect that competitive examinations would be held on July 18th for the Postmastership o. the Ihcatur Post Office. The term of the present incumbent, John W. Bosse will expire September Sth and since the republicans are now in power, chances are that a republican will be appointed.

As far as we know, the understanding was that the selection of a postmaster here was a settled fact and many are wondering how ‘competitive”,the examination will be Don’t be afraid to express your ipiniou in writing about the building >f the Adams County Memorial Hospital. The hospital trustees are not building tlie hospital for themselves done, but for .the community and will act that way.

The hospital will be a ' mblic institution and the trustees ire desirious of serving the public. '

MOONSHINE BY GAS The crime wave in this state has Token out in a new place, says a lichigan newspaper. Makers of il icit booze have taken to stealing gas o run their stills, evidently on the rinciple that two crimes are better han one. Gas companies have detected for everal months as unusual an in reasing use of gas unaccounted for >y the figres registered on their neters. There is always a certain 'ercentage of loss, but as enforcement of the Volstead act has become nore rigid, this has mounted in many nstances to considerable proportions Careful investigation disclosed that nany enterprising but unscrupulous ustomers had been tapping the gas >ipes on the street side of their me ers, making connections with capa ■ions stills. Under the penal law any lerson who taps a gas pipe and uses inmetered gas is guilty of a misdeneanor. Thus the moonshiners had ieeii violating both federal and state itatutes.

DEFEAT HANDED LLOYD GEORGE REGIME TODAY

(Continued from page one) house of Lords yesterday, when the Palestine mandate policy was rejected 60 to 29, despite the Earl of Balfour’s maiden speech, followed so closely by today's defeat, gave opponents of the government something definite upon which to base their demands for resignation. The government recently was defeated in the house in a minor question relating to teachers’ salaries, but the ministry ignored the matter because whips had not been put on, and only a small house was present. Lloyd (Gedrglp's political enemies, embittered by successes scored by the premier in typical Lloyd George fashion since his return from Genoa, feel r that now; in the t|me ; they cag m<jst embarrass him' by forcing th© issue. Wjith British delegates at'’The' Hague carrying on the premier’s Genoa policies, resignation of the ministry prob i ably would mean collapse of the entire project of reconciliation with Russia. Lloyd George’s one big interna- : Clonal project would be swept away, i The “die hards” who hate the premier because of his stfcnd on Ireland,

and the labor members ot parliament who are bitter because 100,000 workers in engineering trades were forced to capithlate and accept employers' terms following a lockout, will be united against Lloyd George when the present issue upon which the government met defeat in committee comes before the house. The government has two courses open. To pocket its pride, introduce the bill providing for national health insurance with the amendment forced upon it and say nothing, or revamp the; whole measure, submit it to the house of commons and demand a vote of confidence on the issue. The latter course is fraught with considerable danger, although a combination ot the conservative majority of "dead" voters in the house and Lloyd George.'s persuasive eloquence would undoubtedly guarantee him a small majority. Political observers say that unless Lloyd George himself is ready to resign he will be able to weather the storm and continue in office until after the Hague conference. A general election is due in the fall anyway and it is merely a question now of what IJoyd George considers the best time to hold on. i—• FIREMEN PLAN FOR BIG TIME AT CONVENTION (Continued from page one)
