A soybean meeting was held at the ' Martin Brennan place in Wabash , I township yesterday afternoon when . a number of farmers of the neigh- , borhood had gathered to inspect Mr. Brennan’s two fields of Ito San Soy- , beans and a variety test which he has , made in one field. Mr. Brennan had , < tit some of the soybeans for hay and i those present were able to see the , large bulk of good hay which can be , obtained from an acre by using this crop. In another field, where the beans had been sown considerably 1 earlier, the beans were too far along for hay and will be threshed later. The variety test showed that in the low. black soil the Midwests were much larger and later and accordingly should be used in corn. Manchus were some larger than Ito Sans but County Agent Busche has stated there is a possibility of Ito Sans being bet- • ter in higher ground, since two of the variety tests seen have showed Ito Sans to be some larger in that 1 case. However, that statement cannot be definitely indorsed as yet. A similar meeting will be held at the Otto Peck farm, north of Preble next Monday afternoon. Those interested are invited. o Your Automobile Runs 600 Miles Per Month Indianapolis, Sept. 1. —Your automobile be it a flivver of an expensive benzine scow, runs an average of GOO miles a month, if figures mean anything and if our bus consumes an average amount of gasoline.

COURT CONVENES ON NEXT MONDAY September Term Opens Monday A. M. —Several Cases Set For Trial. Prepart ions were bylng made to- ! day for the opening of the September term of court next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Judge Jesse C. Sutton said today that the court would b> convened at 9 o'clock Monday morn ing, but that adjournment would lx taken shortly afterwards on account of that day being Labor Day. Th> law requires that court convene oi the first Monday in September. Several state cases have been se for trial during the first week of th' term. None were set for trial on Monday, but on Tuesday the follow ing cases are set for a hearing State vs. Ivan Smith, State vs. Jaco' Weideman; and State vs. Samuel J Renner. The following cases are set for trial during the first week, also: State vs, Zuber, Wednesday: State vs. Limenstall. Thursday; and State vs. Erwin. Friday. The case of Dia! et al vs. Rowan et al is set for trial Manday. September 10, before a jury and special judge, R. H. Hartford, of Portland. The case of Rhoades vs Armstrong, is set for a hearing before a jury and Special Judge Sumner Kenner, of Huntington, on Septern her 13.. Several cases likely will be set for trial during the first week of tin term. There is a large number of cases now on the docket to be dis posed of during the September term The grand jury will not be called to meet during the September tern of court unless some unforesen cause should arise, but it will be call ed into session on the opening day o' the November term. The court room and adjacent ot fices have been thoroughly cleane ’ by James Stults. custodian, and ar assistant, and the large court room presents a clean sanitary appear ance. No changes have been made ir court attaches. ITALIANS BEGIN (Continued from page one) While Chancellories are bend;'ng every effort toward easing of the situation, which hourly becomes more critical. Premier Musselini continue*o carrv forward his nlars of hurni’ iating Greece in retaliation for the murder of five Italian commissioners. A new note was handed the Greek government today. It was unrelenting in its demands for more than $2,000,000 indemnity and other points set forth in the original ultimatum. The occupation of Greek territory was characterized as “peaceful” and the hope expressed that Greek inhabitants would do nothing that might render the occupation a more serious matter. Allied authorities are becoming more concerned hourly. The league of nations will take up the GrecoItalian problem this afternoon but Italian representatives are understood to be prepared to deny tho league’s jurisdiction. In this event the league can only back up such mandate as it may issue, with force British authorities are now speculating on the possibility of requesting that British troops and ships cooperate with the league in event forcible intervention should be neces sary. A strong British fleet is in th< Mediterranean. In addition \to the fleet there are now approximately 15,000 British troops with full war equipment o' munitions' and stores now stationed in the Near East. There are about four war-strength battalions with stores and auxiliaries now in the vicinity of Malta, en route home on transports. These troops might be diverted for necessary service. The British government officials frankly take tho attitude that they regard the league as having complete jurisdiction in the present crisis. England is prepared to. accept the league's decision. There is hope that the affair may be settled without force. But, at the same time, it is realized that the league is facing a most exacting test. There was soint doubt in British minds to the stand France might take. o Highway Commission Names District Engineer t'nliwl J'rcHx «tnff CorwHwnHent Indianapolis, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The state highway commission today appointed Virgil Lee of Anderson, formerly an engineer with the commission, as district engineer in charge of the Fort Wayne area, comprising seventeen counties and about 550 miles of state roads.
